Charles Hamilton - Gauchos
Artist: Charles Hamilton
Producer: Jim Jonsin
Album: Untitled (TBD)
Label: NewCo.
We all know that Charles Hamilton has a left field artistic sense – after all, he rocked his All Pink Everything campaign for a good year – and sure enough the hedgehog everyone loves to hate continues to push boundaries on his new single Gauchos. On the beat side of the equation producer Jim Jonson drops a pretty decent beat that by my second listen I was ready to call a banger. As for Charles, where do I start? In the intro Hamilton claims that since he just came from Atlanta he’s hooking up Harlem with some ATL snap music, but as an ATL resident I can assure you no Atlanta music sounds anything like this. And while Charles’ flow is nice throughout the song, the lyrics can get repetitive and tedious. By shouting out Harlem almost every other word, it’s hard for me to believe that this song will get spins in any other city besides NY. Charles has done better in the past, but maybe his untitled and unscheduled new album will prove to be better. For now, we can only listen and wait.

As any longtime Booth regular knows I have long been a fan of Charles. From the time I interviewed him and he spit an off the cuff five minute freestyles I was convinced of his talents. Sadly, none of what pulled me into this fold is on display here. The vocals are a mess and come across as quite annoying. Jonsin's production, as JR pointed out, isn't bad at all and would have sounded great behind Redman.
In the end, we all know (the mastermind included) that Charles is capable of better. Hopefully on the next "official" release we get that.

Uno Star from Z? Thats the first in a long time... This beat is hard!! But I had to turn it off because he got very annoying fast. I understand the reason for a 1 star. I give it a 1.5.

The hook is so off the wall. Its got a quirky appeal to me though. The beat goes hard from the beginning. I can imagine this being the next Krispy... as odd as that sounds. I think yall were too quick to judge.

I hate Charles Hamilton, but this song is hot. The chorus is odd, I mean...gauchos? But Jim Jonsin supplied a nice beat, so I had to give at least a 3. It flowed nice to me.

Mr. Inconsistent drops a decent sounding track here. The production from Jonsin is dope and while the hook is a little annoying, Hamilton overall sounded decent. This could get some plays on the radio, which I guess is what Hamilton was going for when he made this track.

the beat is ridiculous! the beat puts this song higher than it probably is, but i really love the beat and because of that, add the completely odd chorus it gets 3 stars. 2.75 stars simply for the beat though.

As I wrote elsewhere (and Blaze31 alluded to) Charles is becoming Nicki Minaj-ish to me, in that all his flows are "crazy", but they're all "crazy" in exactly the same and predictable way. I can't get quite as worked up as Z about this, but there's not a lot to like here.
And how bad is Jim Jonsin trying to sound like The Neptunes here?

This track wasn't as bad as a lot of people have been claiming. Probably would not play this again and the main reason is strictly because of the hook. It sounds so obnoxious and forced it made me shut the track off after the second verse was over. At the same time, verses didn't really keep my attention either. Jonsin's production seemed really simple and was also a downfall of this track. 1.5

All those joints preceding this "anticipated single" were much better. They were total mixtape material, but still worlds apart (in a Charles Hamilton way) from any other rapper's mixtape stuff.
1.5 I am more optimistic for his future than I am inclined to spend much more time listening to this particular song. Nuff' said. |

What everybody else said. What track did the Booth decide NOT to feature because it wasn't good enough, but some how this was worthy enough to post on the site ???????

I do not know what you guys are listening to because CH is on the comeback with this one! The beat on this one is Neptunes-esque and allows Charles Hamilton to release the beast within. His voice is really agressive like always and his lyrics definitely shine. You can say he is taking a different approach with his music currently because this could possibly reach the mainstream audience. This song is fire! "Ain't no one ready to see Harlem on that new shit." I guess DJBooth definitely isnt. Gaucho!!

I must say that the beat is what caught my ears at first. Then, the repetition of the chorus gets stuck in your head and makes you want to hear it again. It just gets more, and more stuck in your head.

This song was good, the beat is nice and everything flowed smoothly, this sounds like a good party song, this should get plated on the radio. Charles needs to be played on the radio, he's got the talent.
