The PROBLEM With Hopsin's "ILL Mind Of Hopsin 9" 

*CORRECTION* 1:43 - I meant to say "Hopsin's girlfriend said he assaulted her" Probably a bit of an unpopular opinion here, but I hope you enjoyed! I'll hopefully have my review for No Shame up soon. I've got a special video coming tomorrow, I haven't even been meaning to upload this much, but there's so much I've wanted to speak on recently! Enjoy

I'm not gonna lie, some of the lines in the song are questionable. But to me, this is a return to form for Hop. People say he's corny but I don't think this is corny at all. The storytelling was incredible and the message gave me chills. I gotta disagree with you on this one

COMPLETELY disagree with you for the first time. When Eminem makes a song like Kim or Cleaning Out My Closet, everyone praises him and loves it but when Hop makes a track like this, everyone suddenly gets all mad and says hes being "disrespectful"... No its not. Imagine if u were with a gf for a few years and then she cheated on you, accused you of beating her, and then preventing you from seeing her son for something you never did... Yea id be pretty pissed too and would defiantly take shots at her. Hes not being "petty" hes being real and speaking his mind, rightfully so.

Sorry but I have to respectfully disagree. I think of this song like a lighter version of Kim, a song I really liked. You don’t know the emotional pain that Hopsin must have gone though. Having a kin and not even being able to see it! That would take a toll on anyone, and the most natural response is anger. I like your videos but I have to rate this one a 4/10

Can you rank the "Ill minds of Hopsin"?

She deserves it.

Did the man who invented college go to college

You can’t praise Hopsin for not holding back what he says in his music and then get mad at him for doing the exact same thing. I understand that he may have gotten harsh on this track but I would have done the same if I had gone through what he has and had a way of expressing myself like he does. He spoke what he was thinking, knowing that it may get backlash like this, and I respect him for that.

I'm not the kind of guy to write an angry comment because somebody on the internet said something I disagreed with. I believe everyone is entitled to an opinion and has the right to not be instantly bombarded with hateful vomit for expressing what they believe in however I will have to disagree with this video. I find it a bit hypocritical that you don't have an issue with Eminem saying much more hurtful things toward his own mother but when Hopsin does it you give him shit for it. Secondly I believe Hop is a bit entitled to be pissed at his ex because she is literally banning him from seeing his own son. Lastly about Hopsin trying to make his own son hate his mother seems little *cough cough* stupid to me as he clearly says that "Your way too young to know this shit in the last verse so I feel like it doesn't really work like that. I have left this vid a dislike and a structural comment explaining why I did. This is not intended for hateful purposes just an explanation. Have a nice day

If you listen to Hotel In Sydney, the Story makes more sense

The way Hopsin flows on the verses in this song is reminiscent of the way Eminem flows on '97 Bonnie and Clyde' from the Slim Shady LP. The subject matter is similar also, cause EM is talking to his daughter Haley about her mother Kim. Overall I like the song, just feel like it was out of place for an Ill Mind of..

every hopsin song is sick until you hear The chorus

You have to remember the context is wich the message is givin.. "ILL mind" not Correct or happy mind.. ILL . So from the jump he's saying his thoughts are ducked up or "ill" which means sick or diseased.

Halie grew up fine and eminem raps about murdering his wife while she sits in the booster seat of the car

100K SUBS!!! Been a sub since 10k, keep up the good work!

Glad you made a vid for this💯💯

I got a 97 bonnie and clyde by eminem type of vibe. Eminem did the same thing and nobody complained

Congrats on 100k

Idk why hop gets so much hate lol

Ayy!! 100k boiii!!

Ayy 100k

I expected this as soon as I read your comment on the first song of his new album and I gotta say I totally agree with you.

This is the vid that lead me to your legendary channel

*reads thumbnail* *Ceases to be surprised*

This is a very impressive video liked the song but you just showed me somethings that i missed alot thanks man.

Congratulations on 100k my man

You got some good points that I didn't realize at first listen. I guess I was to excited when I first played it to understand how detrimental it could be to his boy.

Nearly 1000k my man, keep the good content coming pal. Keep this channel going the way you have and you'll smash it sooner or later. When Eminem drops his album get ya self reviewing it asap and you'll get ya self a shit loads of subscribers if ya content is dope too.

This song has a awesome story to it and the bars are fire

Ayeeeee you’re gonna get 100k today

Starting listening to hopsin yesterday andi am loving him he just has a brilliant flow amazing lyrics and delivery is on point too

hops kid finna be at school and hear “ your dads corny af boyyy”

The biggest fans of an artist are also their biggest critics. That's how I feel about it. You did a good job at bringing your message home. Keep it up doe! Looking forward to.... You know ;)

Good points made man. I didn't think about these reasons. I do like the song. Great Video.

Sorry man I dont have you on this one, but in general I love your channel.

Yes, another banger is out

the song sounded almost exactly like 95 bonnie and clyde by eminem... (EDIT: *97 I have no fucking idea why I put 95)

you should do a video of the top 10 most lyrical rappers youve heard

I enjoyed it for the fact that he poured his heart into this song, that's the point of his ILL MIND's, to use absolutely every ounce of emotion he can, to show exactly how he feels about a point. And he does it the way he wants to, no matter the critics

Can you please do a top 10 rappers of all time list?

Perfect video perfect song feels real and wow one you know for a fact already dragging your name and character with him already so he doing the same thing out of pain right

I do agree with what ur saying to a certain degree and I completely understand where ur coming from. But the whole point of the ill mind series is to venture into his mind. This is what was going on in his head at the time of writing this song and when he was going through it. I'm not even a big hopsin fan at all but this song definitely resonated with me because it gave a lot of insight into how his mind works and how he deals with the things that effect him, and he stays true to that no matter how fucked up he may come across.

I appreciate this video a lot. Seriously we didn't realllly like No Shame for a lot of the same ethical reasons you bring up. Anyhow look forward to your No Shame review (not sure if it's up). Feel free to check ours if you have time.

I agree and I am going to still listen to it again

I couldn't agree more!!!

This is just your opinion. There is no problem with ill mind of hopsi ln 9. You should change the title before more hate comes.

I think hotel in Sydney should of been I'll mind 9

Coming from that broken home, that song actually really makes me feel. I am a hardcore metalhead, 80's thrash all the way! but this song still gets a great message across, I can understand how it feels like a bit of a diss track using his son for it, but even still thats to be expected, he's a frustrated father who for all he knows will never see his child again, of course hes gonna let out some things that are bit more coarse and unrefined. At least now the child can have two sides to the story and maybe one day when he's old enough he can really sit back and think about it and wonder if his mother was really that great of a mother anyway. Thats just my 2 cents anyway

I wish I could have my nearly 7 1/2 minutes back.

Hey CDTV Productions, what about all the songs Eminem wrote for Hailey? What's your veiws on that?

The second half of the hook is my favourite part. I love the harmonies. Different strokes for different folks.

I see your point and I gotta admit that insulting his ex and her parents may not be good for the child in the future but it shouldn't be our problem. I mean, he is an artist and this is how he expresses himself in that situation, if we started judging songs by their moral attitiude we wouldn't be able to enjoy (for example) most of Eminem's tracks. I find 9th lit asf. peace!

To be fair though hopsin is probably extremely pissed off still. The first song on the album details everything that happened and I think he really wants to see his kid. Any father that is unable to see their kid after the shit their ex put them through would have felt the same things. Hell I remember a story where a guy lost custody of his kids and it left him so heartbroken that he killed himself.

I loved it...

So many rappers dig into people. Early Eminem wrote Kim and his daughter can listen to it everyday of her life. Joyner wrote a song about wishing his wife had gotten an abortion and his thoughts about his kid. This is Hopsin's personal rendition of what he's going through and I feel that with time his son will realize what kind of spot he was in back when he listens to this when he's older.

As a 100K subscriber special. Could you take off your hat for your next video

he should have kept it strictly about predicting a life with his son rather than aiming for her real talk

Normally I agree with you most of the time, but I don’t on this one. Music in general is a great avenue to express your emotions especially in rap music. Hip hop has always been a very raw and uncensored genre of music and whether or not you agree with the message or not, you gotta remember that this is raw, unbridled hip hop with no filter and isn’t suppose to make everyone like him. He is just speaking on a subject that he is passionate about in the way he sees fit which is the heart and soul of the Ill mind series

I agree with the part about he being talking to his child about hating his mother, but this Ill Mind of Hopsin is completly different than the others. The others were supposed to be Singles, and are mostly seperated from the rest of the albums. This one is just another song in a album that happens to be titled Ill Mind of Hopsin. If it had any other name people would be all over it because it fits really well in the album

can you do top 10 fastest hopsin verses please

You're music knowledge is nice

In the end though, this song is a clear diss track hidden behind his child and controversial lyrics have always been a major part of lyricists like hopsins music, and the song itself has well thought out and delivered lyrics, if ones that may have a negative effect

Just noticed that you are getting near 100K subscribers mark/milestone. Congratulations, man. I appreciate the hell out of your videos.

You clearly have never had a baby momma fam lmao

Another thing is you can appreciate this song and its message when you’ve gone thru ur own experience similar to this

1. Wouldnt you be mad if your wife falsely accused you of beating her 2. He said he wished she aborted because itd be easier on THE CHILD, not Hopsin 3. The track was both about the child and why he couldnt see his kid, and the reason why he couldnt see his kid was because of his ex and her fucked up shit.

Imagine how its going at the house when the kid gets older. most likely the mom is going to prevent the kid from listening t that song and he'll probably listen to it in like middle school or something, so the kid wont know any of it (assuming the Hopsin doesnt get approved to see hi or anything, and even so, i think the mom will be extremely observant on whats going on). most likely the mother is going to be saying to the child "Youre dad left us" or something like that and make him seem like the bad guy, Hop is just trying to make sure that down the line the kid will understand eventually that he isnt there because of her and that she cheated on him and stuff. Imagine you where in his position, he didnt make this song for the money or anything like that, he made it to get the massege out that he loves the kid and the mom was a liar and a other things along those lines. You can imagine how hard it was for him to come up with all the lyrics that gets all of his points across and his emotions out so somethings might be bad but what would you expect from being in that situation.

The line about the abortion isn't about how Hopsin's life would be easier it's about they shouldn't have brought a kid in this world just to cause it this much pain and confusion. I think that's what later lines elude to. The songs supposed to be raw, hurt, and emotionally grey. He later in the song admits that what he's doing is petty and only to satisfy him for the pain he's feeling.

100K SUBS 😎😎😎😎

Get the homie to 100k

As for my opinion on the song, on first listen it made me cry but I slowly started listening to it over and over then I realized the instrumental and visuals is what made me cry. I agree with what you said about it seems cheap. I was very excited for this song but it just shot down my hopes.

I know that u would have liked it more if it was about him not being able to see his child. But I'll mind if hopsin is about him saying exactly how he feels regardless of how harsh it is

Brother, I couldn’t agree more. I actually struggled to finish the song.

Dont ever try to judge something youve never experienced for yourself. I can only imagine what hes going through based on that story. Im sure if what happened to him, happened to you. Youd be feeling like every word he said couldnt of been said better.

I agree with you 100% ... i wasnt keen on that final verse and felt it petty and corny towards the end... kind of a woes is me bullshit...

Mate it’s music... the beauty of music is that you can express yourself in whatever way you want! If he wants to speak out about somethings going on his life then that’s for him to do.

This is exactly what i was thinking while listening to this track

To me, this song is quite great. I have to agree with you that certain lyrics might not help his case or might not be the best ever written, but what I like about Hopsin and this song is that it's real and relatable. When Hopsin says something that you take as not helping the case, I take it as a man shouting in agony, I can feel the emotion in the lyrics. Hell, I've said stuff I regret after the fact. So yes, it might not be the most lyrical or technical song, but its a very real song, like in many of hopsins songs. And thats why I like this song ;)

I think Hopsin fans are just disliking the video without watching it because of thumbnail. I'm also a supporter of hopsin and I 100% agree with what you said. I'm a bit disappointed that i didn't enjoy this 'ILL MIND' like the past ones. Anyway i like your videos, keep it up!

Handled perfectly. It’s his own personal situation no one can really understand and he put it in his OWN words. You can’t shit on that AT ALL

The thing is he's not really telling his kid to hate his mother, has telling him how much he hates her himself but still some lines are kinda fucked up

The thing is, there will always be two sides of the story. Even if Hop dissed this kid's mom in a song that becomes really popular, the kid is likely going to grow up with his mother talking about Hop the same way. And judging by what we've heard from Hop he is in the right in this situation, giving him more of a right to insult her. Plus all he did was insult her in a handful of songs, while she has made false accusations of him beating her, managed to get him banned from the country, and stop him from meeting his own son.

This song is perfectly crafted. And a coming from a guy who been there and had a child taken away it hurts and when it's unjust the truth ha to be told

Hopsin used to be cool in like middle school lol...

The song gave me that Ill mind vibe... all that matters imo, Although he could've handled it better, I think hopsin just wanted to let his raw emotion out, that's what an Ill mind is for. I don't think it'll affect the child negatively honestly and we really did need to know what exactly happened with him and his ex, and how he really feels about it

i respect your opnion

Until you have a kid with someone who prevents you from seeing your own child, I don’t think I would comment on the situation. This song relates to A LOT of guys

would you be able to review folk like Oakzy B, Lugzy, Amense. that would be great for some of us neds

I agree with about everything you said.

I disagree because of how his gf made him unable to see his son. She falsely accused him of assault sending him to jail, getting him banned from the country, and not being able to see his son for something he didn’t even do

I think to get some background of this song listen to hotel in Sydney. It tells the story from his side about what happened. He was told that she had pictures of her in bed with her personal trainer which also raised suspicions even if the kid is his, he had proposed to her with a 20k ring and found out she had been working at a strip club and it got heated that she wouldn't tell him where this is. In his version of events he threw her purse across the room and pushed her on the bed and due to this he was arrested for assaulting her, this means that he was deported and it will no longer be possible for him to get a visa to Australia to be able to be in his kids life. Anyone that knows anything about visas knows that this means he may never be granted the right to step foot in Australia again. So I understand the bitterness and helplessness of feeling betrayed by the woman that you loved and trusted and powerless to ever be in your kids life. It's a hurtful thought that this woman may now be with another man letting him play daddy while you're completely cut off. They can try to rewrite history and the kid may never know who his real dad is, just wipe hopsins existence of their life out. I don't think the aborted line was in anyway aimed at the child but more the on going struggle he will have with this emotionally for the rest of his life now due to this situation and maybe the believe that his son will be born into a lot of hurt and confusion. Personally I liked the song but think there's a lot to understand to get the song.

The reason he says he wishes she aborted is actually because he doesnt want his son to suffer growing up without a father figure in his life because ultimately that can ruin your whole life and he doesnt want him to suffer like that.

I am a HUGE hopsin fan and have been for ages. Tbh I only really like the purge out of the songs I’ve heard from his album so far. It reminds me of a love song album

The problem with wanting the kid to hate his mother is that the kid will wind up hating all women growing up. So, I'm at least glad this is just Hopsin being therapeutic.

I see wym about the song being about turning the kid against his mom and how using the kid as a way to diss his ex. But personally I like the song. I don't like it as much as ill 5 or 7 or even 8 but it's probably my 5th favorite overall just because he's talking about something that's super personal to him. Plus I guess I've just gotten use to hopsin being the way he is about never taking the blame so I don't hate it as much as I would. But overall I give it a 7/10

Telling his kid to hate his mom, that she’s a fake bitch and saying his grandparents are racist was a bit unnecessary but I really like this kind of aggression and saying things that show you’re not morally correct or a perfect person

I didn't expect to agree with you but I do

DO A VIDEO ON SCOTTISH RAP

Look dude, you cannot call a dude "petty" if he has a ton of built up hate for someone who won't let him see HIS KID! His child is basically his whole life, he better be the most petty person on Earth for what she did to him. His kid BETTER know that the only reason they have a broken family is because of her!

IMO I believe a hotel in Sydney should be I’ll mind 9 as it explains what actually happened at the time and it not as much as him dissing his ex
