hopsin created funk volume with a friend, dame was his friends brother and manager. Hop got backstabed by his own label

To this day, I still consider this Hopsin's best song he ever wrote.

Funk Volume was his old label and Damien Ritter was his manager

I have really really bad anxiety and sensory overload. I'm also an alcoholic because of it because I like to numb myself so I don't freak out about stuff. I can't watch any reaction video youtubers or ASMR artists or people talking or anything like that or I'll become overwhelmed and my day would be ruined. BUT, I go to your channel to RELAX which is huge for me. You have a completely layed bak point of view on things and you talk very calmly and the pitch of your voice is very soothing. I know this isn't a normal comment that you're used to but I just wanted you to know. Thank you

But bro you do sound like hopsin for real tho 😂😂😂😂

Hopsin started funk volume with his friend SwizZz and swizZz brought in his brother Dame in the picture He has a business background Dizzy wright ( you gotta check him out) and jarren benton (him too, he from the ATL) Was brought in to the label as artist and they where killing the game everyone but SwizZz he disappeared for a while Dame was part owner of funk volume, manager, accountant Basically paying himself more Hopsin wanted a new manager and same got mad and told hopsin the reason he hasn’t blown up and made more money was because he “doesn’t work hard” hopsin left funk volume and everything fell apart (Since hopsin wasn’t there no more nobody else wanted too) SwizZz & dizzy Wright stayed with same

I was torn when Hopsin left Funk Volume but I'm glad I got to watch them grow from nothing to an underground powerhouse who kept real hip hop alive. From all the mixtapes to cyphers, whatever they put out..Funk Volume was dope. You should check out Independent Living by Dizzy Wright ft Hopsin and SwizZz.

The build up and drop near the end always gets me hyped up. Love this song. Now Hop is the example of independent success.

That Bless at 7:32 just woke me up

Definitely Hopsin best song to date. He is so real and raw that's what makes the song great.

The fact that supahot fire the legend himself was I disguise in that music video

one of the few good reaction channels because you actually pause and break down the lyrics. and appreciate the small things most people dont even notice

I like how he's still throwing shade at Tomica Woods after all these years. Hopsin is killing it!

Hopsin started Funk Volume as a label and signed a few people he thought were really good. He started this business with a close friend of his and that friends brother. The Brothers name was Damien Ritter (hense "something's fishy 'bout you Mr. D. Ritter" Damien was the manager, accountant, etc as mentioned in the song. They loved the music and it wasn't about the money for the artists but for dame (Damien), it was. He started stealing from them and when hop found out dame started telling him and everyone else that hop had anxiety and needs to work on himself before he goes pointing fingers. This affected hop a lot because he does have some mental health issues but it wasn't altering his view of what was really going on. after dame convinced of a lot of the artists they signed that hop was just making stuff up, hop said "one of us is leaving because im not dealing with you anymore. dame said he wasnt leaving and so hop left and he made this song mentioning his side of the story.

This is legit one of the best songs about getting wronged by your label. He airing out all the dirty laundry, he mentioning Warner etc, he don't mince his words at all finally

True artist who's not a gangster and speaks the truth

You have to do hopsin :hells Carol and the purge!!! Thats the most 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥tracks from hopsin

7:30 that video edit gave me chills that amazing work 👏

He's talking about Damien Ritter who he started Funk Volume with. Damien is SwizZz's older brother.

It's always beautiful to see someone be real.

4 years later and I'm still angry LayedBak didn't recognize that the court officer is SUPAHOTFIRE

Funk volume is hopsins label that him and swizz created, and dame ritter is swizz's brother. He was the manager and was the demise on f.v. one of the illest groups of all time, you should check them out.

Hopsin started Funk Volume with SwizZz and Damien is SwizZz’s brother. At the time Dam was going to college for business stuff so he managed the label. The rest is pretty much history, Hopsin noticed some stuff wasn’t right with the money while they were on tour and he confronted Dam about it. That’s pretty much when Funk Volume split and Hop started UP

That sounded a bit like Dr. Phil at the end. I don’t know how many times I’ve listened to this and never realized it, gonna have to do some digging and see where that quote comes from.

I've never watched a video of this guy and all I hear is hopsin, not even kidding

You earned yourself another subscriber bro congrats! I love your attitude and how positive you are! Keep up the good work bro bro.

Upchurch referenced Hopsin's Shake Weight line in his diss on Scru. Lol

Will you please react to a Token record? Much love. Thanks! P.S. Code Red slaps hard.

#Firesquad - 🔥🔥 That’s why I love Hopsin - even if he’s not taken seriously Every single song actually has a story . He paints a great picture !

FINALLY ive been waiting for this reaction

React to K.A.A.N Concealed the Outro, such a good song 👌🏻🔥

Haha wow he literally sounds the same as Hopsin 🤣🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥

The story goes basically that Hopsin and his best friend Justin Ritter, who is also a rapper and goes by the stage name SwizZz, came up with the idea to start a label. They chose the name Funk Volume, and SwizZz's brother, Damien Ritter AKA "Dame" became the manager, but also took on the title of label owner and accountant all at the same time and he started screwing Hopsin out of money, along with some of the other guys signed with Funk Volume like Dizzy Wright and DJ Hoppa.

"we go with the flow while you rowin the boat" 🔥

This video is everything! Hopsin is 🔥🔥 LayedBakDFR, THAT BEAT and FLOW!!!

Earlier this year, Dame and Hop sat down for a podcast and talked about everything. Hop admitted that he was wrong to go this hard on someone, and that a lot of what he said was wrong and out of pocket. He admitted he did need therapy, but wasn't ready to hear it yet, and that now that he's matured and better understands the business side of things, he agrees with a lot of what Dame was doing, and that it was all according to the written agreement the two had struck as co-owners of Funk Volume. It was nice to see that both were sorry things went down like they did, and were on civil speaking terms again.

LayedBak you have to react to Jarren Benton featuring Elz Jenkins: OJ He was signed to Hopsin’s second record label funk volume. One hell of lyricist, you won’t be disappointed

Real Funk Volume fans knew this was huge cause hop, dizzy, jarron were killing it

LOL I didn't even realize LayedBak sounded so much like Hopsin, until he brought it to my attention XD

Great video, been waiting on this one. You should start doing album reactions like you did for em, always look forward to your videos! 🔥🔥 Sqaud

THANK YOU for understanding the need to adjust sound levels!! So many other youtubers have their voice input loud AF and you can’t even hear the damn song lmao

Hop is such an amazing artist don't care what you have to say he is just amazing

Hey fire squad, Been watching your videos for a few months now, and have really enjoyed your input in your trash or pass series. Recently I've been requesting a certain artist and some of his songs, but to no abide, so I wanted to make something a little more eye-catching. E-dubble was an underground rapper that first started rapping in the year 2000, but only got some traction during his Freestyle Friday series in 2010, where he sampled a new song every week for a full 52 weeks. He grew popular mainly in the gaming community, but also in a small pocket of the rap scene as well. Sadly, 2 years ago he passed away, and never really got his big break into the major scene. He's really well known for being lyrical in really amazing ways, and its sad to his his talent gone under the radar for so long. It'd really mean a lot to me, and probably for most of his fans, if you could react to anything he's made. A few I'd recommend would be Be a King (Single), Robots Can't Drink (Freestyle Fridays), Let me Ohh (Freestyle Fridays), Changed my Mind (Single), and my personal favorite, Drinking with my Headphones On (Hip Hop is Good). Thanks, hope you read and enjoy, and keep up the great content!

The tomica line at 4:30 is reference to Tomica Wright eazy e’s wife who run/ ran ruthless record and signed Hopsin then screwed him over, he then dissed on one his track “kill her” it’s worth a listen it’s quite an old song

"2019 health is wealth" Has hookah in background Slick

Layedbak: I'm gonna turn down this, It's loud af Me: *giggles* It's gonna turn a hell of a lot Louder bro!

Yeah, Damien was his manager, accountant, and label owner

5:05 tell that´s not Daylyt playing that reporter...

I worked at a wearhouse that shipped produce to grocery stores. Whole Foods gets all the same fruits and vegetables all the other stores like fredmyers orders. They simply just charge more and market it differently

Thanks for keeping us hydrated. I’m always like wait did I drink enough water today. When I see you drinking water.

I like how he doesn’t intentionally stretch the video to ten minutes cuz he doesn’t care about the ads he jus wants to make content for us lol

The guy with the goofy haircut is Supahotfire! But he ain't a rapper 😂😂🔥

Yo the best part of the song for me is the end. That speech hit me deep.

That end sent chills up my spine. wow!

Funk volume is a label hopsin and an artist/friend Swizzz co created with swizzz’s brother Dame Ritter. Until hopsin found out Dame took his money. So he left the label

PASSSS this track is straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥 poor Dame 😳🤣🤣💜 #firesquad ✌

Been waitin for this! Much love brother

Funk volume is hopsins lable. He had a law battle over the lable with his manager Damen. They split it 50/50 . Hopson wanted him to back out and he said no basically.. so Hopsion left. But his manager wouldnt let him out of his contact. Hes got 4 albums hes suppose to do under funk volume be refuses. Hence why hes only dont the ill mind of hopsion. Hes waitinf his contract out. He put this out to clear the air for his old crew and fans.

He's going at funk volume because they stole money from him and he is pissed 😂😂

Fire Squad what’s poppin? 🔥🔥

Bruh as soon as he said he don't sound like hopsin ...I can't get is out of my head he sounds like Marcus so much

Daylyt acting a fool as the reporter... 🤣😂🤣😂

Notification squad wya? #firesquad 🔥

Hopsin ain’t no up and coming artist, he’s a legend

Yeah I remember that Funk Volume History, that was some Real Sh** with his old Partner and his old Manager who were brothers I believe. Artists... you gotta be On Point... there's Snakes On Every Level.

Before creating Funk Volume, Hopsin was signed to Ruthless Records, so in the verse where he said "you on that same bullshit Tomica brought" he's talking about Eazy-E's Widow Tomica Wright.who was the owner of Ruthless Records after Eazy-E died.

Funk Volume was the label was signed to. The guy that he was running it with, Dame Ritter, was trying Hopsin throughout all that shit. That’s the whole story of this track

Like the trash or pass. I do not always agree but appreciate how you deliver your opinion.

Yea hopsin was signed to his second label funk volume....the group included Jerron Benton, dizzy Wright, DJ hoppa, and swizzz...the group was managed by swizzz's brother Dame Ritter and hopsin had enough of the bull from dame....brief history so now you know

Bro I hope you see this cause you the 🐐 on reactions and your music is 🔥 also! Keep it up my dude.

Funk Volume was a co founded label that hopsin was the co founder of

No, you really do sound like Hopsin, it's pretty eerie 😂

3 years later and I finally caught the "meet (meat) and greets, A1(A1 Sauce) performer" bar. Was literally mind blown bruh. 💯💯

This dude is ridiculous!! Man they’ve slept on him!!! Talented!

Bro you gotta react to Logic-All i do and Logic- We get high🔥🔥🔥

Hopsin is at his best when he stops giving a fuck lol… This is one of those ‘he stopped giving a fuck’ songs. I think #4 is also like that too.

First time i ever saw one of your videos was to creepy tik tok that will change your mind kind of content i am excited to see this Hopsin reaction!!!

Hopsin - Hop Is Back #FireSquad

Radical self-love is a daily fight

#Firesquad #earlysquad , I was applying for jobs but this is more important

Funk volume was Hop's old record label and his new one is Undercover Prodigy

I can’t wait for you to react to ill mind 9 that song is so dope. But a song that you probably are not getting asked to react is fly. And that song is really deep. Also hotel in Sydney is some story telling Eminem shit. That song is really deep as well
