@@screamingeagle11b I meant mainstream wise at the time. I wanted the nonbelievers, the media & etc to look at him as the best rapper alive like how they were looking at Wayne, Ye & T.I. In the mid 2000s.

hes still better than kendrick imo. he had other issues holding him from reaching that next level. but as is i still listen to him far more than kendrick.
Me too, actually. So much. I didn't realize it was as lit as it was. I was kinda sleep. But I followed Charles heavily back then, up until the point he dropped his album, which was right when he disappeared and was being ubiquitously lambasted.

Papoose fucked up by signing to jive. He got a lot of money but it kept him from releasing a crazy album that he had finished at that time. And he never bounced back and got his buzz back after leaving them. It took him 10 years or more to drop that Album and it was a completely different album by then
@@NewRhinoTV Max supposed to be free. Something up with that. I think French and Jimmy up to something. I don't rock with it. That's my blood cousin in there. Jersey gotta free that man now. His birthday already passed and this is his appealed release year. So confused.
Charles Hamilton changed my life. First heard of him in 2009, listened to him a tiny bit i 2010 - 2011, finally got into him in 2013, fell in love with his music ever since and still listen to him to this very day. I hope I meet him in this lifetime, because he truly is my hero.
A big issue with Charles was he had too much drama. Everytime he was in the news, it wasn't about the music, just trouble he got into. He actually got a second record deal in 2015 with Republic. He was doing good with his second round but he wasn't a priority on the label. His album came out the same week as labelmate Post Malone and... I'm sure you can guess who's getting pushed more. But for the most part, yeah... it was too little, too late.
Charles is my dude for life. The true definition of "looks can be decieving". Dude could sample anything like the old Kanye and made songs in a style that showed his vulnerabillities as a man yet savage like a bully roasting your whole fit. Imo he was in that Drake, Cudi, 808 and heartbreak lane before that potential was met by the Uzi Vert's and Juice Wrlds of today.
Man I always remember that Serious Jonez battle in the barbershop. "Not going back and forth, cut it off, go up to the roof and pull out the ratchet and let it off" always had me in tears lol
The guy was supposed to be next up coming out of Spanish Harlem he was supposed to be where Kendrick Lamar is now he once had a legendary cypher with K-dot.
im starting to think kendrick was planted there by interscope. they were both on the same label at the time... this freestyle wasnt “impromptu”, or by coincidence...
I’m glad someone had the wherewithal to do a deep ride into Charles Hamilton...a GREAT lyricist, brilliant mind & revolutionary musical being that just got in his way WAY TOO MANY TIMES. But deserves his flowers ✌🏾🌙
Charles Hamilton was his own worst enemy: Beefing with his own labelmates, made up stories about how he was friends with J-Dilla and his mother, not taking his mental health seriously, got arrested for punching a cop, not letting Interscope manage the vast amount of music he had, etc.
For me, Talib Kweli - he stayed on the verge of stardom while Mos Def, Black Thought and Common got over. Pharoahe Monch - that lawsuit over Simon Says derailed his chance at getting over the top.
If you've seen the Red Bull documentary they did on him back in like 2015/16, it's a pretty good watch. He links back up with a bunch of his old friends that appeared on his tracks back in the day, but there's a real low point in the doc where he goes on a cruise ship with his mother and she suddenly passes away while they're on the cruise. That part really made me sympathize with him, like I could just feel how alone and empty he must've felt at the time. It's a bummer his debut album release and that single from Empire didn't quite re-spark his career.
I felt like this should of been episode 1 of this series but Sonic definitely needs the attention. He been trying and keep falling every time. I cry for Charles. It's so much potential that just didn't get the help he needed or he just didn't want it.
I completely second that. I was lucky enough to meet him and hang out after a show (he killed of course). He was on piano singing and produced two full songs! Show tufli was there too I think. In Manhattan. Ahhh the days
I was actually somewhat cool with him for a little during what people claim is his downfall. He's an amazing and humble dude but he definitely was battling depression in a sense during those times and I believe lashing out at some of his fans also stunted his growth. I literally watched him spazz on people for reasons unknown other than he was really down and out and those people weren't doing much but praising his talents while giving little opinionated thoughts not to come off rude. Still wish dude the best but i haven't spoken to him in like 10 years
Yea I realized that he can just snap on people. Funny because Kanye is the same way, but I guess Kanye comes with that heat so people are willing to tolerate it
The biggest issue with him was his mental health issues. I'm not belittling or dismissing what he went through, but that's what really stunted his growth.
You should do "Chris n' Neaf"! Jay-z said it himself, that Young chris was his protege and next up! So how does someone who is personally being groomed by Jay-z himself fail???
Thank you for this one you gave a pretty fair assessment.. the one piece of information I would add is that Charles Hamilton rarely did features that would benefit his popularity mainstream wise. I think he was even mentored by Pharrell during his Interscope tenure. Alongside Cudi he planted seeds for rappers to get more melodic, alternative and express vulnerabilities. We can hear the Charles Hamilton influence in artist like Earl Sweatshirt, Tory Lanez and Steve Lacy.
20 min video and 15 mins in you BARELY getting to the second issue 🤦🏿♂️ do the research, break the videos into "skipable" chapters and make the into shorter, good job tho 👏🏿 I'm subbed
Another stunt was CH claiming his first album was going to be a box set of all the material he had released to that point. Interscope was like, that ain't happening lol. Seriously, whose first album is a box set?! 😂
I remember that video when shorty rocked him that was one of the early viral moments lol. I felt like he had potential back then it just wasn't in the cards.
That 09 class was something special I was so excited for Hip Hop at the time and Charles is one of the best off the dome freestyle rappers I’ve ever heard
Charles is an unsung hero of hip hop ahead of his time without a doubt The pink lava lamp Well isn't this akward My brain is alive Intervention Are better albums than your favorite rapper
I will always love Charles man, dude made my high-school days so much better, him and Lloyd Banks are 2 of my faves of all time. I relate to Charles like crazy, his music spoke to me like no other...ppl may call him unsuccessful but I call him a hero and a legend forever. Starchaser for life!
YOU missed so much which u also missed the nail in his coffin..The female punching him is not what took he down it was a series of lies he told..With beat stealing saying he made those beats when in fact he stole them from black spade.he felt like spade wasn't a big enough artist so he took them and said he had a ouja board and summoned J-DILLA..Which hurt j-dilla's mom so bad it made the ENTIRE INDUSTRY hate him for what he did to j-dillas name.Go back and look at a houseshoes interview where he threatened hamilton bodly harm..
Never heard of him until this video. Will check him out because of the video and check out the lady who punched him. Saw her pictures online before and never knew she was famous, much less Mary J Blige’s stepdaughter. Hell she looks like Mary, maybe that’s her real daughter.
he's ahead off his time like a motherfucker and a true artistic genius. he possibly could blow up after our time because his body of work is really something else
It's crazy because everything he was clowned for in 2009 is dam near normal in rap today ( emo goth style , wearing pink or video game character clothing, emotional music, taking drugs , streaming etc )
Also, did you not know he battles depression? He looks like he does, and apparently he inherited that from his mother. A lot of artists go through bouts of depression (especially if their promotion sucks and/or sales aren't high), and explains why they don't produce more music for commerce/blow up. They also go a long time between album/song releases. For example, eLZhi....
That's a good 1 bro! Here in the chi we rocked with Bump heavy.. used to get his music exclusively from him personally bc my cousins grew up with him! He blew his million dollar contract, robbed a bank, got caught, & went to the feds joint! That Goon Squad sht killed his career honestly.. here in the chi we have no studios! U gotta leave Illinois altogether to get signed & he could even do a show here nowhere bc everywhere they hollered Good Squad, the clubs were like, no! Tearin the club up ain't somethin club owners go crazy for!
I remember when I found that was Kendrick Lamar in that Charles Hamilton birthday video that I watched all the way back in 08-09. I was shook. Crazy how the world works.
Crooked i, Pill, Blue (from that same XXL cover with Charles Hamilton), Corey Gunz, Hurricane Chris, Trinidad James (musically stunted growth), Kirko Bangs, Yelawolf, Joel Ortiz
He got signed during a time when Backpack rap was fizzling out. I thought if anything he didn't make it in rap he'd still have a place in Hip Hop as a super producer. But a lot of things kept him from reaching his true potential. From mental issues to ego. I hope he gets back to his former glory. We saw a glimpse of that when he came back with New York Raining. But since then he's not really been the same.
In my opinion cuz I was a big fan, i don’t think him being clowned was really the downfall. It was a project he had where he put J Dilla as the producer or executive producer & dilla’s fans & family were heated by that cuz i believe he didn’t reach out to them first. So that with getting punched led to him getting dropped from interscope
No, Charles wasn’t punched out of the game. Curren$y and Wale (who originally said that joke) are lames for punching down on a dude that was down I was disappointed when Mickey Factz said Charles was fueling a rift between the freshmen’s with Cudi, if that’s true, then maybe Charles needed humbling
Charles and me just watch this we have some input actually are some stuff that you might’ve not known if you want to contact me or Charles Hamilton hit me up on here because Charles works a lot on music but because of the machine that doesn’t push him he doesn’t be seen and he has got a remember he did record with Rita Ora in 2015 for Empire soundtrack and it was number one in the Billboard charts
It was an innocence to he rap that I craved! I felt he could have been that one that could put a pull in a cookie and the masses would eat! Sad we're vain! Best Regards to dude!
Every Charles Hamilton ex girl friend worst nightmare project still bangs and is one of my favorite mixtapes of all time ...that’s where it stops for me tho
Man trying to blame the fact he doesn’t make gangster music or pop music for his download is some BS and miss his window? His class still are the biggest artist. J Cole Kendrick still here and don’t make gangster or pop music hell wale still around. The real reason is….. he can rap but the music wasn’t all that.
I liked Charles Hamilton a alot! When he got slapped and didn't hit her back, they should've turned that into him being the face of anti-domestic violence. Even though he said something super foul, I still can't support putting hands on another person.
"...Now my girl treating me like a convict So what I'm honest, I'm still trifling Same nigga undercover wifing hoes and still piping hoes But I know when I get home I gotta deal with the psycho Babe I'm not cheating, I been stopped creeping She ain't hearing it, god forbid it goes down on her period End of story, pah period Now I gotta deal with this shit for 5 days (and hey yo..) I guess it's her way or the highway..."
Regardless of talent, everyone has a gimmick. Charles Hamilton’s schtick as the perpetual loser had a shorter expiration date than what his talents indicated it should have. But his gimmick didn’t work and he failed to adapt. It happens all the time. Hope the brother is doing well
Man...she wrote a whole diss track on him basically...and he freestyled some shit back. Why didnt she just freestyle and do something lyrical? He was trying to pass the fame he was getting, onto her. Letting her shine some too. And she instead, tried to diss him, instead of just showing her lyrical ability. And when he randomly freestyles some shit back that was in the same lane of what she was saying...responding to her...he cut too deep??? She had been preparing to rip this guy a new on for God knows how long and had her phone ready with the rhyme on it for easy access. She was trying to play him in front of the cam when he tried to let her shine. Fcuk that. If I was him I woulda went hard on my freestyle too, but I think I woulda blocked that punch Did he NOT think she could get mad about the part he got punched on? Once again how tie'ing it up with a woman can be more like an anchor for your ship rather than a kite to your string.
Damn... I hope he completely erased that chick from his life. Woe unto any dude foolish enough to impregnate her- that broad has a lifetime of problems written all over her.
Charles & Lupe were the main ones I wanted to see win so badly in the mid to late 2000s. Charles had so much potential

Crooked i, Pill, Blue (from that same XXL cover with Charles Hamilton), Corey Gunz, Hurricane Chris, Trinidad James (musically stunted growth), Kirko Bangs, Yelawolf, Joel Ortiz
If you can do a video on slum village or little brother the group. We need that.
Or the Clipse and how they had to wait 4 years to finally follow up on their commercial breakthrough Lord Willin' which killed their momentum.
Slum Village for SURE!!! 🙏🏾
dont diss the gods.
He got signed during a time when Backpack rap was fizzling out. I thought if anything he didn't make it in rap he'd still have a place in Hip Hop as a super producer. But a lot of things kept him from reaching his true potential. From mental issues to ego. I hope he gets back to his former glory. We saw a glimpse of that when he came back with New York Raining. But since then he's not really been the same.
In my opinion cuz I was a big fan, i don’t think him being clowned was really the downfall. It was a project he had where he put J Dilla as the producer or executive producer & dilla’s fans & family were heated by that cuz i believe he didn’t reach out to them first. So that with getting punched led to him getting dropped from interscope
He was channeling Dilla. Some dark shit going on
@@thatguybsmith right. He was really tryna pay homage but i wish he did it differently
i jus commented that was the last i heard he did that project over dilla beats wit no permission and it was a big problem
He tried to reach out to J dealers family and his manager was supposed to do it so it really was a major issue
@@flygenyus2186 no bro. He literally summoned dilla.
No, Charles wasn’t punched out of the game. Curren$y and Wale (who originally said that joke) are lames for punching down on a dude that was down
I was disappointed when Mickey Factz said Charles was fueling a rift between the freshmen’s with Cudi, if that’s true, then maybe Charles needed humbling
Charles and me just watch this we have some input actually are some stuff that you might’ve not known if you want to contact me or Charles Hamilton hit me up on here because Charles works a lot on music but because of the machine that doesn’t push him he doesn’t be seen and he has got a remember he did record with Rita Ora in 2015 for Empire soundtrack and it was number one in the Billboard charts
Enjeticccccccccccc
@@MisterGosha what’s up brother
It was an innocence to he rap that I craved! I felt he could have been that one that could put a pull in a cookie and the masses would eat! Sad we're vain! Best Regards to dude!
One of my favorites back in the day. He was a lyrical genius. I hope he is doing better. He's been through a lot.
Every Charles Hamilton ex girl friend worst nightmare project still bangs and is one of my favorite mixtapes of all time ...that’s where it stops for me tho
Before even watching this video..Stunt #1 HEROIN. That shit fucked him up.
That's what I was thinking. Can't believe that wasn't mentioned.
We need a Astro(Stro) stunted growth next!
facts. I remember listening to ‘yes I know my g’ way back
@@JordanIsaac1 Stop looking at my mom
Man trying to blame the fact he doesn’t make gangster music or pop music for his download is some BS and miss his window? His class still are the biggest artist. J Cole Kendrick still here and don’t make gangster or pop music hell wale still around. The real reason is….. he can rap but the music wasn’t all that.
Charles Hamilton the Lenny Cooke of Rap
Respect 😎
There simply isn’t room for originality in mainstream rap music anymore…That will end up being Hip-Hop music’s complete undoing…
I think Charles had a lot of mental health issues. As a kid I laughed at him but looking back I feel bad for what happened to him
I liked Charles Hamilton a alot! When he got slapped and didn't hit her back, they should've turned that into him being the face of anti-domestic violence. Even though he said something super foul, I still can't support putting hands on another person.
"...Now my girl treating me like a convict
So what I'm honest, I'm still trifling
Same nigga undercover wifing hoes and still piping hoes
But I know when I get home I gotta deal with the psycho
Babe I'm not cheating, I been stopped creeping
She ain't hearing it, god forbid it goes down on her period
End of story, pah period
Now I gotta deal with this shit for 5 days (and hey yo..)
I guess it's her way or the highway..."
You let the openings go on waaaay too long bro.
MAX B 🌊🌊🌊
The way he dressed was wild
Regardless of talent, everyone has a gimmick. Charles Hamilton’s schtick as the perpetual loser had a shorter expiration date than what his talents indicated it should have. But his gimmick didn’t work and he failed to adapt. It happens all the time. Hope the brother is doing well
Man...she wrote a whole diss track on him basically...and he freestyled some shit back.
Why didnt she just freestyle and do something lyrical? He was trying to pass the fame he was getting, onto her. Letting her shine some too. And she instead, tried to diss him, instead of just showing her lyrical ability. And when he randomly freestyles some shit back that was in the same lane of what she was saying...responding to her...he cut too deep??? She had been preparing to rip this guy a new on for God knows how long and had her phone ready with the rhyme on it for easy access. She was trying to play him in front of the cam when he tried to let her shine. Fcuk that. If I was him I woulda went hard on my freestyle too, but I think I woulda blocked that punch
Did he NOT think she could get mad about the part he got punched on?
Once again how tie'ing it up with a woman can be more like an anchor for your ship rather than a kite to your string.
Damn... I hope he completely erased that chick from his life. Woe unto any dude foolish enough to impregnate her- that broad has a lifetime of problems written all over her.
Calling Jimmy Iovine his god didn't revive his career neither.
Jay z was assaulted by a female it didn't affect his career. It just depends how you handle shit
I miss this era of rap forreal
Damn I almost wanna cry this man was ahead of his time very talented artist
BRO This came out sooo fire thanks again for doing this and the shoutout!!! Hope you all enjoy this video I suggested 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
How are you going to justify violence? What she did was wrong
I wonder how he feel watching Kendrick's growth. I never knew they had that freestyle thass dope
In 08-09 my god I BELIEVED in this dude I was copping pink polos and playing sonic 3 on a emulator
Too much intro
I remember first hearing Charles on All City Chess Club’s ‘We Beamin’ remix. He did his thang
