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.
Snapchat has made an ass of itself in the past month. Not only did they create a ridiculous update that made them lose $1.3 billion of the company’s market value, they have been messing with the wrong people.
The creators of Snapchat are acting like a victim but they are doing everything in their power to deserve the backlash they are getting. How could you possibly turn something as serious as domestic violence into a joke? That is just horrible and distasteful. It wasn’t funny at all and makes fun of victims of this horrible crime. Rihanna is a strong person for coming out of this situation alive and probably feels horrible that Chris Brown somehow still has a career. On top of this Snapchat put out the worst update in the history of updates to confuse users across all platforms. This company is giving me a headache and I am thinking of deleting the app. You can’t just make fun of domestic violence and expect your company not to lose millions of dollars. Like Rihanna said, “shame on you.”
Yesterday (March 13), Warner Bros. Records has confirmed a new deal with “Gucci Gang” rapper Lil Pump. Pump signed a contract for a whopping $8 million after his contract was voided at towards the beginning of the year.
The Miami native also announced that his Harvard Dropout album is on its way. Fans are making speculations that the 8 million dollar deal must be going towards this upcoming project.
Pump writes on Instagram “Got a new car got a new botch & I got a new deeaaal. 8 mil 1 project HARVARD DROPOUT OTW!!”
Congratulations to Lil Pump! Hopefully some new music is on the way real real soon.
Cigarettes are a lot of people’s vices but the long-term effects of smoking are extremely bad for your health as if we haven’t heard that before. But quitting a nicotine addiction is one of the hardest things to overcome, especially if you have been smoking for a long time. To quit, you probably should have never picked up the pack, but hey sh*t happens and now it’s time to end it for good. I have devised some of the best ways to quit smoking if you are actually motivated.
And I’m not here to tell you the basics like it causes cancer or you smell because everyone already knows that and by saying that over and over again you actually start to want to smoke more since everyone is up in your case about it. No, I’m here to be real with you. And yes we get it, we would save money, yea blah blah blah.
MOTIVATION
The first step to quitting smoking is actually having the motivation to quit and I’m not talking about if you’re on your sixth cigarette and tell your friend “ugh I need to quit” because how many times have you said that? Probably the last 30 packs you have bought. No, to quit you have to be dedicated to making a change and if you are not in the place of mind to do that, then save it for a time where you are mentally healthy and motivated. There have been so many times where people have talked about quitting but go right back to it because they want to smoke. You have to be at the point where enough is enough.
SET LONG TERM GOALS
My first trick to quit is to have something in your life that gives you the motivation to. Maybe it is a new boyfriend or girlfriend that hates going outside with you when you have to smoke. Do you really want to see them in the cold and giving you a nasty glare? Or maybe it’s a new job that would look down at you if you smoked. Or set a goal for your future and how smoking can come in between that. If you want to have a career and your future is looking bright you don’t need something that brings you down. Can you imagine if your life finally gets better and suddenly you have a health issue because of the time in your life when you were down? Believe you have a future.
GET A PHIX
The first step is to buy a vape or an e-cigarette. I wouldn’t suggest a traditional vape because it just doesn’t hit as hard as cigarettes. The juice is expensive and to get a “buzz” you have to smoke it a lot and it creates insane clouds that annoy everyone in the room because you are constantly blowing it in their faces. I had a vape for a while and I couldn’t seem to really get into it without having at least a cigarette a day.
Most people will buy a Juul to quit, but I don’t like the Juul as much because there are better and more effective options. The real secret to quitting is the Phix.
Purchase the Phix (on the left) instead of the Juul (on the right)
The Phix is the next step up from the Juul and will save you money in the long run. Juuls have a lower nicotine content. The Phix is truly the only way to quit. Go to your local vape store to buy one. It is also extremely easy to understand, unlike vapes, which could take a whole month to fully understand the contraption- which could lead to a frustrated cigarette break. Also, you will probably save no money when you quit so I’m debunking that rumor right now. The Phix is not the best product since it dies almost every four months after intense usage but hey, at least it’s not cigarettes right?
WORKING OUT
During the first few weeks of quitting- YOU WILL HAVE TO WORK OUT. I don’t care if you hate running, you have to. It is the only way to initially cut off the cravings. I would say go for a jog for about an hour every day when you are in the process of ridding your body of nicotine. And hey, I know you probably don’t have the best lungs for running but don’t get down on yourself. If you run for two minutes and have to walk for the next five, do it. Make yourself proud and continue to fight for yourself. Remember the reasons why you want to improve your life. This will also keep you skinny since quitting triggers intense cravings for junk food. Instead of the doughnuts go on a run, you’ll still be skinny.
DON’T GET MAD
Also don’t get mad if you have a cigarette on a cheat day because those things are going to happen. Or you might go to a party and chain smoke and feel like all your progress is gone because it isn’t. Quitting is hard and everyone is going to have their off days but just know that it is all a part of the process. Don’t tell yourself that you have failed and go back to smoking just because you have a misstep. Believe in yourself that you can do it. You might be in this process for a few months before you finally put the pack down, or maybe a full year. It is a process.
Also after you finally quit it is ok to have a cigarette once in a while if you had a bad day. Hopefully, you will kick the Phix, Juul or vape for good and be free of nicotine. It’s a nasty addiction but quitting truly opens up your mind, improves your health and gives you your power back.
It was unfortunate he had to die on Pi day (March 14th), but the world has a way of sending us signs. He was truly a God among men and he will forever be remembered.
People took to Twitter to give their condolences:
R.I.P. Stephen Hawking. Among his many profound contributions to this world was this simple sentiment: “It would not be much of a universe if it wasn’t home to the people you love.”
Stephen Hawking was diagnosed with ALS at 21 & given just 2 years to live. Not only did he defy the odds for 52 years, even as his body failed him, his mind soared. I hope his meeting with the Universe was beyond even his wildest imagining. 💜
Stephen Hawking was born January 8, 1942, on the 300th anniversary of Galileo's death. He died today, March 14th, on the anniversary of Einstein's birth. Time is circular – no beginning, no end.
