Although Hopsin resides over on the West Coast in L.A., he wasn't out of the loop when Trinidad James ranted about Atlanta running the birthplace of hip-hop. XXL asked Hopsin his thoughts on James's controversial comments, and he didn't hold anything back.
"Trinidad James is the most garbage piece of rapper that has ever existed on the face of the Earth," Hopsin said in an interview with xxlmag.com. "His opinion is like a newborn baby saying it's the king of the world as far as fighting and it would whoop Bruce Lee's ass. Like, c'mon now. What do you know about anything?"
Hopsin, who hails from Panorama City, California, also addressed Atlanta, Georgia's status in Hip Hop during the interview.
"Atlanta might be making moves and all that," Hop said. "There may be rappers who come out of there, but that doesn't matter. It doesn't mean that they are dope. If you break down the real formula, a lot of the dudes coming out there ain't even really dope. They just got beats that bang. It's the same sh*t that's repetitive. That's what the industry likes and that's what being signed. It doesn't mean its f**king dope. Go bar and bar. Put somebody a capella. Play one of their a capellas. Look at their lyrics. It ain't changing nobody's life. They ain't doing nothing. They are not impressing anybody. It's just the beats."
