This video left me speechless. Talk about ripping everyone a new asshole and doing it in style. Vicious invective courtesy of YouTube hip-hop superstar Hopsin. It’s blunt to the point of pain.

This is going to be the most crazily viral video of the week that doesn’t have anything to do with what Mitt Romney’s hiding in his tax returns. In the space of time that it takes you to watch this (and do watch it from start to finish) check out how many new comments get left on YouTube. It’s also trending worldwide on Twitter and on the homepage of reddit today.

I don’t want to be a middle-aged guy commenting on “the youth,” but for fuck’s sake does Hopsin’s rap take no prisoners. And I can’t comment either on if this is some sort of ironic thing, or semi-ironic thing that he’s doing. Is there a level of “Stephen Colbert-ness” to Hopsin’s shtick? I can’t really tell to be honest, but the sheer ferociousness of his message did cause me to sit up, pay attention and to listen until the very end (which, again, I recommend doing here).

Fascinating stuff. “The Ill Mind of Hopsin 5” really knocked me for a loop. Today is the guy’s birthday, too. Follow Hopsin on Twitter.
