Charles Hamilton – “Where’s My Fucking Genesis?“
Spree Wilson – “Word”

Quasi-hipsters stay rapping under their government name. Should I thank Kanye West for this? Or Obie Trice? Either way, two of them here indulge in a sixteen bit strain of Thundercatrap that seems slightly more genuine than sampling European trance or hand me down nostalgia via the Clipse. I imagine most of these kids actually grew up on video games.

Charles Hamilton of Cleveland Harlem (though his myspace said otherwise) has nothing to do with this guy and spells the word psychedelic with an “o”. But, as a still-own-a-Saturn motherfucker (posse on dorkwatch), I feel a need to acknowledge what may be the first time someone has actually spit over a Sonic The Hedgehog beat. Well, Del, another Sega apologist, probably did at some point, but I always found his forays into video game rap less childhood nostalgia and more old man talking mod chips type creepy.

Speaking of Del, Atlanta’s Spree Wilson raps a little like his unsigned and imaginary half brother Unicron. I guess that is a better look than autotune and this is kind of hot. No ID is on the boards and it is an uncharacteristically blippy beat for the Resurrection architect. What he lost his copy of Power of Zeus?

So, I’ve been gone for a few days. Has anyone heard The Carter 3? Why is nobody talking about it on the internet?
