Hopsin is a fucking cornball.
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, here, here, 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??

None of his songs are lyrical. Compare any Hopsin song, preferably his most "lyrical" to any true lyricist. It won't amount to shit. His rhyme schemes, metaphors, punchlines, all of it are simple as fuck.
"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." The fuck you think this was supposed to be?? A persuasive essay? lol. With that logic you could pretty much say any fucking conversation on this site in unnecessary.
HipHopFan said: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.

Ok we get it! There's no convincing to you that he's good and there's no convincing us that he sucks. Time to move on and just enjoy whatever music you like. Discussion over!

everyone takes everything up the ass. after a page and a half of posts, it turns into the same people bitching in the same manner and every thread turns into a "who can talk the most shit on the internet" contest. maybe for once we can actually discuss the unique taste in music we all have in a civilized respectful manner. sorry n shit but it just gets annoying.

Again, it's not like I wrote a persuasive essay trying to convince people to follow my opinion, or to get me to believe in yours lol. "Time to move on and just enjoy whatever music you like" wut? It's not like this is a huge on going problem I have hahahaha I simply stated what I don't like about him and why I think he's corny. Do you people on this site just not know how to have a simple conversation anymore?? Damn.

Exactly! That's why I'm on RapGenius more than this site nowadays. It's always the same shit posted, and when it's not people can't just have a simple conversation and discuss difference in views. Everyone takes it as if people are trying to push their views on them.

I get what your saying but u should realize a post talking down on an artist that a lot of people like usually turns into just a lot of people bitching back and fourth. U say u wanna everybody to talk in a civilized and respectful manner but yet u put down the people who listen to Hopsin by saying you don't see how any grown man can listen to his music. Well I'm a grown ass man and I happen to really enjoy his music.

lol you latched on to the one joke comment in my whole post, which was clearly pointed out as a joke when i follwed it by "no but seriously.." you just confirmed my comments about you by replying with such a childish reponse. dont bother replying because i will no longer be checking this thread
Alex M said:Just cuz I have an opinion on Hopsin that you don't like. Get the fuck outta here.
Z1mM3r said:because of this single reply from you Alex i will discard anything i read from you in the future and consider you a close minded, ill-informed, 15 year old.
to think down on someone/rapper is completely fine, everyone has their own opinion, yours just happens to be the wrong one lol. no but seriously... to openly admit that you didnt read the OP and think that you can actually add something to the conversations is a blatantly obvious example of your stupidity. :)

Yes Lynch has a gimmick, but at least he's good at it.
Nocturnal Rainbows is Hops most "Lyrical" song by far, sure everyone can agree with that, and it really isn't even that lyrical at all.
My point about his gimmick is that he tries so hard to make it as if he doesn't have a gimmick, that it makes it that much more annoying.

"None of his songs are lyrical. Compare any Hopsin song, preferably his most "lyrical" to any true lyricist. It won't amount to shit" - Jake Stocker
So by definition your saying Hopsin's music has less lyrical meaning then Justin Biebers song writer. Thats if you want to get technical about things.
but we all know what you meant by Lyricist
Lyrics of a song are only as meaningful as the interrupter makes them. But in a general sense there are defiantly artists who put more thought, heart, and effort into their music, its noticeable oftentimes.
"Real Artists get shelved, and the whack ones get famous
To Leave Masses Brainless, A smart mind is dangerous." - Hopsin
This song is pretty Lyrical and especially the second verse. Depends on how you feel about the Illuminati but all in all its pretty lyrical, i understand exactly what hes talking about in this song. Its a pretty clear picture he paints in the song.
All-in-all yeah Hopsin might not be no Tech N9ne but what is he like 21-23 hes still got a long time before retirement leaving him plenty of time to progress.
You think Hopsin has a bad Gimmick haha What about Brotha Lynch i don't see you ranting about his gimmick. I guarantee you he isn't out there eating people, or murdering anyone. Society is retarded they eat that shit up, that's why he does it. Thats why everybody does it.
To get on here and bash one kid who is following his dream, and in reality doing a pretty fucking good job at is pretty lame dude.
