Hopsin: I Like Drake's Music, But I Can't Respect His Lyrics After Ghostwriting
Вставка

- After Drake's ghostwriting scandal broke Hopsin took to Twitter to reveal his thoughts on the situation, telling followers that Drake having a ghostwriter was "not hip-hop." The West Coast rapper expanded more on his thoughts during a recent interview with VladTV, where he told us that while he still really likes Drake's music, he can't respect his lyrics after the ghostwriting claims.
We also asked Hopsin about his thoughts on Royce Da 5'9" telling VladTV that he wrote Dr. Dre's verses for "The Message," and the former Funk Volume rapper told us that he has too much respect for Dre to hate on him for having a ghostwriter.
Check out more of the interview up top, and hear Hopsin share his thoughts on what he believes is true artistry.
this is how vlad interviews.
Vlad : what's your name
person: My name is Paul
vlad: yeah but don't you think that Carl is better?
paul: yeah but my name is..
vlad: I mean there are other names besides paul, ya-kna-mean?
paul: that's fine but My name is ..
vlad: no I feel ya, but don't you think like Ceasar is more powerful than paul?
W
W. if you get someone as passive aggressive as vlad and a good debater against him, he'd probably shit bricks
+T Cooper if its for Weak +100000
LMAO
Yeah paul is a great name
"the Idea of Drake" is a genius way to put it
+Sidenotez hopsin is a sharp breh
It doesn't make much sense
it does when you break down what he said
Troy Daniels should I cut it up into bitesize chunks for you?
+ivanduvok
Hopsin says "unless hes writing the lyrics/contributing in some way". Drake writes majority of his rhymes.
"idea of Drake" would make sense if someone else wrote ALL of his music for him like Dr Dre, P Diddy, Eazy E, etc.
Maybe Vlad doesn't write his own questions... #Exposed
+Bloodhunter0408 lollololol
+Bloodhunter0408 I cant respect that, I like the concept of Vlad but I cant respect that.lol
+Bloodhunter0408 I hope Vlad sees this lmao
who's this imposter you aint Vlad
who's this imposter you aint Vlad
Yeah but there's a difference between the Dre and Drake situation. Dre never thought of himself as a rapper or a lyricist. Everybody knows that Dre uses ghostwriters. He acknowledged that. How many time did Drake say that he's the greatest, the best etc. ? You can't call yourself the goat if you don't write your own shit. End of.
Emil Lončarevič that's what I mean like with easy e to Noone clowned him cause everyone knew cube was writing his shit if not cube than someone else but if ur saying ur the greatest and than get exposed for not writing ur lyrics and lying than ur a fraud and fake and u shouldn't b a rapper I would have more respect for drake if u always admitted he had a writer but he hasn't probably never will
Emil Lončarevič amen.
Agreed. If someone else is putting their words in your mouth the most you can say is you're the best performer or frontman
*@Emil* completely agree. That’s what Hopsin was attempting to say, but couldn’t find the words.
@@damiencurran2928 Also Easy E said in a track "Ice Cube writes the lines I say". Dre never claimed he wrote everything he says on a track. Drake clearly has denied ever using a ghostwriter. There is a big difference between the two.
Vlad: you're not making the beats?
Hopsin: actually I am.
Vlad: All the beats?
Hopsin: anything I rap on I made.
Vlad: damn... (calls Drake explaining he has to give the money back as he can't make Hopsin look bad)
haha
Hahahahahahhahaha. I don't see why Hop even talks to this fool.
Favorite part of the interview.
Hey 25 g!rl K♠K meaghan055
Brian Snow fast forward a couple of months he has got a producer now
vlad just be interviewing himself frfr
This shit made me laugh so hard haha
Lmaoooo
+HeyIKeepSeeingYou jr BWAAHAAAHAAHAAHAAAA!
lol
lmaoo
Yo WTF is Vlad talking about man? Do you want Hopsin's opinion or do you want yours?
for real
Yup
Bingo.
He sound like he just tryna argue with hop the whole time lmao
rns.. who's getting interviewed ?
vlad hold an L for this interview.
He's expecially annoying here
VLad is always trying to imply something by trying to trip an artist up on something and RARELY shows his face.
I just don’t like him period.
Arthur McClinton so literally don’t watch him then😂
@@von1626 - I really don't know why you think it's funny but in order to find something out I figured that you would have to watch it first. I guess you think you said something worth listening to. Keyboard thuggery.
what do you expect from somebody who thinks 2Chainz is s lyricist
Damn Vlad is salty asf. Hating on Hopsin is opinion man. Let him finish his sentence, You interviewing him. You trying too hard to cover up Drake and step on Hop's opinion.
Alex Malefactor yea IKR
Thank You !!!!!!
Because he doesn't want to hear the truth. All the radio is .. is one big watered down business with Melody's to appeal to the masses and empty lyrics written by corporate:
I agree with you like vlad really need to stfu sometimes let the man speak damn.
I told somebody about this auto mechanic who does good work for the low. I hope day I’ll be respected for all the repairs he did.
Vlad, you’re a complete idiot in this interview.
Vlad is no longer an interviewer lol he's trying to force his perspective all in the interview and shit lmao wtf
Right?
Exactly this fool just can't let the shit go
+poetmm I feel like it's gotten worse lately. I feel like he doesn't want to be behind the scenes anymore. He wants to be a star or something like that
word
I'm thinking the same thing. It's lowkey annoying when he does that. I understand what Hopsin is saying. I think we need to separate the terms "lyricist" and "artist".
He shit Vlad up quick like naw homie "i make my own beats all of them"
Shut
+SEAN “S DOT” HARDISTY he should get a producer.. most of his records weak
+SEAN “S DOT” HARDISTY XD
DJ Gary hopsin tracks need better production
straight up all of a sudden its a bad example.
“The idea of Drake” is the best way to put this.
I like how Hop stays true to what he says. I totally agree with him. Vlad making no damn sense lmao, trying to use beats to validate his opinion. The reason we all respect Dre is because he's a producer first, that's his art form. The rapping portion is just complimentary. BUT when you paint yourself as an MC, and it turns out you don't write your own shit.. you have no art form, you get all the credit for the shit you didn't even write yourself. Anyone can learn to perform lyrics, but not everyone has the ability to write good lyrics.
ikr 💯💯
+Sebah X real shit bruh.
+Sebah X you right
Word up!
+Sebah X exactly
"In that same regard, you have to make your own beats, right?" "I make all my beats. Every single one of them." Hopsin fucking buried him😂
+Brennan Ferris was fucking hilarious when he said that.
My nipples look like milk DUDZ.
+Brennan Ferris Hopsin's beats are wack af doh
+Brennan Ferris by far the best part of the video!!!!!!!
+Yomamas Nekst your telling me crown me wasn't fire?
I agree with Hopsin 100%, you can't be considered one of the greatest rappers if you don't write your own lyrics in my opinion
100%
ABSOLUTELY!
100%
+Jollytapestry .C He is a product liek some of them pop bitches.Just a puppet on strings.Fuck drake
if anyone disagrees with that i would love to hear their argument. a rappers writing ability and ability to be consistently making hits is implicit in his ability to WRITE and respect as an MC. You could shave off all the dogma that comes along with hip hop and this honor code would still stand. it isnt prejudice or closed mindedness as far as i can tell. What drake has going is more like how singers produce records. or how Mad Men and other tv shows get made. any given mad men episode, there is three or four people piecing together life events. I do understand to keep a million dollar entity profitable, this is the way to do the shit.
word
Vlad just doesn't get it lol
Yea he do.he just a bitch dat don't wan admit dat Hop is right
Nope he doesn't smh
I mean Hop could just walk out and Vlad will still be talking to himself
lol!
+Andrew Carlos Esqueda lmao
Lmao
Not just talking to himself, he'd be arguing with himself.
Hed start arguing with himself and then argue with that fake ass drumset
I see Drake sent bottles to Vlad also
lmfaoo exactly
right tho
W
+King Kid lmfao
Oh shit hahaha
Jesus Christ quit splitting hairs. props to hop for keeping his cool
Bruh. Vlad was trying haaaaaaaaaaaard, too...
Hopsin was 100% ABSOLUTELY correct in EVERYTHING he said💯💯💯💯
He literally took the words out my mouth and the thoughts out my head! 💯💯💯💯
Straight facts! I rock with Hopsin so hard after seeing him handle this shit like a real one!
I think of Dr. Dre as a producer not a rapper. If you a real MC you write your own rhymes. You can't be a lyricist and not write your own rap
W
+Natalie Colbert I concur.
+Dan12:13 Morrissey.
i can agree with you to an extent..... i wasnt much into n.w.a., i started really listining to rap when the chronic came out. i like dre's beats, never really cared much for him as a lyricist. all i know is everything should and usually does EVOLVE! but w the so called rap and hip hop nowadays that just isnt the case! im not saying al rap is garbage in 2016, but i will say at least 85 % is....... i miss the death row days and the gangsta rap days.
+Dan12:13 Morrissey don't be mad and big and puff for the bling era. They were trying to make hip hop happy again. I rather have teens running up their moms credit card. Then shooting each other.
Yea Dre has never been looked at great rapper because he's not
Always been Cube
Drake is a group not one person it's that simple
L for that stupid shit
good way to put it
L
L for drake L for you
no
A rapper with a ghost writer is the same as a comedian with a writer
so completely normal?
+Michael Rowley
Completely bullshit
+Woosh Stand up comedians? Absolutely not.
That's not true at all. Don't make stupid statements if you don't know what you're talking about. Most comedians write their own material.
HubsDrunk did he say standup comedian? no he did not. and yea, stand up comedians do help each other out with shows and jokes for them. In the music industry these people would have to get a percentage of the song. In comedy they don't share royalty in that way, so it becomes alot less obvious. It seems you are projecting
Vlad is pathetic on this interview. I love Hop saying "I'm makin the the beats..." haha. What a boss.
Vlad just let me know he is a CULTURE VULTURE. A person who doesn't understand this is called Rhythm and Poetry. This started with the LAST POETS. A true emcee has lyrics, flow and tone
Hopsin is 100 right, I don't know why Vlad is trying to change he's mind
Thats cuz Vlad and Drake is of the same Ilk as his momma and Lyor Cohen. The suppression is palpable
Just learned a new word, "ilk".
VLAD gets caught plagiarizing and tells the teacher he should still get credit because although someone else wrote the paper, he wrote the name and date at the top.
+PUD NUK gbam! there it is, fam!
lol
Yeah, he "made the decision after looking at the answers, yes, this is the paper I will cheat off of."...smh
Lmfao this is the best comparison every.
wish this was at the top would've been great to start my adventure into the comment section with this comparison. fuckem
Vlad just does not get it lol
nope. lol
+CoolKash Ali thank you! it aint rocket science.
he's an outsider. a culture vulture just here to take what he can.
+William James he seriously sit there and come up with all these arguments like art painters and dr dre verses all to argue his drake point to someone who grew up in love with eminem...
+William James He really doesnt lol
Emcees that have ghostwriters are just not respectable to real emcees 🤷🏽♀️
Ppl with ghostwriters r not emcees
This nigga Vlad compared ghostwriters to trainers in boxing lmaoo
Lmao he tryna push Drake down his throat
+Elvin P LMAOOOO
+Elvin P naw ghostwriting is more like having somebody go in to fight for you.
Excatly. The Trainer analogy if being used would be symbolic of the MC's inspiration or mentors that he studied and learned from. Like i grew up from 8 years old to 20 listening and studying the greats, then he goes out creates his original expression based on what he has learned.
lol Cause hes half a jew Vlad aint shit
VLAD... let the interviewee finish his thought. Please. Its painful to see how many times you cut him off in mid-sentence.
agreed.
He was too busy trying to paint him in a corner and back him against the wall with his questions to get his own point across. Still failed....
MyZ001 EPIC FAIL
I've said it before... Vlad is not one of those interviewers that allows you to forget his presence. Sometimes he rides roughshod over the interviewees and it's so freaking annoying. And especially a guy like Hospin who is obviously quite intelligent.
I think Vlad was trying to get Hopsin to see how contradicting he is. Hopsin says he can't respect ghost writers, but doesn't care if Dre ghost writes because of his cultural impact to him personally. So, because Dre has contributed to his life (by starting LA hip-hop), it is okay for him to ghost write, but anyone else (in this case Drake), because they haven't effected him like Dre, it is not okay to ghost write. That, on Hopsin's behalf, is very contradicting/biased.
I feel like dj vlad's example's weren't good examples, because in every situation Hopsin still felt the same way about ghostwriting..
His point wasn't good to begin with.
or because vlad was wrong and he wasnt gonna change his mind. I dont even like hopsin music but his opinion on ghostwriting was on point.
None of Vlads points were valid
This is ALWAYS the case smh ..
right Michael Jackson is not a rapper
"Quincy Jones doesn't play instruments" every jazz musician watching this video cringed at that moment
Dude I cringed too
EXACTLY! I WAS LIKE VLAD, SHUT IT UPPPPP!
The only thing VLAD knows is what Black people HAVE TOLD HIM. I've watched Chuck D school.him, too...Nigga, you ain't got the answers, Vlad!
Riiiightt
VLAD gets fuckin schooled at 10:02
HAHAHAHAHA
Bang'd on him. DOn't know why Vlad is attempting to make the kid agree to his perspective... Can't be bullied..
Hopsin solid as an oak
yeah game over right
Gunsmith Clothing it's totally silent at 10 minutes into seconds what are you talking about he's like clearing his throat
Hopsin is so smart. I wish Vlad would shut up.
AC Wyatt it’s his show...
I like drakes music personally, I just don't see him as a rapper I see him more of a pop star. I just don't agree when people compare him to Kendrick and Cole
J Park he acts as a rapper. His music doesn’t mean anything.
@@chavez349 you are right I never ever noticed that point Drake never made a conscious song ever not saying thats at all his lane but he never made anything that meant anything dam is that why he so successful cause niggas don't wanna think about nothing just fun and pussy no responsibility
@@davingrant9747 Before he went pop he was a conscious rapper go back to so far gone and his thank me later album and stuff his early days he was that type of rapper but went pop and became bigger I miss the old drake
If you don't write your own bars you are not an artist you're a performer !!!
@@davingrant9747 He is an industry puppet: He has to follow the protocol !! Drake is pop not Hip Hop !!!
I can't stand the interviewer. Logic doesn't get to him quickly, does it? 😂 Someone give him a rap lesson. If you are a rapper, you write raps. If you are a producer, you make beats. Is it that hard to get that people respect an artist more that do their own stuff?
Yeah vlad is super lame
You need a rap lesson. A beat maker makes beats. A producer, creates them, takes samples and clash them, blends, does the mixing, overall crafting of the work and often help rappers better things such as delivery and flow, etc. Consider yourself enlightened. Don't correct, if you're not going to correct fully.
TB RC this was 3 years ago, I can assure you I’ve learned a lot since then haha, listen to my new song 😂❤️
@@jaguirretorres This was even questions it was trying to disprove his completely valid opinion.
@@lyrics2challenged Often producers create beats as well just depends on the person.
Drake should always be seen as an actor first. Nothing more, nothing less.
I say the same thing
true.
Foolish to define and limit someone's identity by their first job, especially when they switch out of it in their teens and go on to do something as massive as what Drake's accomplished.
I feel You on that. I just think Drake is portraying something that he isnt. he got a come upp from degrassi like what nigga?..
loli remember wheelchair jimmy
This is the most unprofessional interviewer i have ever seen. He doesnt let Hopsin finish his sentences and tries to argue with him. He wont let Hopsin have his own opinions, instead forcing his own opinions on Hop
I feel like I learned A LOT about the interviewer, just as much as Hop, if not more actually. Not exactly who I'd want to be around or what I expected when I clicked on a video with Hopsin in the headline and thumbnail :P
😂😂😂💯
Exactly. Vlad doesnt even know music history. If u pay attention he does is research on site at the moment. Quincy played trumpet and wrote many song before vlad was even born
he wasnt trying to interview him he was waiting for him to spazz out and say something negative about drake so he can milk the clip for clickbait
Vlad needs to tone it down and let Hop speak
Vlad you graspin for straws a little man. the topic was Drakes ghost writers. not who put all the beats down. Drake has a ghost writer and doesn't make his own beats. Hopsin killed you with that debate
"I wanna know the person that put the pen to the paper" perfect way to end
Awww. That's where Drake got it.
Rap is different... Rap has always been based on the fact that you are writing about your experience. Not someone writing about your experience.. I will never call Drake one of the best rappers of all time. EVER.
yes sir. even if he sells 100 million records. he wouldnt even make top 20 in my mind
Billy Mech faaaaacccctttttttsssssss. He's a total fraud, fucking up the culture. Nothing but a stand.
AGREE 100%!
Rap is something you do Hip Hop is something you live !!!
Why does Vlad always bring it back to crappy Eminem !!!
drake isn't even a rapper, he is a pop star with ghostwriters
this is somewhat true.
W
+willemdee because everyone needs to write their own shit he's a pop star and always will be
Pop star literally means Pop'ular star.. Who in the mainstream with a record deal doesn't wanna be Pop'ular?? Hip-Hop is Pop now because it's everywhere.
+Morpheus Bott pop and hiphop are 2 totally different things and genres
Sooooo Vlad is telling me if I get Picasso to paint a picture for me and I put it out and say “This is mine”. That makes me a great artist??
If you got Picasso to paint anything for you now a days, my first thought would not be "did a person who has been dead for over 46 years paint this"? It would be ""AAAAHHHH, ZOMBIE PICASSO, RRRUUUUUUNNNNNNN". But if you had an original Picasso painting, before his pre-dead days, you would be better off to just say that it is Picasso's work. You'll get far more money for it. However, zombie Picasso has never made a single painting, so maybe that would be worth more. Hmmm 🤔🤔🤔
Law 7: Get others to do the work for you but always take the credit. For some reason people say the big 3 is Drake, Kendrick, Cole, but the big 3 is actually Drake, Kanye, Travis, each of which have ghost everything. The opposite spectrum would be Kendrick, Cole, and Push who are anti-fame and old school and what not.
Vlad is pissin' me off in this interview. He seems to be on the Drake defense team.
Y'all need to start putting some 'respeck' on Hopsin's name.
Also, shout out to Slim Jesus who wrote ALL of his own 'verses'..........(all tree of them).
Lmaooo😂😂😂
😂😂😂 W
This the funniest shit I've read all day
+Shy'N'Awkward W
+dj vlad said word! ✌✌
keep it up Vlad
vlad doesn't do his own journalism, so he feels the need to defend drake.. he doesn't know which questions to ask, so he takes polls on twitter on what to ask people.. he didn't come up with the interview format or the camera angles and he doesn't know who to interview.. all he does is read the cards, so he feels he's a real journalist.. same with his DJing, back in the day.. someone chose all the songs for him and he just stood there with headphones
Brian...I agree fully and not just with Vlad...in all aspects of life fake have been allowed to thrive under the guise of real...its game over for that mess...real and real only is whats up....
Real boxing Fan1 always one person off topic and making foolish claims when they don't even know to whom they're responding.. if you don't care, then don't comment.. no point in trying to convince us that we shouldn't care about what's real, when we clearly do and are justified in doing so
Real boxing Fan1 lol but you do realize that you're essentially doing what you're telling us not to do
Lol, I don't think anyone here got there feelings hurt by your comment. Based on the original comment, sounds like vlad is basically exactly the art he tries to defend. Ironic
Real boxing Fan1 It matters to artists, that's the point that Hopsin is making. Clearly you don't care, but what if it was you in his seat? For example, say you were a painter and to mild success, then there is another painter who presents the work of others as his own. If he calls himself a "painter" (yet all he does is use other people's work), wouldn't you be pissed off that he be compared to you as a true artist? I sure would. If Drake or anyone else is going to call themselves an "artist" or "musician", then they should be the ones producing their own work, or they are just fakes. Or at least call themselves entertainers. There is a much bigger issue altogether about using ghostwriters as an "artist" because this sets a presidence in music that blurs the meaning of being an artist. It infects the industry and it destroys any sense of authentic artistry.
Difference between Dre and Drake.
Dre-Him and Easy E both acknowledged a long time ago that Ice Cube wrote most of their music.Hes acknowledged threw out his career that he has had people write for him.
Dre has built most of his career as a producer,but he can still rap and write.And finally hes never claimed to be the greatest lyricist ever.
Drake-claims to be the greatest lyricist ever,that in itself is a huge L
Never acknowledged people writing for him until Pusha dissed his ass.
Hopsin said it perfect here,music is good.But you cant claim to be the greatest and have a helping hand,no way to justify this one at all.Vlad is tripping.
Jevon Burke bro what lol he acknowledged that people write for him after the meek situation not the pusha situation lol we been known drake had ghost writers since 2015...
@WAKANDA NAKER Dre has always made it clear, he producers with others. He's a producer. Music production involves putting together all the elements together. This includes overseeing recording sessions, picking out samples, getting musicians to play instrumentals, making sure the tracks are mixed and mastered, making sure samples are cleared and so much more.
Producers produce records/tracks/songs, they don't necessarily make the beats.
@WAKANDA NAKER no one pays attention since '96? Another casual
Why does Vlad always talk more than the person he's interviewing?
vlad you suck.
He used to not really talk all that much. I don't know what happened, but recently, he's been talking A LOT. Really annoying.
MattyMuffins Haha he's feeling himself he's always bringing up how many views his interviews get or when they trend on twitter lol
because i can
+MattyMuffins lmao then get off my channel bro. your not forced to come watch idiot
Vlad no one cares if u collect art. Foh
LMAO
lol
+Joseph Hardmon Drops Andy Warhols name like thats supposed to make us think he's into art now.
the word they are looking for is integrity
Mike drop
Vlad lost points today for me HOP you just gained a whooolle hellava lot man so much respect
vlad; "your not makin the beats"
hops; "iam makin the beats"
vlad; "all the beats"
hops; "all the beats"
U TELL EM HOPS...
1234daka I loved that lol he really shit on Vlad with that one
Greatest
vlad just sounds like them idiots in school that just wants to disagree with you becouse they enjoy being right. Hotspin made perfect sense how can you not get it?
Man said hotspin
+bubba bubbas looool
+Bobby Rogers there's a difference between genuinely hearing out another person's perspective, disagreeing, and then using non-combative logic to prove your point and being a silver tongued bitch.
Vlad biased as hell. How can you undermined his opinion and act like yours is fact? lol.
+LAVI BELLE
You have ignorant person's mentality.
You are speaking for an entire ethnic group.
I bet you're the type of person that pulls the race card at work. You get fired because you're missing days and says it's because I'm (whatever ethnicity). You probably did it in middle school and didn't get suspended by using the race card. Nobody popped your hand and said that's bad. You grew up with a sense of entitlement. You have much maturing to do. Try getting out more.
that's not racist
+levtick J +LAVI BELLE what are you two talking about? I'm white and I agree with Hopsin you're taking what one white guy said and basing it off a whole ethnic group? Everyone here hates vlad and agrees with hop and most are white folks, what if Hopsin was doing that and I said "black folks mentality. They're right .. u R wrong lol" see that would be wrong, everyone is different I can't base one thing I white person said and say all white people do that. You two are the reasons there are race wars so quit pulling the race card and the other guy quit putting the 100% acting like he's talking real your fake asf with your bs
Honestly you were being way to hard on hopsin about this topic.
Right?! I wanna hear about Hopsin!
I really don't know why y'all giving Drake a pass. The number 1 rule in hip-hop is what? Write your own shit. I'd be damn near heart broken if I found out Nas, Biggie, Pac, Hov, DMX, Jadakiss or Eminem has a ghostwriter. SMH I understand people get hooks thrown or given to them at certain times but come on B...
+87_Michael They wont see it clearly. If Eminem had a black ghost writer...people would flip.
This! I'm mad that the legends in the game giving these sorry ass muthafuccas a pass. Drake, Young Thug, Why? Because they're successful? Because that's how the rap industry works? Politics as usual...
People like Jay, Nas, 50, Eminem could go at these clowns and not brake a sweat because they've already had success, and they're respected. Plus, if Meek vs Drake got that much attention.. imagine something like this...
W
Eminem who?....... He's not significant to hiphop or black people.
Baked Bean Sigel Yea... But only because he's white. That's a little racist, right?
Plenty of non racist blacks fucked with Em during his time
Truest shit he ever said. I thought I was the only one who felt this about Drake. He's an idea, not a rapper & yet people love him. He's not real.
Seriously I been saying this forever the idea of Drake is great on paper. A nigga that can rap and sing. Now if only he wrote his own music and dropped bars more often
Rooney He probably can't write his own music. I can't hate on him because he make some great hits or in his case Quentin makes great hits.
+corey jinks Quentin is only one gear in the machine. D.R.A.K.E is a machine made of many gears, not a man. Now that machine cranks out fire tracks, but people need to acknowledge the fact that a rapper named Drake doesn't actually exist.I'm sure he can write.He didn't always know QM or PND.He never could have come up in the first place if he couldn't.I'm sure he wrote his first album,but when the super lyrical shit came outta nowhere that's when you know
+corey jinks drake bit off somebody style that's something people don't know
+transcendentmuzic what do you mean with super lyrical like what songs for example
Vlad thinks that 2chains is a lyricist, soooooo
right??
exactly
"she got a big booty so i call her big booty"
that's lyrical genius, fuck you mean.
+Darrian Nelson You can do that with anybody.
"The worlds gassed up, feed it beans" - Eminem
+Darrian Nelson using a few lines to discredit rapper is so damn stupid
Hopsin I like this guy...expresses himself well is an actual artist
I say that anyone rapping and doesn't write their own lyrics should NOT be rapping. No sugar coating no exceptions. Hell, I wouldn't even let a person contribute one line to my shit - Not even a chorus. It's my craft and mine alone when it comes to me and my lyrics. Hell, I'm the same way with my music too.
+Rebel XD But what about a singer like Elvis? I know he's not a rapper, but he was purely a talented voice.
+Char's Vinyl Collection I think singing is different, not everyone is born with a voice, with rap however pretty much everyone can read some lyrics and record so its writing (the actual ability to rap) that sets them apart.
+ihceyno you can't sit here and tell me everyone can rap though. We both know that isn't true. I don't think I could produce a hit a song rapping if someone wrote me the best song ever. I get what you're saying but I have to disagree. There's still a talent for simply being able to rap well.
+Char's Vinyl Collection I didn't imply that everyone can rap, I said pretty much anyone could read lyrics off a page, if you can write good rhymes by yourself then you can rap and in that there are levels to it.
+ihceyno I don't think because you can write quality raps that you are necessarily a good rapper. Some people may be poetic but can't exactly execute their written work. There's nothing wrong with that. I'm not a drake fan in the least sense so this isn't about defending him for any personal reason but I still think there's value for a guy who can perform. Though I really don't like hip hop music on the whole
im trippin bc the interviewer kept tryng to make Hopsin change how he felt about ghostwriting. i wld have told dude in a serious tone after about the third time he asked..."bruh, ive explained it a cpl times already...i stand on it. next question." and said no more about it. good job hop...
This Andy Warhol analogy is not valid, rapping and painting are not the same. Using a ghostwriter being a HipHop artist is just lame, using 10 different painters for a painting might be something extraordinary. It ain't the same Vlad, i totally agree with Hopsin here.
Deminus I don't give a damn if he didn't draw it he didn't create it
it ain't a real artist
also the fact that you would pretend to be the writer, when you aren't, makes you not deserve the respect
Deminus actually... it’s a great analogy he was just wrong. Warhol is considered a great artist, not a great painter. There’s a difference.
Painting is NOT A PERFORMANCE ART like MUSIC.
@@SSVplus Painting is x100 times harder than music, specially these days. Music will never be at the same level of the higher arts: writing, painting, and sculpting.
Whole interview summary: "As a lyricist I am unable to respect Drake's pen game IF it is true that he's not writing all his own content, but I am still a fan of his music and can't judge all his business decisions."
This nigga Vlad trying his best to defend Drake
Lmao he tryin his best lol
Hopsin fans have a do not disturb sign on their bedroom door

+Stewie Griffin I'm weak lmfao
😭😭😭

It's cool that he acknowledged Drake's talent while still making his point very clear.
Smart man.. I I swear he was trying to force him to like Drake LOL
Drake been mediocre for a long time and he will continue to be mediocre for a long time
This.
exactly
Stay Schemin & Aston Martin Music verses still his best tho
+Brian Best drake is a good voice over. Nothin more nothin less.
+AsylumBeats
Drake is this generation's Michael Jackson and Prince. Multi Talented
I do not respect anyone who uses ghostwriters!
Point.
Blank.
Period.
So you pretty much don't like anyone notable
Nas? Krs? Em? Biggie? Pac? Jay?
w.
+Anthony DelGatti u dont respect dre? eazy e?
+Straf Money nobody looks at them as lyricists. Or puff or dj quick or Kanye. Them niggas is narrators, voiceover actors.
vlad wtf are you talking about beats for? the debate was about writing your own lyrics not the fact rappers pick there own beats lol, most frustrating interview to watch ever, big up hopsin tho..
Right like what did he swerve left for. Hopsin was cool about it, but I know inside he was like, why is he asking about this.
hopsin speaking truth back in the day you couldn't get away with ghost writers cause most ppl battle rap which you had spit on the spot i feel like half the rappers today wouldn't last 2mins in a true battle session 💯
Hey props to Hop for being 100.
Not 100 when you can't hold your own idol to the same standards as the same person you dissing when they done the same thing.
@@wilcoxcmc eh?
Did you just reply angry to a comment posted 4years prior to yours? Damn
@@mile_851 did you just respond 7 months later!
"Fan of the IDEA of Drake" Couldn't have articulated that better..
It's clear in this interview that Hopsin is an intelligent, aware artist. I'm not a huge fan but I appreciate this interview.
I respect Hopsin.. Good interview brotha
Singing is based on talent not lyrics. So he has a point.
an artist is based on creating your own music
+Dimetri Tone yeah. Drake isn't an artist. He's an entertainer
Singing and lyricism both take talent, the difference is singing is all about the voice and using your voice as a musical instrument. Writing lyrics you have to have a witty, smart and very creative brain.
Spenser Mitchell there's a difference when you're the one claiming you wrote it. And saying you don't write it. Then your singing talent becomes irrelevant because you just lied your way to the top
The beats are irrelevant. Yes, the beat can definitely make a good song great, but there isn't storytelling in the beat. If Drake doesn't write his rhymes, then his heart isn't in his music the way that Eminem's is or Tupacs is. it doesn't affect how great Drake's music is, but it vastly lowers his ranking amongst the greatest rappers of all time. If that doesn't matter to you then don't worry about it, it just lessens the impact of his music when I know that he didn't write it.
I notice that Vlad always tries to dominate Hopsin.
+farkingelle Yeah, wtf? Why Vlad tryin' to roast Hop low key?
+Rod Vasold He seems to be trying to nit pick holes and make massive stories out of nothing. Like in another interview it seemed like he was trying to get Hopsin to call 2Chainz out, and even Hopsin saw where that was going. Not to mention Hop has that look on his face where he just kind of wants to punch him in the face, whilst trying his best to keep calm. "Yea, yea, yea...". The interview seems painful to be a part of.
"I'm making the beats"
Give it up Vlad.
Just shut up vlad, stop trying to convince him to be OK with ghost writing.
Tf!!?! is this an interview or a discussion with yourself? ? lol
omg amen
true story man. I relate with hop.
Why is Drake labelled as a rapper? I don't get it, I thought you had to rap to be a rapper.
+higglyjuff Exactly
rap music is like poetry, if you had ghost writers for poetry your just taking credit for other people's work which isn't real, the argument is that he's not real he is a rapper but his shit isn't from him
+higglyjuff he raps..especially his old stuff..if u saying that because u hear the harmonizing and the singing..u can't..then u have to say 50 cent..ja rule//dmx..nelly..bone thugs started it..are not rappers to
ChevyCates So what's hotline bling then? I don't consider that rapping. Comparing him to those other rapers is stupid,considering they rely more on their rapping than their hooks. Although I've never really cared for Nelly or Ja, so I can't really talk about them. But DMX, 50 and Bone thugs were very obviously rappers. Honestly Drake is a pop singer more than a rapper. He harmonizes more than he raps. These rappers rap more than they harmonize.
+higglyjuff u wanna sound all tough
ja made some pretty decent tunes back then
i hate lil kids that just try to put a front by only listen to underground rappers or *"real rappers"*
dont lie lil boy ja rule had some rnb hip hop tunes back then
even dave chappelle was a fan lol .....now is that approval??
Haha. Hopsin like "I make my own beats.." 😂😂 he's the man.
to the interviewer in this clip. dont cut off and interrupt the artists we come to watch speak. speak less in general for certain. im fine with you playing devil's advocate, but don't play it to win, play it so we can see how these artists reply to better understand them.
take some of your own advice and play your role. people don't come here for the questions you ask. AND drake ghost writing should be a free opinion, not one that you have to prove as right or wrong. for a lot of real hiphop and mc lovers, the entire passion is in the legitimacy of the mc we're listening to. how he or she looks, what they say and reveal. if a rap artist is having ghost writing done on the low, i can totally see hopsins point of how that would change things for a lot of his fans. i can also see how it might not change anything for other "hip hop" fans (like yourself mr. interviewer) we live and let live. but dont act like you got the right answer comparing andy warhol facts as if the fact that the word ART and ARTIST (RAP ARTIST) are enough to draw equality in comparing what warhol did and what drake does.
Vlad's missing the point. If Drakes not making the beats, or writing his raps, or coming up with the hook, or making his own style, or singing without auto tune, he is just a performer performing someone else's shit, and calling it his. The weekend said he gave Drake his whole album to write his own name over and call it his. To me that's a plagiaristic glory hog who has zero talent. sure he might be successful but he is only good at taking credit for others work. complete opposite of Hopsin
+jorge nunez "most" of the album
Look I'm just saying, coming from Hopsins perspective of an artist who does everything for the production of his music, to be asked to respect someone like Drake who can't sing for shit and doesn't write his own joints produce his own beats, its very difficult to respect that. If I have you paint me a picture and I just give a list of things I want in it and it comes out beautiful, that does not make me a great painter
+jorge nunez I gladly respeck what your saying , I'm not a drake fan but I can listen to the hits because he has good beats, but having poor lyrics n a whiny baby voice isn't gonna cut it and I'm sorry for the die hard drake fans
+Tre Fields I still try not listen to Drake, unless I'm around a ton of people then I will tolerate it.
+jorge nunez honestly can only listen to 2 songs I try not to either
andy warhol is considered one of the greatest painters? are you fucking serious? he is considered one of the greatest artists, not painter.. there is a difference. his work was not of paint on a canvas but mostly of prints anyways so i dont know where vlad is getting his information from. who considers andy warhol a painter???
Vlad, apparently
stylesclash101 unfortunately...
+stylesclash101 sadly...
+Nicholas Koopman exactly Andy Warhol jacked his ideas from Pop Culture references anyways he is like the worst example to use he's basically a ghostartist lol the true artists are where the company logo makers he jacked his ideas from
+Dy Lo that's a narrow way to look at it. He used logos to satirize consumer culture. How are you gonna do that without references to consumer culture like logos. He wasn't a painter but he was definitely an artist, I think saying the "real" artist was the people who designed the logos is very narrow and kinda missed the point of warhols art. The people who designed the logos weren't trying to make a statement about society, they were just making an image, Warhol used their image to make a statement about society.
Im an artist, I paint/sketch, and NOBODY aside from me has or ever will paint something that I would sign. Artists that have workshops like Warhol lose a ton of respect from me because it isnt their art, they just supervise. Either that or they are just pumping it out for money, and that art is a lot less valuable than the stuff the actual artist created.
Throughout the whole interview Hopsin didn't say even one wrong thing.
Drake can no longer be the best rapper if he has ghost writers . Facts
+The Baddest he was never the best to begin with
+You Tubed lol true !
He could've been one of the best. When he first started out all the way back at 16 he was great
he was never the best rapper.
W
lmao if you've ever wondered if Vlad actually knows the culture just remember... he actually likes Dre verses 😂
Lmfaoooooooo
Facts tf who’s looking forward to a Dre verse
@@not_da2159 NOOOOOBODY 😂
"You've never heard a hopsin song that wasn't MY beat". Then I thought about some of his songs. Damn this guy's been putting in work he needs to get his prop
"And I can use a writer to balance out my flows, but I'll never share my thoughts this is all a nigga knows."
- Drake
YEEEEEEAAAAH!!!
+Charlie Luciano mhm!
drake still trash tho. :)
mrcokez1
agreed
Things Done Changed....
vlad isnt really the smartest guy on here...
Compare to this Hopsin he is coming off very smart.
+mspinkytee not necessarily because he is being very very ignorant. about the art. Hopsin is right. If someone isn't doing the actual work why should they get credit
+mspinkytee you must not be very smart if you believe that.
+mspinkytee compare anyone to hopsin and they'll come across ignorant.
Ghost writing is nothing more than biting with permission. There are MCs whose careers ended because of biting. Hop hop has always been about the originality of one's creativity. Investing the time to perfect your craft is the biggest component to being a matter of whatever your art is. The credibility of a person's creative genius is diminished when you have others doing the heavy lifting. Besides, once you've run out of hot ideas of your own that are cutting edge, that's just the music gods telling you your time is up; time for the next generation. I really think this is a major reason the innovation hip hop used to represent in music has been eviscerated. Flash in the pan ass niggas don't realize it's time to let music move on without you. With that being said, it would be justice if we got the hottest ghost writers ever and have them revive Kool Moe Dee's career to the point he takes Drake's place as the hottest rapper in the game
lol shut the fuck up
DVRTY RVG LVRD name the time and place, you can say it to my face
+Barry Risper Toronto, Cosco parking lot tomorrow 3 pm ET time
Agreed. I guess hip-hop in the 21st century has new rules. Nursery rhyme, basic-ass lyrics, pre-written freestyles and fools ghostwriting your entire album.
+Tim Perry Thats not really the case, I think its rappers that are pop stars, ya know? like beyonce has 15 producers and 10 song writers on each of her songs because she is a pop star and she she wants every body to like her music.drake does the same thing. on the other hand Underground rappers like flatbush zombies and death grips are very experimental and not every body likes them. There are rappers that do their own thing and dont give a shit. personally, fuck drake and other radio rappers.
Hahaha Vlad trying to say ghostwriting is respectable when being an MC. Haven’t laughed so hard in a while
HE SAID BOXING IS NOT AN ART!!!!!!!!!! wtf smh
+Joseph Ongbak punching people aint an art
+Jee Lo Lmfao
+Jee Lo some One Who has never Boxed will say that . the Time A effort Put In and style is created just like any art .
y'all need to check urself
+Jee Lo any fighting style is a art . Boxing itself is a art . Throwing punches isn't . Boxing requires Hours and hours of practice to master it. Same as karate or jiu jutsu
Hopsin's just too real. Makes his own beats and al. True talent.
Hop is speaking the truth.
Vlad tried to quickly move past hopsin saying he made all of his own beats so fast lol
