1/19/2024 0 Comments Hopsin nocturnal rainbows review![]() But with what is currently on Raw, you’ll cringe and wince, but you can’t stop listening to Hopsin’s violently playful musings. ![]() It would have been nice to have more songs such as “Heather Nicole” on here so the album wouldn’t be so dense. I would definitely call this an undeservedly overlooked album from 2010. The narrator talks about how society has programmed us to think in a certain way and how people are too afraid to challenge the status quo. Once Hopsin starts rapping “I just wanna kill… don’t fuck with me” on the 12th track “Where Will I Go,” you’ll probably end up asking yourself: “Seriously, again?” 'Nocturnal Rainbows' by Hopsin is a song about striving for individualism and self-discovery in an environment that is filled with conformity and mediocrity. The depressing, dissonant mellow beats and Hopsin’s consistently combative nature makes the album pretty repetitive. It’s here that Hopsin proves he’s still human and not just a cold blooded aggressor, showing that he feels guilt just like everyone else.Īt 16 tracks long with no skits to transition between the songs, Raw can turn into an endurance test. You want hear an awesome boast? Listen to the energizing “How You Like Me Now” where Hospsin claims: “I shit on niggas/that’s why I rap with a diaper on.” You feel for his loneliness on the nihilistic, social commentary driven “Nocturnal Rainbows.” The emotional apex on the album comes on the heartfelt “Heather Nicole,” an earnest plea from the point of view of a domestic abuser for forgiveness. Just because the nigga's half black don't mean he's Heaven-sent You're clueless to evidence and all the minds he's messin' with His charm and smile hasn't got my ass up out this debt for shit Frontin' like he's truly Jesus And all you fools believe it The change he's making isn't good, that's just how you conceived it It's like we all broker. “Baby’s Daddy” is a blackly comic track about a deadbeat dad, a track that condemns the mother’s promiscuity while managing to name drop Spongebob in the process. “Kill Her,” well, what else would you expect from a song titled like this?īut don’t worry about the album being just one long depraved rant, as Hopsin also knows how to be playful and even endearing. You’ll hear an armed robbery described in graphic detail on the autotuned “I Can’t Decide.” “I’m Not Crazy” is filled with perversions such as purposely contracting HIV and throwing babies into driers. Awesome Music: Nocturnal Rainbows is universally considered to be among his finest work. Violence flows in torrents through the album. It’s the results of being fucked over by your label. It’s a gun barrel stuck deep into your wounds, ready to blow open an even bigger hole in your body. ![]() The album is appropriately raw, 16 tracks of death metal imagery in hip-hop form. It’s obvious from Raw’s Saw-themed album cover that Hopsin is a madman. ![]()
