His lyrics are very eminemesque, the way he flows, and how he is connected with his lows, his songs aren't just filled with braggadocio's. He has admitted it him self, but it is just a big train if you go back like almost 20years And listen to all the rap, and listen to Rakim your thoughts should be "Dude is on another level" Same thing happened when No Limit and Bad Boy records were at their prime and Eminem came out and people were like "White boy is bringin it" Now we have a young black man inspired by a rich white guy that is about the only left in the rap game that could have a shock factor.
I can see it in parts of certain songs, but not this one. Some of Hopsin sounds like Eminem's shit from the 90s but yeah he does have a unique style otherwise.
watching this and thinking he was pissed because he ain't blow up now all his shit has millions of views! keep chasin your dreams hopsin didn't blow up overnight and he was always dope the industry don't want him in the game because he speaks the truth but he never switched up and eventually they couldn't stop him from blowing up
God Hopsin is gonna be so big one day. Been with him since he had like 10k subs. Peace be with you hop and sick song you dropped today. Can't stop playing it
2:13 immaculate word play. This man always been ahead of the game. I cant believe this feels like the first time hearing it 12 years later. Everyones opinions irrelevent, this man is a top dog in the game and a pioneer to an untouched sound
Damn I may only be 23… but listening to all of these old Hopsin songs since I was in 8th grade… this fr makes me feel so damn old😂😭😂 but I love your music Hopsin! Your the best under ground rapper, Next to Jarren Benton‼️
Starting with Ill Mind 1 I am still amazed with the steady incline of talent. Perfecting his craft, staying true to his personality and staying in his lane. I have always enjoyed Hopsin for being different. His skill level is awesome!!!
Hopsin is teaching me that I need to open my mind to new experiences, I only "invest" myself into people who are big now, not from their start. So now Im here back at the start, learning and seeing all I can about his content and who he his as a person and what he represents
People are saying that Pound Syndrome was bad, it wasn't, he's just changed over the years, he has no reason to be pissed about Ruthless anymore because he's made it all by himself, he didn't lose his skill or anything like that. people just don't understand the change
+Tre Bills I feel you on that. It wasn't bad, just not as many raw emotions. It had more of a comedy sound to it. Fort collins was pretty damn good as well. I wish the opening "the pound" was an actual full song though cause it sounds fucking awesome. Still though I prefer knock madness.
+Tre Bills I agree as well. The fact that people are trashing his new album is rather ridiculous. It just goes to show that people can't accept change. It's rather pitiful.
Artist are like boxers ... They never lose their skill just their time to shine, some of them last longer than others ... Sometimes they come back and shine sometimes they come back and fail, sometime they cruise through with a low key fan base, some never come back at all. Sometimes we look at their old footage or listen to their old tracks.. Anyone who wants to hate on any entertainer or person for that matter is just retarded . Be open, and realize time is of the essence and only time will tell and also only time will heal. You people act like there is a dead line or you demand satisfaction right away. The spoiledness of those who truly believe they are elite. Shame that they know not they are the true scum
What makes music so powerful for me is the association pieces of music have with certain times of my life. Every time I listen to this it brings me back. I would've been 18 when I first heard this and I'm now 25.
Damn Hopsin has rap mastered, from the way he holds the mic, to his delivery, consistency, flow, punchlines, metaphors, similes, storytelling, disses, the whole 9 yards!
There will never be another rapper anything like Hopsin, his flow is unable to be copied. To this day his flow hasn't changed, he has just grown as a man. Nothing but love for Hop ❤️, bro is a legend in his own right.
Watching all the I'll mind at 1 am cuz I'm bored. It's crazy yet so inspiring how far hopsin has came how much hes progressed and made his career really proves that anything is possible
I first heard this song 10 years ago. Man I wish I can write everything but hop you really helped me in my early teen years. Still laughing at some of the bars he said. Miss this man
Dont know why I decided to hit this up tonight after some years, but I forgot how dope this track is. This shit gives you the stoke you got the first time you heard some truly nice hip hop. A classic for real.
When I first heard this I was 25 and I dug the lyrics for reasons a 25 year old would. Now I'm 35 turning 36 in a couple weeks and I dig the song differently than I did at 25 but still holds value all these years later. #MISTA808

This coronavirus got me going back listening to all the ILL minds
Real thing
bought time I found someone in 2020 too!
Yuppp
Saaaame
Bruhhhhh....
Came back to this and noticed he paid respect to Nipsey Hussle and Jay Rock.
Respect to Hopsin for that.
What did he say?
@@acerock6634 2:00
I came back to realize hes actually in the video..
I’m saying 💯
It’s sad that he even mentioned them but dissed Lil Wayne I mean Drake and Nicki Minaj sure but lil Wayne is dope been dope since he came out!
The year is 2020, and I am still walking away saying "that fool spits raw".
How was corona
How the fuck does he do that?
that fool spits raw
nice lol
@Tiktok Shorts ♪ 2022 going strong sir

I was scrolling through the comments and read yours just as he said it lol
Jack Liddell Just happened to me too wtf haha

Ken Kimani I'm not lying. Dunno about the others though.
big step from ill mind 2 lmao

He was such a bitter edgelord.
Cold ass beat
"Dame and Elliot, might as well say bye to you too"
Foreshadowing
+Niall Smith He actually says "Damon Elliot" (the guy who sent his music to Ruthless Records)
+GrantasticHD thank you
yooooo
I'm Rick James bitch! (Cocaines a hella drug)
*yes*
Everyone keeps saying he got Eminem's flow and style. I honestly don't see it. Hopsin got a pretty unique style. That's just my opinion though.
His lyrics are very eminemesque, the way he flows, and how he is connected with his lows, his songs aren't just filled with braggadocio's.
He has admitted it him self, but it is just a big train if you go back like almost 20years And listen to all the rap, and listen to Rakim your thoughts should be "Dude is on another level"
Same thing happened when No Limit and Bad Boy records were at their prime and Eminem came out and people were like "White boy is bringin it"
Now we have a young black man inspired by a rich white guy that is about the only left in the rap game that could have a shock factor.
there are a lot of similarities between him and shady...check out hopsin 5...
I don't think it's a bad thing at all
I can see it in parts of certain songs, but not this one. Some of Hopsin sounds like Eminem's shit from the 90s but yeah he does have a unique style otherwise.
when i first heard him i thought he sounded like em, and everyone agreed this is back in 2010
He just was inspired by Eminem, he said, Marshall Mathers LP taught him to do hip-hop, that's why the people see him like black Slim Shady, haha!
Only recently started diving into Hopsin's music, goddamn can't believe I hadn't heard of this guy sooner, man's got talent
These are seriously all incredible. Every. Single. One.
"Its FunkVolume"
...not anymore it aint.
Lol

Eddie Figueroa 2 wasn't a song o.0
2!!!! nah, i like 1 and 3 the best
45316 in that order
I hate how ill mind 2 is just him taking apart a shopping cart 😂
Robert Quinn true.
“Taking apart a shopping cart” that was creative engineering dont downplay the ill mind
I'm done
@@vainjumper9978 exactly
Haha fr bro
watching this and thinking he was pissed because he ain't blow up now all his shit has millions of views! keep chasin your dreams hopsin didn't blow up overnight and he was always dope the industry don't want him in the game because he speaks the truth but he never switched up and eventually they couldn't stop him from blowing up
Gods Creation exactly
God Hopsin is gonna be so big one day. Been with him since he had like 10k subs. Peace be with you hop and sick song you dropped today. Can't stop playing it
U was just saying he would be big and showing him that I've been here for awhile and just acting chill but you gotta be a bitch and start shit
Gavin Emert That was not English. It may be spelled in English, but it isn't English, one of those sentences makes literally NO SENSE.
aged well
Your right
This didn’t age well😂
I get chills listening to this again.
2:13 immaculate word play. This man always been ahead of the game. I cant believe this feels like the first time hearing it 12 years later. Everyones opinions irrelevent, this man is a top dog in the game and a pioneer to an untouched sound

+Xtensa 420 its true
R.I.P NIp even Hopsin putting respect on his name for years
I love that he never took down any of these videos. This was the first hopsin i’ve ever heard!
Who knew a green t-shirt could rap so good
I see what you did there. ;)
That was actually funny. Props lol
BLUE SHIRT IS A WAY BETTER RAPPER!!!! Blue shirt forever!!! Fuck green shirt!!! He sucks!!
mahhmeatloaf LMAO
Red shirt 4 lyfe
Hop has always been a good rapper, but watching how much he developed from ill mind 1 to this is insane. So glad I grew up listening to Hop.
Starting with Ill Mind 1 I am still amazed with the steady incline of talent. Perfecting his craft, staying true to his personality and staying in his lane. I have always enjoyed Hopsin for being different. His skill level is awesome!!!
This dude is incredible. The best rapper today in my opinion
👍👍👍
Same bro
Ikr
People are saying its llmar
Kendrick is decent he just too overrated tho
I bet hopsin will rape him in a freestyle!
My homie Dylan passed away yesterday and hopsin was his favorite. RIH my best friend 💙
Yo rip that nigga Dylan
With big beards who say “Arrg Matey”
Got me dead lol
First song I've ever heard by Hopsin. I can' thank my friends enough for bumping this song in their truck.
Hopsin. Been my idol since day1. Listen to all your music errday. Never get sick of it g💯
12 year anniversary and STILL the best rap lyric of all time - “I hold it down like my boner in gym class” HOPSIN FOREVER A LEGEND
Best rap lyric of all time is a stretch but it was funny 😂
Hopsin is teaching me that I need to open my mind to new experiences, I only "invest" myself into people who are big now, not from their start. So now Im here back at the start, learning and seeing all I can about his content and who he his as a person and what he represents
Happy Birthday Hopsin drop I’ll Mind of Hopsin 10 we’re waiting today for it!

What makes music so powerful for me is the association pieces of music have with certain times of my life. Every time I listen to this it brings me back. I would've been 18 when I first heard this and I'm now 25.
one of the best ill minds.. ya boi from Aus still feeling it Hop!
the fact that the instrumental for this is nowhere to be found
Cause he made it him self on fruity loops or whatever some beat app is called
that sucks because I actually really like it.
There's a remake to it on TH-cam though
+Lord Ferbombi thats bc he made that beat
Check out Languar beats, something like that. It's on his channel he's dope too.
Now that I'm going through hopsin's repertoire again, I think this might be my favourite ill mind
13 years later and im still coming back to this man 😂
6 years later with or without funk volume this is still dope
UNDERCOVER PRODIGY For Life
Damn Hopsin has rap mastered, from the way he holds the mic, to his delivery, consistency, flow, punchlines, metaphors, similes, storytelling, disses, the whole 9 yards!
Word bro beastmode!
2020 missing real rap so I came back here
I’m listing to all il minds now....and I’m blown away

Ill mind 7 is out but I'm listening to this
For me the best "Il Minds" are 1,3 and 5
Ricky Pedrosa All of them

That's just my opinion tho
4 is pretty alright too
2 is the best
Yee i still be comin bac and slappin dis till this day🔥
His flow so fly i watch em erday on repeat💯
God this is just so amazing. If I'm feeling angry this always helps. Thanks for being you Hopsin.
Absolute dope, glad I found that guy, epic flow, epic voice, Underground Horrorcore Revived!
IT'S BEEN TO LONG TO HEAR SOME FIRE ASS HOPSIN
On a Hopsin marathon. The realness...the flow...the stinging social commentary...I'm still watchin' 😉👍
There will never be another rapper anything like Hopsin, his flow is unable to be copied. To this day his flow hasn't changed, he has just grown as a man. Nothing but love for Hop ❤️, bro is a legend in his own right.
Watching all the I'll mind at 1 am cuz I'm bored. It's crazy yet so inspiring how far hopsin has came how much hes progressed and made his career really proves that anything is possible
Sick freestyle. Glad you ain't no industry mainstream artist, Hopsin. Spittin' out that dragon fire.
Bro Hopsin has always been lit from Ill mind 1 to now even before that bro dude is so underrated
Watching all the ill mind’s on January, 29 2018 and so far hopsin is probably my favorite rapper lol
what other rapper right now besides kendrick and eminem could spit all this in one take? none
I remember when hopsin came out, can’t believe it’s been over a decade Damn has he ever evolved
Hopsin made some of the best for the future, just glad I got to witness it!
I first heard this song 10 years ago. Man I wish I can write everything but hop you really helped me in my early teen years. Still laughing at some of the bars he said. Miss this man
How do people hate on hopsin he's AWESOME
PRINCE J idk man they just hate
Damn I was bumping this in middle, I’m 25 lolol time flies

Arr matey god damn it I laughed way too hard at that
Dayum brotha hop murked the beat and spit that flame..🔥

Hopsin for life. He's one of my favorite rappers cuz he doesn't rap about all the dum shit that other rappers talk about. Hopsin keeps it real
LMAO at this comment

Damn been nostalgic for all the ill minds, and I'd still say this niqqa has no filters in his rap, he raw asf🔥🔥
To see his growth through his content is dope when you been watching since day one to see where he is now
Freakin Redic... the Kid is nutz! Lovin' it
I'll mind 2 Is by far the best!

Tyler Dalton ikr, whoever disagrees is just... wrong

When I first heard this I was 25 and I dug the lyrics for reasons a 25 year old would.
Now I'm 35 turning 36 in a couple weeks and I dig the song differently than I did at 25
but still holds value all these years later.
#MISTA808
2023 and still here 💯💯💯
This is very similar to London Grime, the simple catchy looped beat with the undeniable baseline. This is how to showcase rhythm and poetry!
Yeah I know what you mean
nah dude this is classic rap g
+Nicolo Moriano Which is what Grime comes from.
Man don't care bout all that -JME
+SamuelDM Grime actually comes from UK garage and jungle
My Favorite out of all the ill minds
Definitely one of my favorites
