Bittersweet


Charles Hamilton recently got dropped from Interscope Records, I guess this was bound to happen considering his string of mishaps. Over the past few months I would follow his numerous mixtapes with not many new tracks and bad production. I would also hear of him losing numerous battles. He was dropping wierd blogs like that J. Dilla helped produce his record 'This Perfect Life', which was impossible due to the fact that J. Dilla passed away in 2006. Anyways after being booted from Interscope Charles decided to leak his album 'This Perfect Life'. The sad thing is it's a good album with a decent amount of work put into it. I found it ironic how many rappers are spitting on Suzanne Vega's 'Tom Diner' as Charles did by sampling the song in 'Ghosts'.
This song is also sampled by Drake in his song 'Juice'.
I beleive that the first group to sample this beat however was Felt in their song actually titled 'Suzanne Vega'.
Another cool thing about this song is that the 'Tom's Diner', Suzanne Vega is talking of is the same restaurant that is used in Seinfeld, the one the cast frequents in almost every episode.
Enjoy.
Samson.
