Hopsin discussing the Eminem comparison in depth

[RoleModel'Est96]

First Nas and Eminem, then anything else can happen. I am a Hop fan though, so I'd obviously be excited for a track with them two, but Hopsin kinda needs to get in line.

Agreed

I find it ironic when ONE rapper has accomplished to sound similar to Eminem and suddenly, it's a big deal.

Drake, Lil Wayne, and pretty much the entire Young Money crew sounds the same.

Listen to this song by Tyga:

and then listen to this song by Bow Wow:

Big Sean and 'Ye can also sound very similar at times.
The entire slaughterhouse team sounds lyrically similar.

IMO, the only mainstream rapper right now with his own style might be Kendrick Lamar.

So he talks to God...in his head. Hopsin is great but wut.

Yeah, that kind of thing makes me lose respect for him. It's just a ridiculous thing to say.

Hopefully his God-bothering doesn't transfer to his music. I don't really care if he gets his inspiration from the make-believe as long as the result is good music.

Such a stupid thing to say.

If I told people I spoke to an alien in my head I would be detained in a psychiatric hospital. I don't see the difference. But it doesn't really matter because he hasn't as yet started rapping about the bible.

It won't bother me if there are references here and there, but if he starts preaching in his music it'll sound ridiculous.

[cityfan31]

I talk to God in my head....does that make me stupid?

Not stupid, no.

I would say deluded, without meaning to be rude or unkind, but you did ask.

Only my opinion on the matter, too.

[Tash8]

How do we know if god exists
How do we know it's positive

[JamaicanPattlez]

Not to start a religious debate, but I think some people have this perception that when they talk to themselves, their mind talking back to them (conscience, gut feeling, etc.) is "God."

I don't care much as long as he doesn't start saying "Go worship God" in his music or something.

Supposedly on the Funk Volume Forums, he had made a comment post somewhere that said "You're not a Funk Volume fan if you don't believe in God." Not sure how legitimate that was, but it has me wondering... does he feel that way? He's also said somewhere that Knock Madness isn't gonna be filled with preach music, so it's no biggie.

The thing is, what if I don't believe in the Christian God, but the God that my religion believes in? Would he mean I'm not a Funk Volume fan then too?
Because if that's the case, fuck being a FV fan then.

I don't think that's the case, I would hope not. That would alienate a huge amount of people.

[JamaicanPattlez]

I just hope he stays "RAW". I know he wants to evolve as a musician, but I don't want him going "soft" and start alienating loyal fans from the beginning. I don't care about anyone's religion, but I hope he doesn't make it the focus of his music. I sound like I'm repeating myself but what JP said about the FV forums is true... that worries me.

I know what you mean by "RAW" and I hope he does too. But if Hopsin really truly without a doubt said that, then oh jeez...

@JP Yeah, I know. I'm just saying, people would already feel alienated from that, they could easily interpret it in the wrong way.

Definitely. I believe in the Christian God and even I felt iffy at that, lol.

[JamaicanPattlez]

Meh...who is even a FV fan? I like Hopsin and I like how far he's gotten with his own label, but that's about it.

I like Hopsin and Dizzy. SwizZz at times, but he doesn't put out anything except for fan-requested tracks. I wonder what he's doing most of the time... Jarren Benton I'm gonna reserve my full opinion for when his debut drops. He's been working with WillPower, so who knows?

True, I don't think I like anything from FV except Hopsin and Dizzy.

Here's something I wonder... does Dizzy have a better work-ethic than Hop? Cause Dizzy had an album, then a mixtape, and apparently he was thinking of putting something out at the end of the year.

[JamaicanPattlez]

Dunno, maybe Hop took a completely new path with KM...started from scratch, nahmean?

Quite possibly. Oh, I found the picture of Hop's comment!

Yeah... I don't even know what to say... I don't think I'd ever say this..
