    Hopsin is definitely not the underrated intellectual he imagines him self as.

    His hooks are corny as hell and nothing he says is actually INTERESTING. Some of his bars will make you laugh but not in the sense that he actually told a clever joke, it's like saying a joke in a kids movie. The production is decent and Hopsin can actually rhyme.

    If Hopsin wants to listen to his cringey, fanatical fans and continue to make his music (without realizing it) to the lowest common denominator then fine; not interested MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.    … Expand

    The album is not bad. While it did not meet my expectations, I still enjoyed listening to it. If a few select tracks were removed from the album, Knock Madness would be much more enjoyable.

    Honestly just don't listen to this album. Hopsin is so corny and he acts really immature and is always angry and blaming his problems on others and acting like all the big problems in the world have simple answers, and he tries too hard too be "woke"

    "Knock Madness" is overall a much more clean album than Hopsin's previous effort, "Raw." However, the album still suffers from the same fatal flaws as its predecessor. Hopsin's hook game is no better, with him using the same vocal-tuned voice to sing nearly every chorus on the album. His lyrics aren't that impressive, and his preachiness makes him come off as ignorant. Hopsin just states"Knock Madness" is overall a much more clean album than Hopsin's previous effort, "Raw."

On the bright side, Hopsin knows how to make his lyrics funny and his Eminem influence is one of his best qualities. Don't expect this album to blow you away with anything, but it's an enjoyable enough project to beat his debut. Still in the middle of the road.… Expand

    Third time’s the charm for horrorcore rapper Hopsin, as the angry and often awful character balances his aggressive, violent vocal style with more pop and approachable music during the rewarding Knock Madness.

    Knock Madness is indeed a stepping stone album, one that can only produce even better music in the future.

    Knock Madness works best when Hopsin is either angrily fighting or humorously poking fun at some sort of ludicrosity.
