The Birth of the "UnCool Movement"

This battle was the TRUTH! Charles and Serius BLACKED on this shit...Mad niggahs commented on this shit talkin how Charles is this or Serius is that, just for the record, this shit was for entertainment purposes. There wasn't supposed to be a winner or a loser. Shit was ill though.
I have determined that I am a Hip-hop class of '09 JUNKIE! Most of these new artists coming out are actually the truth. So what if its called "Hip-Hop 2.0" this is obviously what hip-hop needed. I've never been so excited to listen to hip-hop. I'm glad to be fan. It feels like 1996 when hip-hop was ill. I love it.
So, been cruising thru I-95 recently and been listening to some local artists from my area. And well, maybe its just me, but either these niggahs are really horrible or we're just that nice. And when I say "we're" I'm talking about my crew "The UnCool Movement". My best friend came up with the name in a blog he did on MySpace. So we just ran with it. We call it that because we are the exact opposite of the norm of people around here. Seems like everybody around here is a Lil Wayne/ SouljaBoy Fan. Now don't get me wrong I respect the grind but at the expense of Hip-hop is almost like selling your soul for a price. And I'm not about to sell out for capitalism. So we are the guys who were in the band and sat in the front of the class. Who read books and played video games on Saturday nights while you went out and tried to get pussy from all the cheerleaders. But we didn't try to be something we weren't. And we didn't try to fit in with everybody just so we wouldn't be judged. We also didn't join a clique or start some pointless gang because either we were scared to be our own person or afraid of something. We just decided to be ourselves. And being ourselves wasn't cool. So call us uncool.

Death breeds new life..
So what's up guys? I'm at a hospital right now and could you belive they have a desktop set-up on the Labor and Delivery ward? Wow, who would of thunk it? Guess I was supposed to talk about this moment, huh? "What are you doing at the hospital, Chill?" Well, (lol), I'm here because my Brother and his girl are finally having their baby. I know I never talked about it in my other posts or in ANY of my posts but it's just one of those things that doesn't hit you until it actually happens. They have my homie aka my Sister set-up in the room right now getting her prepped for her Caesearen Section. But, for those of you out there who havent brushed up on your medical terms, I will say C-section for short. Yesterday, she had a routine doctor's appointment. You know last minute check-ups and tests before the baby is supposed to be born like two weeks later. (her offical unofficial due date was April 2). I guess they found a complication with her blood pressure being thru the roof, so they had no other choice but to induce labor. So here I am right now, sitting across from a play area for visitors who have young children blogging to you about the miracle that is happening in the other room.
I just had to tell somebody. And I have to admit, you guys are the best listeners/readers. So am I nervous? Not really. Concerned? Yes, of course. I don't want anything to go wrong while this procedure is in motion. I hope the baby is born with no complications. I hope my sister makes it thru with no problems. And I hope my brother can stay in there long enough to take in the whole thing. But, I think we have a unspoken bet goin around saying he won't last 3 minutes into the operation. lolololol....
Sitting here with my new Skull Candy's on my head. Bumpin' Dilla instrumentals(that's what inspired the title of this). That actually could be 2 bars in a later track of mine. Or Charles Hamilton's if he is reading this. Probably not he is a busy, busy man. Trying to overthrow the media conglomerate who has this submissing chokehold on hip-hop/rap/music in general. He is not alone in this revolution. Other "Warriors" include Asher Roth, Kid Cudi, Wale, B.o.B., Blu, The Cool Kids, Pacific Division and many others. I think with a sqaudron like that, constantly placing sublimnal sniper-esque shots at the conglomerate's weakpoints and, incting the masses to join and support this revolution, this oppresive, sadistic giant has no choice but to cripple and fall to its inevitable death. And music will once again belong to, and be inspired by, the listeners and true lovers of it. VIVA LA REVOLUCCION!!.............
.............Excuse me, just had to get that off my mind. lol anyways, back to the momentous day at hand. My niece (by the way it's a girl) will be here in moments. She might actually be here now because I have been sitting at this desktop blogging for like the past half-hour. Well at least it feels like it.... Maybe I should get up and go check on them. See what's going on. Yeah I'm going to do that.
This time, I didn't run outta words....l-m-[C.H.-ill]a-o!
Peace and much love to all y'all,

Marsha! Marsha!! Marsha!!!
BRYCE LARSEN FOR GOVERNOR!!
One of my good friends I met thru my brother has recently started a Blog. brycelarsen.blogspot.com/... he is in fact legen.....wait for it....dary.
"Everyone you encounter or date, is more likely than not to get married - whether to you or not. Due to this, she is someone's wife. You should watch how you treat someone's wife and have some respect for her. If not, then you are defrauding your brother by misrepresenting both yourself and your brothers."
As soon as I read that statement I was mentally blown AWAY.. never saw it in that way before.. opened my eyes..
So March pretty much SUCKS for me this year. I didnt even do anything to deserve it..
Well maybe not recently.. But I still feel like its an unjust punishment..
I GOT MY NEW HEADPHONES! 50mm Skull Candy Headphones from Best buy. The TRUTH! These things crank and are great for blocking outside noise. All black to with silver detail. I'm so happy. I felt naked without some headphones around my neck or on my ears. Needed my bullshit-blockers. If you didn't notice the picture at the top.
I'm super fucking hungry. Think I'm going to make some Ramen. I don't know. I'm just really hungry.
GOT A NEW PUPPY! 3 month old Male German Shepherd/Husky mix named Recks. Yes we spelled it like that. Two reasons 1) he gets into everything and just fucks it up and 2) becasue we're black and we can do that. l-m-[C.H.-ill]-a-o yeah he is fun and he is already getting big as hell. but he a bitch ass niggah. lol still love him tho..
"Inhale, Exhale, ugly face like Craig Mack".. just a teaser for my UPCOMING MIXTAPE: BROKE AND CHILL MAKE A MIXTAPE Vol. 1..
Well running outta words....Bout to workout then eat...

Don't Get Twisted...
What's up Blogspot?! Lol You know I never thought that MY blog page would cause controversy in my little world. But yet, once again I have manage to "rub somebody the wrong way" (no homo). Apparently, (L-M-[ch-ill]-A-O!) some people close to me got it mixed up that I was speaking about a certain Female, in previous blogs, that he honestly feels belongs to him because he found her, dated her, and fucked her fist before anybody. Hell, she even thinks that she is that big in my little Insane crazy world that even SHE thought I was talking about her. So I'm here to clear the air. 1) Me and You are just friends, miss. THAT'S IT! YES! I said If I met you sooner I would have probably tried to be with you. I MEANT THAT! As of Right now, Hell no. My little brother is head over heels for you and I'm not here to mess that up for him. Don't you think its a little conceited of you to think that just because I start blogging about a mystery lady, that it would be you. You know me miss, but you don't KNOW me miss. L-M-[ch-ill]-A-O! You still my weirdo but thats where its gonna stay.
2)I'M NOT HERE TO COMPETE WITH YOU! Your my little brother. I love you with all my heart (Straight Hetero) and I would never compete against somebody I want in my corner. I've seen adn experienced what happens to friendships when females get involved and personally because of that, I am removing myself from whatever competition you think your in with me. I don't wanna impose on you or think that you gotta beat me. Its not gunna change the way I feel about you in anyway. You always my little retarded ass brother who funny as shit and always gets himself in over his head.
Aside from that sweet little note, I'm the last person you really wanna compete with. Lol don't take this the wrong way or as disrespect, but I kinda helped make and MOLD you into who you are today. Hell, I gave you the clothes off my back to help impove your style. Niggah you kinda stole my swag. Lol but its ok because I told you early only you can do that. My niggah, I love you to death, But you don't wanna challenge the master. The scary thing about me to you is that you dont even KNOW what I'm capable of. I'm like an Urban legend. More like a volcano. I have the powers to FUCK SHIT UP you just never know when. Am I willing to risk that much to prove a point?........................
Nah. At the end of the day its just another bitch. And when I say bitch im not being mean or derogatory. Im simply putting it in "Chill's" terms. I am an ASSHOLE at the end of the day.. and damn proud of it. Besides, little brother, I ain't even BRUSH past you yet, little brother. I ain't even make EYE CONTACT with you yet. lol Just kidding.
SO THERE IT IS! For all who wonder or thought you now know..
And, blogspot, I do apologize for using your resources like this to make a point to some random people about a topic so frugal and minute. I am truly sor and I hope you forgive me for getting real "MySpace Celebrity" on your shit. Can you forgive me?
Well running outta words...

Check the rhyme..
PLAYAAAA HATER!/OPEN THE DOOR/LAY ON THE FLOOR/YOU'VE BEEN ROBBED/WAKE UP!/GIVE UP YOUR JEWELS/YOU F*CKING FOOL/ YOU'VE BEEN ROBBED!
L-M-[ch-ill]-A-O! Those up there are biggie lyrics from disc two of the "Life After Death". Song is titled "Playa Hater". HILARIOUS! Soo it's a new day blogspot. I usually dnt blog during the week. Or when im not inspired. But I received good news today. GREAT NEWS! Been helping my younger brother with his DJ'ing. He seems determined to become one of the greatest DJ/Producers ever. I hope he does it. I hope he kills the game. I see his potential, but I just hope he can stay focused and motivated. He has N.D.D. lol "What's N.D.D. chill?" Well, since you asked, (lm[ch-ill]ao) N.D.D. is Nigger Deficit Disorder. Yes I said Nigger. Its common in most black people. Mainly, ignorant ass black people. People who expect success overnight and hope to skip through the hard work. Ain't no such thing as a hand-out in this world. So I hope he realizes its gonna take some serious time and a lotta dedication. Not saying he isan ignorant ass black person. Just saying he shares similar tendencies as ignorant ass myblack people. lol anyways, soo I still wanna do my blog "20 F.A.Q.'S about Charles '[ch-ill]' Hopkins". I'm still stuck on the last 10 questions. I don't want it to be one of those "fav color, fav food," type survey/blog things. Gotta come up with GOOD questions.
SHE STILL ON MY MIND, BLOGSPOT! But I bet you hear that, or read that lol all the time. But I gotta tell somebody and I know y'all will listen. I don't understand what it is about her. The more I think about it, I see she is just like any other girl I usually have. She is pretty like every other girl I've had. Funny like every other girl I've had. Smart like every other girl BUT I don't know its almost like she is a challenge. Everyday it gets worst. A smell. A touch. A taste. A Picture. A thought. She is always there. Who is this mystery chick? Only Me and God know. And I can trust her. lol I don't know. Who Knows? God Knows.
Check out the new Kanye West Video "Stay Up!(Viagra) Feat. The 88's" HILARIOUS!

Peep the style...
So this was a great weekend blogspot. I thought it would go a little worse than expected, but I was wrong. Well wrong and right. I guess its true what they say, "Love conquers ALL.". And a brother's love, blood or not, is better than anything this godforsaken world has to offer. lm[ch-ill]ao so I gotta a lot on my mind. I hope I can figure out whats going on in my head. I keep thinking about this person. This person is AWESOME in every sense of the word. Beautiful. Funny. Intriguing. UNATTAINABLE. How do you handle a situation which could very much ruin every single thing that is good in your FUCKED UP existence? How do you get this person out of your head? Your thoughts? Your soul? This isnt the first time this has happened to me. But im not the same person I was when it happened to me before. When my mind is telling me one thing and my heart is telling me another, It feels like somebody is screaming at me everyday. I think the combination of the mind and heart creates the soul. And the combination of those three (mind,heart,soul) creates the conscience. My conscience is far from being Jiminy Cricket or any other disney movie Bullshit. But my conscience knows what's real and what's fake. And how I feel about this person grows more and more everyday as they stay plastered in my mind.
lm[ch-ill]ao, if it wasn't complicated and borderline FUCKED UP, it wouldn't be me!
Peace and much love to all y'all,

Steady Mobbin'...
WELCOME! So today is a new day for me. I'm winning small victories in my little world. Hopefully, I will bounce back like planned. I recently made some money. Not "Arab" money but enough for me to chase my dreams. lm[chill]ao, Been listening to mad instrumentals from great producers. Dilla and 9th Wonder. It's hard being a very original and creative young black male, and not want to write rhymes. lol reason I say that is because it seems like everybody, who is black and under 25, is a rapper. And I strive so hard to be different, that I know there are other ways to express my creativity. But, I feel with beats as inspirational as J Dilla's "Donuts" or 9th Wonder's "The Formula", how else do I pay my homage and respect to these men who have helped me get through life? I know no other way. So with that being said I am considering, and I higly stress CONSIDERING, making a "dedi-tape-tion to hip-hop" by making my own mixtape using Dilla beats and other instrumentals I can find. lm[chill]ao sounds stereotypically corny but I can't help it if I love music. Well, I think now I'm just running outta words. I think I still am gonna do my blog "20 F.A.Q.'S about Charles "[Ch-ill]" Hopkins". Just gotta remember more questions I'm always asked. Or just need to be asked more questions.
Some more beats I love for your listening and inspirational pleasure.
And some more...
One more time for your mind... body... soul...

I BROKE MY F*CKIN HEADPHONES!
I don't have much of anything in this world that I honestly care about. Things that belong to me, at least. I am the definition of broke. So all the things that I held valuable to my heart when I had a little money, meant so much more when I lost all my money. I only really needed to things to maintain my sanity in this crazy world. My Headphones and My Skateboard. Now I only have my Skateboard. I wish I would have bought another pair to go with them. Or at least had some money to get some new headphones. But now, I can't even listen to my music. I ain't been this hurt since I thought "she" cheated on me with my best friends. "She" will remain nameless. I guess I can get some new ones. I hope. Idk. Check out this beat I found on YouTube. Its fire.

And It Dont Stop...
"So I woke up this morning/and as I start yawning/ that (screwed up voice) milk-milk pouring into my bowl/ then I thought to myself/(screwed up voice) thought-thought to myself/ that I need to take a trip to the grocery store/ because the bread is low/ and the chicken I was eating with the mashed potatoes need a (screwed up voice) little bit of gold/ oops! Wrong song lryic man, a little bit of pepper stepped out the crib with the bear claw slippers/ Robe tied tight/ no chest hair right/ just chest/ because its like 3:50 and I'm just waking up/ and take 5 minutes just to get to the front/ now I'm standing in long lines/ lady with the baby probably buying some dog food/dog probably crazy on the daily basis/ my days be like this/ because I got to the register and then the store closed/"
Lmbao! I felt like hitting y'all with some Cool Kids Lyrics. What's up WORLD? Im in a good mood today. lol Been kicking it with my Brothers all day. We WILD! lol I think I'm gonna get drunk tonight. So I think for my next blog, I think I'm gonna post "20 Frequently Asked Questions [F.A.Q.'S] about Charles [Ch-ill] Hopkins". Just thought it might help clear the air on who I really am for people who don't understand.
I think my favorite mixtape of all time is DJ Skee Presents Charles Hamilton "And Then They Played Dilla" . I have been listening and YES! I admit writing rhymes to all the instrumentals on that mixtape. I find myself losing my sense of self and reality in the Dilla Beats complimented by Charles Hamilton's lrycial genius. I also realize that I am becoming a hamilton-ite.. lol whatever he calls his true fans. I even broke out my old big ass Koss headphones I bought 3 years ago. Well, their the only headphones I own. lol Anyways, I hope people dont think I'm "pole-jocking" lol(shout out to Aaron McGruder) Charles Hamilton. Y'all dont understand how long its been since I have been this excited about hip-hop and/or any new artist. I think he is the remedy hip-hop needed.
Well, got my vodka and my fruit punch. Bout to play some GH:WT. lmbao.

Its snowing outside...
So, I'm a skater. Skateboarder to be exact. I been skateboarding since I was 9 years old. Where I lived, I was the only black skater in my town at the time. So I had nobody to look up to because my idols weren't ballplayers or rappers at that time in my life. And nobody could relate to me because niggahs in my town wasn't stepping foot on a skateboard. So I was an outcast. A social leper. I had to fight almost everyday for the respect I deserved. And I did. When I would come in, I turn on my Playstation, pop in Tony Hawk 2 to watch the little snippets of all the skaters featured in the game. This one was my favorite. And judging by what I just said, and of who I am, I think you can figure out why..
The Cypher pt 2.
So I just watched the video of me and my brothers freestyling. WOW lmmfao! WE SUCK! But at least the beat was hot and we had fun. I will say little brother did his thing on the editing. And I think now that J Dilla was AND is the illest producer/beatmaker/musical influence EVER! (R.I.P. the game will never be the same without you, Dilla) So without further ado, I present to all of you, THE CYPHER!

The Cypher
I had a great weekend. Me and my brothers(we deeper than best friends) got together and had some drinks and hit up a party. You know, usual young America shit.
So, my youngest brother just recently got a new digital video camera. Knowing we were gonna do some stupid funny shit on my younger brother's college campus, especially when we're all together, he figured he might as well capture it on camera so we might be able to reminisce later. So when we all finally get together, we still couldn't figure out what would be funny enough. Or fun enough. Being the spontaneous person I am, I recommended we freestyle just for fun. Pretty much a CYPHER. Plus, I had been on Youtube all day watching freestyles that artists had posted (Shouts to Asher Roth,Kid Cudi,Charles Hamilton,and Pac Div.) . So we put on the beats and just...Got in. For those wondering what beats we used, it was beats from the DJ Skee and Charles Hamilton Mixtape "And then they played Dilla". My favorite beat being the one that Charles spit "ConvincedIndecision" to. Which, by the way, I been listening to all weekend on repeat. Just the Instrumental.
While we were freestyling, I realized that 1) Jay Dilla may have been one of the BEST beatmakers ever. (R.I.P.) 2) I think all black people got a little rapper in them. One of my brothers, Devar, who I have never heard spit EVER just gets on the beat and rips everybody. Now, Im not saying Im the next Wale or Jay-Z, nor am I the best in my crew, but I never thought my mans would rip it like that. Giving you a little insight, my brother is wild as hell. When he is around us. But if your meeting him for the first time, he is real reserved and sort of comes off as shy. I guess its true what they say, if you keep good people around you that push you, it forces you to be better than yourself. I will say we had a lot of fun. I feel like I need to work on my vocab and rhyming schemes and topics. And just keeping the flow (lol). All in all, I want to thank J Dilla for making such GREAT music. It helped me fall back in love with the CYPHER.
Peace and much love to all y'all,

So, my youngest brother just recently got a new digital video camera. Knowing we were gonna do some stupid funny shit on my younger brother's college campus, especially when we're all together, he figured he might as well capture it on camera so we might be able to reminisce later. So when we all finally get together, we still couldn't figure out what would be funny enough. Or fun enough. Being the spontaneous person I am, I recommended we freestyle just for fun. Pretty much a CYPHER. Plus, I had been on Youtube all day watching freestyles that artists had posted (Shouts to Asher Roth,Kid Cudi,Charles Hamilton,and Pac Div.) . So we put on the beats and just...Got in. For those wondering what beats we used, it was beats from the DJ Skee and Charles Hamilton Mixtape "And then they played Dilla".
