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!

"Killin My Soul" by Jarren Benton ft. Locksmith & Hopsin [Music Video]

"I don't know a nigga livin' in his right mind that could probably stop me/

Nigga shook like a young bitch in the room fucking Bill Cosby/

Mach 5 nigga, high speed in his face, watch his fucking eyes bleed/

Pull the plug from the life support and the IVs nigga try me/"

This is a dope track. It's from Jarren Benton's recently released project, "Slow Motion". I'm glad they called up Locksmith to get on this track because he fits in perfect. 3 heavy spitters over a dope beat, can't ask for much more. Check it.

"Ill Mind of Hopsin 7" by Hopsin [Music Video]

"In my mind, I make perfect sense/
If you aren't real then all my prayers aren't worth a cent/
That would mean that I could just make up what my purpose is/
And I could sit in church and just say "fuck" in the services/"

Hopsin maintained the usual summer ritual and dropped another installment of his Ill Mind series. At first listen, I wasn't even feeling that beat. But once the subject matter picked up I began to understand the track more and this track turned out dope. I really like the whole religion argument idea for a song, and even though I don't completely agree with his perspective, it's good to hear a popular artist with an original opinion on such a deep topic. Check it.

"I Need Help" by Hopsin

"Man I'm losing my mind, you all assume that I'm cool when I rhyme/

see I'm trying to be Marcus and Hopsin but I get depressed when the two intertwine/

Truthfully, I'm not the man that I used to be, nobody cares who I used to be.../

To talk to so I lose the heat, I'm cut bad and the bruise is deep/

Is there anything you can do for me?" 

 

This video was really well done, I was impressed. I loved every minute of Hopsin's Knock Madness and its great to have some new visuals when they actually deliver a crazy experience. That effect where he's going back and forth between being Hopsin and Marcus was crazy and the whole atmosphere of the video was intense. I realize from the content of Knock Madness that Hopsin may be a little confused by where his career has taken him but I been watchin this guy's videos since Sag My Pants and he has really come into his own and this video shows it off. Check it out.

"Cuz I'm Famous" by Travis Barker & Scoop Deville ft. Paul Wall, Hopsin, & Yelawolf

 

"Making a fortune, watching the whores come/
Fuck 'em raw then make 'em get abortions/
Here's a line of cocaine, you should snort some/
I'm the new rapper brainwashing your son/"

The music team over at Famous Stars and Straps have finally collaborated to make some dope music. This Travis Barker x Scoop Deville produced beat features Paul Wall, Hopsin and Yelawolf, all of which are sponsored by FSAS. Thus, the title of the song. Check it.

Knock Madness [Album Stream] by Hopsin

The wait is finally over. Yesterday a bunch of people who had pre-ordered this album received it in the mail. Which means I've been hunting for a high quality leak ever since. And I finally found it. There's a lot of new vibes that I'm not used to hearing from Hopsin, which at first makes this album sound a little weird, but it's also refreshing. I think this album's pretty dope. I'ma give you the link but if you like this album, support the artist and purchase it!

"Rip Your Heart Out" by Hopsin ft. Tech N9ne

"(Fatality) Bitches I am rap, every verse is fire/

I lay my shit down like fertilizer/

A murderous word supplier, murking you is my first desire/

If you got a problem with me you can suck on my dick till it squirts saliva"

 

OHHHH SHITTTT. I was not expecting this but it's awesome. At first I thought the beat was a little weird for Hopsin but after I heard him bringing that flow I took back my doubts. Obviously Tech comes in and kills it with his own flow but I gotta give my preference to Hopsin this time. He was just bringing a lot of intensity with sick lyrics. Check it out!

"Serial Killers Vol. 1" by Xzibit, B-Real & Demrick [Mixtape Stream]

Happy Halloween! If you can't already feel the eery mood in the air, Xzibit, B-Real & Demrick are here to supply it. The collaboration of the 3 emcees forms the group Serial Killers, and this self-titled project is their first. It features some joints produced by ILL BILL, C-Lance, Green Lantern, Statik Selektah, and features verses from Jon Connor, Hopsin, Kurupt & a couple others. Check it.

"Hop is Back" by Hopsin [Music Video]

"Don't think you raw just cuz you got success/
I'll uppercut you're ass so many times you'll look like you was nodding yes/
I'm the only child that my mom regrets, probly best/
That you don't buy my album, save your money yo, do not invest/"

It's finally here. An official music video to boost the hype before Hopsin releases Knock Madness on November 26. The video quality's pretty sick for this, and you can tell a lot of effort went into it. I dunno if I like the chorus, it sounds too much like that Funk Volume 2013 track, but whatever. He takes shots at some popular artists as well and impersonated one of em pretty good. Classic Hopsin. Check it.

"Ill Mind of Hopsin 6" by Hopsin

"And it's pitiful, where the fuck they at now?/
In they mid-twenties, passed out inside of a crack house/
Back when you met 'em I had doubts, they put you on a bad route/
And when you needed their help to pick you up they fuckin backed out!/"

 

Today Hopsin released his 6th installment of the "Ill Mind of Hopsin" series. And with each installment, his subject matter gets more and more serious. This one is strictly one topic, no disses, just straight up life experiences spoken from the heart. It seems like a continuation of his track from Gazing At The Moonlight, "Chris Dolmeth", but this one's a lil more serious than the last. The video's clean as fuck, production is tight, and the lyrics and delivery are crazy of course. This shit's deep son! Check it.

"Stabbed" by Brotha Lynch Hung ft. Tech N9ne & Hopsin

 

"I swear to God I'm hopin' to leave a niggas rib cracked/
How the fuck they find out where I live at?/
Motherfuckers all up in my business every minute
When I be chillin with women they be comin up tryin ta chit chat, get back!/"

I debated putting this song on here for a bit cuz Brotha Lynch always kinda oversteps certain boundaries. But then I said screw that this song bangs hard as hell and has 3 crazy emcees on it. I'm especially keen on hearing Hopsin pop up in a track again bringing the evil flow. Tech was pretty funny but his voice sounds bad ass. Brotha Lynch is killin it on the flow these days too and I really liked the feel of how this beat worked with all 3 emcees. The instrumental is awesome, the drums are so clear and the strings shooting back and forth in a sporatic way make you feel like you're going insane. Its sick.

"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.

"Left Me Hanging" by Hopsin [Unreleased]

"How come it's always about bitches, and talkin' about riches?/

and walkin' it out, This is me chalkin' em out, witness/

Provocative sound, disses I'm tossin' around, mission/

Is knockin' em down, this shit is causin' a drought/"

Tonight, Hopsin and the Funk Volume team are gonna be in Toronto as part of the Funk Volume 2012 tour. I wasn't disappointed about not going until I realized that it was happening tonight, and one of my friends is attending the sold out show. Anyways, I found this unreleased track by Hopsin which I thought was really sick. The vibe of the beat is different for him but he managed to kill it, and add a sick chorus at the end. I wish he woulda finished the whole thing because it seems like it would have quickly turned into a new favourite of mine. Since I ain't gonna be in T Dot tonight, Imma have to put this on my iPod and jam to it at work from 3-11:30. Lame, I know.

"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!

"Ill Mind of Hopsin 5" by Hopsin

"Your lazy ass don't commit to labour/

You pick something up, try it out, put it down two minutes later/

Then you complain about your life cuz it ain't gettin' catered/

Now whoever tries to call you on your bullshit's a hater?/"

Ever since Hopsin announced this video was being released on July 18, we've been patiently waiting to hear what the crazy emcee was about to present. After two very stupid teaser trailers, the video has finally dropped. In this video, Hopsin appears somewhat as an angel, dressed in all white, watching a few people lazing around drinking and smoking. Then gets up and speaks individually to each person and bitches at them about how stupid they are for wasting their lives away. I'd like to say some of the shit he said didn't sound like me, but a few lines made me re-evaluate how I act upon accomplishing my goals. Hopsin outlines a lot of  shit that's wrong with a huge chunk of society's population, and spits a huge verse of some very real shit. But I feel like I've explained enough, so it's time for you to journey into the Ill Mind of Hopsin.
