Charles Hamilton is one of the few rappers using the internet to his advantage. Infact he is one of the hardest working rappers in the blogosphere. You would think he would work this into sometype of social network like thisis50.com or Okayplayer and become a full online phenom. But nope he most recently tried to create an internet moment by issuing a challenge to legendary battle rapper rhymefest only to be dismantled. Then he goes out and steps to serius Jones only to get shut down yet again and further diss rhymefest in said battle. I know the logic to be the best you've got to beat the best, but the problem is Charles didn't need to step to two seasoned battle rappers to get validation. That is usually a desparate move by cats with no shine not a kid who has grinded his way up on the blog circuit and created minor buzz for himself. This is a detour that isn't necessary and it may cost him what little cred he has. I was hoping he made better use of the net to provide a solid blueprint for other good indie rappers to follow but noooooooo he decided to go the kamikaze route. Well to each his own and I guess all pubilcity is good in showbiz because it keeps folks talking about you one way or another.
P.S. Charles, What's up with all the pink and the Sonic the hedge hog references? Is this where we are in the rap gimmick world? I will reserve judgement on you until your ablum arrives but it had better be damn creative or all these silly little gimmicks will have been in vain.
Below is the second response from rhymefest and it clears up everything in a grown man way in my opinion. Charles chill before somebody eats your food really.
