Charles Hamilton the Hip Hop Gamer

If you don't know the clown wearing the pink headphones, I'm not surprised. His name is Charles Hamilton aka Sonic the Hedgehog and he's a rapper signed to Interscope records. Alter ego's could be a good thing. They could help the people get a better understanding of an artist. That's cool and all, but I have a question for Mr. Charles Hamilton.

Out of all of the names you could have stolen for your alter ego, you chose to go with the mascot who hasn't been in a good game since at least 2001. Other rappers couldn't use that against you. Not at all. You probably would have been considered a strange nerd back in the 90's, but almost 20 years later you seem out of touch. Maybe you should take off your pink headphones and do your research. You would have more street cred if the name of your alter ego was Princess Peach. Oh yea that's right, the rap game is too insecure about it's sexuality.


Come to think of it Charles Hamilton and Sonic are somewhat alike. They were both homeless at some point in their lives, they both show they have the strength to survive, and they are also familiar with failure. That's pretty much where it ends between the two. Sonic knows what mainstream success feels like, he represents a character that is sure of himself, and he's definitely not an arrogant prick like this hip hop gamer.


Have you ever thought about copyright infringement Charles Hamilton? It's bad enough you attempt to take credit for making other people's beats. Let's not forget the fines you could get for the samples you use that will never be cleared. Has Sega told you how they feel about your alter ego? It's pretty clear why they wouldn't do anything now, but let your luck change and I bet you'll find out. Hopefully they don't laugh their way into your pockets.

I say that to say this. Charles Hamilton step your game up. Do you want the joke to be over so soon?
