Golden Showers | Diary

IGA — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 17:33:00 GMT

So tonight is the night of the Grammys. I swear I love tonight this time of year. It's when we see who is consider the elite in music. It leads to debates, boycotts broken dreams and fulfilled fantasies.

Or maybe I'm reading to deep into these things.

I'm just saying I grew up respecting the Grammys, because I respect the artist. And I believe that recognizing excellence in music is truly an admirable thing to do. But it leads to major division amongst the artists. A Grammy-award winning artist gets put on a pedestal that makes someone less acclaimed feel inadiquate. Dead ass. I do what I do, and I feel untouchable. At the same time, some might say that because of my youth and ...lol rookieness in the game, my music can't stand up to the big dogs.

It's quiet for them n1ggas.

On some G sh1t, I really wanna see the Grammy's be a CELEBRATION of music, as opposed to being a competition. Only because it will influence artists to work together for the purpose of making GOOD MUSIC. I heard early 08 that two of my favorite artists were gonna work together. At first I was caught off guard and like, "What the hell? What could they POSSIBLY say together on a song?!" and totally hated the idea. I guess I got caught up in the traditional thinking of music making, which is strange for me because I don't give a f*ck about how a song gets made, as long as it comes out dope.

Real talk.

If we could have a night where the dopest collaborations of the year would be performed live, that would be a history making night, every year. Guns 'N' Roses doing "99 Problems" with Jay-Z. Coldplay behind Justin Timberlake doing "SexyBack". Rihanna and Charles Hamilton doing "Take A Bow" with me on the piano and no other musician. Jadakiss and Red Hot Chili Peppers doing a remix of "Can't Stop". Joell Ortiz, Rakim and Lupe do a song with Audioslave, produced by RZA.

Now that just sound dope as f*ck. A night of collabos like that? Covering all genres of music?!

Chill. That's a night to wanna relive every NIGHT, nonetheless every year...

Looks like we're on the right path, huh?

Gone...

Charles Hamilton BLACKED on this sample | Diary

IGA — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 17:33:00 GMT

LOL I walked in on someone saying that about this song... lol

Nah people need to start showing love to my chop ability... lmpinkao j/k since the instrumental leaked (unsolicited of course... I didn't put it out... right?), a lot of people been showing love to my production ability. I got some people I'm producing for and a whole HOST of n1ggas/people (there's a difference... lol) that I want to produce for.

I'm glad you guys like "Brooklyn Girls" so much. I really do. Kinda crazy, cuz it's just a freestyle to me (off the top type sh1t). But I'm glad you like it. Hopefully you like all the other directions I go into musically... just began...

50 Cent's acting career is gonna take off after this. This is special. I respect it. I have my viewpoints on the beef, I think 50 is smarter and more resourceful than this (meaning he can black more if he wanted to, as well as find a way to dead it), but this is classic. N1ggas is gon make the next rapper that comes at me a f*ckin puddle of embarrassment... lmpinkao shouts to 50.

Let me not say anything more about this beef before some blogger or some sensitive rapper chimes in and calls me out of my name. Or calls my name out. Whatever.

Gone.

DiDiDiDiDiDiDiDiDiDiDiDilla!!!!!

To answer most questions, yes, I've been in mosh pits. Used to be a frequent thing for me, but I had to chill. And no, I don't plan on stopping the blogging. For real. I like to write, so don't question the bloggability... lmpinkao. I am fastly approaching 1000 (entries), with a project to correspond with it. And like I said, next Friday is "Well Isn't This Awkward".

Nothing is gonna stop this project from coming out, so stop... inside comment.

LA has some beautiful weather. It really does.

F*ck that. I'm trying not to talk about it, but I have some sh1t to say. I'm waiting until the 1000 blog entry to bring it up. Start sweating, get nervous, because I'm airing some things out about some people.

Wow. Advertising a blog entry that's a few weeks away...

Nah but yeah. I been holding a lot in, and I wanna let off (pause, but nah I'm straight face). I'm currently sipping a Bailey's at my favorite studio in LA (The Plant, baby!!!!!!), and I'm going HARD.

Harder than "you all"... lol

Jay that line was ridiculous. And I had to acknowledge it on my blog. When me and you get in the studio together, Pac would have to do a record with John Lennon to make sumn harder and more meaningful to society...

To all unsigned artists who have either challenged me to a battle or want to work with me on some indie sh1t, gimme WAY MORE time. I'm on Charles Hamilton Must Succeed mode, so I'm only focused on me.

Shouts to all the rappers so far who have come at ya boy sideways. I got something for y'all. Shouts to Bow Wow on the shout-out.

Wait. Shouts to Bow Wow? lol is the 216-614 beef over? Bow hit me up... that was big of you to do...

Gone for now.

And her dress meant, "STOP THE TRACK!!!!!" That's what it is. When you see shorty coming, make way, and don't say nothing crazy about her to get hurt. She don't play...

A HUGE inside joke...

Over some weed? | Diary

IGA — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 17:30:00 GMT

(a comment from a fan in a previous entry)

Nate R said...
Yo charles,

Wanted to get your thoughts on this whole Michael Phelps bOng situation (ya gotta laugh inside when ya think about it). Neway I was on ESPN's website yesterday and there was a big conversation going on about this. Was he wrong? Should he have apologized? Was he just doing it to save his millions in endorsements? Does he have an obligation to the kids that look up to him to not engage in this behavior? Or is it up to parents, teachers, and coaches to be role models for our kids? Just wondering what you think seeing as you're IN THA SPOTLIGHT NOW HOMIE!! Do you feel or see any of these things now that you've had a little taste of the things to come? With so many fans, do you feel pressure to act a certain way as to keep their opinion of you a certain way? I can tell from your blog, bio, and music that you've puffed b4, but like I said, has the limelight changed anything? Another thing that came up was the double standard of white and black athletes when it comes to the law. Would this have been a bigger issue if it was a black olympian? Personally, I think we need to evaluate the status of marijuana in our society (as Americans). With alcoholism running rampant in our culture, maybe a lil weed is what we all need ya dig?
^
^
^
^
^
^
So after I read that, I thought about the situation and decided to do some research...

(via foxnews.com)
Michael Phelps took a big hit — and now his wallet could take a big hit, too.

A photo of Phelps smoking marijuana out of a bong at a party in November has brought his endorsement career to a crossroads, marketing experts say. And the megabucks that were flowing in could soon go down the drain unless America's superstar swimmer, who won a record eight gold medals at the 2008 Olympic Games, changes his ways.

"It's certainly not good and it’s a disaster in terms of the near future," said Robert Tuchman, president of Premiere Corporate Events, a sports entertainment firm. "He's very unlikely to have new sponsors come on board and endorse him. And there's the potential for other sponsors to pull the plug on him, using this is an opportunity. He's going to take a big hit on this."

Phelps, 23, acknowledged on Sunday that the photo, which first appeared in the tabloid News of the World, was of him, and he cited his age as an excuse for his poor judgment.

"I engaged in behavior which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgment," Phelps said. "I'm 23 years old and despite the successes I've had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner people have come to expect from me. For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public it will not happen again."

I've read enough. First off, if the n1gga is smart enough to give that last quote, clearly the weed doens't have a negative impact on him and his ability to articulate himself. Second, the n1gga won mad medals. Clearly the weed isn't affecting his physical either. If it was, his zooted ass wouldn't have one A medal.

Someone called me out when I toyed with the idea of a 4:20 project, because I called Lil Wayne out for his alleged drug use. A while back too, so whoever wrote it might have forgotten... but dig this. Any contempt I have towards Lil Wayne is because of the alleged drug use. I see kids that are in the single digits spittin Wayne lyrics, and though I'm sure the n1gga doesn't wanna be a negative influence, I've heard lil Harlem boys and girls blindly endorse the usage of heavy drugs. I don't condone the usage of heavy drugs (coke, X, heroin, etc.) BECAUSE I BEEN THERE... I might talk about my experiences, in an attempt to make you understand and want to stay away. But nah b. I'm not with that. So Wayne, if you've heard/read somewhere that I don't like you, that's why.

Nothing personal. Just voices from the bottom.

Anyway, Phelps shouldn't be condemned because of his weed smoking. WORSE has been commited by BIGGER athletic icons. Point blank. Whoever took the pic is kidna wack for leakin it. Just goes to show the power of "friends". A real friend would respect your position in society and do what they can to protect it. Knowing that you are ALREADY protective of yourself and what you do, they should try to HELP, instead of capitalize on it.

Real n1ggas is among the missing nowadays. Phelps, roll up the dutch. Get booted, hop in the pool, and let the waves guide you. If the people endorsing you are that conservative that your personal life means more than your public ability, then they on some other sh1t. Flat out.

I do understand that he has an image to uphold, but who governs what is a bad image? He ain't put Greg Lou Ganis' baby moms on thisisphelps.com, nor did he make a DVD with Aquaman getting lynched on the cover. He's just doing his own thing, on his own time... YA DIG?!

^^Charles Hamilton^^

THIS JUST IN: Smoking on a college campus Phelps? I mean, it's some young sh1t to do... can't say I'm mad. But whatever man. Live your life. They shouldn't be toooooo hard on you. I mean, you are white... sucks, but race is STILL a factor. I got in an elevator today to the dismay of the old white lady and the white leather purse. I can feel it in the air. Aight gone... re-signature...

Aesthecially Challenged or The Aesthetics Challenge | Diary

IGA — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 17:29:00 GMT

Ima let y'all decide what the iller blog entry title is...

Anyway, I looked at the photos from my recent photoshoot, and I'm surprised at how cool they look. When you get used to a style of dress all your life, making changes seems like selling out. Not I, says the Hedgehog. I can look at these pictures and say, "I told you so..."

Dig this. All my mini-fro pics were intentional. All of them. I'm used to having my hair cut, and groomed. When I first signed the deal, my lawyer was like, "You got the music. Now we gotta work on your look..." He said it lovingly enough, but I took offense to it.

At the time, I was only wearing ONE outfit. Dead ass. ONE OUTFIT. Things had gotten so bad that I only had one outfit, word to pink. And I was willing to wear it FOREVER on some Doug Funnie sh1t. But my lawyer took me shopping and introduced me to Rothmans. Its a recession (rolls eyes), so Rothmans spending is at a minimum. But still. The feeling was surreal.

I deserve new and fresh sh1t.

My hair.

I refused to cut it wen I first came out as an inner-sociology experiment. "Are people serious when they say talent trumps image?" was the essay question I asked myself. And with that thought, I proceeded to grow my hair out longer than ever before. The backlash? Jokes from random bloggers, haters, emulation and insecurity.

And I didn't give a fuck. Because everyone was simply helping me give myself an A plus in my mental essay.

So now I'm on my "I feel as though I look as good as I believe my music is" type sh1t. I might not have the appeal of a JT or Usher, but yo I aint some ugly n1gga. The pictures from the photoshoot are awesome because they are a sophisticated spin on sh1t I always wear. Pharrell, I deeply appreciate your concern for how I look, but I don't feel comfortable being "fly".

I gotta be me. I feel the difference.

And for those concerned about the surgery videos, watch. Just wait and watch. I'm smiling right now because I feel like a kindergartener that got mad friends. Lol remember the "are you my friend" game? Where you go around asking everyone "are you my friend?"... No? Damn I had a miserable childhood... Lmpinkao holla back...

Surgery videos, dude? | Diary

IGA — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 17:28:00 GMT

Watch. Just watch. I'm not crazy. Have I proven to be crazy yet? lol well... like all the way type sh1t?

Nah right?

lol

Haven't seen one of these videos in a hot second. Not really reminiscing, but moreso reflecting on how happy Sonic can be in love.

And a very interesting lesson that I learned is that a person is not a character. A person has character. A character is a character.

We'll talk more about it later. Important morning crap. Holla at me, y'all...

This was the best example of when technology and nature gets along. Technology is in place to re-enforce nature, because nature is so subtle it can seem as if only technology is around. And with the two trying their damnedest to co-exist, one has to take a lower spot to the other.

Hence my overthinking.

"In this day and age, everyone is a rapper — and not all these rappers can actually rap. Many are trying to sell you an image on their MySpace.

There's the tough guy dressed in baggy clothes. He's usually aggressively pointing toward the audience in the picture, breaking the fourth wall. There's the former/current drug dealer draped in jewels. As he holds his chains up, his smile reveals a bedazzled grill. Then, of course, you have the intellectual in black-rimmed glasses. His hands are grasped together, but he's not looking at the camera, because he's caught in introspective thought.

Then there's Charles Hamilton. His MySpace page is covered with images of Sonic the Hedgehog and pink typeface. And when you make it to his music player, you realize he's actually a gifted rapper.

Welcome to the Hamiltonization Process. " - MTV News

Charles Hamilton in Saturday's Los Angeles Times | Press

IGA — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 02:14:00 GMT

CHARLES HAMILTON sits back on a couch at a Los Angeles recording studio, marveling at the pink security wristband he received earlier in the evening while backstage at "Jimmy Kimmel Live," where he accompanied Pharrell Williams and his band, N.E.R.D. It's impressive company for the 20-year-old performer, who's been hailed as one of the most important new rappers to emerge in years.

But Hamilton, who loves the color pink and video game character Sonic the Hedgehog, says he doesn't lay claim to any particular genre. "Don't call me a pianist. Don't call me a guitarist . . . a bass player," Hamilton says. "Call me a musician because I communicate via music. And if there's a word for somebody that communicates with sound, I'd be that."

Hamilton's progressive production style, mixed with witty compound punch-line raps, is earning him a following in the music industry. Executives at Interscope Records not only signed Hamilton to a deal in March but also gave the performer his own imprint, Demevolist Music Group. Super-producer Williams, in a May radio appearance on New York's Hot 97, gave a shout-out to Hamilton, calling him a "monster." - LAtimes.com

"Charles Hamilton is 20 years old but experienced and battle-tested beyond his years. He’s come from being homeless in the streets of Harlem to having his own deal with Interscope that includes him running his own record label. Though the MC had a considerable buzz with his two mixtapes, Crash Landed and Outside Looking, he really garnered the most attention when the home video surfaced of him, Kanye and Game in a cipher. The video led to a lot of people asking:

“Who’s that little guy?”

That question is about to be answered. Charles Hamilton is a lyrical tour de force that stuffs each bar with emotional honesty. He doesn’t limit his candor to wax either. His blog (Iamnotcharleshamilton.com) is infused with honest diary entries that do not pull any punches. Luckily for us, this he approaches his interview with The Smoking Section with the same sincerity. Charles Hamilton responds frankly to a bevy of topics including his thoughts on what the Nas album could have been, mixtape rappers, his girlfriend and what was really going on during that landmark freestyle." - The Smoking Section
