MY "PERSONAL" STORY OF LIFE....... My name is Hopsin. I am a video director/editor, rapper and producer. I love all types of music from 50 cent to Alicia Keys to All American Rejects. I've always had a tallent with playing the keyboard since i was around 4 or 5 years old but i never really thought about doing it for a living. i didnt really start getting into hip hop (fully) untill year 2001. thats when i started listening to dr. dre, eminem, crooked I, outkast and so on. I was in special ed classes though junior high school and high school. i was never the popular kid at all. i always strived to be coo but never was. i was always known as that wierd black kid who skateboarded. being funny was my only way to make people notice me. i went through all of my school years without ever having solid friends i could hang around with. I had got into acting for a while and tried to make it in that since i was a lil goofy character, But out of all my hard work i put into acting i only got one role, i was a day player on Disneys "That's So Raven". that was the only audition i ever nailed. I thought my life was about to change from there and i would become as big as Will Smith, BUT Naa. i was still the same broke ass nigga on the block after that. haha. thats when i started rapping, i figured that i might be a little cooler if i was a rapper. so i picked up a pin and a pad and started scribbling about how i hate my teachers and all that mess. but i noticed i didnt have a studio to record in and i didnt have any beats. so i purchased a program called fruity loops and started makin beats. then i went to wallmart and baught a 8 dollar mic and started recording. a few years later i had all the friends in WORLD!! I use to make songs for girls i liked in school cause i was too shy to tell them how i felt in person. as many times as i did that i never got 1 girl off of it. haha. i started turning towards the negitave side and saying forget scool only because i heard other rappers say it. they convinced me that i didnt need school to be sucsessfull. I'll admit it, if i never started listening to hip hop then i probably would of graduated high school and went to college, but since i DID start listening to it i dropped out of high school and got signed to Ruthless records and now i have more money then all my teachers, and it feels great PAL!! i dropped out in 2004, i still sucked at rapping tho. i was a wankster on the mic. i always had a fear that i wasent thug enough if i acted like myself when i was rapping. i didnt have no style, no immage or personality on the mic. so i started studying rappers who made it and started to notice why they made it EXACTLY. thats when i started building HOPSIN. thats when it came to me, i didnt have to be a thug for people to like my music, i could just be myself. i made sure i had the lyrical skill of every mc. i made sure my music was still appealing to large crowds, and i made sure that people would never forget me if they saw me (the contacts). once i had all those things down i got signed. THANK U CHYNA and LIVIO HARRIS PS. and if i spelled something wrong, Fuck you, i spell how i wonna spell PAL!!

Hop.... lets say.. hypothetically speaking.. that one wished to be in Hopsins top list... how would one go about doing so? would it be required of one to comment hysterically kissing thy almighty ass of Hopsin? or could there possibly be an easier route one could travel...
