Bret you weren’t kidding about this guy being blackballed. I’ve never heard of him before this thread, his Wikipedia page has glowing reviews for his music but some of the links to pages related to him are dead and he’s got virtually no music up on any steaming app :ohhh:it’s like he was erased from everything

man your post about Danny made me go into a SC rap rabbit hole lol. Were you ever familiar with Dan Johns, Preach Jacobs, Benny Starr, OXYxMoron?



This was my shyt. And being from SC I was checking for Danny! heavy back in the day. I remember that he had won a contest with Def Jux to get signed with them and I was excited thinking he was going to blow in the underground at least. But then he was kept on the shelf and Def Jux shut down not long afterwards smh. It's a shame because I remember Questlove mentioning Jay-Z loving his music.

London baby.
Keri Hilson.

Polo Da Don encouraged her to drop this then tiptoed out the backdoor once she got dragged



Internet assumed she was talking bout Bey and the Beyhive literally threw Beyoncé CDs at her in the street :francis:

She went on a press tour with Timbaland to explain she wasn’t talking bout her but the damage was done and the top producers and writers didn’t wanna piss off Bey by working with Keri.

Jose Guapo, he was good for summer anthem

That Jose Bin Guapo WTC cover prolly aint do em any favors IMO


Maybe Blood Raw from CTE, he was beefing with Plies when buddy was still on fire and never heard from dude again on a big wave. I think Jeezy and nem had just dropped Cold Summer so white girl was getting heavy rotation. He had that Louie single that was on fire too... He dropped I run flawda and that was it.



Mase was lowkey. He was back building a buzz with Gunit and Puff refused to release his contract or sum shyt I think



Maybe Jody Breeze...beefing with Jeezy aint do em no favors neither

I wouldn't say Charles Hamilton got blackballed.

The biggest issue with Charles Hamilton was he was his own worst enemy.

Beefing with his own label mates
Charles making up shyt that he was cool with J.Dilla and Mom Dukez
Charles not taking his mental health serious (His mom had to call the cops on him)
Him getting arrested for punching a cop.
Him not letting Intercope manage his vast body of music he had.

Ect.
Charles and I have mutual friends and what I heard at that time was Jimmy Iovine wanted to sign him under the condition that he became more pop, like a Chance the Rapper or Anderson Paak, and Charles refused so they dropped him. His mental health began declining from there. Charles also ghostproduced and wrote Eminem’s Relapse album.
