It's sort of Hopsin's personal take on "No Sleep Till Brooklyn.Welcome to /r/HipHopHeads! /r/Hiphopheads COVID-19 Donations Thread "It's like, 'Ohmigod, it's starting to hurt. You bone hard the first two or three women, then it's like 17 more women coming through, better keep that boner up," Hopsin laughs. "It's equivalent to a male doing a porno scene and you have to do a scene that day where you fuck 20 women. Wearing that mask for weeks at a time can be exhausting. He's trying to compartmentalize his life to keep it away from the backdraft of this Hopsin character he's created. Hopsin has taken time during this past year to heal himself and balance the work/life demands that amplified his frustrations. Dre worked at a radio station, I can't see this bullshit getting through." "If it was me with my control over it, I would just be, 'I don't care, if this guy can't rap, he will not be played'. "It's just that the mainstream world is very sided towards bullshit music," he says, citing the Auto-Tune boom. The main issue seems to be one of disgust for his peers and what radio endorses. I didn't want to be the weakest link on the label." So everybody had made an album for 2015, so I just decided to make another one as well.
"He just made me see it from a different perspective.
"It took a lot of time to get what I have, so many years, and he just didn't want to see all that work go to waste," Hopsin recalls. Wright convinced Hopsin to stick with it. He recounts the event on Pound Syndrome track "Fort Collins," featuring his friend and label/tour-mate Dizzy Wright. It follows an incident in late January 2014 when a disillusioned Hopsin walked out the back door of the venue without performing, spending the show sitting at a construction site. The Los Angeles-based performer even went so far as to announce he was going to quit rap in December before backing away from that decision this year. The song's the product of a spiritual crisis the author of gold-selling singles "Sag Your Pants" and "Ill Mind of Hopsin 5" has grappled with the past year. "God is maybe a thing kids never heard a rapper even mention, other than saying 'ohmigod,' so at least I put the thought in their minds." "'Ill Mind 7' is a gospel record in a way, but it doesn't feel like gospel because it's done in my way," he says, still weighing his blasphemy. From his clothes and white contacts to his musical choices, he's always charted his own path. (Maybe it was that phase when it kept saying it was gonna bust a cap in someone's ass.) That hardly inhibits Hopsin. I'll be damned if I put my own pleasures aside for an afterlife that isn't even guaranteed." "Is this where I belong? Is it wrong to not believe in right and wrong," he asks, before ultimately turning his back on the Christian faith he fervently embraced all too recently.
