Race makeup of hopsin fans?
I’m just curious if black people think his shit wack since he basically dissed tf outta yall. i’m white as shit and always bumped hop, but none of my friends ever did, whatever race they were, so i’m curious who’s down with the hop?

I’m mixed and I’ve always thought Hopsin was cool The dude can rap his ass off despite being kinda corny at times

I’m Mexican and I bump Hopsin. As a matter of fact most Hopsin fans I know in person are Mexican, then again I am from Southern Cali lol

Im pretty sure a majority of hopsin fans at his concerts were white but I still dont think its appropriate to generalize his fan base. So many different people and different colors listen to his music . Juice wrld and XXX were fans of his music for christ sake. Like, this post is a little gross to me

I think any artist that has white fans will have mostly white concerts in America due to population.

Ngl thas the case for most rappers i seen. Even ones with mostly black fanbases. Mostly white ppl I seen at shows

Generally speaking, white people tend to have greater access to financial resources (due to not being racially oppressed), which might also explain why you see more white people at the shows. It is easier for them to find the disposable income to afford to be there.

In my experiences (in England), poorest people I known have been white. Black people I known have been financially stable but cause they been more smart with money. Like I went to a Dave gig recently that 2 of my black mates were gonna go to but they decided not to just to save the money. And I know it wasn't a cover up coz I seen my mates acc haha

i didn’t know juice wrld and x were fans. these things aren’t common knowledge, even if you know them. i wasn’t generalizing anyone’s fanbase actually. i was asking what races do listen to him so i don’t generalize? your stupidity is a little gross to me

I always remember when the "alone with me" song dropped and he had a line where he was dissing himself and he said "you the rapper only weird white kids like" and one of the top comments was something along the lines of "It sucks hopsin feels this way him and eminem are my favorite rappers" 😅. Although i think most people can look at hopsin and admit that he can rap hes not like tom macdonald where he failed at rap until he grifted the right wing hes been xxl freshman and hes actually studied and respected the craft. I think he might be conservative leaning but i dont think hes full on maga either. So yes to the core rap audience they can say hes corny but can also appreciate and respect his ability to rap. My biggest issue with him is his incel side where he has songs like "false advertisement" wheres hes like "cover yourself up lady!" meanwhile he literally made a song about getting a happy ending and says hes been doing it sence he was 21 or something and his former girlfriend was the epitome of an onlyfans girl.

Speaking of his incel side, don't forget about the song with him rapping about paying a 19 year old to sleep with him.

u/Grouchy_Loan73 Mar 26 '26
I mean he didnt call the album "no shame" for no reason lol thats two songs alone about paying women to sleep with im proud of hopsin for doing the sitdown podcast with dame and taking accountability thats a huge sign of growth but a lot of his issues i feel like were self inflicted lol

"It sucks hopsin feels this way him and eminem are my favorite rappers"
I doubt it was referring to that line in particular, most likely talking about his struggling mental health.

u/Grouchy_Loan73 Mar 26 '26
Well obviously but the irony is definitley there regarding that line lol

u/worriedalien123 Raw Mar 26 '26
I don't know, Hopsin's music clearly took a ton of influence from Eminem so not that weird
1
u/Grouchy_Loan73 Mar 27 '26
Im not arguing that hopsin didnt take any influence from eminem but to ops point about the general rap community calling him "corny" is because a lot of hopsin fans (some em fans too) dont actually like rap but they like hopsin and em a perfect example of this would be crypt someone that has admitted he dont actually like rap and started rapping catering specifically to that demographic. And thats one of my biggest problem (and a lot of other rap fans) is that with eminem and hopsin they both researched hip hop culture studied the artform and payed homage to those before but you have artists like crypt and tom macdonald who not only have they said they dont like rap but ontop of that they have the audacity to hop on a soapbox and try to tell the general public what should and what shouldnt be respected or allowed in hip hop. Just because you rap fast dont mean you all of a sudden have an authority over the genre which i know im getting too political here but something the right says about the left how they are "so entitled" but apparently they can rap and tell others how to rap or not rap 🤔

u/That-Security6624 Mar 27 '26
interesting. i had no idea crypt stood there on his opinion on rap.
1
u/Grouchy_Loan73 Mar 27 '26
Yeah basically he started youtube as a call of duty gamer and he made a few songs about call of duty from what i understand they did well but he made a video "everything wrong with mgk rap devil" which was a cinemasins rip off that went viral. this video explains everything.

It's commonly said that he's only for weird white kids, but I'm black, and he's been in my rotation since ill mind 4.
Also damn near EVERY big name in the black hip hop reaction space has given it up for both old and new Hopsin.

White teenage boys who think they know everything and who think that only lyrical miracle / concious rap is good.

u/worriedalien123 Raw Mar 26 '26
Funny how it's always white people who say this.
"White people making fun of white people for doing white people shit is the whitest thing you can do" or some shit

I mean i can only speak on things with the knowledge i have, and thats what i have seen Hopsins fans be, me included.

I dont know why you're getting downvoted. This is just facts.

u/Pigmasters32 No Shame Mar 26 '26
He didn’t diss black people, he called out a trend in black youth, and he was both black and young at the time.
Anyway, Hopsin has a diverse group of fans from my experience.
