Again, I never understand how Hopsin is seen as pretentious.
Dude goes out of his way to make music that is against the tide of the industry, and just for that he's corny? So he wouldn't be corny if he assimilated himself with the bullshyt that's running hip hop? Pretentious is when you're doing something you're not about to impress others, if you've listened to Hopsin from the start, you know exactly how he's been.
Going against the tide of industry? Woah there, that's some revolutionary shyt

The message is played out, overdone, and being rebranded as the new hipster youtube teenager's go-to-anthem of "real hip hop". A guy wearing a white beanie and clothing, with some corny little contact lenses, shooting wannabe Eminem videos in his house lecturing people about teenage pregnancy and irresponsibility? Dissect a Lupe verse, hip-hop ain't just about rhyming words. Why should I pay respects to Hopsin when MC's like Lupe are layering metaphor upon metaphor with historical facts they get from books and literary works, while this amateur Hopsin just observed from the corner deli he goes to every morning for his ham egg and cheese sandwich? And yes, he is pretentious, making songs reminiscent of an outdated 99 Shady flow, sagging his pants, horrorcore, boogers and watermelons is an uninteresting, pretentious gimmick. You wanna know why people act like this "Ill Mind of Hopsin" is super lyrical hot science? Its because they understand everything he's saying. You listen to a Lupe Fiasco song or Jay Electronica and how many listens does it take for every bar and word to not go over your head? This guy over here is talking about "Man I hate rap, but if the shoe fits, wear it/I became a freak of nature all the kids stare at"

kinda elementary school flow is that?
Don't be mad he's speaking the truth. Rather hear him spit that shyt than some dude telling people how awesome he is because he wears snapbacks and has tattoos. Two of the most trendy things in the world right now.
I'm tired of this necessity for rappers to start "speaking the truth", just give me something out of the box and I can enjoy it, I don't need to always hear about Lyor Cohen fukking over your house payments or how Al-Quada and the government is working together. That is strictly the kind of message which got Immortal Technique over, and we all know how horrendous he is. And stop, Hopsin's audience is now among teenagers and the blissful ignorant who've rocked to the same songs like Snapbacks & Tattoos, and are probably guilty of several things he mentioned in his little rap.
Yea, he's corny. Still - Hopsin can rap circles around pretty much anyone out right now.

No way. Name me one relevant legitimate artist that Hopsin can rhyme circles around. shyt, even B.o.B, Wiz Khalifa, and Mac Miller can all crush his Eminem/Tyler lovechild rhymes.
