    It makes me sick to see "Knock Madness" rated a single point below the Marshall Mathers LP. How can an artist like Hopsin, who takes Eminem's personality, beats, flow, EVERYTHING, be ranked nearly as high as the man he copies? His lines are at times so corny I can't listen I.E. "Im the like I slithered in poop", and his Chorus' are trash. Eminem's weakest part of his game are chorus',It makes me sick to see "Knock Madness" rated a single point below the Marshall Mathers LP.

"Im the like I slithered in poop", and his Chorus' are trash. Eminem's weakest part of his game are chorus', so Hopsin couldn't have been above Mediocre in the best circumstances. On top of all that, his "Im the nice guy so feel bad for me" image is anyting but respectable. I have no respect for nice guys who feel like their lives suck because the world hates them, not because they're boring, rude, and obnoxious.

    Overall, he really isn't terrible, but people need to hop off his D, just because he's the only underground rapper they know.    … Expand

    I couldn't sit through this garbage... This sounds exactly the same as his previous attempts at making music. He still can't do it. Just quit. Ok bye.

    Disgusting. Really painful to listen to, poor production, corny lyrics. Flow is the only thing Hopsin has going for him with this album, everything else sounds out of date.

    This is a terrible album... hopsin is basically a carbon copy of eminem and knock madness is very boring to listen to. i would not recommend this album to anyone even Hopsin fans. go listen to Raw instead

    Knock madness is by far one of the worst albums I've heard in my life, it's so full of corn, so cringe-worthy, the production is sub-par, the singing is the worst I've heard all of my life, the delivery is so bad, the flow is meh, lyrics are sub-par.
    Not a good project at all

    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.
