Hopsin owns his own label, headlined his own tour, has 1 million+ views on youtube for Sag My Pants, has custom merchandise for sale, collabed with the #1 spot (Tech N9ne) & B.O.B., and sold 5,000+ copies of RAW which is more than a lot of indie rappers. All within the past year. You can't tell me Hopsin doesn't deserve a spot in the top 50 independent rappers. Oh and XXL definitely knows who he is after posting Am I A Psycho as one of their bangers and all the rants people commented when their freshmen issue came out without Hopsin..

the thing is popularity... outside of technicians and juggalos not very many people have ever heard of hopsin. hopsin could smash on anyone from OFWGKTA but they are light years ahead in popularity. a ton of people know who tyler the creator is. the only people that i know that listen to hopsin, are my freinds that i showed him to them.

whats with all the lil b hate??
am i the only one that thinks he is just being a parody??
Austin Baker said:

Your probably right....

Cole said:

so? XXL probably doesnt even know who he is lol. and im sure longevity/success/hype was more of a factor into this ranking than skill was (examples: Lil B and OFWGKTA)

Austin Baker said:

He's still better than half the dudes on this list....

Cole said:

theres no way Hopsin should be anywhere near that list yet.... yes he's a beast, but hes only been around for like 2 years

Austin Baker said:

yeah where is Hopsin? he should be top 5 on this list no doubt....

Aaron Salinas said:

It's actually not the bad of a list but I'm upset that no ther Strange artists are on the list and that Hopsin is nowhere. Oh and that Lil B is so damn high on the list, he's horrific.

exactly... Hopsin doesnt have nearly enough buzz yet to make a list like this

Joe Budden and Joell Ortiz are a part of Slaughterhouse too and they are on the list. A friend of mine said maybe Budden and Ortiz have sold more than Crooked and Royce, i think it could be that

DURSO said:

yeah im thinkin this shady records hello cant get more mainstream 

Dukecityspecialist said:

maybe because slaughterhouse is signed to a major now
indagame9 said:

Seriously, they really picked some good people. The only thing i don't understand is why Crooked I and Royce aren't on there as well with Ortiz and Budden. Doesn't Crooked have his own label? i'm not sure about Royce though. Glad to see Saigon there. To those talking about Lil B, i was hating on Lil B just like you guys(i'm not saying he should be that high if it's based on talent) but he can make decent songs like this

it's by far not the most lyrical but he says some real shit, not the worst rapper out there,just saying.

I hope you check it out. Let me know what you think.

Also, here's a link to Tech N9ne discussing me on allhiphop.com, http://tinyurl.com/44agol2.

If you prefer to get the book digitally, it is available on amazon.com and lulu.com, too.

Thank you and I hope all is well.

U should probably kill yourself for saying atmosphere is awful


Austin Baker said:

I agree with #1....

 

Budden should be #2, Blu needs to be higher. Lil B shouldn't be on this list at all and Atmosphere is awful....

Bro...I listen to all the guys u mentioned....no slugs not the mc he once was...but atmosphere still makes better MUSIC then alall of them period. And the slug of overcast to sevens travels would shit on just about anyone


Austin Baker said:

I think your right, because atmosphere has sold more records, but no way they are better than Bul, Joe Budden or Skyzoo

indagame9 said:

fair enough but they are probably basing it on more than just skill like how successful the artist is and he's making a lot of money from what i've heard

Austin Baker said:

Lil isnt awful but he shouldnt be on this list

i didnt read thru any of this. most people b sayin boring stupid shit. but wuts wrong wit odd future and icp? odd future in my opinion are some creative as fuck mutha fuckas. thur shit sounds mad different. and as fer icp. those guys were crazy dope story tellers back in the day. im not one of those juggalo guys, but i got mad respect for violent j for making an adaptation of the tell tale heart (edgar allen poe for u cats that dont read shit). a song called ol' evil eye. no my favrit song, but dope idea.

Sorryu Blu and Budden are way better than Atmosphere, Budden is prolly the best pure lyricist alive right now and Blu is up there as well.
