This video is off the beaten path. But I love the message. WARNING: NSFW langauge is in it so don’t blast it throughout your office.

Last time I saw a black guy surrounded by that many white folk he got a hole in one.

Shit just got real. Awesome song with a great message!

Coming from the the college educated blonde chick, who's boyfriend probably plays beer pong all week. B)

I don't think he's saying anything is wrong with going to college.. I think he's saying it's wrong when you go to college to party non-stop, don't try and fail out or just squeak by. At one point he says "read a book" and acquire skills. I'm pretty sure that happens for a lot of people at college… but these people are usually there because they want to be successful and not because mom and dad are forcing them to go.

Video has been pulled. TheChive effect?

Very few artists out there these days in this genre actually deliver a message. It seems like all of the songs are similar and are full of nothing but random metaphors and useless rymes.

all rap blows

This is absolutely SICK. Intense video, yeah, but the message is refreshing. Best rap song I've heard in…ever.

Great song. Wouldn't mind having the B&B blanket/poster thing on the wall either

too bad there are people that will go listen to this in their car like they're the shit and with him, and then not actually do anything different at the end of the day

Nobody is impressed they can beat themselves up and say they're hard for taking a beating in their lives

If anyone can bring rap BACK it's hopsin

rap never left. this has been the best couple of months for hip-hop in my opinion. El-P produced the two finest rap albums in the past decade with Cancer 4 Cure and Killer Mike's R.A.P. Music, Aesop Rock just killed it with Skelethon, B. Dolan's House of Bees vol. 2 and Danny Brown's Grown Up to mention just a few.

I'm sorry, what's the deal with people feelin Hopsin all of the sudden? He was weird and clever like 5 years ago, and really hasnt changed much. I don't really like the dudes style, I can appreciate that he is trying to be different, but it just comes off like he was born and raised in a Hot Topic and would probably be right at home as the opening act at an Insane Clown Posse concert in Barstow ro something.

I found Hospin through Tech N9ne's Am I a Psycho? Good stuff.

Meh.. if I wanted to go to church, I'd go. I don't need dude to "lead" me any where….

it's a miracle I was able to scroll past the chivette panties & socks ad to get to the comments.

Very true message. I am not really into rap music but that was really true and sad that people just don't understand what idiots they are sometimes. Thanks for sharing Chive.

Wow, I'm surprised, that was great.

Listen to "sag my pants" and hear him totally contradict himself

Robb

I'm pretty sure "Sag My Pants" is satire. If you actually listen to the lyrics, he is dissing all the "ass-holes" who sag their pant's, e.g., rappers now-a-days.

True

True, but people really only associate with the chorus so most folks will look at that and call him a hypocrite.

Nottot

Good stuff! Take a close look at the posters on the walls. They have a Keep Calm And Party On Poster behind the TV.
chris

Good stuff
