Hopsin clearly doesn’t care about making friends in the rap scene, even going so far as to say, “Not tryin’ to be your buddy in this rap ***, I like dissin’. Perhaps his most famous song is “Sag My Pants”, where he takes aim at several mainstream artists including Lil’ Wayne, Rick Ross, Lupe Fiasco, Soulja Boy and Drake. Hopsin does 95% of the work himself, showcasing his voice in more ways than just rapping. The album itself is an excellent blend of angry, bitter verses with melodic choruses. It’s quite obvious that Hopsin is tired of seeing artists he deems “undeserving” achieve worldwide prosperity. Though his lyrical content is fairly disturbing, Hopsin has actually spoken out against the positive portrayal of careless alcohol and drug abuse given by more famous rappers. He’s as aggressive a rapper as I’ve heard in years, utilizing elements of horrorcore to go along with his constant disrespect of the American government and mainstream hip-hop artists. While it’s true that Raw contains many similarities to Eminem’s earlier works, Hopsin’s talents as an emcee and a producer shine through the comparisons. His style wasn’t seen as mainstream enough for real world success, getting him cut from his original record label and forcing him to create his own. Hopson, who goes by the stage name Hopsin, released Raw last year to little commercial recognition. Many of them, such as Marcus Hopson, are stuck in the underground scene with little to no attention paid to their talents. His style has been examined to no end and countless rappers have tried time and time again to cash in using the same methods, though none of them have been particularly successful. Mathers rode the “bad-boy” image (along with the fact that he was white) to unparalleled heights, breaking all sorts of records on his way to being arguably the most recognized hip-hop artist of all time. If you weren’t blasting The Marshall Mathers LP through a boombox while your parents were out of the house, you were a nobody. Under the stage name Eminem, Mathers wrote some of the most offensive music ever revealed to mainstream audiences – and the kids ate it up. Just don't judge him by the white contacts.įor people growing up in the late 1990s, Marshall Mathers was the ultimate way to disobey their parents. He also disses the widowed wife of Eazy-E, Tomica Wright, vowing that he'll 'make sure no one signs with Ruthless Records again.Review Summary: Hopsin delivers a genuinely bitter set of hip-hop tracks.
