This entire point was inspired, from a post made by @Skizza306 in a Hopsin thread in the RG Forums. When I saw it, I thought he was dabbling to deep into the song and just straight up nitpicking. However, when I listened to the song again, I really understood what he meant.
I just realized that if Hopsin can rap, so his writing is already well developed, but if he incorporated these elements into his lyrics (at least when he’s telling a story) he’ll just become a all around better writer.

However, take Dizzy Wright off of this. Take Jarren off of this. Put in the fixes from my next paragraph? This shit could’ve been the best song on the album .
