So...Is hopsin underground anymore?

I know it's kind of a dumb question because of how much he's blown up, but is it official? Is Hopsin a mainstream rapper? Not that it matters, just wondering lol.

No, underground artists don't get the exposure from magazines like XXL.

Yeah I know, just needed some confirmation lol. Doesn't seem real. Good for Hop, maybe this is the end of shitty mainstream artists.

nope...

Yeah i know, it's kind of sad isn't it? Still bracing myself for the swarms of shitty 13 year old fans once KM drops. Hopefully he revolutionizes mainstream, not succumbs to it.

i meant he is still underground, easily.

yeah everyone has retarded fans.

He's definitely underground lol

Still underground... not for long tho

FV is underground
Hop... well... we'll see.

Hopsin is 100% underground. Once he gets some radio play then that'll be a different story.

Yeah I guess radio play makes the difference. Whatever, KM will launch him into orbit no doubt.

He a well-known underground rapper... like Tech N9ne. The difference is that Hopsin will go mainstream eventually because of his appeal.

Agreed, he said it correctly in Hot 16's "I'm somewhat underground, but got the commercial elements"

Hes underground with a huge buzz, I heard him on the radio on different occasions and I dont even listen to the radio, so I guess his fame is different in certain places but overall hes still underground.

I heard "Am I a Psycho" on the radio.

Anyways, Hop is technically underground, just a very popular indpndnt. artist.

Exactly pretty much. I think Hopsin is at a point where he's between mainstream and underground, I don't even consider him underground (not mainstream though). He's bigger than underground but not really HUGE to be maintstream.

The ill mind series is genius, with this he guarantees a chunk of buzz with each ill mind, it all just works perfectly.

Agreed, great marketing strategy.

he is far from mainstream where he would be on most ppls ipods, but he isnt underground either!! Good hip hop fans would all know him, hes becoming well known in hip hop, KM will make him mainstream,, but i dont like that

the mainstreem is going hopsin. like it did with tech n9ne. he still disses all the mainstreem rappers and makes fun of the industry. he said he is staying independent. so im sure he will be "mainstreem" but hopefully he stays grounded. hop seems like he is a smart dude and wont let the fame get to him.

Hopsin's Aboveground

Nice phrasing. Yeah I'm curious to see what goes down once he hits mainstream. Wonder how it'll effect him.
