Didn't he look like he needed a break?

Didn't he look like he needed a break?

Harlem rapper Charles Hamilton has resurfaced after being dropped from his label last year and of course after several public embarrassments and fails.

He recently released what was called on one blog “a rather lengthy letter” to everyone on the internet. Yes, it is lengthy. Yes, it is very, very emo. [Read the letter HERE]

But I can respect a rapper or any entertainer who says look, in a lot of ways I’m overexposed. In a lot of ways that’s my fault. I can’t stop f-ing up, especially in public so I will take several mental health days and stop this painful spectacle from ruining my career and life. Thank You.

Operation Ignore Charles Hamilton

I can meet Charles Hamilton with some patience. Super vlogger supreme Jay Smooth’s words on C Ham get a complete cosign from me.

A long episode that doesn’t have a lot of jokes in it, cuz I really feel bad for the kid and am not trying to clown him. I know he keeps telling himself it’s okay to have everyone hating him as long as they keep paying attention. But at this point it’s clearly not okay. ~Jay Smooth

  • So, rappers writing letters: PASS
  • Rappers taking mental health days: PASS
  • Addressing a letter like this to everyone and not just your fans: FAIL, comes off kind of narcissistic dude.
  • Rappers getting emo: PASS, I’ll bet it’s the wave of the future and C Ham is ahead of his time, but as Bahamadia said, “it ain’t what you do it’s how you do it.” C Ham is not a master of that.
  • Rappers controlling their output and presence on rap blogs: PASS, can’t pass that one enough!
  • Rappers parlaying blog hype into major record deals: PASS, that was the dream right?
  • Learning so much in front of everyone on the internet: PASS, because C Ham is a child star. Dude could have Dana Plato’ed himself a long time ago and didn’t. If he learns to finesse this he could make a difference in the game, not in terms of art necessarily, but in terms of how he might parlay slivers off blog hype into a comeback and a career.

    • Overall this letter gets a PASS from me, even though I could have been doing a lot of other things with all that time or grammar copping it with my red pen.

    I’ll give his latest, “Normalcy” a chance though I’ve never been a fan.

    I just think rap could use some mental health work and so could Black people in general. Anything that moves us in that direction is good. Maybe we could prevent another Roxanne Shante type situation and wouldn’t that be worth it?
