Fort Collins got me through a huge moment in my life where I was depressed and felt myself running away from life. Been a fan since Raw but that song is another level 🖤

[@jaimesmith2266]

Depression is absolutely no joke i been dealing with it off and on for years i just pray and try to stay positive hopefully hopsin is in a better spaces mentally 🙏

[@agonleed3841]

depression is a joke lol. I can look at a point in my life where I was close to being actually depressed and I remembered the reality of the situation. but while going through it, I didn't realize it. so, yes depression. but I also saw how I ignored the realities. it was me WANTING sympathy and accolades and such and such. working for that or others but not for myself. be HONEST and depression, or.the idea of being in it, is a joke. and to say you go on and off of it, is the biggest joke. stop. Just stop. it really is that simple. love for YOUR life and yourself.

@@agonleed3841 You have no idea what depression is.

[@agonleed3841]

@@1BergerVongSchlauigkeitHer 🤣sure. no for real. i do. I just don't allow it to come back. I've dealt with it. and it's crazy to look back and see that I couldn't realize what was.happening. but..once you're out and you realize it, how does it make sense to say it happened again? now, xan you feel bad again? not want to do stuff? be angry and upset for a long time? yes. I feel like too many people are calling out depression on things they just are upset about. and if you've dealt with it before and realized it, you definitely wouldn't allow that to happen again. cause it's not a good state to revisit. so..people either calling it out for sympathy points or sympathy points

Easily one of the most important Hip Hop podcasts

Hopsin and Kweli never thought I would see but we here, Thanks and love to the People's Party🔥✌

[@Brandon84J]

Hopsin, my man... YOU are more important than your music. You'll have that memory for the rest of your life, that little glimpse of peace, just for a moment

[@BabyOfTheLord]

I need help was my favorite song by him for a long while...so relatable

[@djtimspaceking8306]

hopsin ill mind of hopsin 7 is my favorite song ever he did that's like my number one

[@hollowsquadS51]

That song still hits hard, the anger, the emotion an feelin in that track. 🔥

[@TheAllianceEnt]

Maaan, can't wait to see Hopsin's conversation.

[@thekingsdale2899]

Damn I miss this dude. He really pioneered this, he really doesn't have shit else to prove.

[@rahimkhakee7750]

Feel you, thanx for breaking the talk G!

[@bethfouty9924]

That track hits home. Hard. For sure. So thankful for you... For spreading truth, and reminding us all that we aren't alone with the struggles we carry. 🖤🖤

That's some real talk right there.

[@lucycross705]

Thank you for being real!;I have treatment resistant depression diagnosis.

[@OWXMUSIC]

I hope they discuss ill Mind 7, that talk with God in the desert is a masterful song about struggling with religion and belief.

Hopsin?! What a pleasant surprise!!

[@Aaronlovesmusic970]

I used to talk shit about the Fort Collins incident because i wasn't aware of what was going on for a while till later. i was so stoked to go and it sucked cool you're talking about it, Talib don't shout out Foco we're already so damn overpopulated its shitty now for us locals especially in neighboring towns gentrification destroyed us yo.

[@TheAlkebulanTrust]

It's incredible how some songs are a cry for help but some don't understand that till later. But the good news at least music is an outlet for the creator to heal. Music is therapy for the listeners too...absolutely true or absolutely correct?

[@SmokeOne89]

Hopsin is my homies little brother. Pan City represent.

[@303TAG303]

Need a collab now!

[@az4x4]

Hopsin is the Man. Always respected the dude and his talent. Kweli... Totally different story. He used to be one of my favorites. But he can't get through a conversation without pulling up the race card. You can tell he made hop uncomfortable when he tried that shit also.... Yo talib, grow up my man. The only people infatuated with the color of someone's skin is you and your boy in the White House.

I’m over here thinking about his recent possible beef he gotten with the young token really lost my taste with this guy because that’s not the energy I want to spread

[@MantisRapture]

I really, really don't understand what this man is wearing.

[@vanman757]

He's got one of the most cheesiest smiles i've ever seen in my life 🤐 He should keep his trap shut like 👆🏻 that emoji... In fact, for that matter he's just a cheesey mo fo full stop .

Depression is for weak minded individuals. Life's too damn short to be depressed all the time. Drink a beer, socialize, find what makes you happy. ENJOY YOUR LIFE.

ignorant comment

[@TheDunks209]

@@MrWindmills explain yourself

[@agfromdai.e3806]

You’re super ignorant. Tell someone who literally has NOTHING, HAD NOTHING or NO ONE ever growing up to “just be happy”. “Enjoy your life” wow thanks, people with depression are now cured

[@MrWindmills]

@@TheDunks209 Another ignorant comment. Go check yourself

[@BabyOfTheLord]

That's what I said when I was young but when it hits you, you can't control it, it's like being in the cold with no gear on...you are going to eventually get cold. Not everyone can just stop serges of depression, that's how I know you are young. Unless you're just trying to sound hard like everyone mostly does on here🙄 It's in the damn brain. Tell someone suffering from epilepsy to just stop and control their seizures without medication...smh get real

Jesus is the answer sir

[@VanillaGorilla7]

Nope, thats a fairy tale.

[@SmokeOne89]

The name Jesus did not exist when He walked the earth. Lol

[@logice350]

@@SmokeOne89 that’s because they called him Yeshua which is Hebrew for Jesus .

[@biscuitdunker3948]

Jesus really looks like him n his dad are doing a good job saving humanity. The bible was wrote all those yrs ago by some dude eating peyote. Bk then its probably understandable to believe it. Because they were so stupid. But 2022 come on dude
