Sag My Pants

"Sag My Pants" is the lead single from American rapper Hopsin's second studio album Raw, released October 8, 2010 on Funk Volume. The song is considered Hopsin's breakout single, propelling him to stardom. In this self produced song, Hopsin raps about subjects ranging from dissing mainstream rap artist including Drake, Lil Wayne, Soulja Boy, Lupe Fiasco & Rick Ross, to discussing his anger towards his situation in the rap game, and dissing former record label Ruthless Records and more specifically owner Tomica Wright.

Background

This song was conceived after the bitter falling out Hopsin had with his former record label Ruthless Records when in its prime was a multi-platinum record label but after the death of Eazy-E the label was in a steady decline. Hopsin and fellow rapper Stevie Stone were apart of the revival of Ruthless however due to the poor promotion of his debut album Gazing at the Moonlight and the lack of financial compensation for the album. This created bitter tension forcing Hopsin to fully invest in his independent label Funk Volume that he had originally conceived when he was 19 years old.^[1] Hopsin created a large buzz for Hopsin's second studio album and Funk Volume's debut release at the release of "Sag My Pants" going viral after its release and eventually receiving Gold Certification by the Recording Industry Association of America.

Legacy

The song has received a large positive reception, which helped him receive a XXL Freshman Class 2012 nomination and spring boarded his fanbase to prominence.
