I don’t know where you guys are getting the story…check this out it’s the most accurate.
CH is a fucking herb…Casketface of emcees.

June 9th, 2009 at 10:48 am
If CH wants to give bread to Dilla’s fam so be it. Giving him an executive producer credit could be construed as trying to capitilize off the name but lets be real Dilla wasn’t a mainstream dude so it’s not like attaching his name to a record guarantees success. CH’s problem is conflict resolution, as soon as someone offers any type of opinion that differs in anyway from his he starts bitching like a little girl. That type of behavior alienates people and in a business where your financial well being is based on how many people u draw in that shit is dangerous and/or dumb as shit.
June 9th, 2009 at 10:49 am
imagine someone offering to give me FREE money that i sorely NEED, without having to ASK for it ..
and then i tell them “WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?”

does every gift or act of charity HAVE to be announced and approved … GTFOH
______________________________________________
Charlie’s the one announcing all this fuckery…he can make a donation that’s fine. But you aren’t following the story. He’s talking about a foundation that is now defunct, and he’s talking about his “close relationship” with people who don’t know him.
He can talk metaphorically about being “Sonic” and how that translates to life. It’s herb status but he can do that.
But when you start talking about weird shit about being close with the dead and knowing everyone they know, and using this paranormal experience to promote your new album…people are gonna feel a certain way. He could have explained himself instead of popping off to these people.

LOL @ 50 having a “legacy” ….
at the end of the day … he’s the most overrated and overcompensated rapper in hiphop history …
no disrespect to eminem and tupac’s overratedness, but at last them 2 actually had moments of great emceeing … 50 just made a couple catchy jingles over killer beats … that aint his legacy, thats Dre and Jimmy Iovine’s legacy for re-creating him as a commercial artist

Wow, one of the realest things you ever wrote.

Charles had a bright start, but all the self-ether is killing him right now. On the net at least. Not sure what kind of response he’s getting outside of the websites and blogs. He just needs to focus on making good music and outside of the booth keep a sock in his mouth(nh). If he does that he’ll be fine.

charles doesnt owe 2dopeboys, eskay, rexhussla, rjorion ANY explanation … the media world has taken on a sense of entitlement that borders on selfrighteousness and complete hippocracy …
if he credited to the wrong foundation, that can be fixed … it seems his intentions were pure … instead of ridiculing him, maybe niggiz should just help him channel the monies to the right place … maybe they mad cause THEY cant or wont do shit for Dilla’s family …
like Termanology … right … im sure he gave mad money to Ms Yancey ..

^I completely agree with that statement and I’d even say that it transcends hip-hop and it’s all forms of media that have this entitlement thing going on. I saw some dude last night on one of those entertainment shows this chick i fuck with was watching. The dude was getting pissed that John Travolta hadn’t issued an interview regarding the DEATH OF HIS SON.

And yes the Ecstatic is dope.
Yes Dame Grease is criminally underrated like Black Milk. Although i rather listen to Black Milk beats depending on the mood.
And yes i think Charles has herb tendencies but as everyone knows, it has no bearing the music, therefore it’s inconsequential (you know had i had to throw that in there).
Any yes i think Lands disdain for Terminology is unwarranted (duke could spit).
And no i don’t think Jay’z legacy can be ruined.
June 9th, 2009 at 11:11 am
I agree Land.
Charles may be goin about certain things the wrong way (as usual), but it seems like he has good intentions & probably planned on doing this a long time ago. He was probably very proud of himself.
even if it is for publicity, it is also publicity for Jay $tay Paid, right? Which is good for Jay’s fam.

true … but remember, the culture in hiphop has always gone against a refined, polished public image … it wanted its artist ornery and cantankerous because that image was allegedly “gully” or “real” or “gangsta”, and sold units …
Motown was the last label (bad-boy tried) that concetrated on total artist development …
June 9th, 2009 at 11:14 am
Yeah but Land
Why he gotta make Dilla Executive Producer to give his mother money…?
If he’s actions were PURELY charitable, he could of just given her money…or did his research and donated to a fund..Having J. Yancey on your CD is benefitting YOU more than anyone else…That name holds more weight than Charles Hamilton’s…In ANY circle. And Whether thats his intentions or not, thats what it looks like. And he aint doin a good job of explaining
And if you yourself believed he would get punched in his face for publicity, why you think this cant be the same kinda shit…?

Cudi will be alright…he can’t really spit like that though [ll]. He’s better off crafting 15-20 songs that are timeless and releasing them at once, rather than just spitting mixtape shit. Because a lot of his “freestyles” are missing something.

And this is all Im saying.
