Hopsin, oh boy Hopsin is a unique individual with interesting and inspiring lyrics.

Also known for his raw words and his complete and honest opinion on certain things or people, Hopsin is judged by his wild image a lot. Along with all of his struggles and beefs that he deals with, Hopsin stays true to his heart, true to his mind and true to his fans, unlike some other rappers.

Now that you have some insight on Hopsin, let’s talk about his song, “I Need Help”. The song explains his frustration of losing himself and having trouble being himself, he is angry and also sad because in between trying to be “Marcus” and “Hopsin” at the same time is difficult for him and he has to be one thing or else he falls into depression.

He also explains that he inherits all the money that he makes off his music and as a lot of people would say that money can buy happiness, but that’s wrong — money can buy temporary happiness but it can’t buy joy, not even temporary joy. He says that he tries to tell his so-called friends about how he feels but they get annoyed  that he’s trying to seek a solution that will take him out of his current state.
