'Sag My Pants' and 'Pillow Man' have lyrics taking shots at popular rappers like, Gucci Mane, and even. 'Kill Her', however, is the most notable example, a vicious song that absolutely rips into the late 's widow, and her record label Ruthless Records.
The 'Ill Mind of Hopsin 4' song also takes a jab at. He has clarified the jab at Lupe Fiasco was for claiming he could skateboard and does say he likes his music, at the very least. Lastly, the skit 'No Words' on Pound Syndrome is a clear and unambiguous shot at trap (specifically the heavily slurred and often nonsensical nature of the rapping; the Autotune usage in particular seems to be mocking Future), and the video is a clear shot at Lil Wayne. Ill Mind of Hopsin 5 is one for most and their fans.:. He gives one to the entire rap fanbase in 'Ill Mind of Hopsin 5'. 'Ill Mind of Hopsin 8' is a huge call-out of Dame Ritter over many of the issues behind the dissolution of Funk Volume.

Thank you, EM!' Hopsin, born Marcus Jamal Hopson, is a Los Angeles native. His signature look often incorporates white-colored eye contacts. He signed with Ruthless Records in 2007, but he later founded a record label, Funk Volume, in 2009.
By 2016, he started a second label, called Undercover Prodigy. Hopsin's released five studio albums to date, including Knock Madness and Gazing at the Moonlight. He's appeared on multiple Disney Channel shows, like That's So Raven and Lizzie McGuire, and movies, including Fame.Fans of Hopsin have often considered his rap style to be similar to Eminem's. Hopsin, however, has vocalized how Eminem has inspired his music before.
The Los Angeles-based rapper has even mentioned his interest in collaborating with the 'Lose Yourself' hitmaker.' He's in the place now that he's doing what he wants to do because he's literally the biggest f.ing rapper in the world,' Hopsin told REAL 92.3 in 2017. 'He has been the rawest rapper in the world.
Everything these MCs are trying to do he has done it. Touched all this people's hearts already.'
On Kamikaze, Slim Shady's track 'Fall,' which features Bon Iver frontman Justin Vernon, details how the rap scene is today. In doing so, he mentions several rappers alongside Hopsin, including Logic and J. Tekken 250. Cole, who are making music that's culturally relevant. He additionally suggested he's served as these rappers inspiration as well.' Put my feet up and just make myself at home.
I belong here, clown, don't tell me 'bout the culture,' Eminem rapped. 'I inspire the Hopsins, the Logics, the Coles, the Seans, the K-Dots, the 5'9's, and oh. Brought the world 50 Cent, you did squat, pissed and moaned. But I'm not gonna fall bitch!' Hopsin's written response on Facebook was accompanied by a video, where he is seemingly very excited by his discovery as he lets out a loud scream. 'I didn't even know he knew who the f. I was.
God damn,' Hopsin said. 'He said, 'Don't tell them about the culture.'
Implying that I'm part of the culture! I got to call my mom.' Kamikaze is Eminem's tenth studio album. It's a follow up to 2017's Revival, which was panned by both fans and critics alike. On Kamikaze, Eminem takes aim at President Donald Trump, Drake and the press, among others. 'Fall,' the track that mentioned Hopsin, was initially listed on streaming services as 'Kamikaze' by mistake.
