It takes care of a lot of stereotypes and points them out clearly. Most rap songs these days are meaningless, but Hopsin proves otherwise. There are a lot a lot of people that could care less about rap. He is not just rapping about some pointless argument. This seems to be a problem that is very prevalent in today’s society and Hopsin is calling everyone out on this issue. Hopsin wants to know what the point of living is, if someone doesn’t have a plan in life. He also says, “Do you even have any goals? ” He is talking about the lazy kids and young adults that just don’t care what they do for the rest of their life. His telling her that she royally messed up and that she has to deal with a problem she could have avoided. For example, Hopsin tells a girl in his song, “One of these niggas got you pregnant and you can’t raise it, but you caused it, your actions made a fat statement. If it is fun to do at the moment, people automatically do it without thinking ahead about what the consequences could be. People just don’t care about what they do anymore.

To me, that is a way of showing intelligence. Actually nothing in the song is ever repeated. Most raps nowadays have a chorus while Hopsin’s songs do not. The beat is very repetitive to allow for the same pace. He needs to be able to fit a lot of words into a 5 minute song. First off, the beat of the song is very important to the way Hopsin expresses his ideas. His lyrics might sound like they’re just words, but in fact they actually have a meaning.Įven though it is a rap song it actually is very complex, not just some idiot talking about nothing important over a crappy beat. In the “I’ll Mind of Hopsin,” Hopsin is trying to convey that the younger population of today’s society is pretty much the most messed up and corrupt group of people ever with very complicated lyrics and a repetitive beat. For the most part, classical music is all instrumental, but it can still tell a story or have an idea behind it.
