It's so interesting because a lot of the things Hammer got slammed for artist today heavily rely on, especially sampling and repetitive flows.

Hammer deserve his flowers because he really helped open doors for rappers to become mainstream/venture into other endeavors/get that 💰. It's funny how all those rappers back in the day clowned him, called him a s*ellout, he was lame blah blah yet those rappers are doing the same exact thing nowdays. To be honest they were jealous and envious.

That's a false narrative. The truth is closer to the fact that he wasn't a very good lyricist and he emphasized performance over content. Its kitschy to just claim people hated on him because he was clean. But Kid n Play were popular as hell and they were also clean and so was Heavy D , Chubb Rock, Arrested Development, DelaSoul, all popular around the same time as hammer. The difference is they could actually rap.

MC Hammer is proof you don't have to be "gangsta", use profanity, or degrade women in your music to put out units. Kudos to this man for staying true to himself all these years. Question though: how was he able to sleep in his own house after his wife saw that Pumps In A Bump video? 😅😅😅😅

@undergrounddojokeyboardcag701 2 года назад

Hammer was not doing anything different or special at the time. You have to remember that "gangster rap" at the time of his first few albums was actually the minority of artists/albums. While gangster rap did become more and more popular as the years went by, Hammer did keep his original style , it did also get to the point where he decided to start doing gangster rap himself. By that time the industry had shifted and no one bought into his fake image.

I saw hammer in concert as a kid and to this day it is still one of the most entertaining and mesmerizing shows I've ever attended.. The only thing that happened to Hammer is he wanted to take the hood with him... And that's what broke him.. He used to have what looked like 100 people on stage with him and those people had to eat... And he was feeding them.. But they say Hammer ain't no sucka... Them death row stories and bay area stories flow rampant.. U might wanna google Redman and his encounter with Hammer... Far from a punk... He had his time in hip-hop.. He wasn't a lyricist but he was the part of hip-hop that was fun and made u move...

@kirbykipling9515 2 года назад

I remember Hammer coming to Louisiana around 1989 during the height of his career. It was the concert of the year. There was some type of a scandal involving fraudulent ticket sales. My cousin, who lived in Cali @ the time & had ties to the industry, promised my 2 cousins & I tickets. All we had to do was report to the Will Call window. Of course, we didn't believe her. So we bought tickets, just in case. To our surprise, 3 tickets were waiting for us. As a result, we scalped the ones we'd bought prior to. It was an amazing concert & a nostalgic moment that I'll never forget.

@jazzymoni7750 2 года назад

I came up in the Bay Area. Hammer was everything. I randomly met a couple of his dancers after his so-called demise and they said he was always a cool dude, always trying to look out for everybody. I think the best thing that could have happened to him was to be removed from the industry when he was because IMO it all went downhill when gangsta rap took over. Man's rejection is God's protection. He ended up in the Stockton area suburbs, I believe, living a quiet life with his family. I'm glad he found peace.

I was soooo happy when I found out I share my birthday with him.

@nataliemscrzysxycoolharris 2 года назад

I remember my college days and waiting for a MC Hammer video to come on tv. I would drop everything to get up and mimic what I saw(good ol' days). You had to know how & when to breathe dancing like that 😉. I didn't know he had so many albums because you only watched the popular videos or heard the popular songs on the radio. Singles were popular back in the 80s so I know that hurt album sales for everybody. I purchased a lot of those. I hated buying an entire album and only one song would be hot and the rest just trash 🙄. As far as putting a hit out on 3rd Bass, I don't believe that but talking about someone's Mother? That's off limits besides that's a Black thang, 3rd Bass wouldn't've understood even though they we're straight jocking us. Yeah I said it! They were frontin' to be accepted by us. Probably had Black friends 😂 too. Let me stop before someone comes for me on these RU-vid streets. Take care.
