Hopsin's a decent rapper but it seems all he ever does is diss other people because he knows it'll get him exposure.

This is a tune though.

There's just something about Hopsin that pisses me off be it his contact lenses or the fact that he disses tyler because he knows it'll get OF fanboys mad.

Contact lenses are gimmicky but you can't dismiss him just because of his appearance. Tyler sucks and deserves to be dissed though I don't know how you can hate him for that.

His contacts remind me of that What's Happenin' music video. The sag my pants song just seems like he's venting.

It's just like he's writing his bars and goes "Oh I know I'll just add a diss here why not". If you're going to diss someone go the full hog and release a diss track or go home. besides dissing someone for the point of dissing is fucking stupid.

1. Hopsin tries too hard and he comes off as contrived and corny. He tries too hard in his raps, contacts, and video production. It's like: "Hey look at me, I can be weird as fuck." Tyler's weirdness comes off as genuine and natural.

2. He seems bitter Tyler, who's more or less in the same niche, got more shine than him.

3. He has awful beliefs and opinions about the "Illuminati" and mainstream artists.

This is why I do not like Hopsin lol.

Killuminati rap is soooo '95

Tupac had the best and most logical view on the Illuminati in the rap game ever.

There's a lot of things to dislike about Hopsin, but my main one is that he's getting a fanbase off this "underground rules, mainstream sucks, all rap should sound like how it did in 1998 and never ever change forever." He's got some skill but he wastes it by doing this patently unoriginal and uninteresting shit. And underground-obsessed kids act like he's a hero for it. Like woop di doo you can sound exactly like early Eminem albums, now give me a reason to not just listen to early Eminem albums instead.

That's why I disliked him before he started beefing with OF anyway, now he just comes off as butthurt and whiny on top of everything else

This is how you diss people for attention:

Yeah I like GZA too but tbh nobody listened to that song. L'esprit de l'escalier

-nesto- · 5th January 2012

I had to google translate that motherfucker.

But it's funny when a beef starts via the fanbase

You know, i'm over the bling and cars and shit in hip-hop too, but i'm equally over all these self proclaimed "saviors of hip-hop" who think they're bringing the 80s/90s back. All their rhymes are like

"Yo
The rap game is whack
I'm gonna change all that
My raps stick like tacs
I love bernie mac
and work at radio shack
hella abstract n shit"

**TH89** · 6th January 2012

"Bling and cars" aren't even that big of a thing anymore, that stuff peaked in like 2000. People still complaining about that stuff are just showing off how out of touch they are. If he wants to be relevant he should rap about how he hates people pretending to be skateboarders.
