Song of the Day

Once again my boy Charles Hamilton is proving himself more and more as a lyrical hiphop heavyweight who can handle his own in the game. Now if you havent heard by now he's in a mix up of words with Soulja Boy (who I like to call Soulja Bitch). Anyways....after doing an interview and stating how SB is making it really hard for lyrical cats to enter the game based off of there raw skill and talent. Now you cant tell me thats not true. After SB heard Charle's comments he posted a video via Youtube going off on Charles that was pretty much a bunch of meaninless bull. Now Charles aka Sonic the Hamilton has bounce back with a track to put Soulja Bitch is his place. Without further ado....

The Most Important Book Besides The Bible

Esquire magazine has created The Handbook of Style, A mans guide to looking good. Esquire has successfully composed a well crafted handbook to accommodate a man’s hectic and sometimes disaterious fashion life-style. They even give a history of unique trends and styles. Looking at Andre 3000 and even Frank Sinatra this book seems to grasp the fact that every man should carry themselves with a strong sense of self-esteem.

Uuuuuggghhhhhhh......

I saw this on the BBC/ICECREAM blog and I just had to post this....
