Los Angeles rapper Hopsin is a master of labyrinthine lyricism—an improbable hero with a cult-like following drawn to his deft lyrics and proudly antisocial persona. On "Pans in the Kitchen", he constructs an intricate syllabic architecture and weaves it between the clanking sound effects of the song's title. He spits pugnacious bars over the millennial G-funk of "Hop Is Back", echoing classic Eminem. And to deliver a crash course in tongue-twisting technique, he goes toe-to-toe with Kansas City outsider Tech N9ne on "Rip Your Heart Out".
