If you don't know the clown wearing the shirt with Sonic the Hedgehog I'm not surprised. His name is Charles Hamilton aka Sonic the Hedgehog and he's a rapper signed to Interscope records. Alter ego's could be a good thing. They could help the people get a better understanding of an artist. That's cool and all, but I have a question for Mr. Charles Hamilton.
When was the last time you played a video game?
Out of all of the names you could have stolen for your alter ego, you chose to go with the mascot who hasn't made a good game since at least 2001. Other rappers aren't going to make fun of you for that. No not at all. You probably would have been considered a strange nerd back in the 90's, but almost 20 years later you look crazy. Maybe you should take off your pink headphones and do your research. You would have had more street cred if you called yourself Princess Peach. Oh yea that's right the rap game is too insecure about it's sexuality. That's a shame.
Come to think of it Charles Hamilton and Sonic do have some things in common. They were both homeless at some point in their lives. They both show they have the strength to survive which is good. They are also very familiar with failure. That's pretty much where the similarities end between the two. Sonic knows what mainstream success feels like, he represents a character that is sure of himself, and he's definitely not an arrogant prick.
Have you ever thought about copyright infringement Charles Hamilton? It's bad enough you attempt to take credit for making other people's beats. Let's not forget the fines you could get for the samples you use that will never be cleared. Has Sega told you how they feel about your alter ego? It's pretty clear why they wouldn't do anything now, but let your luck change and I bet you'll find out. Hopefully they don't laugh their way into your pockets.
I say that to say this. Charles Hamilton step your game up. Do you want the joke to be over so soon?
