HOPSIN talks ILL MIND OF HOPSIN 5, GOD, EMINEM
Ойын-сауық
www.hardknock.tv Exclusive in-depth interview with Hopsin at his house. Part 1 starts with Hopsin talking to Nick Huff Barili about the making of Ill Mind of Hopsin 5 and why he choose to take a different path with his lyrics. Hopsin describes how one night he couldn't sleep so he went down to his studio and lyrics just came to him easier than ever before. Originally intended to be more like Ill Mind 4 in that he was just planning on wild 'n out, it was through a conversation with God that he decided to take a huge career risk and try something new on Ill Mind 5. Although he was worried that fans wouldn't connect with his new approach, Hopsin's faith was rewarded with over a million views within a day of releasing the music video for Ill Mind of Hopsin 5 (currently at over 12 Million). Part one of the interview ends with Hopsin talking about Eminem, whom he calls his favorite MC and says that it wasn't until Em came along that he started to care about Hip Hop. Hopsin states that if he is going to get compared to an MC he would rather it be Em who has an elaborate rhyming style that all the trending rappers right now with their simple flows that sound the same.
We are just getting started. Tune in next week for part 2 with Hopsin only at www.hardknock.tv

Ill mind 5 speaks to people thats why it's a great track. I listened to it while reflecting on my own life and I'm like "damn hop you know me". Keep it real
i prefer lyricism and flow, not just beats and wack flows. hop keep it up
Funny how he was always talking about his belief in God. Then....came Ill Mind 7.
I hope Hopsin does continue in the route hes going in becuase if nobody speaks about how the industry is brainwashing kids and how drugs do serious harm then who will? The reason i know about Hopsin today is because of Ill Mind 5 my freind showed me the video saying "look at this man, believe it or not a rapper that doesn't talk about bitches and drugs man".

Thing is he later writes a song about his faith in God but I think maybe he was going through life you know its weird to seeing this in 2020 because he went from having good faith and trusting in God to questioning the existence of God. He's always had a good message though in his songs but this one is the best one because we can almost kinda all relate to what he is saying 😂 man he still needs to get a track with em though sheesh
i stayed up to watch this video come out. loved it hopsin is #1 out right now. so fresh
I love looking at this interview and then looking at his latest album, it just shows the struggle of trying to be with God. How stuck people can be and how lost we can get.
Bring the old hop back!

I'm glad he made ILL MIND OF HOPSIN 5, cause it was the song that got me hooked into his songs. So happy to find a rapper who took the serious route and was legit with it
This cat got his head screwed on right.
Well at least he not hiding the fact that Eminem is the person that molded him. Problem is when you bite off somebody else's style (no need to sugar-coat), you can never say that you have a style of your own; you have your favorite rapper's style. So you basically are defined to a certain extent by that artist...

JJ Bones Ha love it when ppl who dont know what there talking about trys to make a point, JJ i agree MCExtra1 is a dud for that answer. Not trying to be a dick or disrespectful MC but that answer is silly, He said Em is his ( basically ) influence and if he sounds a little like him ( its not intentional ) its cuz he is his favorite rapper.. If u listen to hopsin at all u would know and see that yes u could tell em has influenced him BUT he is his own rapper, he is now a 2nd favorite rapper after em

Even Eminem took big bites from his influence's styles. Listen to Treach - Yoke The Joker, the first verse reflects Eminem's style like no other artist I've heard(Em talks about Treach several times in acceptance speeches and in the documentary he was in called 'The Art of Rap'), but no one thinks he's ripping off someone else's style(mostly because few young people today know who Treach is).

Well I loved Ill Mind of Hopsin 5... That's what made me fall in love with your music... First thing I heard from you and I can't wait for more...
Man, Hopsin inspires me so well like its insane sometimes I feel as if I'm going no where feel like shit as if I'm talentless then I watch a few hopsin interviews and look into his lyrics all the sudden I'm feeling success in myself it is really unlikely for this to happen but hopsin man if you see my comment I just wanna say thank you for putting a positive influence in your music like that. You and Eminem are my two inspirations right now I'm glad theirs people like you guys in the game now.
lol hop say em the best he want to learn from the best
#irony
I completely agree Ill Mind of Hopsin 5 def. caught my attention when I first heard it. I was like 'what? Who is this guy?' Then started listening to all of his other music and got hooked. But great meaning behind 5. Life can be tough, but be strong minded through it... You've got to have bad days in order to understand and appreciate what a good day is. Not 'numb' the bad days because you maybe afraid to face them. Great song Hopsin. 👍👍
I loved Ill Mind 5, Favorite Song by him so far!

jack the great Eminem is a rap legend, one of the top 5 of all time. He probably has the most vague vocabulary of any lyricist out there. but Hopsin is good and is the closest anyone ever got to sound and write like Em.
Hopsin your a great inspiration to me and every single fan you have never stops doing what you do best!
Keep doing what you do Hopsin. You are an amazing rapper!
Mr Hopsin, my son admires you, and at first I was confused by your songs, but the more I listened the more I appreciate your music. I have listened to several of your interviews, I can see why Christopher (OPENION) thinks so highly of you. I also took several days as well to listen to Eminem he is intelligent as well as so talented. I agree that the influence you have as well as Marshall has is important and should be taken seriously by all intertainers. Well I have said enough, Thanks for the good influence and candid interviews.
hopsin, I respect you and look forward to your music in the future. iLL mind of hopsin 5 really proved a point and it took the words right out of my mouth. keep it up man, another loyal fan added. don't let the money and bullshit get to your head.
I had that same TV in the background when I was in college.
The more I hear, the more I love. Hes man of GOD, and that smile.... .Much Love and Respect. CJM
rawest shit ive herd in a hot minit keep it up boy hayzee out
Dont stress your rhymes. I love them all and you're truly inspiring to me. You talk real, and more rappers need to do that.
Wow. Incredible. Resonating hard...
This guy is simply great ! An example of a human being, glowing with life.
So much respect. You are and amazing man.
I love it!!!!

He said what I been waiting to hear.
Lyrically the song I'll mind 5 is one of the most creative and amazing song I have heard. Cause if it's not relating to you then we all know somebody who it does relate too. It's a amazing song
the thing he said about "im so fly, plane" is sooooo true lol. "its going down, basement"
ill mind of hopsin 5 is my fav song! im so glad he made it the way he did! :D
I was smiling the whole time throughout this video :)
this some real ass shit man keep it up
The fact that you sound like Eminem is awesome because his style is so amazing and not easy to get so you and Eminem will always be one of my favorites Hopsin. Keep it up.
I like how much he hasn't changed but matured
Thank you Walter, this is exactly what I'm saying.
And that's after ill mind 7 that was just like - every word is what I think and battle all day
Real cool dude. I'd like to see Em and Hopsin collab
That fly plane line is going it my playbook
forr real i respect this man. he can rap and actually raps about something that makes since.
this song rules man. more like this Hopsin. seriously.
Hopsin, I'm glad u acknowledge real rap dawg. After watching this interview ur officially on my top 20 list of rappers. You do sound like eminem but thats why I'm ur newest fan, its cuz I miss what u bring to the hiphop scene, espicially still rocking baggy T's lol
hopsin And Eminem are my favorite rappers there awesome

He is sick! Keep it up Hopsin
Intelligent and insightful. I'll give his stuff a listen.

I would love to see Hopsin and Eminem making a song together that'll be dope as hell

Amazing
Great rapper, one of the best in the game right now to do it. Real down to earth person too.
Hopsin I Love Your Music Keep It Up Bro
That would be fking epic ! It's like passing on the throne
It's awesome how modest Hopsin is when being interviewed compared to his passion when he raps
Hopsin literally speaks out of my mind.
yee elevated consciousness yo
I was SO happy to see Ill Mind 5. You're the best rapper alive.
I love his natural eye colour
oh, I got ya. I thought you were referring to it like how people refer to music like it's disposable and "expires". Like "that's cool right now" but don't plan on listening to it for the rest of their lives...Cus any song I like, I listen to forever. It never gets "old"
Man, more people like him please :D
Your sooooo beeeeaaaaaasssst hopsin you make a top five list for me I think your even better than top five your one of the best rappers to me I wish I could meet you

Hopsin I love your music your one of a kind I feel like I can relate to a lot of your songs I use to be addicted to Crystal meth went to jail for a stolen car I'm been out for about 5 months now still have not gone back to dope have a job now and all my friends I use to have before I started doing meth are my friends again thanks for helping me get through it all thanks
