		<description>signing off with the souljahboy release date was a total bitch move. lol
====================
^ lol, sarcasm genius. 

I’m with HIp Hop Fan, Carolina, etc. I think this entire article is based on alot of convoluted theory and some truly arrogant pretenses as well.
======================
The whole &quot;beef&quot; thing, I have no intimate knowledge of that. those were my observations. Some of the things expressed, those were opinion. Anything regarding the HProcess, pretty much fact. 

I&#039;ll leave it @ that. 

You tarnish his name while simultneously attracting traffic by using it (like in my case, i have never been to this site prior reading this entry)
========================
Hmm....ok. Thanks for coming thru. But out of my own curiosity, how did you end up here a.) if you don&#039;t fuck w/Charles and b.) you&#039;ve never been here before?

Right there you prove that your own motivation is monetarily related so whos the sellout? 
====================
O rly lol?</description>

		<description>the fact that you include soulja boy&#039;s release date at the end of your blog entry makes you look like a part of the marketing conspiracy you&#039;re alleging.

interesting you didn&#039;t mention that this manufacturing &#039;e-beef&#039; occurred in close proximity to soulja boy&#039;s release date...a guy whose single was serviced to radio in late october and is currently not even in the *top half* of the hot 100 and has peaked at ***40*** on the hot r&amp;b charts after seven weeks. that boy has no buzz. dropping in the fourth quarter without a hot single = recipe for flop, especially for a singles-driven artist like soulja boy. if he does 50k, i&#039;d be shocked.</description>

		<description>How ironic that he just landed on XXL&#039;s cover a month ago.  And just like that, poof!  He&#039;s gone.

I&#039;m telling you, these dumb-ass rappers better start investing more money in good public relations.  

Shout out to the nameless rappers and producers that turned down my monthly fee two years ago.  Where are they now?</description>

		<description>I&#039;m with HIp Hop Fan, Carolina, etc.   I think this entire article is based on alot of convoluted theory and some truly arrogant pretenses as well.   I don&#039;t even know where to start - and im not a big CH fan. First off, how can you call him a sellout when you out him on your blog because ONE mixtape is leaked on another site.  Right there you prove that your own motivation is monetarily related so whos the sellout?  You would tell me to &#039;be realistic&#039; then realistically speaking I would say that the blogsites/websites referenced (along with many others might I add) have already gotten what they were supposed to get from CH and will continue to.  Every mixtape he released (plus other songs, freestyles, interviews, etc.) gave you people hits on your website/blog just as much as it gave him exposure.  He doesn&#039;t owe the blog/website community jack shit.  You didn&#039;t create his music, his touring, get him his deal, or put in his work. There are many sites but only one CH.  Now, if he and his management had worked out some type of deal with OnSmash and he didn&#039;t honor his part then it is understandable for OnSmash to be unhappy about it. Yet, even they have to be realistic. The segment of this blog entry where you talk about him lacking integrity and not having the balls to stand up against the label is just plain ignorant.  There are countless examples of major label artists with much more sales under their belt (much more leeway for negotiation) who are completely powerless over the labels control of their music.  50 Cent for example was apparently so enraged last year over leaks of songs and videos by interscope that he rampaged through executive offices and even threw a tv out of a window.  You can be sure &#039;his voice was heard&#039;.  What happened?  More material leaked and his marketing plan was completely hijacked by the label.  And bare in mind, his name and brand have sold well over 30 million records for interscope in the span of a few years.  My point is that OnSmash (the only one with a right to even be slightly upset at this) and everyone else in the blogging/hhwebsite community should know that it takes a major label artist years and astronomical sales to have ANY type of say in what is done with their product and even then the label often deviates from what an artist wants or does not want done in order to do what it deems appropriate from am executive perspective -  ESPECIALLY in todays music industry model with things the way that they are. Now you want a 17 year old alternative hip hop artist from Harlem newly signed with a miniscule fan base to throw fits in a boardroom (if he even sat down with execs to discuss this, which i highly doubt he even got a call on the matter)?  That would only damage his already nonexistant leverage with the label. ONsmash should understand logically that there is a very high probability it wasn&#039;t Hamilton but the label who pushed the button (50 is interscope and thisis50.com is his site).  They should keep supporting CH and real Hip Hop (which is what they are supposedly here for) and take any latent hostilities out on the guilty party - interscope. Now any other Hip Hop blogs/websites like this one, should lose this pompous self-deluded sense of entitlement they may have towards CH (and other artists), realize that CH doesn&#039;t owe them a damn thing, and just keep giving us that real hip hop.  Especially when these sites have already profited and benefited from CH in the past and will continue to.  Entries like this one only damage your credibility to the readers.  You tarnish his name while simultneously attracting traffic by using it (like in my case, i have never been to this site prior reading this entry) and many of these other blog/websites have and will continue to leak his music with or without permission. Charles Hamilton is not my style overall right now but he has crazy potential lyrically and I still listen to him from time to time. With a few years he can become a seriously ill emcee (especially if he keeps chilling with Joe Budden, Royce , and the rest of Slaughterhouse). I wish him the best.  I&#039;m sure this blog is dope, but this particular entry was incredibly ignorant.</description>
