I’ve been avoiding Charles Hamilton’s Sonic the Hamilton mixtape like a leper, and after reading Xplosive’s scathing synopsis of the mixtape I’m still not interested in it.
Peep game:
The conclusion I’ve drawn after listening to Sonic the Hamilton is that the hipster rap movement is nothing more than recycling of what we called backpack rap until about a month ago. The same people have traded in their backpacks and Ecko hoodies for Louis Vuitton man-purses and designer brand flannel.
Ouch! Catch more of Xplosive’s well articulated rant at Xplosive World.

Sacha O at Oh Word laments that 2008 has been “a bad year for hip-hop full lengths.” Rather than lunge into a 4500-word rant about it, he decided to do something about it because, well, talk is cheap. Sacha has strewn together a compilation of dope rap music by mostly new MCs, including Cool Kids, Mickey Factz, Jay Electronica, and Wale.

Ah, finally. The much-delayed Bar Exam 2 has arrived. The first Bar Exam, hosted by the legendary DJ Premier, was brilliant from intro to outro. I still play it every now and then. I haven’t heard this one in its entirety, but my expectations are higher than a satellite right now.

No matter what you think of Charles Hamilton’s antics, you can’t argue that his style isn’t a breath of fresh air. Here’s a guy who actually approaches hip-hop from a fun perspective and all people care about is that he rocks more pink hats than even Cam’ron would approve of?
Peep the mixtape tracklist and download link after the gap.
