It's not something I would download and listen to on repeat, but it's definitely better than what I expected (another preachy song about how drugs r bad mkay)
Hopsin offers no legitimate insights or interesting points on the topic at hand and most of his thoughts sound not far off from those of a 15 year old who just dipped into the realm of atheism and started questioning the givens in life.
Fair point, but this song isn't meant to give any insight or interesting points to the topic. It's exactly what it says on the tin: a journey into the mind of Hopsin. This is what he's thinking right now. Confusion about religion and what to believe.
And this is almost laughable, coming from a person who made a song that completely judged the lifestyles of others as if he had the idea of morality completely in check and then went on to post about Christianity all throughout his social media while being blatantly hypocritical in so many other ways. And now he comes back at us with a song that mostly views popular religion in a negative light.
He addressed this in the song. People's minds change, and it's clear that Hopsin is now unsure of his previous beliefs.
It's hard to enjoy the music of a personality you can't stand (Kanye). How is this remotely entertaining to anyone enough to want to replay it? Not to mention how increasingly secular the Western world is year by year, he writes as though he's been hung for looking at a nudie mag.
I think he's saying that by the rules of the religion itself, he is "convicted", not by society's standards.
In conclusion, it's not a great song. But by Hopsin's standards, I'd say it's a definite step up. It's not some preachy bullshit.
