Charles Hamilton steals beats: Black Spade’s “Shinin’”
I don’t like Charles Hamilton’s music, so when I found this posted over at FRESHselects it brought a smile to my face. Below is an excerpt but I would highly recommend clicking here to read the entire post, listen to the tracks in question and read Charles Hamilton’s response.
Basically, Charles jacked a beat straight from Black Spade’s MySpace player and rapped over it, released the song on one of his endless barrage of half-assed & disposable mixtapes, and ironically ended up performing the song right in front of Black Spade at SXSW the other week. So Spade approaches him after the show saying that he did that beat but liked what he did with it (his opinion, not mine), asked where he got it from, etc. So the jig is up, right? Nope! Aparently, this fool Charles still tried to act like he made that beat and even went on to say that it was HIM singing on there, when anyone who’s ever heard a Black Spade song can clearly recognize that voice as Spade’s.
So with Charles refusing to admit that he took the beat from Black Spade, I’ve decided to post both of them here for you to decide for yourself. Below is Black Spade’s demo beat and then Charles’ song – both of which are coincidentally called “Shinin’.” Besides the different mix, you’ll notice that Charles’ song also has an intro before the beat drops – that’s something that Spade only included on the track when he uploaded it to MySpace, which is how he knows thats where Charles got it from. I’ve included the full e-mail I received from Black Spade after the jump to further explain the story and to seperate his thoughts on Charles from my own.
Now I know beat jacking is nothing new – its probably as old hip-hop itself. But that doesn’t make that shit okay – especially if the thief in question can’t even own up to it when they’re not only caught in their lie, but even given props for the song. And this instance aside, the only reason this kid’s manufactured buzz has worked for him so far is because not enough people have been calling him out on his bullshit from the beginning. Thankfully, more people have been speaking out lately, namely Rhymefest, Xplosive World, and even former supporter, Karen Civil (although she quickly removed her post from her blog the same day it went up).
And I know this isn’t the only story of Charles pulling this type of shit with someone else’s beat – so if you know of a similar situation or just want to add your two cents on the issue, leave a comment and lemme know.

Just like some highschool girls….. Man can I just say these grown ass men are a bunch of whinny ass b*&#*$es!!! Man with Q the dramatic diva as the front runner…..sad. They look like danity kane with facial hair….
Dumb People Doin Dumb Sh*t
I hate when people (especially smart people) do dumb ish! But it always has me crackin up! These clips that I’m sharing with you today, both deserve the ever infamous “this mutha****a right here” comment, lol.
What was this guy thinking?! Apparently Steve does this all the time and his boy has had it.
This was posted at GorillaMask.net, and on the real, people need to 1.) stop crip walkin’ , and 2.) get smart…quick….and cut this out. Because I know he didn’t expect this to happen this way. Watch his feet and sandals!
Crip Walkin vs. Treadmill, You be the Judge
