I've been sitting on this video for a while, but today seems like the right day to post it up - Charles Hamilton got some facetime in the Asher Roth post this morning, and he cyphers (like battle rapping but supposedly non-competitive) here with a fan after a show at Penn State. And the fan name-drops Asher Roth, so it comes full circle.
Points about the video:
- It's not a battle, nobody won. That being said, it was kind of a battle, and Charles Hamilton didn't win.
- Bigtime props to Charles Hamilton for doing this with his fans. So cool.
- The white dude is sick.
- Love the flannel, especially when backed with a Hot Topic dig.
- Phill-ays!
Good times, I like that video a lot. Reminds me of Scott Baker freestyling on the microphone. Anyone?
Here are some tunes to go along with the vid. The first is probably the best verse I've heard from Charles Hamilton, although over a somewhat lackluster beat.

The second is a hot freestyle from Dizzee Rascal over the beat from Lil' Wayne's "Fireman". God I love Dizzee. His accent can make any song sound dope.

Finally, a hot freestyle from Liva, the most underrated member of Clipse's Re-Up Gang. It comes off of the first We Got It 4 Cheap mixtape, and it's pretty tasty.
