[Chimp1(Rapper) @Chimp1One]

@CharlesHamilton Damn no premier ?? FRFR

[Charles Hamilton @CharlesHamilton]

Too many to choose from.

I’m gonna go with The Slim Shady LP. That album brought my attention to Hip-Hop. True, Lyte is my cousin. But I was much younger and needed to connect to something.

The album came right on time.

Yours?

I'm a skeptic by nature, often cynical. It's a voice over, very much could have been manipulated. He may have meant it with good faith but I agree with the sentiment that was pushed simply because at the inner core we are our thoughts and we shall account for every word we say.

Music enhances that, reaching our emotions before our conscious minds can even process the message, influencing what we feel, think, and internalize.

Quite literally passes straight through our auditory cortex right into our limbic system.... To me it's all be designed. We can either be conscious of it and use it within our own discretion or become victims to it.

[Charles Hamilton @CharlesHamilton]

He speaking from feeling, from what I can see.
I also feel like that was an edited video. Not quite Michael's words.

Your options are to have faith in the video or trust my skepticism of it... go!

[LalaUnique @BKA_LaNique]

That would be so dope... I often find myself having that exact dialog. There's a clip going around with Michael Jackson touching on exactly that. Well, I don't know what direction you would be moving into but....

[Charles Hamilton @CharlesHamilton]

I personally want to have a public forum with Kanye where we talk about how the MUSIC impacts the BEHAVIOR of the artist... shit, the artist, the admin, the people...

I'm glad you kept my name alive (amongst your young one).

[LalaUnique @BKA_LaNique]

It's a damn shame my 16 year old grew up to you and now plays you on her own... I be like "What you know about Charles Hamilton?" 😂😂😩 ...but you're so versatile that I may have missed the influenced orrrrr you're good enough to be inspired and not over indulge or I'm just not hip hop enough... lmao

[Charles Hamilton @CharlesHamilton]

You gotta pardon my #NewYork bias when it comes to #HipHop. The city literally raised me, IN FRONT OF ITSELF. I can never stop loving NYC.

That said,

"Music is the only love."

I go where there is music.
And where mine can be tolerated.

Be home soon!

Valid, Q-Tip should be acknowledged more. RZA is a #sonic influence, 'sfar as the SOUND of one's production. But Dre mastered that concept. Havoc is another monster.

My Top5 of pr/rps comes from a place of direct influence. Like you can hear my Top 5 (and ALC) in my music.

Kanye West
Dr. Dre (Had a bad/weird experience with him.🙄)
Q Tip (I can't believe he isn't on your list.)
Erik Sermon
Pharrell (ehhh, so-so)

I heavily agree with the Honorable Mention of Pete Rock... I'll add RZA to my HM...

[Charles Hamilton @CharlesHamilton]

J Dilla
Madlib
MF DOOM

[9th Wonder @9thwonder]

Man.....lol.....We live in a stan culture. I can't even say alot of us love the culture of Hip-Hop anymore. We love the artists we LOVE and that means we HATE the artists we hate. It's a rule you can't like many rappers who are good at what they do at the same time...

[Charles Hamilton @CharlesHamilton]

I appreciate you!

[K.D Hamilton @KDHamiltonthe1]

Yo @CharlesHamilton I'm drawing what I can consider the best drawing I have ever done... So far
(Gonna be a birthday gift!)

[Charles Hamilton @CharlesHamilton]

He might replace Jay Elec, if when I listen later he blacks.

His 60 Minutes of Funk freestyle is one of one.

Mind sharing your Top 5?

[LalaUnique @BKA_LaNique]

I love Jay... Is DMX in that top 5?

[9th Wonder @9thwonder]

I study culture. I don’t care who you are…..this is a cultural conversation. Yall only speak on bias.

[Charles Hamilton @CharlesHamilton]

My favorite rapper is Eminem.
Stan I am.

Jay-Z made me a believer. All it took was me listening.

Nas is a throwback ahead.

3 out of my top 5.
Every so often I include myself.

[LalaUnique @BKA_LaNique]

[Charles Hamilton @CharlesHamilton]

I give him hell because he’s taller.

[LalaUnique @BKA_LaNique]

I just thought there would be no credit given but there was...
