Updates about stuff. EnterTheHamilton Blog

The Pink Lavalamp is no longer for sale online. Many reasons. Magic is involved. Toya is not. I'm working on it. Until then, search for it on YouTube. You can find it @SegaHamiltonZone (a channel I do not own or upload onto).

Or, check it out here.
Literally, here.

This track is dope, Charles on some primo s*** with those piano chops lowkey. I remember another song with the same Curtis Mayfield sample. “I want you so bad but you know I’m bad for youuu” paraphrasing but a dope falsetto hook on that old one. This flip is crazy

Damn that’s real life s***

That's the link.

Awesome, just wish it had the original cover.

The original cover is classic, but this newer cover went with The Black Lavalamp that dropped in 2019 (a year after Charles first dropped the Pink Lavalamp vinyl)

Super Mario Movie in AI

I have been silently yet visibly distancing myself from SEGA. They are very limited in their thinking, and only about a buck these days. I am disappointed that my childhood dream is being deduced to a money-making franchise. This is part of the reason I don't want to get back in to the game.

I entered the game with my heart. I SUPER love Jimmy Iovine, Theo was like a big brother, Simone Porter was my heart, Eminem my idol, Dr. Dre goals, etc. When I got there, those I mentioned were cool, but those under them were calling the shots. I made music from the heart while on Interscope. The Hamiltonization Process was from the heart. I wrote StarChasers from the heart. It was from the heart that I was told to make free music.

Republic loved my free music, but management (name censored) only wanted the music from the in-house production team. I did the best I could while with them, and they wore me out energy wise. I remember I had just performed at Summerjam 2015 (NYC), and they rushed me, after my performance, to the studio to work on a record with me and Justin Bieber. I had no sleep from the night before, had to turn up onstage, dehydrated, medicated... and they want me to rap Busta fast on a lame ass beat.

Fuck it. I did it. And Bieber denied the record.

So much for energy.

I think the music I make on my own is epic. The mix on Computer Voodoo is bigger than the Hypergoth! mix. Still, people lean towards Hypergoth! because it was a "studio" mix.

Electronic Voodoo will give you the same thrill. This time, I won't be so sedated that I sound nasal-y.

TLDR

Charles blogs about being distant from SEGA lately. His run with Interscope and free music was from the heart.
Republic like his free music but Management wanted "in-house music" and tried to get him a Justin Bieber record after Summerjam 2015 (NYC) with no rest.
and Charles will not be as "sedated" on The Electronic Voodoo Album so he won't "sound nasal-y".

Found this old Earl Sweatshirt tweet

looked like Charles replied in 2015 but is now deleted

#05 for 50

To celebrate Hip-Hop's 50th birthday Charles breaks down 5 of his songs picked randomly.

#5: The Sun Is A Liar

This song was written during the Hamilton, Charles sessions. Literally, between sessions. I was waiting on George Astasio to show up. I had the engineer and my bass player (Brian "B Magic" Cockerham) in the studio already. I felt it. I found the sample "Sun = Liar" in a techno folder of records I have on my drive. I psychically chopped it up. I laid the drums down manually on ProTools (Polow da Don kit). I plugged in the Yamaha Motif and laid down the synth and piano. The whole beat is drums, synth, bass and piano. But I laid the drums, synth and piano down for 8 bars, and had Brian play the bass (with a particular melody) throughout the song.

Then I wrote it.

Technically, I freestyled the 3rd verse. Just to see how it would feel. The first 2 verses were focused battle verses. The last verse was a feel good, free flowing poem. From this song, I found the difference between writing and freetsyling (even though...). 2014, once again.

#4: Baby Says I Want

The beat was produced while Briana was around. She would listen to... her music, I would listen to Gene Loves Jezebel. This beat caught her attention. She was in my room, I was in the house studio. She came in the room dancing. All I could do was smile. This was 2009. I recorded the song in 2010, after I broke up with Briana and tried to holla at Karen Civil again (2nd verse). It was just a random song, but it got picked for the Normalcy project (a Charles Hamilton album without a concept).

#3: Cold Chillin'

This is the instrumental to "Pleasant Overthinking". I'm aware that Mos Def used the same Tom Brock/Barry White record. He did his thing, his way. I actually stumbled upon the record by accident one night. I didn't want to over chop it, but I wanted to make a solid groove with a build-up that I can lyrically SPAZ on, as well as flex my vocals. So I wrote 2 verses with the intention of ending Drake, after rumors of him raping reached Harlem. I wasn't sure, but I sent warning shots just in case. Listen carefully to the song when you get a chance. But yeah. I figure, if Drake is gonna go the Electronic Hip-Hop route, I'm gonna bring Soul to Elektro. Like I was already doing. At least with this song.

#2: The Incubator

Anytime I recorded a song toan #Incubeat of mine, I would consider it for the at-the-time not-yet-recorded "At Most I'm Just...". I planned on the album since I first heard Morning View in 2001. The title was originally "Incubeats". But the lyrics made it deeper. So it's ...

"At Most, I'm Just..." an Incubus fan.

Written during the Awkward sessions in LA (Tom-Tom Club!!!).

I just wanted to go in.

#1 Clowns

I wanted to be a worthy opponent for Eminem, at least for a 3-round battle. So I dove into the world of The Juggalos. I watched Juggalo Championship Wrestling, listened to ALL of ICP's albums... and ended up having a great time. I was clearly depressed and wanted to get slaughtered, but I made great friends with The Juggalos. So I wrote a song dedicated to them.

There is a remix of "Clowns" out there, with ICP ON IT! I don't know when it will ever get heard, but it does exist.

"Well, thank you for your time, Hip-Hop. One thing I can say, while spanning my career through music to make this post. I stayed true to me throughout all of these songs. I started to put NewGirlfriendMusic on here, but it wasn't on the playlist. I'll probably blog about that another time. Anyway..."

AI sees dead people.

...

I really am afraid of death. I realize how much light I bring to the world. Not just with my music. But I try to encourage everyone to keep on going, no matter what. If I die by my own hands, others may follow. That would haunt me in the afterlife, the way I would be haunting you in reality. But I fear death. I always get close, then i stop. Like I lost my motivation to end the misery. I find that misery is only temporary. I also find that you have to work towards ending the misery. It's work, but you can do it.

I hope Google Bard and I were helpful, as far as anecdotes of overcoming suicidal thoughts and feelings to phone numbers and websites to reach out to should you ever feel like you're going there.

I am currently listening to "Fear and Limitations", the last album I recorded before I committed suicide in 2017. I overdosed on my dad's blood pills. And was back before anyone had the chance to miss me. Ask Beyonce and Nicki Minaj. They know. They were there! In Hell, serving The Devil (Prince) as my number was called. As soon as I walked up, they were in SHOCK. Long story short, The Devil said I wasn't done and sent me back to reality (through purgatory). When I came back, I recorded Resurrection of the Mixtape Rapper.

TLDR

Charles Hamilton talks suicide with an AI and recounts when he attempted it in 2017.

Info about Electronic Christmas from the Enter The Hamilton Blog that lead up to the release.

About ElecXmas

-The final chapter in my Mayfield series (Villain., Faithless Pull, Hypergoth!, Computer Voodoo, Electronic Christmas)

-Curtis Mayfield is not the only artist sampled on this album, but a large portion of it has him in it (DIFFICULT to clear a Mayfield sample)

-The album is in alphabetical order, giving the listener a chance to sequence the album their way (unlike PastLove, where the story is told in sequence)

ElecXmas date update

Electronic Christmas was recorded in the studio I recorded Kill the Reaper and Hypergoth!.

Definitely check those two projects out.
