Charles Hamilton vs. Soulja Boy (Tellem)



Tell me, who hasn't heard of Soulja Boy? Granted his music is NOT the greatest...but it sells and nowadays that's basically all that matters in the industry. He gets the interests of young teenagers but isn't too popular around the 80's babies generation. Personally I can't just have Soulja Boy playing in my ipod...not even to work out to!


Charles Hamilton, a fresh new artist was just recently signed to Interscope (same label as Soulja Boy). Hamilton has performed here @ Purchase College last year during a Poetry Slam in the Stood. Back then he was just an upcoming artist who seemed cocky and short, as sounded kind've like Lil Wayne. He has a new single out called "Brooklyn Girls." I personally enjoy this record and have bumped this in my ipod on more than one occassion.

Recently Soulja Boy and Charles Hamilton have gotten into a dispute over who is better than the other in the industry. Soulja Boy feels its him because he has more record sales, granted he's been in the industry longer. But he also makes moves as if he's Jay-Z! Soulja Boy, please pump your brakes!! You have to earn respect to get it and Supermaning and Yah-ing people out of your face isn't going to work. He also knocks Hamilton for wearing the color pink! Hamilton's camp is called the "Pink Lava Lamp" I mean, I don't understand it either.

Well these 2 rappers have been going on with the beef for a while now. One knocks the other for wearing pink and one knocks the other for wearing T-shirts down to his ankles. It's the battle of being fashionably loud or fashionably late!
