Hopsin - Fort Collins ft. Dizzy Wright (Official Video)

Man, my options for pussy are unrealistic
There's bitches who'd give up a lung for this dick
My music be leaving 'em sprung and twisted
The average nigga would have fun with this shit

Hopsin released a video yesterday for another one of his Pound Syndrome tracks. Fort Collins revisits both Hopsin and Dizzy Wright's memory of one of their 2014 concerts. Check it!

Horseshoe Gang - "Same Day" (Funk Volume Diss) Prod. by Tabu

"Horseshoe is hella dope, nigga ask Jarren/

We rapin' you little kids nigga, ask Jared/

I'ma call you niggas Kylie Jenner's dad/

Cuz y'all lookin like a bitch now, and you transparent/"

Horseshoe Gang stays quick to pull the trigger, immediately responding to Funk Volume's "Free Meal" diss. The way I see it, Funk Volume's gonna have to pull a rabbit out of a fuckin hat if they respond lol. Horseshoe Gang seems to be impregnable. Check this shit!

Funk Volume – Free Meal (Horseshoe Gang Diss)

"My girl's 'gram has more likes than yours does/
How does it feel to have never been on a tour bus/
It's probly similar to alcohol on a sore cut/
You niggas suck, in other words niggas, you're fucked/"

Funk Volume stands true to their bold statement (aside from the $500,000, so far), and made a response to Horseshoe Gang's diss track to them. This shit is gettin heated lol I love it. Check it!

"State of Mind" by Dizzy Wright [Music Video]

"Dizzy gets down, nigga this is his town/

When you learn how much you worth you'll stop givin' out discounts/

Gotta quiet all of these critics, the most devoted in my division/

They do it for the mentions, but I'll never trade respect for attention/"

One week before him and Jarren Benton head out on an 11-day tour, Dizzy Wright just dropped a video from the title track of his State of Mind EP. The video's a little different but it's still pretty dope and the song's what you'd expect from him. Check it.

"Reunite for the Night" by Dizzy Wright [Music Video]

"Ain't nobody sittin on they own, 

niggas singin' songs playin' beer pong/
It's ok that we can't always do the right thing, 

cuz I heard a little laughin' make you live long/"

Dizzy Wright recently dropped a new visual for a song from his State of Mind EP. "Reunite for the Night" is one of those feel good tracks that makes you wanna get a buzz on (for me at least). So this one goes out to all my Monday night party people! Check it.

"State of Mind" by Dizzy Wright

"Ignore the hate, you niggas ain't qualified to even be occupied/
Don't fake the funk, we blaze a blunt, we never compromise/
Focus... I'm bringing this funky shit in doses/
With an ashtray fulla roaches, rippin that real shit with emotion/"

Dizzy Wright just released his new EP, "State of Mind" yesterday. I haven't listened to all of it yet, but the 2 tracks I heard sound pretty dope. This one's the title track for the EP and includes some pretty dope lines. Dizzy Wright is definitely a visionary. You can stream this project for free on FV's YouTube channel, or purchase it on iTunes. Check it.

"The Perspective" by Dizzy Wright ft. Chel'le [Music Video]

"She all alone, she don't even wanna comprehend/
Y'all niggas too opposite, y'all niggas too fraudulent/
Now she in her thoughts, lost soul and she can be bought, and now the niggas wanna follow them?/
A little lost, with a shame, can't talk with a man so they struggle not to bottle it in/"

A song about Instagram. It's actually pretty deep, but hearing the chorus makes it a little hard to take it as serious as the song is. For me at least, but that's cuz I'm not heavy on the social media outlets unless it pertains to my music or this blog. Either way, here's a video for a dope cut from The Golden Age.

"No Writer's Block, I Like To Rap" by Dizzy Wright

"23, with a daughter goin' on three/
I think like, in eighteen years what will she be?/
Since day one I've been official/
But if I don't use my voice to benefit my baby girl, then this ain't beneficial/"

 

Don't hate. If you had 300,000 likes on Facebook, you'd title your track how Dizzy Wright did. Dizzy dropped this track in celebration of the social networking accolade. It's gotta sick beat and Dizzy kept a good mixture of wise lyrics, flow and rhymes in there. Check it!

"We Turned Out Alright" by Dizzy Wright ft. Wyclef Jean [Music Video]

"One method, I wake and bake before breakfast/
So hectic, the media be so reckless/
Try to bring the peace and leave the drama where you left it/
Say you keep it real, then why stress it?/"

Some new visuals from a Golden Age track, featuring and produced by Wyclef Jean. It's gotta cool vibe to it and the verses were pretty sick. Check out Dizzy Wright's latest mixtape, "The Golden Age".

"World Peace" by Dizzy Wright [Music Video]

"Agree to disagree/
Judge me cuz I'd rather have them legalize a plant than feed the people nicotine/
Sell the devil's juice and they gon' support it by any means/
On they TV screens, nigga please/
I represent world peace/"

Recently shared this song, and Dizzy Wright ended up droppin' some visuals for it the other day. This is one of my favourites from "The Golden Age". The video gave life to the feel-good vibe of the song. Check it.

"World Peace" by Dizzy Wright

"Man we all started from the bottom, started with a problem/
Before I was ever crawlin', I was born into my miseries/
Came out with my hidden talents, now the rest is history/
Ridin', but if you ain't providin', that don't mean shit to me/"

Dizzy Wright has a new mixtape coming up on the 19th of August, entitled "The Golden Age". He released this track from the upcoming project today and I was feelin' it. Look out for The Golden Age at http://www.myfunkvolume.com

"The Flavor" by Dizzy Wright ft. SwizZz

"They say I'm outta line, but you niggas is not around/
How you scoring points when you standing out of bounds?/
In other words, how you getting money and you ain't keepin' it real
with no skills, playing the field like you not a clown?/"

New Funk Volume shit. This one's a pretty sick one. I was really feelin' Dizzy Wright's verse in this track, and that beat is crazy. Some dope video skills as well.

"Verbalizing" by Dizzy Wright

"They say life is a game, hope you can play it well/
If I ever get unhappy, I'ma pull a Dave Chapelle/
Money ain't enough to make it well/
If I cant face myself/ Keep it one hundred/
Runnin' from who you becoming/"

After dropping "Funk Volume 2013", a lot of people are curious as to what the independant label may be working on. I sure am. Not so much Jarren Benton. But Hopsin's always crazy, and SwizZz and Dizzy Wright have potential to drop some cool tracks every now and then. This track by Dizzy Wright is kinda cool, outlining his thoughts on a career built on verbalizing. This track makes it seem like he's reached a comfortable spot in his career, and realizes the stress involved with choosing his next steps. That's just how I perceived it at least. Check it.

"Funk Volume 2013" by SwizZz, Dizzy Wright, Jarren Benton, Hopsin & DJ Hoppa

"Man I ain't just another rapper on the list mackin on the chicks/
Doing big collabs every track to own a hit/
I'm the captain of the ship, plus I'm back up on my shit/
Take a note of it and stick it to a magnet on your fridge/"
 

Maaan. This is so sick. It's been a while since we've heard anything from the originators of FV, Hopsin and SwizZz. But SwizZz starts the story of this video off by wrecking the first verse. I'm usually not a big fan of him, but this verse was pretty sick. The beat and the idea for the video are also really dope. It's cool seeing all four of em work together on a banger, especially forming a product of this calibre. Aside from Jarren Benton, they all impressed the fuck outta me. FV 2013 muhfuckas!

TeamBackPack Funk Volume Cypher 3 by Funk Volume

"See I no longer have a life, just a nasty apetite/

Search up on the graphic sites, lookin up hermaphrodites/

Filthy when I grab the mic, look at all this madness I/

Bring to these other emcees yea it's a tragic sight/"

 

So I don't necessarily follow the activities of most of Funk Volume but I always keep up on what Hopsin is doing. I won't say anything negative about Funk Volume but SwizZz, Dizzy and Benton aren't my particular taste but they all do a pretty sick job of killin it in this. I'm glad to hear Hopsin still bringin the fire since the only things we've heard since RAW is Hop Madness and Ill Mind of Hopsin 5 both of which are on this blog. But hearing his consistency in each product gives me hope for Knock Madness if he ever finishes that shit.

"Independent Living" by Dizzy Wright ft. SwizZz & Hopsin

"For really my niggy, they sayin' that Dizzy that nigga be goin' too hard/
But it's fuckin' a lie, it's fuck yo life, nigga, they will take yo art/
Uh, Can't do it if I'm not the man/
Sign me up and then lock me in, lot to learn but nigga I got the fans/"

With the FV 2012 tour in full effect, I haven't been hearing much from the Funk Volume team lately. But today, Dizzy Wright dropped the video for this collaboration with his label mates, "Independent Living". This track is from Dizzy's free SmokeOut Conversations mixtape, and it's fuckin' sick. The beat goes hard, and they all spit some sick verses. I didn't like SwizZz's verse much, but I didn't expect to. The video had really cool effects, and was different from the typical visual. Check it!

"Bounce [Funk Remix]" by Chris Webby ft. SwizZz & Dizzy Wright

"Who am I? They know me as C W/

Hole in my rubber, you about to see me comin' through/

Chris Rios, always runnin' with a Pun or two/

Ask the Birdman, I'm the number one stunna dude!/"

Never heard of this dude Chris Webby, but I was impressed at his flow and rhyming skills. He invited the two Funk Volume members that wouldn't absolutely murder him on his own shit to join him on this remix to his track, "Bounce". It's got a really catchy beat that actually makes you wanna do what the title says. I was surprised at SwizZz's verse the most, and now I'm wondering why he doesn't just rap this sick on his own tracks as much. Anyways, I've blogged a shitload this morning and I'm kinda losing my descriptive ability for the day so I'll shut up and let y'all listen! Open ya Earz!

"Loyalty" & "Low Dough" by SwizZz

Too many friends turned enemies/

Over bullshit like jealousy, females and infidelity/

Can make you lose focus fast/

 And you're only gonna notice when you're lonely on your ass/

So we at Eternal Cadence are big fans of Funk Volume and their movement, although we do believe they have a weak link. The only one we have yet to do a post about is SwizZz. Now it’s songs like this that show me SwizZz actually knows how to rap sick and make a quality song. These songs have made me realize my beef with SwizZz isn’t his talent, it’s his business decisions.

See I left school and chose to rap/

 Now I'm broke as fuck without a deal asking my dad for gas-/

 -Money and a twenty to eat, feel like a bum on his knees/

 Gettin' excited for a crumb in the street, WHAT THE FUCK!

Keep in mind this is just my opinion but a lot of the tracks SwizZz features as hits or music videos are sorta weak. It’s a lot of non-stop goofy punch lines remixing a  mainstream beat and the only thing I end up entertained by is that he dances in public places. But then I hear tracks like these with Funk Volume beats and think “SwizZz why aren’t you making these kinda songs?” I wanted people to be able to see SwizZz can be pretty sick and a valuable part of Funk Volume. However, don’t be surprised if he doesn’t turn up on this blog again anytime soon. 

"Can't Trust Em" by Dizzy Wright

"Hold up did a nigga just swag like that?/

Hat to the back, Gucci backpack, spittin' crack on you little niggas, spittin' facts like that/

Comin' out the Veg with a rap like that (he cold!), he cold nigga that's a fact/

Tryin' to get me a platinum plaque, kill this shit A$AP the track hoe/"

This video was released a little while ago bruh, and I forgot about it but I thought it’d be cool for the blog. This video is actually pretty hilarious bruh. Besides the obvious humour in the video, the beat is banging and Dizzy Wright kills it. Funk Volume’s on fire this year with their hot music but I love these goofy videos they make to be funny. Check it out bruh. “You can’t trust these niggas man!"

Hop Madness by Hopsin

Helllllll yea! I've been waiting for this for a while now! Finally, the first single off of Hopsin's upcoming, "Knock Madness" has been released! It definitely wasn't what I was expecting, but it's fucking dope. The idea for the video is cool and the idea for the Hop Madness theme park ride is hillarious. There's also a scene that sorta takes a shot at The Game. Hopsin is seen mocking Game's image in the Martians Vs. Goblins music video. I know there was some controversy regarding similarities between the videos for Martians Vs. Goblins and Hopsin's "Lucifer Effect". I just remember reading comments on Hip Hop websites of people who thought that the video by Game and Tyler was a way of gaining revenge for Hopsin's antics in the Ill Mind of Hopsin 4 video. I honestly don't think that The Game's video was directed at Hopsin. But who knows, maybe the video was meant to stir up some shit, or maybe Hopsin just saw it as an artist with a stronger following trying to adopt his contact idea. This could be interesting though because both Hopsin and The Game are known for speakin' the names of other artists. Could this be the rebirth of good, old-fashioned hip-hop beef? What do you think? 

Open ya Earz!
