"Ill Mind of Hopsin 5" is a song by American hip hop recording artist Hopsin. It is the fifth installment in the "Ill Mind" series and was released on July 18, 2012 by Funk Volume.[1] In the self-produced song, Hopsin raps about his frustration with jaded youth and disenchantment towards other unrelatable rappers, a departure from the previous, more comedic "Ill Mind" songs. The song peaked at #17 on the Billboard Social 50 and R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Songs chart. The song was certified Platinum by RIAA on April 7, 2021.
Hopsin explained that he was originally writing a song different than the final result, reminiscent of the "wild", comedic "Ill Mind of Hopsin 4". However, Hopsin had begun building a relationship with God and felt that he could not create another "obnoxious" song, but rather something with a message: He went to the studio and wrote a majority of the song quickly and, although not sure whether his fanbase would react positively to his change, recorded the song and shot the music video a few days later. Hopsin said the people assisting at the video shoot weren't reacting to the song in his presence, making him skeptical of his choice – however, his girlfriend told him while he was away, "everybody felt bad 'cause of the song, really made them feel weird, all these parts were really talking to them."[2]
Receptionedit
The video went viral on the day of release. It garnered over two million views in 24 hours and over five million in ten days.[3][4][5] The song managed to chart at No. 17 on two Billboard charts: the Social 50, based on weekly additions to online fans and followers, artist page views and song plays,[3] and the R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Songs chart, with 20 thousand downloads sold in the first day, according to Nielsen SoundScan.[4] To date, it has over 100 million views on YouTube and remains Hopsin's most viewed video.
It also received highly positive reviews. Eric Diep of Complex wrote: "Whatever opinions you have on Hopsin, [Ill Mind of Hopsin 5] shows that he’s got serious skills with his piercing delivery."[5]
