I'm creating this thread since this is a newer rap artist (as far as I know) Who actually has something creative and meaningful to say and I felt it should be shared.




The lyrics are NOT SFW, however there is a very good message in it. Searching youtube has shown he has a lot of other music out there.

Listen to it and share what you think... Personally I haven't been able to listen to anything else for the last few hours. Anything out there that's similar?

EDIT: I really reccommend listening to Hopsin - Ill Mind Of Hopsin 4 but I won't link it because it's a bit more vulgar. I think it's my favorite.
His wiki : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hopsin
Why?

Saw this linked on reddit, but hadn't checked it out yet. When I saw someone else posted it here I figured it was probably worth paying attention to. Thank god I did.

Great to hear rappers making a point. He's certainly not the first to make some of these points, but he's definitely one of the more direct in how he does it.

Expert production, brilliant lyrics, great flow... and a brain. This guy has it all.

I couldn't agree with you more. You should really check out his other stuff.
Why?

Yeah it's really cool. He's not really new though, he has a couple of records. This track is really good though, I love it, and I hardly listen to any rap.

If you or anyone else enjoys Hopsin, you should take a look at his lyrical ancestor, Immortal Technique ^^

and then check out Eyedea who annihilated him freestyle....

that guy actually has some skills, i won't be listening to him, but he's 100x better than emninem/wayne/khalifa/etc.

my two favorites....

It's like he said everything that has been on my brain but transformed it into beautifully done word play. I really hope he gets big and this song circulates more. This is Hip Hop.

Wasn't going to watch it, but glad I did. Extremely refreshing; hope it gets the attention it should. I don't even like rap but I'll like that shit on Facebook.

Nope, not with techn9ne. They were in talks, but he decided to go it alone. He's still good friends with tech though.

This track is just like every other track dissing the entirety of rap culture over the past twenty years. Nothing new.
I was expecting an actual message similar to ATCQ or De La Soul.

I'm sorry? Telling the mass of retards to smarten the fuck up and contribute to society is a pretty good message to me.
