Console Warrior

So the crossroads is here. Since DAY ONE, I've been an advocate for SEGA's success, both as a game manufacturer and as an alien race. Through Apple, I proved that SEGA is the alien race that we've been in contact with. Since then, SEGA has gone on to do MAJOR things in the entertainment business. Music, movies, games, etc.

But what about me? What about Hamilton?!

I was particularly hurt when Wiz Khalifa and Kid Cudi got the theme music to the Sonic movie. Intimately, they shared why. But that's not enough. I've been intimate with SEGA since as long as I can remember, but I shared EVERYTHING with them. Many "legends" wouldn't be here if it weren't for my input (pre-2008). For them to not even consider me in the mainstream is a HUGE slap in the face.

To contrast, I've been disrespectful towards Nintendo for as long as I've been in love with SEGA. And all Nintendo has EVER done was support me. Especially while on Interscope. I GRAPHICALLY disrespected the Nintendo connect I had. YET THEY STILL HAVE INTEREST IN ME!!! For me to NOT consider doing business with them would be a HUGE slap in the face.

When it comes down to VGM (video game music), SEGA and Nintendo are neck-and-neck. Still, the theme(s) for the Sonic movie went unheard, and the theme for the Super Mario movie ("Peaches") is considered for an Oscar. If I was anything like SEGA, I would've jumped ship A MINUTE AGO.

The Ladies of SEGA take turns breaking my heart. I hope they read this and feel it. Mary Nintendo is obliged to deal with John, so I can't have her. My heart has been torn between the two factions and their ladies, and that has taken it's toll on me. They feel all it takes is some pussy for me to submit. If I was any other nigga, they would've been CLAPPED for that. Now I don't trust any female. And I stay away from males due to insecurity.

The only males are trust are Jack Splash, George Massa and J Dilla. And they are at the same crossroads.

But Nintendo is offering something HUGE. SEGA is just offering pussy and weed. It hurts to even think about, man.

Loyalty can drive you to suicide. But where does suicide take you?

.com-ing myself

 There's no real reason why I don't have a website, other than finances. If you remember, I launched one in 2019. It lasted for about 2 years. Server kept crashing, I wasn't getting paid for download, etc. Still, there needs to be a central location for all things Charles Hamilton.

Reggie (or @Kanye on Twitter) built an AWESOME webPAGE. Links to all essential stuff there. It's working. It's just not a .com. .coms are considered the official mark of having a website.

Beggars can't be chooses, nevertheless, and Reggie did it for free. Can't ask for too much more.

I also want to encourage young people's growth on the web. Social media is the cafeteria during lunch at high school. If you don't want to get caught up in it, but still want to voice your opinion, start/launch a blog. Find pictures of mind-bending art on DeviantArt. WikiPedia is your friend. Check the Online Archives for... whatever you can imagine. 

The Internet is a VAST place. And I know my music brought you here, but there is more to search for other than music that isn't mine. Research Music Theory. Philosophy. History. Don't be bogged down by the bad news of today, nor the bad news of yesterday. 

Make your own history.

Approval rating

I'm doing fine, thanks for asking.

As you know, I'm not a big fan of modern hip-hop. I think it all sounds the same, there's no soul, no originality, and it always ends in violence. Nevertheless, I found 3 MCs worth dealing with The Tapestries of Trap.

1-) Meek Mill. The first time I heard him was in 2011, in a halfway house in Cleveland. The whole joint was going crazy for him, while I just listened with an open mind. Not being a hater, I felt that his delivery was reminiscent of someone who is destined to die in the streets. But his lyrical content and versatility stood out. And he's stood the test of time. His battle with Drake was a good one (Drake had the better song, Meek had the better beat and dirt). He coexisted with 50 during a rough moment. Meek Mill is a solid figure in Modern Hip-Hop/Rap.

2-) Lil Baby. I would hear singles from him here and there, but his most recent album is dope. I notice that he is the most coherent out of all the new MCs. I can definitely understand what he's saying, versus struggling to understand autotune-laced mumbo jumbo. I only check for the music, so I don't really know about how he gets along with other MCs. But I know he gets a lot of praise. I am concerned about his lean habit. I know Lil Wayne made it look cool to bust rhymes with a styrofoam cup in your hand, but even he is seeing a decline in his momentum. I only wish the best for Lil Baby. (I know.)

3-) NBA Young Boy. My roommate in Long Island used to wear his stuff out. One day I was high and listening to him play YB. I was impressed, but i noted that I was high and was likely impressed by anything. So I gave it some time. I listened to a few freestyles and some songs... dude is dope. He's actually singing from his soul. I can respect that. Don't know much about him, don't wanna Google him. But he gets a lot of love from me.

I haven't been in NYC for a long time, so I don't know what the underground scene is looking like. I'm not sure if Mental Supreme is still doing Training Camp. Sickabod Sane doesn't even make Hip-Hop anymore. End of the Weak has been pretty silent. Maybe my music will change the next time I'm in the city. Maybe Hip-Hop is all Electronic now (808s, synths, filtered samples). However it is to be viewed, the three mentioned above (I believe) can carry the torch for the next generation.

You three. In my office now!

Hold it down.

Labor

I spent today (9/1/23) DJing in the backyard at the house (649!). After 2 years, I only got one complaint. Granted it was today. They told me flat out to my face that they don't like my music. I told him I take offense, but he's entitled to his opinion. Later on, I asked him what he didn't like. He said he didn't hear it. I'm like wtf? That's what's going on? We form opinions based on... nothing? If it isn't Trap and 808s, I guess...

But sometimes, when things are unspeakable (whether good or bad), you just say you didn't hear it or understand it. That's dangerous, because in the real world, you have to have facts to clarify your opinion.

Granted, I know what I'm saying is unspeakable. 
Whether good or bad.

That's all for now. I promised myself I'll blog more for those who read, so here we go and here we are.

Stay tuned!

My celebrity crush.

Still.

With that being said, I think I'm gonna fall back from chasing tail (aka publicly lusting after women). Most of the women I've dealt with didn't tell me they were seeing someone else. I want a woman who's ALL MINE. "And the one that did is long gone. Moved on without me." (CH, "Hoe" from FromTheDeskOf) 

I'm not a player. I just have a lot of crushes. 

Would be dope to wake up to a DM from a celebrity. Preferably a female.

Male celebs are cool, but I don't want to play the game.

Whatever.

I hope all is well with you, Ms. Zamata.

Hold down #The5.

Require It 0fficial lyrics

(verse 1)

A mustache erases the babyface. Must I ask if there's a man in place of me when I leave, and if that man has been yours faithfully? Probably not because it's not the nature of man. Not that he hates you, but let me take your hand. Skin so soft and delicate... rough on the palm... I know what's going on. You're handling and deal with a lot. It's evident. But I'm right in front of you, so... come on! It is what it needs to be. We can live this effortlessly, endlessly, over and over, until we bend sleep. As if getting sleep is what we need. You're on your grind, I grind. I grind with you. I find you to be new.

(hook)

There'll be no wonder tonight.

I just want to be what you like.

And what

you love.

And I'ma give it to you, just like you need it.!.!.!.

(verse 2)

Our daytime sex is nocturnal, when we wish it and reflect it. Difference is, I get the distance. Call it states. Call it state of mind(s). Call it an argument away from... being all I find to be... me. I cannot betray me, so how could I betray you? But I'm not what you need, because I do not display proof that I'm truly the dude in the game. So... do you, I guess. My fair lady. My fair dame. Claire Danes in a clear flick. Not clear to me, 'cause I don't hear shit. I just wanna be who you're clear with. Call it desperation. It's a misTAKE! you're making, by walking away. 'Cause you're making me want that ass! But nowadays, Charles doesn't chase. So... if I want you, I'll just keep it 100 with The Past.

(hook)

There'll be no wonder tonight.

I just want to be what you like.

And what

you love.

And I'ma give it to you, just like you need it.!.!.!.

Dedicated to someone. You know who you are. I'll leave you alone. It'll hurt, but that's how it's gotta be.

I know what I need to know.

The space to say.

I feel like having a blog disables me from talking (my) shit. Because you KNOW I can say/do it. So lately, I've been Tweeting more. I see it as socializing online. My personal Facebook is devoted to my FDAliens, but I added more people (in an attempt to socialize online). I met some dope people. Aspiring artists, attractive women, etc. I just noticed that Twitter is more plugged into the music business. 

I gotta keep my eye on that.

And as much as I try to say I don't need to, that's a flex/cap. I need to see what is being sold to the people, so I can either compliment or contrast it. I REALLY like (to the point of lovebombs) Chloe x Halle, so you'll see me retweet them. I'm loyal to Shady/Aftermath/G-Unit, so you'll see me posting stuff from them. Obviously #GangGang, so Green Lantern and co. posts are to be expected. 

For the love of electricity.

A helping hand.

 I notice that a lot of producers (StarChasers included) use trap drums because they can't find any "boom-bap" drums. Or they don't like the drums made available. 

Here's to hoping that by dropping my custom kit, there will be some changes in music. Specifically the underground.

Have a blast.

Sweatin' Technique

 The key to making music is to enjoy the music you make. You can't expect your music to be better than your influence, but you can stake your claim THROUGH your music. If you notice, Chris Brown doesn't slander Michael Jackson or James Brown. MiJack and JB never did flips on stage, but Chris wouldn't be doing what he's doing without either. So don't shut yourself down because you can't measure up. Just step up.

I would say "have fun" with making music, but 99% of the bullshit that's out came with fun and was money-minded. Most of what you hear is pressure to make a hit. Most of the "acclaimed" producers pretty much do what the label says to do. I recommend someone learn Music Theory before they try to make a beat.

Music is not a fun process. It takes knowledge, wisdom, and bravery. 
Just like being on the streets.

Someone made a comment and said "All you wanna do is make music all day. I'm out here in these streets." Well, that's why my music has gone farther than you have (so far). I'm dedicated. I won't go there with hand skills and street connections. It's not necessary. But I don't have time to address every beef started with me. I got music to make. And as long as you keep getting pulled in to bullshit because you wanna prove you not soft (pardon the Ebonics), you will always be several steps (and seats) behind me.

As far as what I do now to make beats...

FL Studio.
All day.

Occasionally I'll go back to Logic, and I do use VirtualDJ to make beats (Hypergoth!, Electronic Christmas), but Fruity Loops is where I'm at these days. 
It's almost therapeutic to do so.

Hamilton, Charles y'all.

I Owe You.

This post is specifically for my StarChasers. I'm aware that there are laypeople who read my blog, as well as executives and hood niggas. 

But this is for y'all.

I owe you an apology. From 2012-2021, I was on the attack against y'all. Many artists and groups came out that blatantly or indirectly copied me, and I felt that StarChasers jumped ship. Some of which TOLD me they were going to jump ship, specifically for Odd Future. I understood that OF was "Gothic", but I was trying to steer kids away from #thedarkside for as long as I could. Out of rage and hurt, I dove into Goth Subculture and never looked back. Added to the fact that I dove into Magick and The Dark Arts not too long before my first incarceration. 

I basically used Magick to hurt and win back my StarChasers.

Like a good asswhoopin' from Mama.

I want to apologize to Chris Rivera for calling him Michael Jackson's first pedophilia victim. I also would like to send love and peace to Dino Rhymestyle and Melvin Burch. I see they're doing their thing with podcasting and streaming video games. Very cool. 

I just pray you never forget me.

Prayer. An interesting thing for a witch.

I'm thankful for my New StarChasers. Folks who caught the wave around 2012-recent. I've been at war in the hood and trying to make peace in the "industry". I switched my style up. I went from Lyricist (written rhymes) to MC (non-written rhymes). I know there's a war between the two, but to transition and still be able to go back is a skill/talent.

And I am #TheTalentedOne.

There is no shame in taking account for your gifts.

Many Moods of Moses

 Apparently, The Talented Mr. Hamilton is a freshly sought after producer!
A lot of people want my #Talented beats.

That's cool.

My first priority was CYoung (for 3rd Eye Magic). Problem is, he doesn't want to take direction. He thinks I'm trying to control him. 
Instead of THAT back and forth, I sent him a pack of beats and told him to do him. He resisted, so I used those 3YM beats for "The Pits of Hell", now currently in my Hamilton, Charles drive link (click here).

Next on my priority list is Enjetic. The thing with him is, he NEEDS direction. Direct direction, on the spot. Only problem here is, we're across the country from each other. So I made him a pack of beats, and sent them with directions on how to carry out his part in the project/process.
He resists the least, out of anyone I've worked with. Yet he still has his reservations.

I tell everyone, the proof is in the pudding. Just don't deny the flavor.

An Amish New Year

 Pardon the hiatus. 

I have a lot to say and a reason for going mute. 
Electronic Christmas took a lot out of me. I'm usually alone in my studio sessions, I don't trust outside engineers and I was being videotaped. I trusted a lot, for the love of my StarChasers.

I started a new catalog of music, under the name Hamilton, Charles (pronounced Hamilton Comma Charles). In this catalog, I produce under my DJ alias, The Talented Mr. Hamilton. Being diagnosed with schizophrenia opened my mind to new ways of looking at and expressing myself.

I encourage everyone to express their true nature through the arts. Of course, learn the basics (readin', writin', 'rithmetic). But then open your mind to know avenues of expression.

I can help you.

Columbine Gang is prospering. We are communicating through signs and music, to be definite. StarChasers, we are one co-sign away from global domination. All I have to do is hit the surface via acclaim (praise) from a veteran's mouth.

Fuck wimme, a lil bit.

Baddie is doing just fine. We are evolving in our knowledge of each other.
I think VS needed time to figure herself out. All her life, she's been about other people.

Tomorrow is being a brat.
Danjer is being a rebel.

FDA is rockin'! I gotta stop by sometime soon.

My junior high school is closing. I can't front like all the memories were great, but the scholastic lessons I learned last a lifetime.

I haven't abandoned my YouTube channel. I just need something to film with, and a location.

I also started a new religion. Positivism. The Bible of it? "The Power of Positive Thinking" by Norman Vincent Peale. The God of it? The Sun.

Nothing is a must yet.

Stay tuned.
