if you listen closely to what hop said on the second diss... he gave him that confedence to see how big his talk and walk was. but obviously he couldn't handle coming with REAL shit. novi is a stoner with an ego, i'd know cause i guess im one too.
edit: plus hops about to have a collab with tech and novi will still be trying to gain fans by claiming fake record deals by the time hops back at home he'll be beyond novis level somuch hop wont even respond to him anymore.
