i just want to preface this review by saying that yes it is my first and it may not be perfect
So why do people have a problem with hopsin? "cringy, embarassing and bad" are words I hear thrown around but I just don't see what the problem is. hopsin moves crowds and in that sense he is the truest MC of them all. Rap was initially about moving crowds - mc means move the crowd - and there were plenty of greats that didn't have a huge message. Beastie boys, Run DMC, etc while having some music with a message also had a lot of music that was just about having fun. There's nothing wrong with calling an artist like Future or Young Thug a hip hop artist, and you sound like an elitist *** when you say things like "if you have the respect to call them that".
if 'no words' isn't the pinnacle of human achievement then I don't know what to say. his music has a message and it calls out all of the bull*** in hip hop today. he's better than danny brown and whereas danny brown has line an IQ of 20 hopsin is at least 20,000. The beats on this album sound like last drafts, ideas, they wouldn't be out of place on kendrick's sick ass new album DAMN. , and that's cool. And the beats aren't the only thing here that feel amazing
hopsin has the voice of an angel- it may not be a popular opinion but I'm just going to come out and say it. his falsettos are sublime and his harmonising is some of the most beautiful I've heard this side of Bjork. singers and rappers need to pay attention- you don't autotune you just need to be yourself
so in the end, Pound Syndrome has all the great qualities Knock Madness: consistency, hussle and grind. However now not only is quality between tracks amazing, but the quality of the parts of the tracks themselves are completely cool and consistent , leaving this album a masterpiece and Hopsin's best record to date.
can Hopsin be overthrown by king Kendrick and his new masterpiece [[[DAMN.? find out soon!

I was a big fan of Hopsin's album Raw. Knock Madness is basically not at all the same as that album. In Knock Madness, I like how he combines a lot of different elements and emotions in his songs. He also tries to use comedy in a few of he songs on the album. However, he continues to sometimes force rhymes and some of his lines are just downright corny and leave you scratching your head. Some songs are great like I Need Help, What's My Purpose, Hop is Back, and Old Friend but others should have just been left off the album like Lunch Time Cypher, Jungle Bash, Gimme That Money and Nolle Tre Flip. It seems like he tried to make catchier choruses this time around, some of which worked and some didn't. I see this album as very average and that could just be because I expected a lot out of him and I was disappointed when I listened to the final product. Overall, just a mediocre album.
