Line #8 YMMV/Hopsin


1	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: "Nocturnal Rainbows" is universally considered to be among his finest work.
2	* BrokenBase:
3	** ''Knock Madness'' has many split with some calling it awful, corny trash while others calling it a good release that simply does not stack up well compared to ''Raw''.
4	** "Ill Mind of Hopsin 7" is pretty divisive as well. He's either expressing doubts and questions about his beliefs which most people of faith will experience at some point, or he's starting to be caught up in "the life" and losing sight of what he stood for.
5	** "Happy Ending" [[note]] A song about soliciting prostitutes in an Asian massage parlor complete with stereotypical accents. [[/note]] is ''easily'' one of the most outright racist songs in recent memory, something a white artist would be metaphorically eviscerated for writing and performing, and honestly sounds like a song Hopsin would criticize another rapper if they had written or performed it.
6	* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: He mentioned an incident where his mother called him to tell him that his dad was "proud of him for winning that award on MTV" when Tyler the Creator won best new artist.
7	* GrowingTheBeard: ''Raw'' is arguably a much more personal and unique product than Gazing At the Moonlight.
8	* HarsherInHindsight: In his song ''Baby's Daddy'' he says that he'll take the woman's baby, stuff it in a pillowcase and beat it. Fast forward to ''Ill Mind of Hopsin 9'' where he talks about the son he'll never get to see and that line becomes this trope.
9	* InsultBackfire: "No Words". While even his many detractors generally agreed with the basic message that he was trying to send, they nonetheless panned it as boilerplate Hopsin self-aggrandizing pretentiousness; in other words, for making fun of low-hanging fruit while also making music that was nowhere near as profound or insightful as he clearly thought it was.
10	* FandomRivalry: Between his fans and fans of Music/{{OFWGKTA}}.
11	* MemeticMutation: "Did the man who invented college go to college?"
12	* {{Narm}}: "Ill Mind of Hopsin 6" can be a bit over the top emotional to some.
13	* RetroactiveRecognition: Hospin collaborated with Music/TechN9ne before Hopsin got famous.
14	* TearJerker:
15	** "Heather Nicole" is a sincere, saddened apology to a woman he regrets mistreating. And it shows.
16	** "Ill Mind of Hopsin 6" is a song devoted to a friend of his who became addicted to drugs and ended up with his life in shambles, and Hopsin spends many verses in it saying he wished he had stepped in and stopped it when he could.
17	** "Ill Mind 7" also has shades of this.
18	** "Ill Mind 8", which went from "will never happen" to "awesome call-out track" in a hurry following the end of Funk Volume and launch of his new label Undercover Prodigy, becomes this as well with the following line at which point you realize what Hopsin had to leave behind:
19	--> "So good luck, [[TrueCompanions Jarren; Dizzy: Hoppa; SwizZz;]] I'm goin' solo."
20	* VindicatedByHistory: Not Hopsin himself, but an off-and-on friend of his. In 2013, alternative white rapper The Jokerr feuded with Hopsin and the Funk Volume crew, with several diss songs aimed at them, making the claim that he and Hopsin were once as close as brothers but he was cut out of Hopsin's life by Damien Ritter. Jokerr insisted that Ritter was a corrupt puppetmaster out to make a buck and didn't care about Hopsin or anyone else, yet Hop, the crew, and even their fans were unaware of his deception. Understandably, many fans of Hopsin and FV absolutely hated Jokerr because of this, accusing him of being [[YoureJustJealous being bitter and jealous of Funk Volume's success]]. He eventually apologized about attacking Hopsin and the others, yet maintained his insistence that Ritter was crooked. By summer 2015, Hopsin and Jokerr had patched things up enough for Jokerr to post a video of the two freestyling together.\
