Hopsin is American rapper as well as a record producer, director and actor. He is an independent rapper who isn’t afraid to speak his mind on tracks. Wearing white contacts for his stage persona, he isn’t the typical rapper that talks about hoes and money, but someone who brings light to important societal issues that are so prevalent, but no one is willing to change it.
Just check out his best work, “ILL MIND OF HOPSIN 5:”
He brings light to the fact that society is brainwashing us to comply. By rapping, he releases his inner turmoil and frustration of the state of the world today. Hopsin did not have an easy come up. He dropped out of high school to pursue a career in music and worked hard to maintain true to the rapper he is today.
Mumble rappers these days seem to be doing everything he is against. They stick to cheap ways to get their song famous by making a fool of themselves to get publicity. People claim that it takes very little talent to do this, but they are getting a huge amount of fame with very little to no lyrics. People who support traditional rap have a lot to say about this new trend, and none of them are practically happy.
Hopsin is a known hater of mumble rap and he released a video for his song, “No Words” back in 2015, when mumble rap was just on the brink of getting big. (I wonder how he feels now?)
Check out the hilarious, “No Words” here:
He raps,
Man, rap today fucking sucks bad, I don’t give a fuck what anybody says These fools ain’t spittin’ no type of dope shit, but that’s not even the bad part; they’re not even saying words anymore They just got a hard-ass fuckin’ beat to trick dumb-asses like you to make you think you like the shit Play that fuckin’ beat! We got some real fuckin’ mentally retarded rappers in the game I know for a fact nobody know what the fuck these dudes be saying! Wait, turn my reverb and my auto-tune on real quick This what the fuck they be doing
[Intro] Yeah, haha, yeah! Shawty, let’s make money! Turn up!
[Verse] I put it Rollie, I’m drinkin’ straight lean A bitch is straight feelin’ my diamonds (my diamond) I roll in the city, my nigga, you got me The shit, man, that’s hit, on my mama (Brrrrp!) And give me some ugh! (Bow) Robbing them, nigga, and fool (I holla) Embedded the money, I got us some putty, some butter Hakuna Matata! (Tata! Tata! Tata!) (turn up!)

[Outro] Now watch these dumbasses be like “Aye, that shit was hard though, bruh!”
So love mumble rap or hate it, this video is still pretty funny. Hopsin even does it better than most of the rappers out there, which shows his fans that he could easily sell out to make a profit, but he doesn’t. Hopsin is a talented rapper that deserves a lot more credit. So many rappers are becoming super famous and they don’t even have half his talent- no wonder he is pissed. Don’t change your flow to get big Hopsin. Amongst all the bullsh*t Hopsin has stayed true to himself and his talent has shined through.
I’m extremely excited for the reunion but I wonder how the show is going to be now that they are all in their 30s at this point in their lives. Snooki and J-wow have kids now and basically, everyone is almost married or married. I wonder how that is going to play out when they are back at the shore. Kids change people and we might not be seeing them get too trashy.
Also, it looks like almost everyone has plastic surgery. Is it going to have the same appeal now that they are all insanely rich, or will that give them the motive to make this reunion show insanely popular to keep their status?
Overall I am happy to tune in to watch their reunion. Hopefully, it doesn’t ruin the old seasons for us, but with all the drama of Mike the Situation going to jail, and the fact that Ron is getting married it is sure to be entertaining. Maybe that’s why Sammi doesn’t want to go! Hopefully, they still have their alcohol tolerance or we might see a lot of puking.
When I hear that Chris Brown still has a career I get extremely upset. In 2018 he is still making music with decently popular artists that keep him on the radio. He just released a song with a music video, “Tempo” on March 2nd, 2018 and it has gotten about 14 million plays on Youtube and local rap station radios play it quite frequently. He just had a recent collaboration with Lil Dicky for “Freaky Friday” and that has gotten a lot of attention too. But the question in my mind will not remain silent. How could this guy still have a career after beating up Rihanna? What is wrong with the music industry to the point where someone who beats up his girlfriend still has a shot at a career and one that is doing pretty well. I could not imagine someone who still supports his career knowing that he has been in several cases of domestic abuse, and with real concrete evidence. This is not a speculation but a hard fact that doesn’t seem to be gaining any ground.
In February 2009 when the couple was set to go the Grammys they got into a heated argument which causes Chris Brown to hit Rihanna to the point where she got a horrific black eye that flooded the internet. After that fight, I was sure that Chris Brown would never see the light of day again but he is still making music almost ten years after the incident and people seem to be turning a blind eye to it. I can’t imagine that a record company would even want his name on the label. Chris Brown isn’t even that good so the fact that he is still making music shows how society views domestic violence. They don’t care unless they are involved and since it is not affecting them directly they are willing to turn a blind eye to it. No wonder why thousands of women never want to report domestic violence to the police, no one cares about it. If a huge celebrity like Rihanna cannot do anything then how would a normal person do anything to help themselves in that sort of situation? We have to start treating these cases like they are meant to be treated, and that isn’t lightly. Chris Brown is a dangerous person but we continue to treat him like his violent actions were a one-time thing. To trust Chris Brown and actually give him the time of day, says a lot about you. People lose their lives over domestic abuse and if someone thinks that isn’t important, they can figure it out themselves.
Although she does have good music that is typically pop based, something feels so off with her. I want to like her as a person but I just can’t based off of how condescending and ignorant she is. She claims to be someone who has their third eye completely opened but is using all her “differences” to market to teenagers which is hypocritical and goes against everything she stands for. She is basically a walking contradiction and almost everyone can see through it because she isn’t good at hiding it.
She thinks she’s the best thing to ever happen since sliced beard
Watch her talk on any interview, she thinks she is the second coming of Christ because she is bisexual. How different and creative, girlfriend. She says things out of her ass that come back to bite her. Then she has to make public statements that what she said isn’t what she meant. Really because it seems like you’re only making a statement because of the negative backlash. So condescending.
“TRI-BI”
Speaking of talking out of your ass, in an interview she claimed to be “tri-bi” because she is biracial, bisexual and has bipolar disorder. How ignorant. First of all, she is not special for being bisexual, which annoys the crap out of me. No one is more interesting for liking the same sex and the people who believe that they are probably have nothing else interesting about themselves. Not only does she think she’s cool, she uses her sexuality to market herself by appealing to a gay crowd to the point where I think she’s literally lying about her sexuality. Then contradicts herself by saying that she would never do that, and then has multiple videos of her half naked kissing girls.
Then she goes and wants to label herself as bi-polar like it is something to be proud of. She shouldn’t be romanticizing mental illness because that is extremely toxic and makes people actually want to have a disorder in order to be “cool.” Also, you shouldn’t let your struggle become your identity- HALSEY. Then she is biracial like ok cool, I’m here for the music. She now claims to hate that label because it makes her look stupid, which she is for even saying it in the first place.
She claims to be alternative?
Halsey constantly claims to be alternative or alt-rock based on her looks but every single song she puts out is pop. Also not only is it pop, but it’s generic pop. She is trying to be different and convince us she is, but she isn’t. Yes, the way she dresses can be seen as alternative but that does not correlate to her music style. You can’t just claim you are alternative when you put out trash songs like this:
She is Tumblr vomit
Her look and attitude are ripped off from Tumblr to the point where you can point out that her whole stage persona is completely manufactured. She wants to appeal to the social justice warrior side of Tumblr that is open about sexuality, politics, and feminism. It almost seems like she is reading from a script to create this stage persona.
It doesn’t seem genuine at all and it is just pathetic to see her trying this hard and still fail. She thinks she is going to be the next pop icon but I am sure she is going to fade out soon, and hopefully fast. I can’t stand this condescending poser and I want to listen to a singer who isn’t going to blatantly lie to their fans for publicity.
Check out this Youtube video that explains perfectly why Halsey is so unlikeable:
We need someone like Kali in the game. She is paving her way with a unique style and is not afraid to dive into topics that don’t include typical cliches. I am marking my calendar for April 6th and except a full album review coming up!
