Background

[edit | edit source]

"Hop Is Back" is a dark hip hop song, which brings Hopsin back to his roots.[1] In the song Hopsin pokes fun at Kendrick Lamar's height, Lil Wayne's dreadlocks and disses Kanye West's sixth studio album Yeezus (2013).[2] Hopsin clarified his statements in an interview with HipHopDX saying he had no ill feelings towards Kendrick Lamar, and that he dissed West due to him really not liking his new music.[3]
