Charles Hamilton - The N Word
Artist: Charles Hamilton
Producer: Charles Hamilton
Album: Death of a Mixtape Rapper
Label: NewCo.
In the wake of the controversy stirred up by Nas‘s Untitled album, Charles Hamilton’s new song, The N Word, is refreshingly ironic. Surprisingly, the track is just about as innocent as Mister Rogers. Literally. Apparently, “the N word” can also stand for “neighbor”. The Harlem rapper-producer samples Fred Roger’s Please Won’t You Be My Neighbor, which, in addition to being original as hell, actually comes off as quite dope. Hamilton explores the intricacies of both loving and hating thy neighbor, inserting witty punchlines here and there. While it would be imprudent of me to call him cocky, he has no problem with laughing at his own jokes. The N Word will not appear on his upcoming mixtape, Death Of A Mixtape Rapper, the first in a set of eight that he is calling the Hamiltonization Process.
This song first appeared on the
Rap Chart
on September 2, 2008

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! He did it before me! I so wanted to rap over a Mister Rogers Sample! I knew he was going do it though, cuz he's a pop culture junkie like myself (lol....sorry....me and him been chopping it up on the blog). Homey's insane with it.) I was just watching some of his ciphers earlier and listening to "Jeezy Hamilton". Rappers ain't seeing this cat! This is freaking ill...I been bumping "Windows Media Player" in my IPOD. He was just freestyling on the second verse...lol. This kid's an eclectic beast and like I said about the Chamillionaire track, it's about having fun. I was thinking of CH's style when I was listening to the Chamillionaire joint, because that's something he would do. Oooo....I hope some haters pop up on this joint talking that bullshay so you can become the new topics on THE YOUNG SON BLOG! Bring it on neighbors! P.S: PROPS TO THE HOMEY MR. ROGERS. Rest in Peace famo.

This the second dude I've heard to do a PBS sample to. I just started listen to the rapper BLU (Yeah, I'm way late with that), and on that bonus joint, he sampled that song "I'm Blue" by Grover on Sesame Street. I like this type of ish forreal!

R.I.P. Mr Rogers. This is classic for his sample alone. The N word? This is simply classic. Charles Hamilton is making some good music out of unheard of samples. This dude is the truth.

I couldn't help but laugh at the sample and chorus. He's laid back, love the mellow energy he has on this. He's a danger in disguize, the industry better watch out. Originallity, comedy, and realness all in one. 5 stars~(**)~

The sample is too loud, u right that-1-dj! I'm practically listening only to it, I don't even pay attention to Hamilton...and after a while it gets really repetitive! I like the idea, but the result isn't excellent to me

RileyFreeman, it's clear you didn't even listen to the song and just read the title. You didn't even see it wasn't the "N" word you assumed it would be. So what's out of hand? All I hear is ignorance. The "N" just stood for "Neighbor". Yo, and just for Kicks, I'm finna go see how many of the people on here saying that the sample on this beat is repetitive gave Lil Wayne's Bangladesh produced "Milli" more than 2 stars. That's just my 2 cents...and then some. Don't worry, I'll be back.

Charles Hamilton's creativity in his production and lyrics is too CRAZY!!! Slowly, but surely, these new rappers on the scene will resurrect Hip-Hop (Not to say rappers now ain't doin their thing, Wayne, Lupe, Kanye, Game, Even Travis McCoy)! HaHa! XV, Charles Hamilton, Evangelist, are some dudes I cant wait to come up! Thank You!

I honestly don't know what it is maybe it is the way my Altec Lansing speakers are but the production is just too loud for me to completely understand what he's saying. But crazy props for the MR. RoGers sample I've been waiting for someone to hit that up for a long time. 4 for the sample, 3 for the production (unless it is just my speakers) and tbd on the lyrics.

Haha RileyFreeman got her s*it split LOL! You can't ask for anything more creative than this...pure genius. Just when I was jumping on his bandwagon after that Windows Media Player joint he goes and drops this, making me feel guilty that I haven't heard of him any sooner! This dude better get an album rolling off the bat ASAP!

I did some tweaking on my speakers and I am waiting for a sample of some Sonic the hedgehog (Sonic boom intro from Sega CD with the game over from Sonic the hedgehog (Genesis)) and you have potential to blow ppl away.
