Let me start by saying this, Hop has skills as a rapper, and could be great. I enjoy a LITTLE of his work.

But really, am I the only one who sees right through Hopsins gimmick?? His gimmick is extremely corny, and I honestly don't see how any grown man could enjoy his music. He markets himself towards kids. The same kids I.C.P. marketed themselves to. His fans are like this generations Juggalos really, and just as many of I.C.P.s fans do, once they grow up a little, they're going to grow right out of his music. He goes after the "shock factor" more than 90% of rappers. His senseless dissing is rather annoying honestly, and is just another part of his gimmick. It's the good 'ol 50 Cent way into the game. He goes after rappers he know won't respond to him and ones that are easy targets. They honestly don't even count as a diss in my opinion. For a diss, click here. You can just tell that he is striving for fame by listening to his music. It lacks passion, and his gimmick just backs up that he's striving for fame. Did anyone actually listen to "Gazing At The Moonlight??" That is a perfect example of Hopsin being gimmicky as fuck, and not even doing his gimmick well. lol at that terrible album. He also has some of the corniest fucking lines I have ever heard. Really, some are just absolutely horrible. People say he is lyrical, but if you actually dissect his lyrics you'll quickly realize they are rather simple. For example, herehere, and here.  If you haven't noticed, his music is extremely repetitive. His lyrical content, beats, hooks, everything is full of repetitiousness. His production, mediocre at best. His hooks, absolutely horrible. He basically jacked early 2000 Em, except with no passion at all. 

P.S. I find it funny how he will openly diss a rapper by name dropping if he knows they wont respond, or he knows they wont fire back. But he had to subliminally diss the Game, here, because he knows Game would have fired back, and probably murked him with a diss. And I'm not a Game fan at all.

I understand, dudes got a nice flow, decent wordplay from time to time, and has a few catchy songs, but what in the fuck is it that makes people ride this dudes junk the way they do??

Hop is really hit and miss in my opinion. He has some shit that is top notch, and some that is annoying to listen to. And he is annoying the way he is always trying to get attention with his diss tracks, Youtube videos, and stupid comments on Facebook. I undestand marketing and all, but he could carry himself like the MAN he claims to be and stop being childish. Musically he is pretty good and has alot of potential, but Dizzy Wright is hands down the best artist on FV IMO...

this is comedy. but onto the topic at hand, Hop's the fuckin man. and while you say "gimmick" i say strategy. Tech is one of Hop's favorite rappers, Hop see's how tech's career has gone and IMO hes gunna use the gimmick shit and all that just to gain fame, cuz unfortunately pure talent doesn't catch the publics eye. but once he has the recognition and attention, that's when he REAL music will start to come out. i just don't think Hop wants to go down the Tech road to where you spend over 10 years making flawless music, only to BARELY get the respect and recognition he deserves. so OP, i see where you're coming from, i don't really agree, but i see why you'd say that, just give him some time, the potential is there and i think its just all part of his plan

I like how you used Hot 16's, Ill Mind of Hopsin 4 and Sag My Pants to discredit his ability of lyrics. Those aren't lyrical songs, there not supposed to be. There just funny songs, life isn't serious 100% of the time. That's what's appealing about him. He can be funny and identify with a select group of people. And like Hopsin has said before, if dissing rappers gets you somewhere, let's see you do it. Also, Hopsin has said Michael Jackson inspires most of his hooks. You'd have been better off saying Hopsin copied Eminem's style of rapping. All in all, this is an unnecessary rant and our comments are probably just as unnecessary because no amount of convincing will make you like Hopsin's music. Move on.
