Hopsin

The music I do and the fans I attract? I got crazy fans.

I just want people to know the reality, and I want people to see the world as it really is - the world is our playground, and we can do anything we want to do on it. Everyone else needs to see it that way - there are no real rules.

I feel like God is just telling me what I need to do, and He's showing me the light.

I've been working on my relationship with God, and when you work on your relationship with God, it gets to a point where you don't want to walk down the sinful road anymore.

My album, 'No Shame,' will give my fans an extremely real and heartfelt experience of what I have been going through in my personal life.

I do hip-hop music, and I've gotten famous off of hip-hop music, and I know that I'm successful, and I've created my own definition of success, what success means to me. So the hip-hop world is all just really fake to me.

I don't get mentioned in too many things that deal with hip-hop, really, because I'm not really friends with anybody. Not in the way where I'm enemies with them; I just don't meet people.

I just want to get to that point where I'm able to fully create music that's good lyrically and quality-wise as far as the way it's knocking and everything.

I think I make good beats, but when it's not mastered correctly, it can definitely make it sound like it's not a good beat, and that has been an issue sometimes with me in the past.

I love animals.

I was a rapper who was 13 or 14 years old at one point, and it was a dream. I used to see videos of other rappers around the world, and I used to hope that I could be like that one day.

Trinidad Jame$ is the most garbage piece of rapper that has ever existed on the face of the earth.

I am getting all this fame, but I don't absolutely know what I should rap about.

I don't really want to rap about money.

The last time I put out 'Raw,' that boosted me up in the underground to one of the top underground artists who was making moves and touring around the world.

I'm anti-drugs, 100 percent. I don't like drugs or alcohol. I never did either of the two, and I don't plan on it.

I'm all about the natural energy people have and having it without enhancement.

I have the freedom to say what I want to say.

Kendrick Lamar is not a whack rapper, not at all. Do I think he's a super-mega-lyricist? Not really.

On the second verse of 'Tears to Snow,' I talk about rappers and the way they view me now, rappers in the underground world who I might've know for a little bit, or they might've opened a show for me. A lot of them talk crap about me behind my back, and they'll smile in my face.

Every song that is a Hopsin song, I 100 percent made it. Nobody helped me. There was no producer to say, 'Hey, put the beat like this... ' It was all me. If the song was wack, then the song was wack. If it's dope, it is what it is.

I always wanted a pug. After seeing 'Men in Black,' the little pug in that, I had to get one.

The only reason skaters hang around this guy is because he's Lil Wayne, but they don't like him. I've talked to skaters; nobody likes Wayne as a skateboarder.

The brain is so intricate. It can do so many things, and people sleep on it. It's not just a piece of meat in there - it can do so much.

Nobody brainwashed me with God in my head or anything. I just saw this new reality, and I felt like I've been blinded, and I finally took the blindfolds off.
