what do you like you seem like u hate on all
Please post more. Idc what songs you do i just need more videos to binge. Im rewatchrd all your episodes twice now.
You need to review one of two people Aesop Rock or K.A.A.N.
Dude why are your videos volume so low?! i love you but its getting difficult to hear you!
Did the man who invented record labels get signed to a record label?
That was going to be my joke, but thanks for the great timing!
Bruh... 🤯
cremetangerine82 you lyin ass😂😂😂😂
Hmmm ok then
Thing is dude they don't get better at not exploiting, they get better at finding people who won't complain about being exploited, people, who often are used to not having anything.
A cycle of ignorance feeds the Greed Machine
"In an industry where people love what they do so much, they do it for free..."
Explains the shitty rappers we have. People don't think things over are easy to control.
The fact that this and Happy ending were made by the same guy is maddening
bc artists aren't allowed to have fun, right?
Wow. I had to look up the song.. God that was awful
It's like remembering that Eminem made "big weenie" 😬
Why does happy ending get so much hate? It's not supposed to be taken seriously
@@lurkzie and that's why it gets hate. people feel rappers should be 100% serious all the time.
Fun fact: The co-owner of Hopsin’s old Funk Volume Label-Damien Ritter-is actually the older brother of one of the other artists off the label, SWIZZZ (Real name: Justin Ritter).
Bruh, I kinda feel like this is common knowledge. Maybe its just me
@@chrishernandez2490 the I'm so tired remix is probably hopsins best shutdown ever, amazing response to automatic
I assumed the point of the Osteen quote was how tone deaf it proved. It sounded like the sort of thing he was told to do with his friends -- that they were dragging him down and he needed to reevaluate the friendships to further his career...when it was really the execs who were trying to drive a wedge between him and his friends so they could isolate and abuse him (a classic abusive partner tactic that I've NEVER experienced firsthand, nosirree...).
Yeah, that's what I thought.
Take it from a guy who lives in Houston even fellow Christians don’t like Joel Osteen, but a good quote is still a good quote.
Yeah it’s a good quote but yeah Joel osteen isn’t really liked by the Christian community respected yes but agreed with bo
@0ddMonk3y trust me man I know I live in Houston I know he didn’t open his church
@@georgethemonkeydrummer5598 preaching to the choir, I don’t like the guy even if he’s a fellow Christian, but the quote is still a good quote is all I’m getting at
Enough thousands of people like him. Or he wouldn't be rich and famous and have so many followers.
But wouldn’t the quote be squandered by the actions of the person who made it if it completely contradicts them
Now I want to see Anthony Fantano and Rap Critic have a conversation about Hopsin, with Rap Critic defending his skills and Fantano not agreeing at all 😂
Melon is hyper critical and overly negative a lot of the time imo
@@cheezburgrproduction I don't think he's hyper critical or overly negative. He gives albums the benefit of the doubt usually, and has given even pop records more positivity than other critics. Honestly I think Rap Critic is more critical than him. Melon has liked some trap without substance that Rap Critic would never like. Not saying this to diss on RC though, I really enjoy and relate to his more critical approach.
Personally, I think they would probably agree on a lot of points if we are talking solely about Hopsin’s potential. Frequently Melon’s critique is not on Hopsin’s skill with rapping or beats (the former he has tended to praise Hopsin for), but his pen game which is where he and Rap Critic would probably but heads. One reason Melon and others (fans or not) have paid so much attention to Hopsin for a long time is that he has seemed like somebody who should be great, but, for those who didn’t become fans, hasn’t lived up to it in hilarious ways. For me, Hopsin is a disappointment but one who is fun keeps tabs on, though No Shame is one of the most unpleasant albums I’ve ever heard.
Hasn't rap critic also roasted the shit out of Hopsin before? I mean his review of "Hop is Back" contains a lot of things not just about the song but Hopsin in general.
@@ozkan576 Yeah, it felt like he didn't go deeper/ignored the lyricism and just made some lazy jokes for the Hopsin detractors.
Hmm I don't really have a problem with the priest/megachurch guy quote. A good point can come from the worst people, the important part is "is the message useful to me".
Maybe the quote is meant to be taken as a bad thing?
He also has the hat of his own label in the end.
diss records are one reason i dont understand labels ripping off artists but this is also the genre where people get shot over petty stuff all the time how are there not more shot label execs.
Damn, it's been forever from the last time I watched a Rap Critic video! Feels good to jump back in, sincerely this prairie raised Canadian white boy.
Ready for McDonald the Scottish camera man to become a recurring character
Yess this is my favorite Ill Mind. Super excited
8 is the best, then 7, then 5, then 6 in my opinion
It's kind of silly because dude was apparently throwing a temper tantrum about not wanting to do press, meet n' greets and all the shit a touring rapper needs to do.
“Apparently” but if he did maybe it was because he wasn’t getting paid from the other meet and greets and touring he had already done
I've waited so long for you to make this video
I've been following you for years now! I love your thoughts on all the songs you review! Ill Mind 8 is one of my faves of Hopsin's.
Great review!
I don’t really have a problem with the Joel olstein sample, personally. I mean, people quote people who have done horrible things all the time. Every other yearbook quote is a Lennon quote. Not to bring it too close to home, in hip hop, Elijah Muhammad is quoted A LOT. And I don’t think Elijah Muhammad is a monster, but I don’t necessarily think he was a GOOD person either. I don’t really have a problem with people taking inspiration from him, he was a wise man despite some of his faults. But I can see why someone like Olstein, someone MODERN might be a little close to home. I’d love to hear what anybody else thinks on that!
The problem with Hops is that he's full of shit so often that it's hard to really take him seriously when he talks about this kind of shit. He's one of those guys who spends so much time saying everyone else causes all of his problems that when a track like this drops it's hard not to wonder how innocent he actually is in all this.
People keep saying a good quotes a good quote but a lot of people have said the same thing? I think RC is critiquing that Hopsin chose this specific one.
Maybe for context on the diss directed towards lupe fiasco: here you got the skate culture colliding with the rap culture, but in the skate community people who pretend to be skaters when in reality they don't know shit about it are, or at least were HATED and people do actually care about calling out posers (at least from my experience). So that's probably where hopsin is coming from considering that skating seems to be a big part of his life
Fast forward 4 years later Hopsin and Came finally ended their beef
You are speaking facts, but calling out posers is a pretty big part of skateboarding tbh
I miss the old rap critics 😪 with the funny skits like the counting money with Rick Ross and when you used to upload a lot more I know maybe your not feeling it but I miss your old content. But otherwise much love.
Rap critic! You did a great review! Are you back?
Please be back
I'm a little surprised you didn't bring up the line about how Dame was going to use Dizzy to replace Hopsin, since that is what happened. Stillmovin was the rebranding of FunkVolume and from the looks of it, it isn't doing as well as when Hopsin was on board. Barely any new uploads on their TH-cams.
For the record, this song was released before the Osteen scandal happened
Never stop making these I miss vids like this
The last few rc reviews have there thumbnails upside down. Is that on purpose?
love your vids been watchin for years keep it up homie :)
Joel olstein? Shit I thought it was Dr Phil with a voice modulator 🤣
Still think I'll mind 7 is the best, just cause it reflects my personal experience
Is there any way to watch your “top 8 rap songs 2011 and 2012” they aren’t on TH-cam
edit: im pretty sure he started doing the best list in 2014
@@play-s-_______-osu Pretty sure that 2011 was the first one and where hopsin won (2012 also), not all to sure tho
@@ollepalmquist5313 damn now im sad i never saw those videos
@@play-s-_______-osu yeah feel the same
People reuploaded them
love what you do!
Ahhhh the good old hopsin days
Are you scared to cover Hopsin's Good Ending?
That would be fun to see
Do you mean Happy Ending?
Scared of what? Lmfao.
He already did right after it came out on the Goin' Off Podcast. They covered his shitty response to people calling him out about it too.
@@ManOutofTime913 God damn, I just had to go back and remind myself, I forgot about that shit for a damn good reason.
I know it's a minor thing sand not the main thrust of the critique, but I'd take another look into the skateboarding line about Lupe Fiasco because a significant portion of the skate community loved Lupe because of his skateboarding odes. Now there's a lot of people who will tell you that nobody expects skating rappers to skate well any more than they did the skate punks back in the 90's. However, Hopsin had cred as being actually good at skating per the pros (coming from Tony Hawk no less). The lyricism of that line is... Not great, but the attack was actually pretty heavy, specifically hammering at the parasocial relationship between the artist and a significant portion of his fan base directly.
whose gonna tell rap critic that there was a whole beef that developed over lupes kick push song, and how he doesnt skate board, compton Terry actually made a diss song about it lmao
About. Damn. Time.
you need better echo blocking in that room
Thanks, RC!
Bro your last two thumbnails were upside down lol
Man Hopsin looks weird grown up more now!
I shat myself but it's ok because Rap Critic uploaded
Change your drawers
@@KhayJayArt don't have to. Because Rap Critic uploaded
@@thestanman1486 🤘
Reminder that Hopsin is 35. He's the hip-hop equivalent of a guy who buys beer for teenagers because no one his age thinks he's cool.
DISRESPECTFUL. Hospin is a great person and overall you're youtube comment comes off as bitter. I'll mind series will always be Amazing.
@0ddMonk3y smug? Condescending? Self-satisfying? Delusional? Egomaniacal? Let me know if I'm getting close
@@jamesduncan6729 facts
yo i rarely buy music but i buy hopsin ESPECIALLY HIS ILL MIND SERIES!!!!!
like you said from the jump he was after the record executive head lol
mad funny
I'm surprised you liked the song like that I love it
Fight the power
was expecting amazon
Eh, not a fan of Hopsin, but I am glad more people are calling out shady record deals. The fact that they pick up kids off the street and get them to sign away everything for a fraction of what it's worth (leaving most musicians, rappers especially) gilded and penniless is pretty evil.
Yep, Dave chappelle : unforgiven
Solid, I'll check it out
Haven't heard this guy's name in a while
Do I want to know why Hopsin would release a video about making a scooter cart for his camera?
It was I'll mind part 2.... It was how he makes his videos
And then he joined 300 Ent before feeling fucked over by them. So he’s kinda 0-3
Nice vid
cool
Omg I can’t wait
We Urangan
Ngl I soured on hopsin after the ill mind about his son , he handle that shit relly poor
Believe it ir not, but Hopsin and Dame became Friends again! If you dont believe me, go check Funk Volume TH-cam channel (Thats right, 100% no lies) dope review btw. 🔥
Do Canibus - i Honor u
Oh boy
This is like, the only good Hopsin song
Algorithm
I swear I’ve seen this one before.. is this a reupload?
You probably thinking of fly
Hpp
1 min of ads for a 7 and half min video. pogn't.
Hopsin is great when he has solid passion on his tracks, but sometimes I think he tries too hard to be a woke rapper. Ill Mind of Hopsin 5&8 are him being real but there's a lot that feel like a Jaden Smith tweet
jesus christ why do hiphop pop and rocl labels suck so much. rarely see this kinda problem in the edm scene
Where's your bars?
th-cam.com/video/RKDf-4Je8RY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=YjQAV-_c4CjhRgBl
a bit late isnt it
This was a request
Hopsin is so corny and out of touch
No wonder RC likes him
This was the first Hopsin track I ever listened to.
Is it just me or is it really hard to focus on what the guy is saying? After a while I just zone out, and for a while now I couldn't figure out what it is - but it's not me, and I have a theory of what the issue here is, let me expand on that. Monsieur rap critic, on the slim chance that you see this, please do something with this as I otherwise really enjoy what you have to say about music.
So my theory is that he's reading directly from the script, and because of that he doesn't take the pauses that come with natural speech, and so you miss the emphasis that comes with those natural pauses. Todd in the Shadows for instance, talks waaay slower, and with more pauses - and so you listen more attentively. On top of that, when you're reading out loud you often emphasize sentences in a very predictable way, like a beat, which makes the viewer zone out even more
Hopsin is lame now
Rap Critic, please make jokes, for the love of god, be funny again, don’t be so serious
I miss the RC reviews like the one about Jadakiss - Why, and his Rick Ross skit about counting money. His Peanut Butter Jelly review forced me to audibly laugh
I just watched the video and I dont even remember any jokes before the very end, just playing a clip, explaining the song, and saying it's good. I dont mind when RC gets serious, but I haven't watched in forever because it feels like 5 minute videos with that formula is all he did for ages. Sad it doesn't seem to have changed much :/
Yeah gotta say something has sure sucked all the humor right out of him I'm betting it's when he left Channel Awesome and probably wanted to be taken more serious as a music reviewer
Rap critic. Sits on the sides, making comments. But never dropped a verse worthy.
Hahahhaha leach.
th-cam.com/video/RKDf-4Je8RY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=YjQAV-_c4CjhRgBl
7:30 minute video with the entire first minute being an ad. RC getting lazy
Hopsin is so bad lmao
Rap critic, you seriously need to take a hard look at McDonald's and realize that any position sub-management is NOT supposed to be a job that sustains an adult as their lifetime career... It's a minimum wage burger flipping job, not a job you keep until you retire.
Fun fact. McDonald's can still have a profitable business while paying their workers living wage. I know this because they do it in Europe. So when they say it isn't possible, they know they are lieing. They can't do it if competitors won't, but legislation demanding higher wages, would not put any of these fast food chains out of business.
Record labels are employers. They spend a lot of money on their artists that the artist would have to spend otherwise. If you don’t like your boss, quit and find a new one. The owner of your label would be rich either way so you aren’t really paying his bills are you? Artists are some of the most selfish people on the planet.
Quit and find a new one? Damn one plantation to the next. No artist should join unions and make demands.
@@mrlofi333 Rapping isn’t skilled labor. There are hundreds of popular rappers now. If they want more money, they will have to EARN it, not just demand it from their bosses.
@@abiyoyo9831 This is the exact same crap people use to justify screwing over ground level employees nationwide. If your income stream can't exist without a kind of worker, then you have no right to take most of the margin from that worker. More temporarily embarrassed millionaires going to bat for the people they'll never be.
@@alphajackal6648 Thank you. It's no good to even argue. Right is right and wrong is wrong.
Record labels contacts are not like employers, the contract is more stricter preventing easy leave.
Id be selfish too if my entire lively hood was on the line, emphasis on ENTIRE.
jesus christ why do hiphop pop and rocl labels suck so much. rarely see this kinda problem in the edm scene
