- www.vladtv.com - In junior high and high school, rapper Hopsin was placed in special education classes due to "really bad ADHD." "ADHD is not a real thing to me, but that's what they called my actions," he says. "But to me that was just my instinct, and my body saying 'you don't belong in this environment.'"
The 30-year-old, Panorama City native felt ostracized by both White and Black people growing up, leading him to have mainly Mexican friends. Because he speaks properly he was categorized as a "certain type of Black" by other Black people. "They just felt the need to disown me kinda, and always try to like, fight me, so it was difficult growing up," Hopsin remembers. He says "it still happens," especially with Black women, but because he's respected for having bars these days it hasn't been too much of a problem.
Find out what else Hopsin had to go through growing up as he tells all in this exclusive clip.

I can relate. Earl said it best "Too black for the white kids, and too white for the blacks".
Except the black kids he refers too are just ignorant n the white kids are racist.
k f yeah so he never really fit in so its similar to what Hopsin went though.
I had a similar problem, but I was too nerdy for the thug crowd, and too thug for the nerd crowd.

This is so very true. Educated black people are rejected by the black community and it's honestly a ridiculous issue. I hear where you're coming from Hopsin.
Why doesn't he just talk black? 🤔
UnheardTerror 666 Why can’t he just talk out of the side of his mouth like every other ignorant bafoon???! 🖕🖕
Ignorance rejects wisdom, that's why its ignorant!
Basically
Kenyae Kofi I think it’s jealousy they try to keep you from being you! And education is a virtue
As one of the very few black people growing up in Orange County CA, I can relate 100%
Bro, black people are not rare in orange county, I've gone to school with black people since elementary.
+Marcus D he's probably not black or not in Orange County
Marcus D name me a school in OC that is predominately black people. It's either mexicans or whites mainly, with a few black folk here and there. LA county of course has way more black folk in the area. Few = rare. Shouldn't be too hard to comprehend.
I can understand how you might feel that way, but Hopsin is a different story. People dislike him for being hypocritical, immature, judgmental, and generally making awful records. Somebody might have dissed him for the way he talks once, but the real problem is who he is.
Overall, he seems like an attention seeker, and I kind of think everybody should just ignore him.
+Some Black Guy Love your channel, bro. Keep speaking the truth!
Dr. King and Malcolm X were two of many of the greatest historical black figures that spoke properly. Speaking proper as a black person shouldn't even be an issue at all.
+Yorel G. Black people then and now are two completely different races.
dartcrashe That's for sure. Hell, we don't stick together as much as we used to back then.
+Yorel G. different times. its different. the media has really ruined the image of black people in the last 20yrs. All of them are assumed to be ghetto because most people assume black people to be drug dealers, killers, rapists, robbers and thieves, fighters not lovers, rappers, or just simply athlete's AGAIN because of the media which includes tv, magazines, any type of news outlet. Given all those labels just mentioned associated with it is the lack of the ability to speak properly SO PEOPLE THINK. The media doesn't promote black business men and their accomplishments on business startups, university degree's etc because its not popular culture to speak about it AND the media is the one's who originally started what pop culture is by telling people what it is and people feeding into it and the machine recycles itself every 10yrs for the new teenagers and new young men and women in their 20's to follow the trends etc & brainwash and continue to keep racism, stereotype's and hatred alive THROUGH THE MEDIA MACHINE.
it's what society put in their heads
+Yorel G. It's funny because Speaking proper or not it's still English which is a west Germanic language so Speaking proper or not it's still not speaking black or African.
The people clowning him are the real clowns.
Shoutout to mexicans for holding hopsin down
I'm a Mexican special ed student and people be saying stuff
@@Porcupinenation is it those adhd classes or those special ed classes for retards
Hopsin is one of my fav rappers homes!!
anytime black people are my bros whenever and whoever
Ayy I'm Mexican & a huge Hopsin fan
I think he's always acted, talked and rapped normal to me. I've never once thought he acted white at all. And he's a fantastic artist who deserves the best recognition.
Facts man
What is “acting white”
this is straight up how certain black folk behave, internal racism. you do you Hop

I agree with him 100 %. I get put down by black people all the time cuz i try to talk proper. that is the way my mom taught me how to speak. Idk why other blacks try to make fun of it or say " Bruh why u talk white".
Now i understand why African people hate African Americans....
bigk705 There's no such thing as speaking "properly". White people created an arbitrary standard for "proper" speech and modelled it after their own behaviour.
If you don't speak like the Queen of England you don't speak "properly"
bigk705 They're ignaunt (ignorant) ;)
I went through the same thing, my dad was a school counselor and he always made me speak proper. I was called oreo every other day it seemed lol
Dou ahou this comment made me chuckle
Mexicans low key the best of people. Shoutout to all the cool Hispanic people.
hell ya haha
Fr tho
Blackman Whitesuit Idk bout that, some of them call me "too white (Way I speak)/too black (Music I listen to)" the blacks I've met don't judge me at all and are chill
Blackman Whitesuit I like everyone
Blackman Whitesuit fuck that blk people are Mexicans close second then maybe dominicans or portoricans (of course whites in last place)
I 1000% understand where he's coming from. Growing up other kids always told me i "talk white" or "proper" etc, when i'm just talking how I talk. It's sad that we stereotype our OWN selves as having to "talk black" or "ghetto". You're basically saying we aren't allowed to be articulate or intelligent, and that that's a white people only thing, it's pure ignorance man. So many black kids have literally been SHAMED and bullied for being smart and getting good grades in school, it's just sad man, it's like to us as a race what's bad is good and what's good is bad. Everything is reversed, and we wonder why we as a people have so many issues and problems....
Speaking proper English means your intelligent. You just have to find your own tribe of people to belong to.
Merlin Partlow
*you're
Speaking English properly means you are intelligent.
Your ability to speak English has nothing to do with intelligence. That just means that you speak well.
It just means you went to a good school and/or paid attention in class. There's a lot of dimwits with good grammar too...
@@wetnapkinz exactly
The children of immigrants who moved here a generation ago speak perfect proper English, it is really irritating to hear some black people continue to resist speaking properly simply because they want to sound black!
Hated for having intelligence
Growing I was typical urban kid and I talked just like other kids as I got older I began to read alot and became very articulate I noticed the shift in how people began to treat me during the transation, it not the best place to be in
This dude has a permanent smile on his face.
Anyway, I still remember the '80s and '90s when Bryant Gumbel was a whipping boy for black people to clown on because of the way he spoke. It wasn't until Barack Obama emerged out of nowhere and became the most powerful leader on the planet that people started backing off black people who spoke a certain way. It's surprising reading some of the comments on here who still refer to it as "corny". You guys are some dinosaurs, for real.
David Duarte and just like the dinosaurs they will go extinct.
I went through this same shit. I never understood how you could "speak" a color.
Sometimes we're our own worst enemy
Most times
That’s most of the time.
Yeah sometimes it's rare tho only when experienced ignorance can you elevate above With knowledge our ppl will follow
The thing is, the user-base of this channel is mostly populated by the same stupid, ignorant walking stereotypes that ostracized him. Just look at the comment section, it's embarrassing.
zico739 Why do you refuse to believe that Hopsin was just an other weirdo? I think Hopsin don't want to admit that himself.
ADHD, refuse to hang with black, with white, but suddenly, chose to hang with the craziest type of person in LA, the Mexican when he is black and the Mexican are racist?
I'm black and i hang with black ppl. If they're white, they're mostly nerds who play video games, if they're any other race, they're either nerds or just plain cool ppl.
I guess i can say that i'm black and i know how to make friends.
You hopsin fans should take your time and look at the big picture. Hopsin was probably crazy and didn't even know it.
RealBigDeal22 I'm not a Hopsin fan.
Hopsin Fans. A.K.A School Shooters
+Ayeverb Frankblock. Realbigdeal22 Way to judge and generalize people you have never met.
I hate all those social and cultural standards that people demand you to follow. The truly conscious beings that create their own individuality and drift away from being categorized will always be respected and admired in my opinion. Not saying I'm against my culture because I love my Mexican heritage and our beautiful culture. But just sick of those people who are so judgmental and believe you have to speak, behave, or appear a certain way to be considered the ethnicity you already are lol.
Anthony Reynoso it's sad honestly. It's like people are threatened by others who want to be themselves and not follow the croud like mindless sheep.
Yea bro from a Mexican I feel the same way
Preach brotha Hop, damn someone knows my struggle, I hung around cool hispanics classmates and they really welcomed me with open arms in high school. we all still talk too.
I had a lot of similarities to his experience. In my school special ed was where they put the kids that the mainstream teachers didn't want to deal with. Quiet kids(me), bad kids and foreign kids. The problem was that no matter how well you tested they wouldn't let you out of the program unless your parents damn near threatened to sue the school district. And I went through the same "speaking proper" thing when I was young. The younger generation of black kids probably will not have to deal with this as much. Oh and instead of Mexicans it was Asians for me.
Why can't people just be themselves and see other people as individuals?
Nope Nope because people are threatened by others who aren't like them. When you don't follow the croud you will be looked at like something is wrong with you.
R.I.P XXXTENTACION FOREVER REMEMBERED 👏 thats why i dont deal with people
Extremely thoughtful and likable, Hopsin is. And extremely talented and creative. I'm very impressed. Thanks so much for the interview and posting!
he is just so real. there needs to be more people like him. especially rappers
He's dope
And genuine like me but a troll too lol like me
It's a shame black Americans are like this to each other after all the stuff our people been through and still are going through to this day we get no love or comfort from each other
I got plenty of Black friends that are confused on which race will accept them. Talking proper in the city will get ya bashed,
Facts
My parents are from Jamaica and speaking properly was very important and being educated was very important. It’s a shame that the black community accepts ignorance as being normal
The only black community that accepts this ignorance is the black American community. Never forget that you and your family are from the Caribbean, not an American ghetto slum.
I have ADHD and ADD. Shit be lit every damn day 🙏🔥
Why does everything have to be with "hood this and hood that"? What's wrong with a black man being able to speak eloquently? I feel this is kind of like, "I'm not going to change for the good, but if you change for the good, then I won't accept you". Ridiculous how people think it's ok to be "about that life" and not get out of it.
Already! Them Mexicans showing that love. 💯.
Lmaooo "that's kinda why I hang around with Mexicans" 😂😂 all love
There's speaking proper English and there's speaking improper English (or ebonics). They were probably jealous of your ability to speak proper English, they felt inferior to you in that aspect, and rather than look at themselves they tried to hate on you...you'll see that pattern play out in so many areas of life.
There's nothing wrong with speaking proper English and nothing wrong with speaking improper English. It's just actions with consequences - both actions have their own set of consequences.
You're correct in that there's nothing wrong with speaking the way that you've learned. But putting it as a matter of speaking "proper English" vs. "improper English" is just reinforcing this false right-wrong dichotomy that undermines the point you've just made.
It's a simple matter of two different (spoken) dialects of English, each with distinct but internally-shared vocabularies and grammars, and which are in turn equally valid on their own right. What you label as 'improper English' or 'ebonics' refers to the dialect classified as AAVE or AAE-African-American (Vernacular) English-which has been evolving for hundreds of years alongside other English dialects in North America.
One 'prestige' dialect might be perceived as more proper or correct than another, but that's purely a matter of societal attitudes and power dynamics.
There are also loosely agreed-upon standardized grammars or prescribed grammars (like style guides) for written English, as there are for most written languages, but this also has nothing to do with inherent 'correctness' or superior logic of one way over another. (It's also very uncommon that anyone adhere even loosely to written standards when speaking naturally.)
I know all about this. All throughout the time I went to school and even occasionally now I get people accusing me of "wanting to be white "or "sounding white "when in reality i'm just a little more articulate and some and I have a pretty good vocabulary.
It's sad just how common this is..
I still get it till this day man... the world will never learn. jokes or not
I go through this everyday brother,keep your head up,and ignore them.
I can relate to this well, in fact I think ANYONE who didn't behave a certain way according to their color or culture because they were taught it's wrong, can be able to relate to this. Lol when I'm around people and they hear me speak and say jokingly, "You don't sound black" I smile and say, "why thank you my dear". If someone says "You sound like one of those white boys" I simply ask, "how do I speak black" or "what's black" or "have you heard Dr. King, Malcom X, Angela Davis etc speak before, would you say they were black and who do you think their speech more closely resembles? Mine or yours"? Be yourself people and love those around you, even when they don't love you, if what you're doing isn't harming anyone or taking their way of life from them DON'T give into the "culture" that you were thrust into if it's harmful to your self and your values.
Or you could say fuck off me nigga I ain't playing no games with you Lil boi
P.S joking don't come at me
Lol Dang, you know what, that would've been much quicker and easier to say?
he wasn't cast out by black people, he was picked on by children.
i experienced the exact same shit growing up. i grew up in the ghetto, had a real bad speech problem so in 3rd grade they sent me to speech therapy and i left therapy speaking"white" according to my "friends" who stopped hanging with me as time progressed because other kids said i sounded white.... ended up having to switch to a mixed races school because i was outcasted at my all black school.
You down with the Brown bro its all good, we have love for Hop.
"I'm dating a girl from Australia" ...after hearing Ill Mind of Hopsin 9.... yeesh
Listening to you talk about this makes me feel so much better! I remember someone telling me that I sound so white.
Since I wasn’t raised in a area people would call a hood, like other music that’s not rap, not like overpriced shoes like Jordans or like certain dishes and if I talk clear it’s not black apparently, like I’m suppose to say something a certain way due to my skin color. My skin color do not determine my character (personality, background, interest, knowledge, etc) only my features. We are not some monolith. Then they have the nerve to say I’m faking or code switching like I’ve never knew what that was till college. Like why would I want to fake and not be myself.

King Taurus lmfao marry one of their daughters and listen to what her parents will think about u then🤣🙈
Paulos Kidane Thats just a stereotype plus you’re confusing salvadorians to Mexicans
Everybody judges lol wtf world you live in
I've seen what Hopsin is talking about as far as blacks being devisive amongst ourselves. Reading the comments on this interview proves his point %100. We gotta stop acting like crabs in a barrel. Someone did point out one thing that was valid... personality does play a large part in acceptance.
I can relate for real I really hate when people say I don’t act black because of the way I talk
being educated in how you present yourself is very important......some of the names these mother give to their children are an embarrasment.... sad for what these children go through in most black communities today........
I honestly doubt it was because he "spoke proper". They prolly didn't like him because of the way he acted.
Yung Lord yeah probably why no one features on his songs.
Sanji Allen Damn, I didn't even know that....I guess I never thought about it either. Who in their right mind would work with him? I'm guessing someone who's career is either over or not ever beginning....like someone from Love and Hip Hop XD XD XD
Jonathan Perez Yawn. A lot of people have their own label. I can go to any hood/projects and find a ton of rappers/labels.....Next
Your profile picture is the artwork for Mick Jenkins Song Alchemy !!! #mickjenkins
What it is ? Is he grew up around whites adopted their style and then when he came around black people there wasn't any connection because he wasn't raised around them and didnt conduct himself to the culture they're familiar with which left him out of the circle and labeled him to be different and will lead you to be a target to be victim of bullying. Then whites being who their known to be didn't accept him either because whites don't like black people, and they truly don't like a black person who may attempt due to certain unfortunate circumstances passes themselves off as white or take on white personal characteristics. It's sad but it isn't his fault there's millions of cases like these and it all stems from the parents self hatred which leads to the children suffering for it socially within a cruel society like this one. I advocate race division, we all should be around our own.
that's the reality for young black men. Anything outside the norm will get you stigmatized.
Me being from the Bay(Richmond) and being actual N.W.A fan & having avidly listened to Ruthless Records entire catalog(solo work, features, D.O.C, J.J Fad, Above the Law) since 7th grade, I was always treated with standoffish-ness.
I wasn't necessarily an outcast, but I wasn't gettin' all the breezies neither. I bump Too $hort, Mac Dre, Mistah Fab's greater catalog & get treated like a weirdo for not being exclusively into party music.
Everyone has always thought I was from LA cuz I opt for slim fit Dickies & nikes canvas shoes over distressed Jean's & Jordan's.
It's frustrating that white dudes are afforded freedom of character/expression, yet Black men's personalities are constantly boxed in by fucked up platitudes.
I think he still sounds Afro American black.
I'm speaking as a black British man, now.
The emphasis on different vowels in a word is what helps to still distinguish it.
When he said the word 'disowned' dis-OWNED me is coded as black to me.
A white person of American nationality would have each vowel of equal emphasis as the standard accent with Southern accents having a different sound again, such as: "dis-OwenED" me. So the second syllable has almost another letter sandwiched between, that of the additional "e".
"Umma just do me.. I'm going to just be my own person..." ...EXACTLY.
I can relate... My friends, family, even managers say I sound like a white man on the phone.
always felt for Hopsin. smart guy. talented. doesn't get credit. great rapper.. but not a street guy. just rap about your life. he's super talented though
There are a lot of black kids who talk like him.. he's just different & that's cool but there are some black young people into skateboarding, anime & rock n roll. He was probably more of an introvert & just wasn't good at making friends.
@@Ultimate_316 and maybe he was misunderstood because he was introverted..
No matter what your skin color do what you want, just don't offend others and respect people, I like hopsin doesn't come off so ghetto, the world need more Hopsins, and less lil Wayne's.
I went through the same shit, just because I pronounce my words proper as a child and not slang... it just told me where some blacks were in the head and also whites, but now it's like keep it professional at work, and whatever at home, but like he said just do you fuck what another person think, you can cure cancer and people will still hate you for it... #realtalk
I get along with Mexicans the best as well
Yeah
What's your deal against black brothers and sisters.
@@traviscarter1023 not an issue, I just get along better with Mexicans in general. That's just how it is for me.
You can speak properly and still sound like a black man which he does. Talking white is the whole accent, behavior, rhythm and everything. I think he just wasn't cool enough for the black kids, not cause he speaks properly.
20willsdude 100% correct
IAin't Nervous OMG you're the first person I've seen on here to say 'proper-ly' properly. Including Vlad - or whoever titled this vid.
gifteddiva lol gotta say it properly
IAin't Nervous Even though every white dude I know has a different accent, behavior, and rhythm...
il100374 they might be from different places but generally speaking suburban white kids sound alike in my experince.
I get this every I go. If I'm not speaking blabbering loud mouth nonsense then I get hated on hard asf... Ruins my life in a lot of ways
Not sure why anyone would have a problem with how someone talks, so long as it's understandable.
Its sad, I go throw the same shit sometimes... I heard that a lot when I was a kid but, I'm from the real hood... If your mind can't go past the hood, you will never win. That's a fact
speaking properly*
Vineeth Varghese 🙄 thank yooooou... somebody finally said it... whew!...
You know in England, they say “speaking proper” and “proper speak”? The English invented the English language. Americans can’t have a say in how to speak English, when they don’t know themselves.
When he talked about his girlfriend, my heart stopped.
Were any of you called Oreo too?
Same way with me I don't talk Hood so I hang out with the nerds and such
And it's alot better tbh
I relate

So much respect for him. He is overlooked in the hip hop community.
They're just jelly....hopsin is very cool, not scared to be his own person. Everyone is a follower these days....*sigh*
The irony of the title of this video, against the content of the video.
I knew black chicks hated this dude! He's too damn smart!
Can't believe how many people went through this like I did, I used to get pissed I don't care any more
love this dude! you want to talk about real? hopsin is as real as it gets.
ppl have a hard time with this...I constantly hear that he's corny. .corny ? he's a breath of fresh sir, exactly what mainstream hip hop needed, cuz boy did Chicago come in and just fuck everything up. hopsin Is true hip hop and I'm really glad I found him. dudes got bangers.
Is it me or is it that his teeth are doing the talking for him instead of his lips?

You ever meet a Brother from the Islands? From Nigeria, From Soutj Africa, From California, From the south and from NY. Black people are not a monolith and are different. Environment, social class, location all plays a part. Regional influences dictate syntax , grammar and Delivery. DEMOCRATS want to lump everyone together. Dont even sweat it Hopsin you do you. Also Anthony Jousha the Boxer aint black cause he sounds like James .bond This slave mentality. Field vs house, hair texture and colorism all tools.

they outcasted this dude because he is weird af not because he spoke proper

Hard to say, color contacts, slits in the brows, the shit he talks about. It's hard to pinpoint but i heard he was a good rapper I listened to some of his stuff couldn't get with it
Raziel You don't even know this dude. Your just as bad as the black peole who said he wasn't black just because he didn't act like them.
*****
U must be white. It's cool if he not weird to u, but don't get mad at me cuz i think he's weird, it ain't even a bad thing nowadays
Raziel See this the shit I'm talking about. You just proved my point exactly. I'm not even white....You don't know me and you don't know him. god damn kid
*****
chill bruh u mad cuz i called him weird, yet if I was a rapper and i had music out u could listen to it and have the right to call me weird based off of that. U ain't gotta know a mf personally to think they're weird. U just getting defensive cuz i assume this is one of your favorite rappers and u wanna take up for him since i spoke my piece.
yeah i think you was just a weirdo period . but at the end of the day he doing what he LOVE so he winning in life foreal
Rich O Flare bro look at ya damn profile pic shut the fuck up u a herb
I feel you. Our own people outkasted us back in the 90% for speaking properly.
What irks me the most is when black people don't use past tense verbs when texting...They never use "-ed" and it makes me cringe when reading their texts!!!!
T.I speaks properly, think it's just how this dude acted
***** dude must not have ears to think ti speaks properly lol
Tip usually speaks properly in his interviews, but not when he's swaggering and rapping.

Funny because me and my cousin and a lot of mexicans love Hopsin 🤣🤣
As a black man, I get clowned for speaking properly, I grew up in a diverse community, but I'm just educated and it really sucks. But I can definitely relate to this guy tho. We both experience the same footsteps!
dislikesquad POWER UP!!!!!!!!!!!!
you sound like a guy I don't give a fuck about
you responded to my post idiot. You aren't so bright are you?
naw bru, you do talk like a white boy. Malcolm x and jonnie Cochran spoke properly. and didn't sound like no white boys. its the tone of your voice not the proper pronounciation.we live in a very eurocentric society. a lot of black people still think they(whites ) are always correct. but yea, you can speak properly without sounding like some stereotypical Disney channel white kid.4real.
+Jose Mohammed plenty
Lmao what is speaking like a white boy , like?? Smh u niggaz give black people a bad name.
I enjoyed the video and respect the story, but is that really bad lighting, a grill, or are his teeth just really yellow?
damn couldn't even get Vlad to interview him
get that nose away from the sun, man
this dude is mad corny. black folks are not a monolith. tell us sumthin we don't know.
faqu529 Ummm are you even listening to what he's saying??
ooh trust me most of u are
Not a fan of his music, but I can respect and relate where he is coming from. Its weird paradox...
When people said I "talked white",that shit would crack me the fuck up. I was always chosen to order shit over the phone because everyone in studio was drunk. They would say: Hand Sean the phone,he sounds the whitest.LMFAO!
Coooon trainn is cominnnngggggg
Sorry Dislike Squad, but I gotta break ranks and smash the hell out of that thumbs down button, There's just somethin about this brotha I do not like.
Yeah maybe it wasn't just how he talked, but so? Some people act like if your not only into hiphop or sports then your not black, or rather they talk shit if your black and into things like heavy metal, punk, anime, comics, etc anything nerdy or counter culture if your black people will always act surprised for some reason, smh
that's fucked up man... you can't tell he took that hard and probably still does now
Black slang pisses me off. When most black rappers get interviewed they don't fucking say anything. It's maddening. A bunch of broken English and slang and nothingness. That's something I respect about Tupac. He was so articulate and could speak so intelligently and actually fucking say something. Black rappers go out of their way to sound dumb as fuck. Just "woopty-woo" and "doin' my thang, you know what I'm sayin'?" I have nothing against African americans, I'm not racist at all; this just fucking bugs me so much. Why the fuck would anybody want to listen to anything you have to say, whether in a song or an interview, if you're just trying more so to be "cool" and perpetuate negative stereotypes? I'm not a Hopsin fan, but I respect that this guy can be articulate and intelligent. Intelligence is not a white thing, it's a human thing. If you choose to be that way. I personally like to learn things and be able to speak on a multitude of topics. I feel like I can be included in more discussions and conversations with more people and contribute my own perspectives and ideas, etc. In summary, it's not the 90's and Death Row is long dead. Please stop with this gangster street slang and broaden and enrich your vocabulary.
+vodka martini LOL classic my man! you are funny as shit. I see myself in you (no pun intended) as much as people like to take shit out of context and switch shit up. "doin' my thang you know what I'm sayin'?"
