Kreayshawn is borderline terrible, we all know that. I mean “Gucci Gucci” was cool, but it has become pretty evident that she has no real value to the world of music. Hopie, a rising female San Francisco MC that I am only hearing for the first time today, reminds me a lot of Kreayshawn, only without all the corny lyrics and random drama we have come to expect from the puntable hip-hop version of Lady Gaga. I mean, their voices are nearly identical, they both create catchy rap tracks, yet Hopie seems far more genuine and true to the actual craft. Even the cover artwork you are staring at above seems like something that little rodent of a rapper would put out, right? No shots at Hopie though, I think we need more fun and loving females in hip-hop. Anyway, Hopie’s full-length Raw Gems is out now, and it features the likes of MURS, Del the Funky Homosapien, Moe Green and more.
