Sag My Pants

"Sag My Pants" is a song by American rapper Hopsin. It was released on October 8, 2010, by Funk Volume, as the first single from Hopsin's second studio album, Raw. The song was produced by Hopsin himself and his breakthrough single, propelling him to stardom.

Hopsin raps about subjects ranging from dissing mainstream rappers including Drake, Lil Wayne, Soulja Boy, Lupe Fiasco, and Rick Ross, to discussing his anger towards his situation in the rap game, and dissing his former record label Ruthless Records and 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 a part 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. 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.
