Charles Hamilton - Sega Music (Last of the Mauritians)
Artist: Charles Hamilton
Producer: Charles Hamilton
Album: Unreleased
Label: NewCo.
When I think of Charles Hamilton, Joe Budden’s Padded Room album cover comes to mind. Or maybe listening to Sonic is more similar to taking the red pill in The Matrix. Regardless, when I pressed the “play” button and listened his latest effort Sega Music (Last of the Mauritians) today, I knew that I’d be reviewing art that treads the line between originality and insanity. I was not disappointed, as Hamilton’s production alone could be enough to put an audiophile on tilt through the inaudible murmurs of the beat. While everyone seems to have an opinion of CH, prompting the kind of vicious debates usually reserved for politics and Justin Bieber, the combination of his wild lyrical content and his ear for, um, uniqueness always keeps me interested in what’s to come from the eclectic emcee. If you also want to see where this rabbit hole goes, be sure to keep it locked to the Booth for more leaked records from Hamilton as he builds momentum for his “official” single, dropping in May.

Kinda wierd, but I can't hate on Charles Hamilton, he is doing his own thing.

That sample is SO distracting - I had no idea what he said during the entire first verse. It's not too comfortable if you have to strain your ear to hear what he's talking about.
The record as a whole carries along well, though, but I think Sega works better as a video game. |

I've been listening to a lot of Hamilton lately. It amazes me that people would rather talk about his personal life issues over the insanity that is his wordplay and lyrical dexterity. He says some "really made me think" sh*t.
Anywho, on Sega Music is the rhymes are cool but the production is WAY over the top. Too much going on to enjoy listening again and again. |

This track is too sloppy and unfocused.

What the fcuk is this dude's problem? Albeit he is never the problem on his records, as a whole his joints are sooo hit-or-miss that its annoying. When the formula ("outside the box" sample selections) links up right it can be pure dopeness, otherwise, lets say that its hard to sit through the entire song.

People are so divided in Hamilton that I think it makes them almost unable to listen to his music objectively. I'm not necessarily above that, but trying to be as objective as possible I'd say that this track, like a lot of his music, is big on ideas but suffers a little in the execution. Still, I'm interested enough to play it a few times, props to Hamilton.

I don’t like this at all. I think Charles is better than people think but this is a poor song.

I LOVE the beat but he sounds weak and the woman in the background is rather annoying. The hook ain't bad, I like the background music

This song was sweet. It had an interesting feel to it. Nothing like what I have ever heard before. Also had an interesting beat of a girl singing in the background I really would like to know what she was saying

im all about flow matching production but the thing with C.Hamilton is that is almost never the case. i dnt know if thats is an endearing quality or something annoys me. thats exactly how i feel about this. on one side this joint is hugely annoying and on another it seems ingenious and innovative. some grey area shit
