Marcus Hopson, född 18 juli 1985 och känd under sitt artistnamn Hopsin, är en amerikansk rappare, musikvideo-regissör, hiphop-producent, sångare och skådespelare från Los Angeles i Kalifornien.
År 2007 skrev Hopsin kontrakt med skivbolaget Ruthless Records, vilket han lämnade efter en konflikt med dess chef Tomica Wright.
År 2009 startade han sitt eget skivbolag, Funk Volume (namnet är hans tidigare artistnamn). Damian Ritter blev sedan delägare (50/50) för att få bolaget att växa. Hopsin lämnade Funk Volume i början av 2016. Han har därefter skapat ett nytt skivbolag, Undercover Prodigy. Hopsin har arbetat med rapparen Tech N9ne, och även medverkat på albumet All 6's And 7's.
Hopsin har medverkat i filmen Fame och flera tv-serier. Även haft en mindre roll i tv-serien That's So Raven år 2002. Det var så han försörjde sig från han var tonåring, innan musikkarriären tog fart.

In 1957, when Rozanne LeJeanne Ridgway joined the United States Foreign Service, women were not particularly welcome, she recalls. ''There was real doubt about whether a woman was serious about a career,'' the diplomat said recently. ''One was asked whether one was engaged, did one intend to marry soon. In those days, you had to retire if you got married.''

President Ferdinand E. Marcos called today for a commission to study whether to renegotiate an agreement with the United States on military bases, and said the Philippines could do without American military aid if necessary. Mr. Marcos denied a statement issued by his news staff Wednesday that said he would await the final decision by the United States on military aid before taking action on the bases.

A construction elevator toppled off the side of a building yesterday in midtown Manhattan and crashed 30 feet to the ground, killing two workers and injuring another who were installing it. The accident occurred shortly after 2 P.M. at the site of a nearly completed 54-story building, on the south side of 52d Street between Seventh Avenue and the Avenue of the Americas. The building is the Equitable Tower West, an addition to the headquarters of the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States. The elevator that the three men were installing was to be used for hoisting materials and construction workers and eventually reach the top floor. The elevator was being anchored at the second story to the side of the building that faces 52d Street.

The French Foreign Ministry today protested what it called the ''unacceptable character'' of comments on French politics made to a newspaper by the departing United States Ambassador, Evan Galbraith. The protest, which was made to the American charge d'affairs, John Maresca, followed the publication today in the rightist daily Figaro of an interview given by Mr. Galbraith on July 8. Mr. Galbraith, who left Monday, was quoted as having said that the governing Socialists were likely to lose their parliamentary majority in the elections next year and that the Communist Party was ''sort of outside the law'' and should not be allowed to participate in the Government, as it did from 1981 to 1984.

There were indications today that a high-level shuffle was under way in the Soviet military, with the apparent retirement of the chief political commissar of the armed forces and unconfirmed reports of other shifts. After the replacement last weekend of the commander of Soviet forces in East Germany, Western and Eastern European diplomats today reported the retirement of Gen. Aleksei A. Yepishev, who has been the head of the Main Political Administration of the Soviet Army and Navy since 1962.

The Defense Department said today that the United States military command in Europe had initiated a medical plan to handle casualties of terrorist attacks in that region. The disclosure followed a report in today's issue of The New York Times citing an Army memorandum that described the handling of the victims of the truck bombing of a Marine barracks in Beirut in 1983 as indefensible ''medically, morally or ethically.'' The European Command ''now has an operational plan for these contingencies,'' the Pentagon said in a statement. The plan identifies medical teams, hospitals and specific equipment to care for those wounded in terrorist attacks, the Pentagon said.

United States intelligence officials, in a revised assessment of a Soviet missile known as the SS-19, now believe that it is too inaccurate to pose a threat to American missile silos, Reagan Administration sources said today. The new appraisal, which differs from assessments by the Pentagon, is contained in a secret report, the National Intelligence Estimate, which is prepared once a year by the Central Intelligence Agency and represents the consensus of intelligence experts. Administration sources said that the Pentagon's Defense Intelligence Agency dissented in a footnote to the document and stood by earlier estimates of the missile's accuracy. The purported capacity of the SS-19, an intercontinental ballistic missile, to destroy United States missile silos has been an important political factor in American arms control considerations and in the campaign to build an American counterpart, the MX.

Americans have notoriously short memories, but before we entirely forget the Beirut hostage crisis, we ought to try to make some sense of what it taught us about the new generation of Middle Eastern youth whose rage and alienation have drawn them to Islamic fundamentalism. Americans will not find it easy to come to terms with these young people, but we had better recognize now that we cannot hope to deal with them merely by talking tough. To begin with, the United States must get a clearer grasp of what is happening on the ground in Lebanon, where the secular Syrian regime and the Islamic Iranian regime are pursuing very different political goals. The Amal leader Nabih Berri, supported by Damascus, is a secular politician striving for a bigger piece of the Lebanese political pie for his disfranchised Shiite community. He wants to control positions of authority in a new Lebanese power-sharing formula but is not seeking a role outside Lebanon.
