Charles Hamilton - Windows Media Player
Artist: Charles Hamilton
Producer: Charles Hamilton
Album: Unreleased
Label: NewCo.
Let us take a moment to raise a toast to computers and the Internet, the biggest tools in shaping hip-hop into what it is today. While many artists have taken advantage of these technological marvels, producer-songwriter-singer-rapper Charles Hamilton takes it to the Nth degree with his Excel-lent display of Wordplay, Windows Media Player. In addition to making a Power(ful)Point in his lyrics, the Harlem native has composed a hook consisting entirely of his MySpace and Blogspot websites. His biggest display of musical Paint, however, is his sampling of the Windows XP startup, login, and shutdown chimes (with some mouse clicks included) on the production. With all this put together, Windows Media Player should open a few more Gates for Charles Hamilton’s musical future; at the very least, it can be the official theme song for computer/music nerds such as myself.

this is an insanely creative track right here. unfortunately, thats all it really has going for it. aside from its inventiveness the track is lyrically dull, the beat is annoying and the hook is mediocre at best.
creativity this gets a 5/5 unfortunately the track only gets a 2. i can't see this going into rotation anywhere. |

I was wondering when someone was going to do something like this. Yes it is very creative...but I would agree that is all. Like a song called COMPUTER GAMES (can't remember who it was by, gotta check my crates, still have the 12") or the song PAC MAN FEVER it is just a dumb idea to make a song from video game or computer sounds.

Fam, this is such an original idea! That beat is so eclectic! The hook was a little boring, but the wordplay was just as clever as the concept and instrumental! I can't wait for the album! If the hook had of been better, this could have been a classic!

Is this what the rap game has came to? Really, where have the real rappers gone, this song is dumb, absolutely dumb... This just shows how far we have gotten away from our rap roots... Raised in the concrete safari, dude please, no hood dude gon rap bout some Windows Media Player, heard better shit from Vanilla Ice... Won't even rate, 0 all the way...

I definitely agree that the chorus could have been better, but I think he is just trying to promote himself on this joint. Gotta give credit for someone actually making something new and creative which is r a r e. In rotation (if chorus is reworked then 4 stars).

Also, to comment on a previous rater, I'm extremely heated why "hip hop purists" wanna always keep things the same. Innovation is hip hop. I mean, we from on some innovation....but it's innovation nevertheless. Whether it's Kanye West, Soulja Boy or this guy. I love classic hip hop and I love the new school cats still bringing that original sound as well....but I don't frown upon something new either. You wanna talk about hip hop dying? Hip hop dies when we no longer embrace anything new in the genre and just rely on the oldies to give us our "hip hop fix". In all the genres that have "died", this is how it works...with disco and rock n'roll and all of it. People listen to the golden oldies, but they are just memories. I've seen some newbie disco artists, but they don't get any attention, because that genre has died. I feel that is what's going to happen to hip hop if older heads or even just heads whatever age with that purist mindset continue to do. They aren't going to embrace anything new and constantly compare to the older stuff and "hip hop" in a since will die. It makes no sense. The world is evolving, so let the music evolve with it. I'm sure the innovators didn't intend for it to stay the same. There was no Windows or nothing back then, so of course no one would rap about that. But the things that were around, they rapped about. That's the same thing this guy is doing. It's just a new generation. Show some love. Oh, and for anybody who says something dumb like "Why such a long post MichaelHannah", or something, maybe you should expand your opinionated minds and start posting some long responses as well so people can see that intelligence is still around. Peace Easy!

Michaelhannah that was extremely deep, and you made a very valid point. *RESPECT*. Personally I am only giving this song a 2 because I wasnt really feeling his delivery at all. I do think the beat becomes catchy once you start listening to it though.

I second the thoughts of those who have mentioned the creativity behind this new joint. Creativity is something that is seriously lacking in this music game and anyone, Charles Hamilton or otherwise, who provides it gets lots of respect on my end.

I love Charles Hamilton. He's a crazy artist. He's smart, gifted, and I'm probably biased. Listen to this beat!!!! What is wrong with these cats who rated it with one-star....I've been through that whole schpiel already so I'm not going there anymore. This is different. The minute someone talking about standing on the block hustling, cocaine, shawties in the club and/or "a hundred million dollars" can come up with something like this then I'll have nothing to say. Until then...

I like the creativity and originality of the track. The other day, I was in my car listening to the song "car wash," it made me wonder what happen to the days when singers sung about a plethora of topics--and not about cars, money, and women. I appreciate this musical approach by Charles H.
