Wait what? Pink headphones and a pink NY fitted posing with Sonic for the pictures? :confusedshrug:

There's a reason I gave up on the majority of current rap music a while ago.

[mmsupra]

Charles Hamilton is nice I have all of his mix tapes

[Mr_Basketball#1]

Huh? :wtf:
He basically revised Jay Z's verse where he said "I can't rock skinny jeans cuz my knots don't fit".

[Dasher]

I am disapointed in you Mr.Basketball. That right thurr is trash.

[Mr_Basketball#1]

I am disapointed in you Mr.Basketball. That right thurr is trash.
and this is coming from a dude that worships Plies? :oldlol:

j/k but Hamilton is nice.

[brwnman]

I'm not gonna lie, it's really hard to take Charles Hamilton seriously with his outfit. He had beef with Soulja Boy and he was making sense and all, but what the fu*k was he wearing? and it doesn't start with the hot pink clothing that he has on, it's all the accessories with it...

[Dasher]

and this is coming from a dude that worships Plies? :oldlol:

j/k but Hamilton is nice.
No Hamilton is a poorly executed gimmick. He is the epitome of bollocks and what is wrong with your generation. I have disowned said generation, and now claim to be a Gen Xer. Drake is just another punchline rapper with nothing of substance to say, a starving man's Cassidy. Plies on the other hand pulls off his persona to perfection, and he actually has songs with depth. Those cats are clowns, and when you scratch the surface there is nothing there. They are hipster trash if you ask me.

[Posterize246]

I thought all his songs were about lookin on the dresser and grabbin dat baby oil? :confusedshrug:

[Dasher]

I thought all his songs were about lookin on the dresser and grabbin dat baby oil? :confusedshrug:
100 Years, Family Straight, Runnin My Momma Crazy, Worth Goin Fed Fo, and 1 Day are examples of Plies rapping about substance. Drake raps about how cool and fly he is, Hamilton raps about Sega Genesis and master debatetion. I am too grown to relate to that BS.

I'm a grown ass man too but I like different types of music. I enjoy listening to Plies every once in awhile, but his lyrics are recycled. Same ole sh*t on every album. Why do you think he puts out albums so fast? No effort put into making his tracks, just stupid, repetitve verses. Does he talk about anything besides his "goons", p*ssy, and the feds?

[Interminator]

I agree with Drake,he has a lot of potential but hes supposedly signed to Young Money ENT.

That means he won't be dropping an album anytime soon and if he does it will feature heavy apperances by Wayne,which for his style of music isn't a good thing if he wants to be respected.

Charles Hamilton is corny,I respect his creativity but his voice and flow are horrible and his background as being a "regular guy" who loves Sonic and comic books just would not reach an audience outside of the backpacker crowd who likes anything not mainstream.


In terms of artists to be on the lookout for in 2009:

I predict a West Coast resurgence somewhat in 2009 and I think Nipsy has a chance to get his music to a broader audience than in the West Coast.

Tone Trump is about to get known in 2009,He's from Philly but has realized the best way to get attention is by slowing down his Philly style of rap and spitting it over south style beats.Hip Hop has now become about image and his image will make those white boys in the suburbs go crazy.

[JayGuevara]

If anybody comes up big outta Cali in 09, it needs to be Ya Boy. I been waitin for him to drop for a while now.

What's with dude and the Castro/Freeway beard?

[emsteez forreal]

charles hamilton wears pink headphones because he says that "pink symbolizes life". or something like that . and he's obsessed with sonic, one of his songs starts with "hmmm .. should i eat breakfast .. or satisfy my insatiable need to play sonic ..", and i think he does a whole mixtape with sonic beats . i don't like him that much, my friend loves him though . i've also never listened to drake, isn't he that kid that was on a show before?

Jimmy from Degrassi.

[Interminator]

I think people call it a Sunni.

[emsteez forreal]

Jimmy from Degrassi.

you should have no street cred given that you played a role in degrassi . what's next, a rapper from one tree hill?

[Dasher]

Not only is Drake an actor on a teeny bopper show, but he is also Canadian. He also signed with Young Money so he will not only never have album come out, but he will begin to get an internet herb backlash.

lol yeah, just end up coming out with a million mixtapes .

Oh?

Isn't Degrassi like the updated Canadian Saved By The Bell? That's all bad.

:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

Yeah Degrassi is bad but its not a comedy,it's like the serious teen TV drama.

TI is gonna get my boy Meek Mill famous. Signed to Grand Hustle. Time to get Philly back on the map.

[Posterize246]

what is a "them"?
Southern rappers are starting to all look and sound the same.

I've heard that "quarter brick, halfa brick, whole brick AYY!" song before though. Didn't know this guy was on it just thought it was Gucci Mane.

Hamilton is nice though, he can spit. It's just his image that makes people not take him seriously. Drake....ehh...he's alright but I can't see him blowing up.

[Dasher]

1~Gibson~1 was the poster with the correct prediction. Aye!!

[Dasher]

What part did you not underdig?

[Posterize246]

Everything. Reminds me of that guy from ATL they had to have subtitles for when Diana Ross' son was sellin.

[Dasher]

I can pretty much understand any accent, probably because I am an Island cat who grew up down South. I always laugh to myself when my yardie brizzes switch to patois thinking that will take me out of the loop.

Have you heard of J cole?

[Dasher]

Have you heard of J cole?I am not a fan. He seems to be a student of the craft, but he brings absolutely nothing new or refreshing to the game. When I was 16 I would have probably been a fan.

Idk, his stuff is cool.

or Murs or ATmosphere

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0794IvqFHEo (Woman tonight)

Or if you really listen to Dance with the devil? or you never know

That sh!t is really fire. Immortal Technique's stuff is diffrent

[Dasher]

Immortal Technique and Atmosphere smoldering refuse on a Hatian garbage barge at the height of summertime heat. Murs is decent, but nothing to write home about.

[SCREWstonRockets]

lmao @ that lacey duvalle song. you know you watch a lot of porn when you know who he is talking about.

That was a joke right?

He's one of the worst rappers out. And c/s the "one of them" post.

Btw

Reflection Eternal is dropping this year, also look out for the Budden, Royce, Joell, Crooked I project.

Oh... and before I forget, the leaked Rae tracks are crazy!

He's not half bad. I hated his stuff at first but the stuff has grown on me.

That Drake dude is the definition of average. He falls in the same vein as Bow Wow, imo.

[bdreason]

The list of "rappers" in this thread is why I can't stand 99.9% of hip-hop / rap today.

Let's hope that America falling on hard times can stimulate some real, original artists.... or maybe people will just keep rapping about their gold grillz and Escalades. :confusedshrug:

I'm hoping that you're not referring to Jay Electronica...

[NOHCP3]

Of this new "freshman" class if you will

Jay Electronica is good
Drake is dope imo... Dude is going to blow up sky high. Needs to capitalize on this wave and actually release and album.
Hamilton is good but dude tries to hard if you ask me. He needs to drop the sonic thing quick. His style of dress and arrogance come off as kind of douche-ish. Really talented though.. Love C Food.. sampled rock lobster.

Currency is okay but hes a less talented Fab. Cant see him going anywhere.

Kid Cudi is decent. Day and Night is a beast, but he may be trying to go in the 808 direction and that might keep hiim away from getting big. The dumb retirement gimmick igged me.

Hamilton is my favorite new rapper. His change from Outside Looking In to Pink Lavalamp is crazy. He's improved so much and I really enjoy listening to his sh!t. I haven't checked out his new mixtapes yet though.

Ok? That's your own opinion. Notice how I didn't even mention Drake, because I don't like him? So... yeah...
