Man, Hopsin is real. He has enough respect for himself and his art that he risked his whole team for the long run. Much respect for this man, keep it up Marcus!

[@hokagejason4732]

Replying to a seven year old comment I know, but Hopsin had zero respect and that's why Funk Volume died. Hop shot his own career in the foot and also screwed over the other FV artists with this crap. Not to mention dragging dame's name through the dirt. You should do some more research into what happened, it's seven years later and hopsin and dame have publicly reconciled and talked about what happened. It's about a four hour video but tldr; Dame was a damn good manager and a good person to have on your side. He footed the bill to get FV up and running. He paid hopsins rent. The infrastructure at funk volume was great, and every single former FV artists wishes hopsin didn't ruin it for them.

If you guys are pissed about Cruz interrupting him a lot, just watch the other inteviews hopsin did on djvlad, or knocksteady, or whoever interviewed him. He says the same story. I kind of like the interruptions, cuz he goes a bit more in depth sometimes, but I will admit it's a bit annoying. Also, the fact that Hop made 85% of the revenue is not surprising. I like Dizzy, Jarren, SwizZz & Hoppa, but damn, Hopsin IS funk volume. He made it, and this whole situation is so perfect. Even the Jokerr called out Dame years ago. Remember that shit? Permanent Enemy? Or Sidekick? Man, it's all true.
