Here, Hopsin vents about how religion seems to be getting too strict, to a point where it seems that, to be a true believer, one cannot do things that one normally would. The only decisions you can take must be thought out and approved by a deity, scripture, or the state.

He happens to be making decisions that The Bible doesn’t approve of, and he realises that he is not wicked but only has different, maybe more righteous intentions.

Ill Mind 7 deals with Hopsin’s doubt of a higher existence, and in this line Hopsin doubts the existence of Heaven, the Christian afterlife where those who have been judged and deduced to be good people go to when dead. Hopsin apparently has not had confirmation from this little boy.

In the Christian path that Hopsin has chosen to walk down, it is believed that there is pure evil and pure good; God and Satan; Right and Wrong.

However, Hopsin has grown to understand that this can’t be the case because there are different perspectives to what right and wrong, or good or bad is. He' wonders if it’s unacceptable to believe that there is no “right and wrong”, or godly and sinful, but that it’s up to him to make that decision.


Hop also asks a slightly rhetorical question, as he forms it to only be able to logically answer it in one way. If the answer is no, then it’s wrong to disbelieve of/in the idea. But with that statement the answer would be yes, as one is consindering something as right or wrong. So the only possible answer could be yes.

If God shows proof of his existence, Hopsin will only act through his word. Instead of using his money solely for his own purpose, he shows signs of empathy by sharing it with those who are less fortunate.

Nuns are expected to be chaste and celibate, hence making them pure. On the other hand, ‘bitches’ is a vulgar term he intentionally uses to express his low opinion of girls in clubs.

Everyone that came in contact with Hopsin would know that he speaks for the righteousness of God.

Brandon Paak Anderson, a.k.a. Anderson .Paak, is a singer, songwriter, producer, and drummer from Oxnard, California. He released his debut EP, Violets Are Blue, under his original moniker, Breezy Lovejoy, in 2010. He eventually began using his new stage name and released O.B.E. Vol. 1 in June 2012 and Lovejoy in October 2012.

Before his 2014 album Venice, .Paak officially changed his name to Anderson .Paak. When asked if his name change was symbolic of a turning point in his career by Consequence of Sound, he stated:

Yeah, that was the case. […] and I felt like it was time to transition to a different name.

With his name change, .Paak was reborn. Venice, released a full two years after his last project showcased .Paak’s incredible versatility. “Milk n' Honey” showed .Paak’s storytelling ability. In “The City,” .Paak shows he can create a West Coast anthem. “Drugs,” the single that got .Paak noticed by Dre, is perhaps .Paak’s most telling song of his sound, with powerful vocals and progressive production on full display.

2015 was a standout year for .Paak, thanks to his guest features. Appearing on six songs from Dr. Dre’s Compton project, as well as two songs on The Game’s The Documentary 2.5, his popularity began to skyrocket. In late 2015, .Paak released two EP’s: The Anderson .Paak EP in collaboration with The Blended Babies and Link Up & Suede as one half of NxWorries with producer Knxwledge.

Riding the success of 2015, 2016 saw .Paak collaborate with many big name artists. Anderson was featured on Macklemore’s “Dance Off”, Domo Genesis' “Dapper”, KAYTRANDA’s “Glowed Up,” Snakehips “Money On Me”, ScHoolboy Q’s “Blank Face”, and Mac Miller’s “Dang!”.

In January of 2016, .Paak released his second album, Malibu. The album, sixteen tracks in length, is .Paak’s strongest work to date, showing the growth he’s made since his Breezy Lovejoy days. The album was met with incredible praise, receiving an 85 on Metacritic, making it one of the most well-received albums of the year.

After the release of Malibu, .Paak announced that he signed to Dr. Dre’s Aftermath Entertainment. Paak was also a member of 2016’s XXL Freshman Issue.

He released his third studio album, Oxnard, on November 16, 2018. He would release two singles prior to the project: “Tints”, featuring Kendrick Lamar, and “Who R U?”, produced in part by Dr. Dre. The album was received well by critics, and debuted at #11 on the Billboard 200. The song “Bubblin” won “Best Rap Performance” at the 61st Grammy Awards on May 17, 2019.

On April 12, 2019, he released his fourth studio album, Ventura. The star-studded project features such artists as André 3000, Smokey Robinson, Lalah Hathaway, and more. Ventura would become Paak’s first US Top Ten hit, debuting at #4 on the Billboard 200.

People have been preaching the death of hip-hop for quiet some times. However, there have been a handful of young emcees that would beg to differ.

Well$, the rapper, from Charlotte, North Carolina belong to this class of rhyme spitters who want to revitalize the hip-hop scene.

Although Well$ has been rapping since the age of 9, the 19 year old rapper has just recently started his career as a recording artist, but his talent is undeniable. He recently released the song An Awfully Rude Introduction of his upcoming EP entitled $ay La V. He later leaked City of Dreams, a song also set to be a part of his debut EP.

Influenced by the post-Kanye approach to rap, Well$ music is a hybrid of personal narratives, braggadocios, and social concerns. Thus in Well$ you’ll find that self-contradictory message that is common to all of humanity.
Be that as it may, Well$ is a promising young artist who’s music will be hard to ignore. In his own words:

I just want to make music that everybody can like and feel

He accomplishes it quiet beautifully.
Well$ is currently putting the final touches of his forthcoming mixtape MTSYD: The Revenge Of The African Booty Scratcher due out in early 2014
