Did Charles Hamilton Fire Shots?

Yesterday, rookie New York MC Charles Hamilton leaked a song called “Windows Media Player,” and a lot of folks have been asking about a line where he mentions Complex:
“I don’t pose, I hate pose-urs/Except for one photoshoot/For Complex, what the heck was I supposed to do?/I had fun, acted mad young/I was flyer than the rest of ‘em, why am I addressing ‘em?”
What exactly is Charles talking about?…
Well, in our upcoming October issue, the young Harlemite poses with fellow hip-hop heads Wale, The Cool Kids, B.O.B. and The Knux in a truly fresh fashion story called “Leaders Of The New Cool.” (Issue on stands at the beginning of October!)
Complex really appreciates the shout-out, but we’ve been having a debate around the office: is Charles dissing the other MCs featured in the story by saying “flyer than the rest of 'em” (which also happens to be a Wale line from “Nike Boots”)? We can’t call it. Listen to the song below and let us know what you think.

the thing is, he looks like a little booger I stick under my desk at work. He shouldn’t be talking greasy about anyone.
Is that fuckin’ tie a clip-on?

Its The pastel look how 2007, Nothing like bubble gum headphones to accentuate the disaster of that clownish tie. Colored sprinkles in his hair would have made this more fashion forward IMO but,The spike bracelet saves the day though it’s so Furious Five I can bet he feel Melly Mel’s muscles flexing.

Charley Ham goes at the big homey 50 Cent:
Charles Hamilton & Cory Gunz + Produced By Green Lantern, songs called “Neh, Neh, Neh”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2gLizJ7obo&feature=related
CHARLES HAMILTON:
“nigga what’s silly, nigga what’s really FUCK 50″

You could also say he deaded Cory Gunz on the same collabo with him (like Canibus on LL’s joint). After Cory does a line Charles says:
CHARLES HAMILTON:
“that was hard Cory but Charles’ story is all gory
yall sweet like Sean Cory”
