shadowrated (10/07/2015) [-] This is what separates Hopsin from the other mainstream rappers these days. He's pretty much making fun of how all they talk about is bitches, money, drugs, and money. Half of the time they don't even make sense because they don't even put effort into their songs. THIS is the reason why people hate hip-hop/rap so much.
Some people don't know that there is some rap songs that have actual meaning to it or inspire you.

noutvissers (10/08/2015) [-]
Ye Hopsin is one of today's greatest rappers.
Rap is defined so wrong by many of today's popular 'rappers'.
But try listening to others, there are many rappers that are real as **** and are lyrically brilliant. Aside from the obvious few Eminem, Kendrick, J. Cole etc. I feel MGK, Knowmads, Lil Dicky (Yes, this guy is pretty brilliant, given he is somewhat if an anti-rapper though) and Immortal Technique. The last one has written one of the darkest songs I know.
Video related, it's the song.

He's definitely one of the most underrated rappers there is. I don't listen to him a lot but every time I hear something by him it's ridiculously good.

yudodat ONLINE (10/08/2015) [-] I would assume so. Yelawolf is the **** . I hate most of his older stuff becuase it's all just nonsense rap, but some of Trunk Muzic, Radioactive, and Love Story are amazing because it's rap with a story.(The only good rap) He really only blew up as he has because he switched to real rap.
And holy **** , all the people that say Eminem is overrated or old, DON'T KNOW **** .
Headlights, Legacy, Seduction, Cinderella Man, We Made You, Old Time's Sake, all of it. Almost every song he makes is rap with a story. Even the crazy ones in Relapse, they all tell a story about him or someone else. **** , You're Never Over, about Proof and the friends he's lost over the years, try to find a line in that song that doesn't contribute to the story.
**** , dude. All these guys sprawling about "real rap" when all they say is nonsense. How can people be this stupid?

ninjaspartan (10/08/2015) [-] Mmmmyeeaaaah, let's not get a **** tone of purple lines started talking about Eminem. He's become an artist that's the acception to the rule about good rap, such that even though it's "good rap" it's really just bad now. He used to be the example for rap for the mainstream to show people rap could be good. Now he's not an example anymore and everyone thinks rap sucks again. After MMLP2 took a nose dive with the core fans opinions he kinda started to fall off. Some people think he fell off sooner than that. Em himself thinks he fell off right around Encore because of the lack of critical praise it got compared to his first three albums (check out "Careful What You Wish For" on Relapse: Refill). I would not put "Headlights" up there with the rest of the songs you listed myself.

yudodat ONLINE (10/08/2015) [-] Like anon said. He still has some amazing songs with emotional power. Personally, I don't think he can ever make a song more emotionally powerful than You're Never Over. Still, Headlights, the song about his mom, I cried when I heard it first time. Might be because I can relate, but still. And then Kings Never Die has that personal spin he likes to put where it's a sponsored song, but he just goes on about his life.

I'd also like to mention Kim, but I don't want to give any kiddies nightmares.

anon (10/08/2015) [-]
Never really liked rap. I remember my sister would try to get me to listen to Hopsin. Never digged him. But I am digging this. Never gave the guy the chance he deserved but I think I will now. I will always love Childish Gambino and Chance the Rapper. They also make some very meaningful songs. I would include Kid Cudi but I personally dont think he is a rapper. He does what he wants to no matter what. I love all of his stuff. Especially his song Love. Really helped me out through some dark times. And on top of that he made a beat and put a JFK speech over it. It is really coold and inspiring. JFK PSA if anyone was wondering.

StewieGGriffin (10/08/2015) [-] I don't like Hopsin because lyrically other underground rappers like Earl Sweatshirt leave him in the dust, and his subject is really just poking at the surface level of what modern rappers rap about. My favorite rapper will always be Vince Staples because he raps very similair to how NWA or old school Ice Cube would rap, except with clearly some darker tones in his newer songs.

kyleassante ONLINE (10/08/2015) [-] I've never looked for rap of any kind because whenever I heard it anywhere it was always a really nazely voice complaining about something and screaming. So for years I thought all rap was like that until I heard some songs where the rapper had a deep voice and was (relatively) well spoken, or at least you could make out the words and there was actually a meaning for the most part. Now I still don't listen to or look for rap, but I will admit that the entire genre ins't complete garbage and there are (I assume) some solid people in rap.

indeed, and it hurts my heart that so many people dont listen to rap because all the rap they know is the **** in the radio...and i was one of those people. but its not wierd that so many people feel that it is **** music, because it is on the edge to not being music i would say.. with ALOT of famous rappers.
but give it a chance there has been and are still alot of great rap out there.

Don't get me wrong, I love Hopsin, but people who complain about rap being stale, boring or whatever...dude have you even looked? I mean just look below at all of the suggestions.
Look at Hopsin, Eminem, Tech N9ne. Check out Kendrick Lamar, ¡Mayday!, Childish Gambino, Nas, etc. Like the older stuff? Give a peak at Tupac, Notorious BIG. Like the thug music? You got people like 50 Cent, Rakim's pretty solid as well.
Yes, There certainly ARE bad rappers out there, and they are most of what's wrong with radio rap, but saying that even most rappers are bad is a misnomer. Mainstream doesn't /want/ rap. They want music to listen to in the background, not poetry meant to stir feelings & emotions. They don't want to actually hear the words, it's all about the beat and attitude with a catchy hook they can sing along to.. That's mainstream music - that's always mainstream music.
That's why Stan was never played on the radio while I'm Slim Shady was a massive hit. That's why Nicki Minaj is holding like 3 of the top 6 spots on the radio, while so many people don't even know who Hopsin is. That's just the way it is.
There are more good rappers than bad, they simply don't chart well.

beetusmeat (10/08/2015) [-]
plenty of good rappers chart well
drake and kendrick for example
J cole had a huge album drop last year
kendricks new album blew up, drakes 2 albums this year both got 1st on billboard 100
tbh i dont like hopsin, just complains about rap but hes not that good.
Another factor that no one looks at is the production. If the beat is good but the song sucks, then that means the producer did good work. They dont get a lot of credit. A lot of the reason "good" rappers are underground is because they dont get good producers.
Knowing how to get famous is a part of being a good rapper.

I have personally never been impressed by Drake's raps, so I find it very..odd you call Hopsin bad and Drake good, when one of Drake's 'best' songs has about 7 words in it. "Started from the bottom now we here"... exaggerating a bit, but it has no real substance.

Felris ONLINE (10/08/2015) [-] I mostly listen to more modern hip-hop but I don't really care for Future or Migos or Young Thug and other people this is directly parodying.
You're really cherry picking with Drake there. He's got a lot of really good stuff. Marvin's Room, Headlines, Pound Cake( gotta love JayZ's cake verse)

I'll give it a listen.
Just..thusfar everything I've heard from him is either bad or he simply makes the track worse for being there. Nicki's Moment 4 Life is made so much worse by his presence, for example. To be fair, the track he did with Eminem wasn't really terrible...but I still wouldn't place that anywhere near my top 10 list of songs.

Stuff like La Dispute, Sage Francis or O´Death are amazing especially because they make sad music.
Just think about your comment: Imagine authors would only use their talents to make people happy...all the incredible, tragic books and stories wouldn´t be a thing.

minorian (10/08/2015) [-] I find it really hard to compare rap like Em's to rap like Tupac's. I actually have a hard time judging them both, as I hate some of Em's pop tracks and I can't stand some of Pac's more hardcore rapping, especially later when he kinda started rapping too much about bitches in the bad way. I got nothing against a ***** that appreciate the ladies, but his lyrics were really foulmouthed for no reason at times.
I am not the real person to judge those two rappers, as I like rap with a chill flow, like Logic, Chance, and some of the Wolfgang rappers, especially Tyler and Earl.

minorian (10/08/2015) [-] Yeah, but it's all a matter of what you like and what you can relate to. I can relate to being on the streets to fend for yourself and coming from a ****** background, but I can't relate to gangbanging and **** like that. That is probably why I prefer rap that tackles issues in society and that talks about the little man, compared to rapping about gangs and organized crime. Also, I have way too little confidence, and experience, in my ladies-game to appreciate those kind of sex-lyrics.

Hopsin is a joke when it comes to lyricism, he is nowhere near Kendrick Lamar or Earl Sweatshirt. I enjoy a lot of trap music, what Hopsin is portraying here is **** like Young Thug and Future, although both of those artists are currently making bank off of garbage they are (sort of) smart business men. Taking advantage of their position and continue to milk the industry for ridiculous profits whilst literally doing nothing.
You want real hiphop, listen to Mick Jenkins, Joey Bada$$, Mac Miller, Ab-Soul or even Jay Rock.

minorian (10/08/2015) [-] HOPSIN is so overrated. He's a decent rapper with cool lyrics, but he isn't even anything special. I used to praise the guy, but then he said he was gonna quit rapping, and then it turns out it was a "joke" aka. he wanted publicity, which was when he became just another rapper for me.
Chance the Rapper is my favorite chill rapper, Ice Cube is my favorite hardcore rapper and Watsky is my favorite... well... PG-friendly rapper that's still a real mofo.
What I am basically getting at is that he is a cool ***** with lyrics that are anti-drugs and *********** mentality, but there's tonnes of those guys out there. I no longer feel like he is real, if you know what I'm saying.

I still listen to him quite often but I've lost of bit of the respect I had for him I guess.

Especially the point made about lyrics - people tend to hate on "hiphip only being about bitches and money" while it´s actually rap that has the most incredibly lyricists out there nowadays.

nsfwanon (10/08/2015) [-] Have you heard Reel Wolf - The Underworld?
Most of them on there kill it, but I love Celph for one line;
"The manifestation of evil stays alive and breathin', I'm Satan's fitness trainer exorcising demons"
I laugh every time I hear it but it's the delivery that makes it awesome; if you haven't seen it then I definitely recommend it!

bronynexgen (10/08/2015) [-] Like the guy below you, check out CYNE and Nujabes if you like chill music as well.
Here's something great by Nujabes. Beat by Nujabes usually, rapped by Shing02.
Nujabes made the soundtrack to Samurai Champloo.

vorarephilia (10/07/2015) [-] Still prefer my metal and electronic music, but I am sure if I spent time digging on youtube I would find a rapper that i'd enjoy listening to on a frequent basis.

ljxjlos (10/08/2015) [-] Ill Bill and Necro (THE "Metal Rappers") - Ill Bill is better, Necro is more famous. They tend to rap over metal beats (White ****** or A Bullet never lies) sometimes have Metal Singers in their songs (War is my Destiny features Sepultura for example and there often are Metal or Hardcore-remixes of their Stuff (Terror-Remix for Heavy Metal Kings is incredible)
Astroid Boys - they basically make a mix out of...rap, hardcore, metal, electro and beatdown. Mostly play on Hardcore Shows, Tours and Festivals and have the same energy as bands from those genres, when on stage.
Both are pretty damn fantastic.

anon (10/08/2015) [-]
It is where it started in the sense that lyrics were by far the most crucial part, but back then that meant finding a creative way to brag about yourself and expres why you earn respect. This is still better then not having to be creative at all But instead just have a dope beat. But "nowadays" a lot of rappers find creative ways to expres deeper feelings. I like to put it this way: the very instant you vocalize a poem in rhythm,it becomes rap. If you like poetry you can't not like rap unless you hate rhythm

dudemiesterman (10/08/2015) [-] My thoughts exactly. Tech, Hopsin, Eminem, and anybody on their labels are actually good rappers.

rebornpotato (10/08/2015) [-] As a white guy who likes rap i disagree, I'll admit i think eminem is great, people just hate on him for how famous he is like the annoying hipsters they are, And i do have to say i enjoy a lot of hopsin's songs, the other rappers i think aren't that great at all.

magicbrownies (10/08/2015) [-] Hi. Big rap fan and black.
Eminem goes hard, but his fan base is so cancerous it ruins eminem for everyone lately.
Macklemore is trash. No good thoughts he's just trash.
Tech n9ne is probably my favorite rapper in terms of lyrics, structure, and pretty much everything including how he treats his fanbase. (Dude loves his fans and believes in his artist)
Hopsin. Eeeeh. Hopsin is a good rapper. I'll give him that. But he's such a God damn ******* I can't even listen to him anymore. All he does is beat up on other rappers, got famous off of dissing, and just makes him annoying to listen to. "I hate horrorcore rappers but hey look who I found! SwizZz and jarred benton! (Jarren is actually a really good Mc and rapper though)" overall Hopsins personality ***** him over to his fans that aren't sworn by blood to him.
Also, obligatory Le under ground hip hop fan MF doom praise.

angelious (10/08/2015) [-] he also has a lot of fake ass intelligent **** and cringy ass ******** that he spews on his songs...
i am also somewhat annoyed by his "rap is dead and im bringing it back" attitude he sells in just about everyone of his videos..
his songs also lack the umph they need to be awesome, but yea. he has clear rapping voice,his rhymes are good. and he makes pretty decent songs.

angelious (10/08/2015) [-] idk his personality neither, i have heard that he isnt particulary bright, and that he is rather condescending and arrogant.
outside of that, his songs have such gems like "humans are stupid and i hate them" or "obama was bred in a test tube" and other such stupid ass ******** thats really cringy to listen to...

angelious (10/08/2015) [-] there are varying levels of cringe mate. this definedly fills my quota for cringe.
the lyrics are both edgy and arrogant.
oh also, i did say i was going to find the obama test tube one(which i could have sworn was this one..but i guess i was wrong..) but cba to actually listen hopsin atm.... so ill come back to you if i ever get around to doing it..

ninjaspartan (10/08/2015) [-] Edgy, yes. Arrogant? Mmm. I don't think that's what's being portrayed. Especially when I can actually relate to a few of the verses (makes me cringy af too, I know). Can't stand the chorus of course, he says "I hate humans" one to many times, but otherwise it's fairly relatable.
#342 to #341
-
angelious (10/08/2015) [-] the way the lyrics are constructed so that it places the singer as someone who has understood something great about humanity and how he is(despite being a human) better than the rest of humanity.as for relateability...i dont really think of it as such..but i can see where you are coming from

onceman ONLINE (10/08/2015) [-] Hopsin has nice bars, wordplay, lyricism, and flow but he doesn't believe in fun. He got famous off dissing other rappers which is weak as **** and he pretty much belive if your lyrics aren't conscious you're **** . He drops some cringy ass lines occasionally and overall he's a pretty cringey rapper, if you **** with him hard as **** chances are you're not as open minded and wise as you'd like to think you are. Furthermore, he's not that smart, in an interview he didn't even know what 12-inch is and had a confused demanor when the interviewer asked him about **** rappers like Lil Wayne, Juicy J, and Waka Flocka Flame knew extensively when being interviewed by the same guy (nardwar).All in all, Hopsin's bascially a massive hater.

thatguycrow (10/08/2015) [-] >Implying drake as actually that bad
>Forgetting drake's 2 recent meek mill disses
Yeah, dissing is usually a part of rap, but when it's 90% of what you do it gets boring real quick.

anon (10/08/2015) [-] How does knowing what an object is/is called the measure of your intelligence?
Knowledge or Education are the words you are looking for.
Just because you are in a field for something doesnt mean that you know the ins and outs of everything even more so when it another name for something. If the interviewer asked him about vinyl records he could have answered it but he asked another word for it.
Your scaling is **** , and your opinion is **** if thats what your grading scale is.
