Jesus Christ, what happened to that status he posted about being done with the FV beef? Pathetic lol.

Which of the statuses about that are you refering to?

All the verses go hard, chorus is meh to me, overall a dope song though

Video concept is decent, it just doesn't hold your attention completely because the song is long as fuck.

I feel like the song is dope and Jarren was probably the most surprising on this. I probably liked his verse the most up until he said "shining like jewelry" lol

Also nice to hear SwizZz keeping his delivery more aggressive and speaking on what the people want to hear.

Overall i'm satisfied with this video/song.

100% on point

After listening multiple times...

SwizZz > Dizzy > Hopsin > Jarren

In my honest opinion, I don't really care for the song too much. SwizZz and Jarren's verses were very good, but Dizzy just didn't seem to bring it as much.

I was expecting Hopsin to say a lot more in his verse, but it just seems like he was rapping about things that we've already heard him talk about.

The chorus kind of ruined the song for me because overall the verses were good. The second part of the chorus where Hop is singing isn't bad, but the first part just isn't very well put together. I guess it has a lot to do with the beat not being very good.

Also, I feel like the video didn't hold my attention much at all. It was just really basic and I didn't care for the concept too much. The video lacks the creativity that videos like Lucifer Effect, Kill Her, and You Are My Enemy had. I was actually really surprised that Hop edited most of this because he's usually really creative when it comes to videos.

Overall it was a solid song, but the beat, chorus, and video take away from it being a great song.

Basically IMO, everywhere we turn, FV is gonna be right there and we can't avoid them anymore.

That's not an opinion. That's exactly what the concept was for the video. lol.

Shout out to Frankie over at FunkVolumeForums.com @hopsinforums Thanks for the support!

I listened to the song this morning and just did again. Not feeling it. The beat isn't too great imo and whats up with the mixing? Hop's vocals on the chorus are pretty bad, to me anyways. I think the rapping was alright, but it was kinda boring. I like FV 2012 a lot more than this song. Honestly when Hop was doing the whole "Finna throw the whole game out of focus, beat in the head cause the flow sick" I was pumped as fuck. Expected a huge climax and the song actually starting when that dude got to the door, but it just stayed the same and then hop came in with the hook which made me cringe. A rare hit and a miss though, so I'm not worried.

I stayed up for the release last night and i think its dopee! To me SwizZz had the best verse. Dizzy killed it as well. Hopsin and Jarren had good verses but could of been better. Its like four different dope styles on one song.

Usually everyone that waited long for it hyped it up too much for themselves up to the point that they expected too much and ended up getting disappointed with it (which is a lot of people).

It's good that you didn't let your expectations alter your opinion.

Yea, I like this chorus. It fits the type of song it is.

Yea. Jokerr is so pathetic it's not even funny. The fact he even watches this right when it comes out is sad imo

I've only listened to it once and I really liked SwizZz and Jarren. Didn't even pay attention to Hop or Dizzy that much because I kept going from paying attention to the song then the videos concept. But I really like SwizZz and I think he was talking about the Jokerr in the beginning about how he doesn't aknowledge disses. Also, I've been liking Jarren more, especially the part about how all Hops fans call him a hypocrite for signing him. Except Jarren has been rapping about Hopsin too much.

UPDATE ON THE SONG:
Awesome how it's free download, but the cover is whack compared to most of the ones the fans sent in because I saw some dope covers they could've used. But this is simple which is fine I guess. Song is good and I actually liked each verse. SwizZz went the fuck in. I also don't like how Hop dresses.. not in the costumes but in general with those weird jackets and stuff now. I also noticed Hop had glasses and contacts on at the same time... awkward.

Jarren > Hopsin > SwizZz > Dizzy

i only liked swizzz's verse, everything else was okay

meh

Random verse review

I actually believe Dizzy and Hopsins verses were on par with each other but Hopsin had a longer verse.

I liked jarrens energy, I feel like his verse would be the best at a live show (Hes a good performer by the way).

Swizzz had the standout flow and blew his 2012 verse out of the way. I felt like his verse should have been longer though.

Overall I give the song a 7/10 (Thats good)

it was only 3:30AM over here so it wasnt that bad. I knew hopsin wasnt going to release it on time. Its just how he is.Lol

Cant believe The Jokerr put the same header from the FV 2013 video on his hopsin diss. Thats just sooo sad that he would stoop to that level

jokerr is terrible and someone should call him out. Honestly, I might even drop his name in a song at some point. FV2013 was cool. The video was cool and the verses were tight. I did think that hopsin was going to go a lot harder at the end and I was hoping he would name drop someone even though he said he's trying to get away from all that. Oh well, 8 / 10.

its not catchy. its slow, borring & I would rather have had it like FV2012 without a chorus.

Now I just want to hear stabbed.

King wrote:Now I just want to hear stabbed.

This, This, and This.

the chorus gets annoying, and the train thing gets annoying.

The beat sounds like a typical Hopsin beat.

and its fucking awesome how we got a shoutout.
