Dear Charles Hamilton…

Sit down, son. This is not hate, just advice.
Some of us have been silently watching your most loyal fans and avid haters argue about you since you first stepped foot on the scene. Since then, some of those fans have just stopped keeping track of the number of mixtapes you would drop and toes you would step on. Frankly, the large majority of them are now on the “hater” list. You have had no shortage of bridges burned, sir. As for me, I felt that there were glimmers of potential not worth being snuffed so early by youthful missteps and so maintained indifference. That was until this week.
Son, you fucked up. Irrevocably. Not like when you dissed Soulja Boy, or Rhymefest, or Serius Jones, or Cory Gunz, or whoever else. Not like when you got chinchecked by your girl on tape, or got your anus loosened by some random college kid in a freestyle battle. Hell, not even like when you jacked Black Spade’s beat…although that was a close call.
You sir, committed the cardinal sin by relentlessly disrespecting a fallen Hip-Hop legend.
No need for specifics because enough has been said on how epic of a fail that was. Son, when Ma Dukes herself chimed in, and not in your favor, it was a wrap. With the world now scrutinizing your credibility and aborting your bastard career before it even sees the light of day, you may need to rethink your whole strategy.
There is no remedy for this shitstorm that you’ve stirred up, but there is a way you can at least peacefully exit, stage left, without making any further mess. It’s a very simple 5 step process that most of us go through on a day to day basis, and that you will have to familiarize yourself with sooner or later.
Step 1: Find your pride.
Step 2: Swallow it.(none)
Step 3: Acknowledge your faults. Apologize sincerely to all offended parties and the public at large and take Dilla’s name off your damn CD.
Step 4: Do what you came here to do. Make music. Establish yourself. You have a good machine behind you (aiyo!). Use it to your advantage.
Step 5: Shut the Hell up. Silence is golden. Get some media training. The road ahead of you could be very long or very short, depending on how much or how little you say.
If that’s really not your style, there is another alternative. Most people will agree that this one suits you a lot better. In fact, a recent poll shows that the public would prefer that you chose this route. It’s a one step process.
Step 1: Kill yourself Find another career.
If I were you, I’d do the other things and call it a day.
Peace.

good advice.
I wonder what’s next for “Charles Hamilton” week.
Nah but honestly this whole situation is out of control but yall already knew that. I’m not really a fan of his but I hope all this ends. I don’t know about you but I could benefit from less internet tomfoolery.
Music first.
Put a muzzle on all speaking privileges & take away his keyboard.
Hamilton, needs to chill before MaDukes gets in his ass.
>> Sit down, son. This is not hate, just advice.
nah u hating b
This is a great lesson for future artist; leave the tomfoolery for the fools and let the music speak for you.
This cat just needs to get some ass. Some female ass. I bet ol’ girl that chin checked him was the last time he got laid. And she was looking kinda rough. And for her to just swing on him like that means he probably was on some weak shit. CH, be a man you pussy.
Some one needs to do a letter to charles hamilton song because this kids career is DONE LOL
Damn. I mean, what more is there to say? RIP Dilla.
I’ve removed all Charles Hamilton off of the hard drive!
@nation: not nearly, thun. I had some harsh words, but I put them where I put his mixtapes: far far far far away.
The record shows I have *never* said anything negative about lil homie. If anything, I’ve cheered and cosigned. But now he’s just tap dancing on a minefield hoping for no explosion.
THAT was a fucking great post.
‘Speshly the five steps stuff. Well done TTSSSSSS
shoutout to Contra for this….
“Sonic” needs to drop an “I’m Sorry” track (in Autotune to guarantee mass radio play) before “Dr. Robotnik” gets in that ass….
His music is weak as fuck on top of all the garbage that has happened.
Fuck him. I saw a post somewhere today about how to ruin charles hamilton.
I lol’d and agree unfortunately for him he set his own wheels in motion and doesn’t need a push from anyone.
What the fuck WAS a C.Hamilton?
Charles Hamilton is, and alwayws will be garbage. Yup.
L after L after L. Dude’s pathetic.
That cat is like how Mase was in the 90’s = HATED!
Charles Hamilton is wack…
Mase had cred at one point C.Hamilton has not.
Mase >>>> C.hamilton everyday of the week and twice on saturdays.
harsh. im not a hamilton fan and its wack but dont blow it out of proportion. its not disrespect, its dickriding. but he knew it would stir up controversy probably, and thats what makes it terrible. still though, you are doing exactly what he wants you to do. perhaps it needs to be said, i doubt ma dukes really wrote that though.
I wasn’t sold on this guy from the get go, despite his prolific work ethic. Whatever talent & potential he possesses has been overshadowed by his antics. Should he be given a chance to redeem himself? Can he?
I don’t really care.
Contra, you’re a gentleman & a scholar for having been gracious enough to drop jewels, but unlike the video game character he obsesses over, he won’t bother picking them up. Even if he does, it won’t be of much help.
I will continue to NOT pay him any mind, while folks who respond to him give him an opportunity to run his girly mouth.
This cat just needs to get some ass. Some female ass.
===========
LOL
I still get how cats are constantly calling his music weak.
If this were Wayne putting out countless tapes…
at least Chucky did that song with Crooked I and had the decency to let him go first so you know when to hit the skip button
I read his blog earlier, he took Dilla’s name off. And why does mama Yancey have a twitter account?
Gotty™ Says:

________________________
I hate that tatted gremlin. And not because of the mixtapes. somewhere between the autotune and the market saturation, he became completely repulsive.
no fly zone for charlie he really fucked up now talking wreckless to hex and shoes is a no no
looks like even royce dont want to save his ignorant ass anymore
seeeeeeeegaaaaaaa
seeeeeeeegaaaaaaa
____
LOL.
CH has become Lane Kiffin…. shootin’ his mouth off and playin’ himself without actually playing the game.
dude needs to go back to the minors and relearn his craft.
Jesus H. Christ…Does anyone else in a healthy mental state actually believe Dilla would of advocated violence in any capacity? I take Charles Hamilton about as seriously as I would Dog the bounty hunter. The kid knows not what he does. Furthermore how can motherfuckers (his kin and close friends mind you) be more the fuck off target from the message Dilla was trying to send through his music in the very first place….
A damn shame. I am guessing that homie should take the second path advised to him.
Hold up nation, this ain’t hate, I’ll show you what real hate is

Just read the entire fucking post.
@WW i had this conspiracy theory yesterday whilst at work that maybe charles hamilton was just light years ahead of everyone else intelligence wise because the first dude he argued with said he didn’t know Dilla or his family, but was ripping on little chuck for not knowing them either. Not to give him any sort of pass, just interesting to think about I guess. And to add to a question posed above, why does ma dukes have a twitter account?
I was watching this whole thing and it is sad that it came to this. I am actually amazed that people want to go as far as violence killing lil’ dude…wow!!
Yes he was wrong…but to kill dude…smh…and grown men threatening the boy..come on now..i get, i do..i love Dilla (R.I.P) too and yes he got waayy ahead of himself, but then I read his blog and he was explaining why he done it..it pissed me off, b’cos even though he was coming from a ‘good’ place, he should have apologised and acknowledged that he was wrong.
Alas, he’s too cocky (and NOT in that Kanye way) and is blinded by his pride. He’s used to being the underdog, but he should humble himself for real. As I think this outcome could have been avoided.
However, *confession time* I still check for him and some of his music - it’s like watching something you know you shouldn’t but you cannot avert your eyes. *shrugs shoulders*.
@OneLove - I too wondered about the Ma Dukes acct. It’s like someone else wrote that (not that I KNOW her), but it stuck out as a ‘hmm’ moment).
..i get *it*
Somebody once told me…. “It’s better to keep ones mouth closed and appear a fool than to open it and remove all doubt”.
I think that pretty much sums up Hamilton in a nutshell (pause).
update - Ma Dukes speaks on it…
