Hop is a legend, his albums are time stamps for my middle and high school years. Will be a supporter for life without a doubt. 🔥🙏🏻

I wish they actually let him talk, it sounds like he has so much to share. Hopsin is one of the only few rappers I respect simply because of his authenticity and the persona he puts out there. He's thoughtful with everything he says while also being "ruthless". The contrast is beautiful. He's very smart, I wish he was more noticed since he seems to be hiself regardless. He is such a big inspiration to me.

I'm going through this phase where I watch all these Hopsin interviews lately. Very unique character

This is awesome because I always wondered what Diz thought of Hop and what Hop thought of Diz. Seeing as they are both extreme lyricist. As for Lush…his knowledge on music is just vast to a point where i always wondered what he thought of a lyricist like Hop. All 3 of these guys are all cut from the same cloth. Its amazing seeing these 3 in one room chopping it up. I never thought id see it. This is 🔥 af!!

Hopsin is the Ninja of RAP. He only comes out when is time to kill it.

hopsin is one of the few celebrities i respect as a person.

This podcast was very needed. Glad to know more about hopsins childhood up to his up bringing. We need more of this

Man, Hop's music got me through some of my darkest times. Getting to meet him in Melbourne and get a photo with him is something i will treasure forever. I remember saying to him @ the meet n greet "i don't want to take too much of your time but thanks for doing this" and he said back so humble "Man you paid for this shit take as long as you want" and then he asked me questions. If you read this Hop, hope your well man.

Funk Volume was insane at its peak

hopsin was the first rapper i saw live, such a legend

The story Hopsin was telling about when he reignited the beef with Crooked I had me crying 😭😭. "I'm not from where their from" and "I know they got them LA hands" Also shows how much of a real dude Hopsin is cuz he didn't try and act all hard like basically every single rapper, he kept it real that it had him shook.

37:09 "he's turned into Steven King" LMAOOOO The idea of that is HILARIOUS 😂😂😂

it’s so trippy hearing them talking about Ventura. didn’t know these all 3 of these dudes grew up in LA area. all 3 are Legends

You got Hopsin on the pod? Now you got my attention.

Hopsin is such a cool dude

WHY TF DID THIS NOT GET ANY HYPE BEHIND IT?!?! WTF PORN MAN!! THIS IS WHAT WE NEED NOT ONLY FAN MODELS

They killed it. Great podcast. Real hip-hop on no jumper

As an MC this might be the greatest podcast I’ve ever heard

I use to stay bumping that Hopsin and dizzy wright

"You came through with the same shoes" LOL I loved Diz reaction to that. This interview def a 10/10

A diz, lush n hopsin podcast... ON NO JUMPER... FIRE!

This interview is amazing. As a lyricist I can relate fully to the progression of learning how to write from a to b. You two definitely got Hopsin to open up more than I’ve ever seen before. Great conversation

ill mind of hopsin 🤝

There is no way you could watch this podcast and not be a fan of Hopsin. Dude is just so real and honest and humble you just gotta be a fan of the dude. Plus hes just a hip hop head to the core. AMAZING PODCAST! Lush and Diz gonna have the best hip hop podcast within a year. GrindTime 4 eva!!

This was awesome, definitely enjoyed hopsin talking about when he first started out and knew he wasn’t good very inspirational

This interview was super dope!! Real good energy Excited to hear some new Hopsin

This one was wholesome af, put a smile on my face!

Damn it's cool seeing hop enjoy the Convo like this.

"skateboarding Tony hawk" 😭🤣

Nah wtf hopsin is a crazy legend wtf

Such an amazing interview

Didn't even know this happened. Glad some people respect and his style. Because he should've gotten more but he's happy and things happen for a reason sometimes.

Hopsin is cool af fr. Met him with a buddy at a diamond supply party at their store in like 2016. Dude was good vibes man. He talked with us for a while and took pics after.

hopsin voice is loud and can reach super far, this is one of the superpowers Dizaster has that’s why when hopsin got super excited and his vocals turned on dizaster enjoyed it and even mentioned it and later on mentioned it again and said he could do great and it’s hilarious hopsin didn’t notice it because all of the best battle rappers rap like that, more loud and more clear because if you don’t know, people in the front can hear, but not much in the back and somehow, some people are still just learning that. Hopsin is experienced and his performance is great

Hopsin so dope

Hopsin definitely brings no jumper a different crowd smart interview Adam

REPRESENTING PANORAMA CITY fucking love Hopsin man

hop is the man I met him in Vegas at the hard rock briefly before a tech show he chill af dude keeps it real im also from 818 nice to have an artist from here that stiill stay true to the craft respects artform a real hip hop scholar with to tier lyrics . iv been listing to his tracks since pots and pans glad he is back to making music

first time taking time to look at an episode of this podcast and it was very good. good job guys keep it up 👍🏽

HOPSIN!!! Such a G and was the soundtrack to my adolescence, such a creative genius. Been down since the beginning, uses to love the Hopsin in the basement videos, I can remember waiting counting down the days until Hop is Back came out after listening to him for so long and having him make new music again after him taking such a long break, them knock madness! So legendary and then pound syndrome! So raw man he did his thing with funk volume too it's a shame they broke up but then we got to see the diss video against the "manager" who was stealing money and gambling it away. He has such a crazy epic Arc it's insane I'm glad he's successful still I'd love to hear new music and a new project from him

Hopsin is a great interviewee. Loved this episode yall keep the series going we slowly goin n growin up!

This was so dope

Awesome podcast

This is a dope interview!!! Hop is a legend

Cant wait for this new album!

Good to see bro

When he said the Armenians fought the Persians I though I was listening to the history channel for a second lol

i love this. Hopsin has so much energy

best interview i seen in years, big ups

much needed interview on Hopsin, W no jumperr

13 minutes in this has me cracking tf up!

Never gave these two a chance but anybody who gets an interview wit Hopsin deserves one, they cool lol

Really getting educated on real hip hop watching this pod, good shit 🔥🔥

Hopsin technically battled Supahot Fire, so you could call him a battle rapper.

Get Tsu Surf on here

2022 needed this interview

Wow finally some fucking talent is on no jumper, crazy how the less know show on no jumper can pull this type of person to interview, hopsin is a goat i dont know shit about the man but his music is raw talent

This the first time I tune in Hopsin really was on of my top favorites at one point

This guy said The Basement!!! I used to get my streaks and other markers from there back in the day.

good to see hop

Hell yeah another one. 💯 Hopsin slept on fr

i just got home from work n im fuckin stoked to see this podcast coming to life keep doin the damn thing bro much respect to the battlers and lyical spitters

What a good ass episode 🔥🔥🔥

I press dat like button every time lush says summ cool

Its cool seeing dizaster outside of battle rap and not in character and seeing him just talk... as for lush.... lushUNOOOOOOOO haha

GTP getting better and better with each ep.

Hopsin is one of the best on the West, period. A lot of people won't give it to him because the other artists like Kendrick, 2Pac, etc., were/are so much more famous & had bigger cultural moments, but to me, Hopsin's content in his music is more consistently deep & with a compelling storyline than these artists. Kendrick def has great songs but sometimes he's just rapping about being a lyrical master, same with Pac had a lot that weren't really saying anything other than he wouldn't back down to anyone, meanwhile Hopsin doing social commentary, talking about his personal life, going after a lot more subject matter consistently. The fact that on top of that he's got a really solid pen, and solid cadence, to me makes him one of the most reliable artists on the coast.

“We’re putting the tanks and helicopters away” 😂 38:10

When he was talking about crooked eye had me dead

Right from the start, I knew it would be a good interview seeing that DIZ and HOP are familiar with the same cities. It's cool when people who didn't grow up together but lived near each other have different but similar paths in life, then end up in the same spaces again lol

Have to look so hard to find hopsin material and it’s always rewarding

Hopsin a Real Legendd.

GOD TIER XPERTS!!

🔥 Diz and lush do your thing

Let's go. Cooking dinner while watching

Love to see Hop on No Jumper again

I learned a lot about Hop from this interview this is the best interview I seen of his.

Maaaan. Impressive back to back guests. Let's fucking goo

Yessir love Hopsin since day 1.

This interview was 🔥🔥🔥 I use to live in panorama city 2 by Tobias and parthenia that’s dope

Diz and lush one did there thing on this podcast not mad at all! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Lush with the diamond critical terms “Manufactured Consensus”

Diz, lush and hop all in one video. 🤯💢💯💣

Panorama City !!! Born and raised ! Crazy growing up hearing the music to bumping into him in person around close cities . 🔥🔥🔥 ❤️ ❤️❤️

The one I've been waiting for... Perfect

Hopsin about time!

I fuking love this shit.

One of the best interview. Hop, respect! Remember that you not only inspire people from America. Big fan from Poland. Yooooooooooooo!
