As one of the most trusted voices of subconsciousness for Hip-Hop artists, Anthony Hamilton still holds rank as one of the most consistent developers of the rhythm and blues circuit. Gearing up for his sixth solo album titled The Point Of All, Mr. Hamilton shows why his outlook on life allows him to be the best musician, husband, and overall human being possible.

But akin to the album’s first single with David Banner and the President-elect Barack Obama, he just plays it “Cool.”

TSS: So the name Point Of It All sounds pretty serious. Has Anthony Hamilton reached his breaking point?

Anthony Hamilton: The Point Of It All is me getting to a place where I’m starting to realize, not only am I in a relationship and been going through things but the WHY? of it all. Why am I going through it, what made me tick, what made me mess up, what made me do good. You know, what made her change, what makes love: love. All these things, raise curiosity. But we’re doing it to a different tempo this album. You don’t always have to be contemplating things to a slow groove. So we’re picking up the pace with this one.

Anthony Hamilton: Aw naw! They gonna be extremely pleased with this one.

TSS: So what made you up and decide to work with David Banner?

Anthony Hamilton: Oh you know, that’s my nig. We both country as corn with polyester and polyurethane draped around it. We had been talking about collaborating forever and we finally made it happen. Read the rest of this entry »

We all know breakups & the heartache associated with the shit. The outlandish behavior that you start to do after your main slim leaves the stable. Drinking/smoking heavily while sitting around intoxicated, telling your side of the story to anyone who’ll listen. Walking around in a stupor, alternately of “what if’s” & “fuck that bitch/nigga.” Messing around with less than dimes. Even if you do find a suitable replacement, you still find yourself picking apart their shortcomings because “you’re not them.” That “steel stomach ache” that pains your sleep, sometimes even your waking moments.

Anthony Hamilton always manages to cap that bottom-feeling. Read the rest of this entry »
