Baby's Daddy gets a 3/5  So Hopsin was cheated on, and then his girlfriend got pregnant, and he turns it into comedy. All right. Most comedy by Hopsin is verses in songs like Ill mind 4 or parodying rappers in Sag My Pants, but rarely is the whole song almost comedical. And the song isn’t a parody or anything like normal comedic songs, it’s more like songs like Eminem’s We Made You where it’s just comedic themed. Normally when one screws with Hopsin he makes songs like Sag My Pants or You Are My Enemy, but it’s nice not all his songs taking shots at other people are all angry or dark or anything like that. I don’t know the entire story of what happened here, but that’s not really a point. It’s suppose to be an ironic turn of events, and backfiring in whoever the girl he’s talking about face. A lot of people, myself included, probably can’t relate to the song, but we can feel where Hopsin is coming from. This is a kind of screwed up situation, so you aren’t surprised when some parts turn into dark comedy. The line about the pillowcase was definitely too much though. It was as if when he wrote that line of the song he didn’t know it was a comedic styled song. Anyway the song again is different and keeps the album diverse, and I don’t think many people have made a song like this. The instrumental and chorus along some other parts keep the song actually on a high spirit. Or at least that high spirit you get when you laugh in somebody’s face. It was like whenever you listen to the song someone somewhere got bitched slap by karma. Again I have no idea what happened in real life, and frankly I don’t care. As an artist your music has to be real and from your emotions, and that obviously will bring up real life people. But who we see in the songs are entirely different from the people in real life, and for the sake of the song whoever we picture might as well be a figment in our imagination, even if based off a real person. I’m actually kind of glad I have no idea who the girl is and that nobody bothered to hear her side of the story, because that would kind of defeat the point of the song. Although she shouldn’t get made fun of in real life, she also shouldn’t be thought of as just the chick who cheated on somebody and got pregnant, in real life at least. But in the end Hopsin made a very unique song and spun a person cheating on him into a song more about laughing in their face by the outcome, even though I’m sure he wasn’t laughing at the time. It gives a easy message, and a strong one, and that’s why it gets the musical message badge, even though it’s not really a message all that positive. Sure song like Sag My Pants give even more easy obvious messages, but I didn’t give that one the musical message badge because it simply isn’t the message song, and it would defeat the purpose of the song to give it that. But this song was really close between seven and eight for me, but I think I’ll keep it at a seven. It was stuck in my head for awhile and I listened to it a lot, I still didn’t really feel like going back to it after I was done with it like songs like Sag My Pants or Nocturnal Rainbows. Anyway still a good song, definitely keeps the album really good, and definitely unfolds the feeling when you see karma working at it’s finest.
