Tupac - "Do For Love"

I remember being a youngin (lol) listening to music. I was raised in the South, so at the time, all that was on the radio was Lil' Jon, T.I., Pastor Troy, and some other local dudes that wasn't really hot at all... I mean, they sucked (the local dudes, not T.I. T.I.'s been that dude for a long time). But moving on...

I remember the first time I heard this song. It didn't really click in my head or anything about how good the song was, because I was too busy watching the animated video and wondering to myself, "Ain't this dude dead?!?!?!" But I got a little older, went through a couple of situations, and then I LISTENED to this song, and it's one of my favorite songs of all time now.



I know that big for me to say I have a favorite Tupac song, but this one is mine because the message is more real in this song than most of rap thats out now. No riddles, no inside-lingo you have to catch up on, no diss, no nothing. It's simple, it's laid out, and it's relatable to anybody who's been in the situation before, even if it's partly or fully.

I think that's dope... But maybe it's just me?

Be Easy.

By the way...I'd LOVE to see what C.H. would do with that hook in an instrumental... haha...

Just some fan art





I'm a big fan of Charles so why not make some nice art with photoshop, I thought to myself. This is what came out. Two slightly different versions, just playing with effects, etc. Hope you all like em. Made while listening to Crack a Blogger on repeat haha.

Oh and Charles, if you ever get the chance maybe post some good quality pictures of your self since there are like none to be found on the internet.


A Taste of Hamilton Mixtape


This is the very first mixtape sponsored by this blog. Charles Hamilton has countless and countless of numbers of mixtapes. "A Taste of Hamilton" mixtape is essentially a compilation of Charles Hamilton's best works. The purpose of the mixtape is as follows: trying to promote Charles Hamilton to others. Personally, I have found it difficult to get my friends to begin to listen to Charles because he has so many songs. This mixtape is Charles Hamilton's unofficial (because it is not made by Charles Hamilton himself) pre-Perfect Life mixtape.

I ask everyone to download this tape and either burn a copy or send a link to your friends. This mixtape gives people a taste of what CH is all about and gives a little taste of every style he has to offer. The ultimate goal is to create a continuous chain of sharing this mixtape to more and more people to create a larger fan base for Charles Hamilton.

Memories: Incubus - Drive




This was the first track that I heard from Incubus. I actually saw the video on TV and instantly fell in love with the track. Everytime I hear it, it reminds me of my first big love and how we had the track on repeat for hours while just chillin' in my room.

Yeah, I had a good time with Stephanie, and I like to watch this video/listen to the track and just remember the time we had together.

Basically, I think this is what music should be about...it should help you to remember certain things or moments that happened in your life...this is one of the few tracks that does that for me...it'll always be there for me to remember the time that I had with Steph.

Thanks Incubus!

Charles Hamilton and Briana... The Aftermath lol



Like the dude said, you gotta respect Charles for the way he handled the situation, and I can't believe that some of the comments on various sites are clowning on Charles for "not hitting her back"... wow.... To any dude out there who believes that Charles should have hit her back, you are not a real man, enough said...

Nothing to do with the whole situation, but this song is dope... so I'm just throwing that out there lol

DAmn

Domestic violence. I semi-covered that topic on "This Perfect Life", but I feel as tho in light of recent events that it needs to be further addressed.

It is a form of manipulation and control on the side of whoever swings. Even in homosexual/lesbian couples, there is physical, emotional, and often times spiritual abuse. It is not just for "regular" couples. At the same time, the affects of it are universal.

So I basically just wanna know how such abuse can be prevented. Is it a necessary fact of life (abuse), or is it a curable disease of relationship mastery.

Hit me back here or on the CH blog.

YOU KNOW!!!

This Perfect Preview


I will preview a song from "This Perfect Life" on my show
(whenever the idiots who run the server decide to fix it so I can do my show again)

Do you want to hear a preview from "Ghosts" or from "Cable in the Classroom"

Vote via @replying to my Twitter or commenting here

Personally Ghosts is my favorite from the album, but Cable in the Classroom is dope as hell too

I do my show's usually Late every Friday night, so you have until Friday to vote!!

So what do you wanna hear?

In defense of charles being punched in the face

I was hesitant in writing this post. For one maybe by this time everyone forgot about the video of CH being punched by a girl during a freestyle. However, I have a few things I need to say.

One, I read some idiot blogs (not naming names) that said that Charles should have hit her back. I was shocked when i read that cause it is so hypocritical of people. When Rihanna gets mulled by Chris Brown and everyone became furious at Chris Brown. But Charles Hamilton, a good guy, does not punch back a women after she punched him... Is a pussy? wow! if anyone thought that charles should pull a Chris Brown then you need some serious consoling. Two, Charles was totally unprepared for such a crazy girl to throw a punch at him out of no where. It could happen to anyone, seriously. It would not make a difference if it were cudi, roth or even drake... no one can anticipate a punch. In fact i bet any of those guys would have known better than to punch back... in public. geez... a crazy women punches a guy in the face on the street and the guy is the victim for not teaching her a "lesson." now that is a f@#ked up logic.


i aint worried about CH, I have not heard any reliable source even take notice of the incident.

Wanna Be a Blogger?

We would love to have more authors blogging on this blog. If you want to become a blogger email us here chstarchasers@gmail.com We need more people to strengthen this movement.

Who is Aja Monet?


Aja Monet is on Charles Hamilton's newest hot leak from the upcoming album, "This Perfect Life." The track is called Rosado and is about the color pink. Charles Hamilton describes the song as, "A dedication to the color of life."

Aja Monet is a poet and this is a little about her:

Bob Holman eloquently describes her as a, "glutton for love and beauty...classically surrealist. I haven't heard a 'humming bird released from a mother's ribcage' in the last week or two, wow."

A Cuban-Jamaican from East NY, Brooklyn, representing Harlem, NY. At only 20 years old, Aja-Monet is currently the youngest Nuyorican Poets
Café Grandslam Champion and placed top 20 out of hundreds of poets across the nation in 2007. She has been on the Urban Word NYC Slam Team in 2005 and represented New York City at the Brave New Voices Inter-National Poetry Slam in San Francisco, reigning, as the first NYC team to ever win the Youth National Poetry Slam team title.

Aja-Monet's poetry is a startling, soul warbling movement with a voice whose cadence dances strong and beautifully on the ear. Often received
by both poetry and Hip Hop crowds, her poetry moves one to a place of inspiration and sincere thought. Her work is a vulnerable internal reflection conveying a love and emphasis of human compassion and connection.

She has been featured in Say It Loud magazine, The Brooklyn Rail, Beyond Race Magazine, and on the MNN television channel. Monet has
shared the stage and performed for the likes of Russel Simmons, Reverend Run, Foxy Brown, Doug E Fresh, Wyclef Jean, Ice T, Roxanne Shante as well as countless others.

A vivid, raw, and real expression of her experience and imagination, Aja-Monet moves audiences of all sorts. She has been reviewed in the New York Times along with Camille A. Brown and Dancers for her "bold, glistening spoken word imagery" as quoted by Gay City News.

Monet currently dedicates her time working with inner-city youth and poetry for non-profit organizations such as Urban Word NYC, In Arms
Reach, and Odyssey House. She attends Sarah Lawrence College where she is studying Writing and Religion.






I think she is pretty dope. This was a genius move by CH because how many rappers do you know have real poets on there tracks? Not many. And the fact that the song was very good, makes it all the more better. The song is about the color pink, but that is symbolic of how pink is the symbol of Charles poetic side. To be a poet one must be able to express their inner most self in a artistic way. It can be argued that Charles Hamilton is amazing poet.

Aja Monet is incredible. I am not a poetry buff, however I do not know how one can not be blown away by her.

Carpe Diem = Seize the Day

This movie, Dead Poets Society, is all about what Starchasers stand for in my opinion. If you have not seen the movie, i highly recommend it. It is a great movie and the lessons it has to teach are important. I think that Charles Hamilton is like the teacher Mr. Keating in the movie.

Starchasers Mantra Coming Soon...

Lupe and the FnF army that I happened to be also apart of has a We Are Lasers Manifesto or Mantra. Charles Hamilton is very impressed with that idea. As we all know, Charles Hamilton has his own definition of supporters:

I don't consider supporters, fans. Fans is too generic. You're a supporter, and I'm humbled by your support. Holla back...

~~Charles Hamilton~~
***beep***


This was from a letter he sent me once.


"We are Starchasers!" (a rendition of "we are sparta" from 300"


There has not been an official Manifesto or Mantra for Starchasers. I have seen on other blogs some peoples own versions and they are all good.


Here is my task to you, fellow Starchasers, put down a Bylaw for the Starchasers Mantra in the comment section.
Or if you prefer to email a whole list, send it here --> chstarchasers@gmail.com

Please make it meaningful. Then I would take them and put the ideas in a voting pull to narrow down to about 10 or so. Then create the official one to be approved by the Talented Mr. Hamilton.


Click the link below to see Lupe's version. This is the mantra idea Charles has in mind,

Quote For The Night



"...Any ol human can write within the margines.. But an artist is the
fallen tree heard from the forest..."
-CH


"Street Smart"



For all those that like to spray all up on ur mama's walls in the house (and I say ur mama because im sure YOU not paying no rent up in that piece) Here's a story about how some can take their grafitti talents and use them for something POSITIVE. Grafitti is (IMO) the "lost" element of hip hop. With the new age tagging has pretty much has evolved into graphic design and there are ALOT of young, urban,talented, and gifted designers out there! Take that talent that God has blessed you with and do something with it fools!!!!! Stop blaming stuff on the alcohol my brothers....:)

Bevery Hills, CA - It's near midnight on Rodeo Drive, one of the most famous and elegant streets in the world. A small group of graffiti bandits and taggers apply their trade on the construction frontage of a world-famous design shop. Vandalsim? Graffiti? Hardly. The work is a commissioned piece and the "vandals" are all are former graffiti outlaws who have pooled their talents to from ICU -- In Creative Unity, a mobile artists colony that creates wonderous spray paint murals for business and communities.

In Creative Unity is the brain child of Stash Maleski, a former graffit outlaw himself. The group was formed a year after the L.A. riots as a collaborative focal point for artists, curators and organizations dedicated to bringing graffiti art to a new level.

The mural on Rodeo Drive was commissioned by a famous retailer. ICU was recommended to the client by the Beverly Hills Arts Commission who have lavished high praise on ICU's work. The art must work late at night when the shops are closed; but traffic on onlookers still stream by.The Mural in Bevery Hills
Detail on MuralICU artists conceived the concept, sketched the design, and executed the work. They use refined and modified versions of standard spray paint cans. By using special techniques these skilled artisans show their true talents, and stay away from trouble.

VYAL started tagging at age 13, and then graduated to more advanced forms of graffiti art. The life of an outlaw graffiti artist is not an easy one. In addition to the ever-present threat of arrest there are also the hazards of stepping on the toes of other taggers as well as the gangs which protect their turf, and their graffiiti spots, to the death. VYAL: "I never imagined I'd ever being doing murals on Rodeo Drive!"
