Rapper Charles Hamilton has penned an open letter to Eminem thanking him for inspiring his music and explaining how much of an impact he has had on his life.
Read his letter to Eminem below:
Dear Slim,
In 1999, I wrote you and Dr. Dre a letter. In that letter, I told you how your music has impacted me. I asked if I can be a musician for Aftermath, which probably turned you off, because everyone asks to be down with the “wave” at the time. In 2000, I wrote you another letter, just to tell you how much you saved my life. When I got rejected by Regis High School, I cried for HOURS listening to “Stan”, because I feel like I gave my 100% to my TACHS exam. After my rejection letter to Xavier, I cried to the whole album. I felt like believing in education was meaningless. And strangely, your music which pissed off gays and lesbians kept me going. I think what you and ICP have in common is the subliminal messages of encouragement. I never tried to backmask your music and say what you’re saying in reverse (until about 2 weeks ago; was just curious if you were one of the “them” I spent my entire career trying to not be; you’re not).
As of late, I found myself in a “Relapse” rut. I am nicer than any rapper that is to come. Period. And I don’t have a need to battle a Wale or a Cory Gunz to prove it. I know my lyrical ability, whether these hip-hop sites will admit to it or not. “He can’t make a good song!” “He hasn’t had a dope project since The Pink Lavalamp!” and “Charles Hamilton sold out!” haunt me to this day. Was it the “Brooklyn Girls” video? The “Charles Hamilton Is Back” trailer (the song is called “New Music From Charles Hamilton”. And then, there’s the recent self-ether attack of this pic…

Not much pink in my pics because pink is inside. But I know. “Charles you look MAD funny in that pic”. And dude, I felt kinda awkward takin that pic because of your past lyrics and how I feel about same sex relations. Funny huh?
Moving on.
I was told not to put my freestyle to “Beautiful” on Binge3 because of the references to your daughter and Paul. I meant no harm, dude. I hope you don’t diss me for it. I also hope you indeed write songs to my beats.
I sound like such a groupie right now, it’s disgusting. It’s the inner Alison.
All I know is, I completed my dharma when I met you in Detroit. I have never felt better my entire life. We kicked it. Had a chat. Laughed. I think the Newports pissed you off. I hope not. I mighta crossed the line asking to live in your basement, but “you only get one shot…” I figured if we gon be label mates and I’m willing to listen to anything you say musically, I might as well be a roommate. And I felt like I only had one chance to ask you. You are that elusive. So, sorry if I weirded you out then.
I hear all the time you wouldn’t give a f*ck about me because I didn’t sell any records. I hope it’s not true. Inside, I know it’s not, but hey. I am someone who, once something is on the surface, it takes a lot to remove it. Pine-Sol.
lol one of my other wishes was to ride Razor scooters with Raven-Symone through Harlem. Some wishes don’t come true, and don’t come true so easy.
You remind me of my brother Marcus (in fact……..), because as much as I wanted to spend everyday getting picked on by him, I had to move to the city that is high on Coke 100% of the time (never sleeps). I wish I could spend more time with him. Then again… f*ck that.
Here’s a story. The last time I was in Ohio, we had a multiple-hour chat. He said he thought I didn’t wanna be with him, and I said I thought he hated me. He got more out of my dad than I did. He felt the same way. We both ended up lost.
Thank sunny days I found you.
You probably will read this. A lot of people will. Not scared (#ImNotAfraid). “I’m Not Afraid” is what is influencing me to do what I’m doing now. You think I’m scared of LA streetlights? F*ck outta here. Kill me with my iPod on peak (Apple holla at me, MTV come find me). I will be playing the 8 Mile soundtrack, I will be playing your catalogue for all that. lol. But this is for me. I feel like having access to a studio in which I went to school in the same building, kinda spoiled me. I’m working for this.
So radio stations, I want a million plus spins on “I’m Not Afraid”.
And Starchasers, I hope my music influences you to find the inner lightbulb within and blackout. Find your destiny through my music. I make DestinyFinding music. I never tell you to kill your parents, worship the Devil, sell drugs, or do anything that will compromise who you are. When critics say I try to hard to be different, I tell them (inserts a plug for “Normalcy”). And if you are a young’n (even an old gamer) in the streets tryna survive, I feel you. And I want to feel you again.
We will never lose touch, DimmingStarchasers. Not by a mile.
Hey Sega. Don’t touch my Dreamcast in your life.
Will I be back in Simone’s arms? Will I be Eminem’s public favorite rapper? Will I get my drive back to write the gutter shit?
#ImNotAfraid
Anyway Marsh, I’m going in and out of my HamiltonianZones again. Just wanted to let you know that I appreciate everything about you, and the next time I get on a mic, a stage, or in a cypher, I will be doper than anything you’ve ever witnessed. Besides, Alison needed a white rapper to look up to, and Charles (well, I) have never felt an urge so strong in my life.
Truly yours,
CH
PS: We should rap together, too!
Mad funny shit ;D ;D ;D :D :D

A) Who the Fuck is Alison?
B) Release the Beautiful freestyle if you aint afraid
C) Is creating a new blog a really good idea Charlie?
I don't think I ever cryed to a song during my depressive years, I don't know how you could cry to a whole Eminem album.. Maybe 1 or 2 joints off his album are deep like that?
lol, at least he being real. I like how he man enough to say this shit.
-
The Fuck?
Somebody twitter this dude "No Homo?"

Yeah, Hamilton is weird with some of this shit he posts.
I would have told him not to post that. Keep it private.
His new artistic approach is that he was originally born as Allison, a female, and changed into a man over the years. Some weird shit, I'm not quite following to well. I can grasp some of the more metaphorical allusions he's grasping for but his blog writing isn't the best.
I can ignore all of this because I like his music.
-
charles and em song comin soon...lol

lol word? Quirky idea... Props.
charles and em song comin soon...lol
Let's not forget he did record a song with Eminem called "I Don't Care". I do believe this was an Eminem song cuz CH woulda released it by now if it was his.. And we know that Eminem recently said he scrapped alot of songs during both Relapse and Recovery sessions that will probably stay in the Vault... I think that would be a hot duo for sure though.. Would be cool to see his name on the Recovery tracklisting.
-
the letter is pretty stan.
but a collab between the two could be dope.
-
and some of yall actually like chalk hamlet hahahaha, i don't hate on nobody's lifestyle but this goldust ass equal is annoying as fucc, all these cracc babies doing shit just for some kind of attention is lame as fucc yell
-

about the only redeeming factor of charles hamilton is that he mentioned the sega dreamcast.

I think all the heroin he used to do has really fucked up his mind.I think he needs serious physchiatric help.

that's what i was saying earlier in a more lighthearted way....u can tell dude does/did alot of drugs....i was watching sum live interview thru one of the links in the other thread and dude was babbling nonsense, passing it off as deep thought....i don't think he's clever or talented enough to fake it in terms of a gimmick thing, i.e. Andy Kaufman, Zach Galifianakis, Joaquin Phoenix etc....imo dudes music isn't dope enough to tolerate all the very suspect bullshit along with it, I'm actually surprised at how sum try to justify or explain it away as him just being eccentric or sumthing....but then again ever since the whole thing about him stealing sum dudes beat and lying about it, i always thought he was on sum bullshit (and this is before the whole j dilla & him getting socked by a broad fiasco's)
-
I can't get over this letter, this guy's got issues.
-
I personally love his music,his raps and beats are great.As far as the beat stealing,98 percent of producers have done that and denied it even after being accused and proven they did.The J dilla thing was odd but I think he meant it in a good way and it got blown out of proportion.One one side I can see why they got angry but another I think he meant it as a homage but then got ripped aaprt from it and lied and to jusitify it.Hes an odd person.The getting punched by a chick thing was blown way out fo ^proportion.Hes freestyling back at the girl who just freestyled at her and she punched him.he didnt get knocked out so i dont see how thats an l.Was he supposed to swing back and knock her out?Would that be a w?Who hasnt been punched by a woman in their life?
but this letter and a few other things cant be justified or blown out of proportion they truley are fucked up.
-
He's doing his own thing and that's all you can ask for from somebody. Either you feeling it or you're not.

More or less. I often think and respect his core ideas but find fault in his execution of presenting it to the public. I don't mind if on an album he raps about womanhood and how it relates to being a man in an atypical sense. You can create a dope concept album about a woman becoming a man that reflects on life, social roles. history, culture, etc.
edit:
I wonder if he actually feels like he's a girl trapped in a man's body. He wouldn't be the first person to be like this. He'd be one of the more vocal.
-
Sound good on the Forever beat, flow runs off in a couple places, but still sick.
Liked the Beautiful joint too.
One of his lines is censored: "We both from the Midwest, it's insane how we both suffered <.........>"
Incest? Wtf..... lol.

I'm not feeling that beautiful track. It's just off putting. Basically, it might be a little too personal. If dukes really feeling like he's been spitting lately, I hope he finds a level of peace. Kid should go see a doctor to talk it out.
-
Yeah, Budden has this problem too.
Where his lyrics get too personal and they just become direct messages to people I don't know or don't give a fuck about, and thus becomes unrelatable.
