Chamillionaire = Public Enemy

Who would've thunk it? The schlep who gave us the annoyingly catchy diatribe against haterism "Ridin'" last year off his major label debut The Sound of Revenge is back, and I have to admit, I'm mad surprised at dude's new direction. Maybe I never gave him much of a chance, especially after Weird Al Yankovic blasted his ass out of the water with "White and Nerdy".

Well, no more. Credit where credit is due, Cham came correct with his two new singles, off of Ultimate Victory, which drops September 18th. Both "Evening News" and "Hip Hop Police" (featuring no less than SLICK RICK THE RULAAAAAAAAA) are dope, heartlfelt songs addressing what ails the modern Black man, the hip hop industry Stateside, and the contemporary b-boy worldwide. Not exactly the kind of shit you'd expect to hear from a guy named Chamillionaire, but hey, shows what I know, right?

Anyway, check this shit out. People might be waking up after all.
