It takes a special breed to enamour a crowd with a bizarre and eccentric style that takes listeners on a whirl into another world. LA-bred rapper, Hopsin, has been a bloody hip-hop spectacle ever since he dropped ‘Gazing at the Moonlight’ on Ruthless Records back in 2009. At that time, a young Hopsin was simply hoping and wishing for his dreams to come true, and now that he has expanded his vision and view, there is nothing but renewed energy and a brighter hue. Hopsin has built a reputation for brutally calling a spade a spade and covering the walls of every arena that he has played with a consciously outspoken layer of barefaced pain. It is evident in Hopsin’s disposition both on and off of the stage that he has traversed through miles and miles of brutal terrain to claim his fame and place himself at the level of success that he has achieved and is encountering today. Hopsin is a refreshing example of a young musician who feels creatively liberated and doesn’t give a rats ass if his lyrical talent is deemed as overrated. Hopsin’s tracks contain stirring sonic layers throughout that stand out and create thought-provoking imagery that is paving its way into history. Following a straight-edge lifestyle and making sure that he doesn’t judge another for their choices along the way, Hopsin draws listeners in with his magnetic energy and aura that creates a feeling within of euphoria. Although Hopsin has enough potent lines to share for days, here’s 15 of his most off-kilter and explicitly audacious rhymes.

Marketing hits, starving for chips
