Hopsin

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

“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 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 want to get to know God.”

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

“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.”

“Everyone knows I'm weird.”

“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.”

“I'm not just a rapper. I like to produce music.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“I did sign to Ruthless Records, but they didn't really support me.”

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

“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.”

“If God is real, and he did give a piece of Himself to us, it is our brain.”

“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.”

“In my heart, I've always wanted to do right, but I never knew what right was... but it's weird: God reached down, He said, 'Boom! This is what you are!' and I was like, 'Whoa!'”
