Yo, him and I were classmates in high school in the valley. We had Woodshop and Hopsin showed up one day dressed up like a full on 40 year old Caucasian carpenter. 😅😅😂😂😂 Dress shirt and Wrangler jeans. Dude is a natural anti depressant.

[@Bradley-j6h]

Og OooG man this man creativity and rap delivery. Also learning and teaching about his life and learnings or experiences. Loved listening to this man still cant believe the bars. Lowkey, purge, bella ciao, picasso.... all the ill mind, bro keep sharing life with us, thank you in advance

[@mvpd98]

The Funk Volume era was the best

[@micahsilago801]

I miss it 😭

[@iNeedTwoPur]

I met them all except for SwizZz back in early 2012, and they were all the nicest guys. Went back to see Jarren 3 more times, and he's the coolest dude ever. I felt like a dumb ass, because I walked up to Dame thinking he was SwizZz and he goes "no I'm for real, I'm his brother. He couldn't come on tour." 😂😂

[@djhollywoodlive6910]

I agree

[@TopRivers]

Went to their concert. One of the best I've ever been to. I miss funk volume

hopsin has always been extremely articulate in how he describes the different aspects of being an artist it’s really impressive

[@Uhuru_Askari]

It's hilarious you think this is articulate or that Hopsin in any way is articulate.

[@twenty99]

@@Uhuru_Askari considering he has a disability & was in special classes growing up, it’s pretty fkn articulate as far as being descriptive in his explanation of what was going on.

[@Uhuru_Askari]

@@twenty99 I get what you're saying but millions of black males were misdiagnosed with mental disabilities in the 90's and early 2000's and still are being misdiagnosed, my cousin was one of em. There's nothing wrong with Hopsin and there never was, at least that's my opinion.

[@twenty99]

@@Uhuru_Askari just glad you have an opinion man we can agree to disagree. I don’t have a baseline threshold for intelligence or articulation I view it as relative to the person themselves

He’s been my favorite rapper seen I heard him, and he’s came off a lil goofy sometimes, but that’s the genius trying to be normal. He doesn’t stumble over words or have to think about what to say next. He’s on a different level that some just won’t ever reach.
