Hammer was more marketable and "family friendly" to crossover for white folk.
Gotta remember during that time "gangsta rap" was in full swing and hood nikkas was all nwa and ice t to the pale people.

93-96
MC "Move the Crowd"
Got em hyped up and drivin em wild
MC Hammer was an ENTERTAINER, and i always say all our biggest artists with the ability to crossover to all demographics are usually entertainers.

Dude was the heir apparent to Michael Jackson & James Brown in terms of dancing. Dude was ridiculous with dancing
Plus, his music was super relatable for children and White people who wanted to dance but didn't want the militancy of Public Enemy or the street shyt of NWA.
Plus, he sampled a LOT of old popular songs, kind of what PitBull does now, which made a lot of older people like him because he reminded them of the old '60s dancing singers.
Dude, a lot of that's after death for 2pac. He was huge during the era of the East Coast/West Coast feud, but the kind of worship of 2pac & Biggie came after they died
Hammer was selling 10 million off of a record when no other rappers were selling more than a few million.
Hammer was headlining at the Super Bowl.
Man, Hammer's videos were premiered at primetime on Fox.
Hammer had his own Saturday morning cartoons.
Hammer had his own cereal
Hammer had commercials with KFC, Taco Bell, and Pepsi, when like I said only people like Michael Jackson and Madonna got shyt like that.
Hammer was ridiculously famous for a very short period of time.
HE WAS THAT FAMOUS BECAUSE OF CANT TOUCH THIS
U CAN SAY THE SAME FOR VANILLA ICE
BUT AS FAR AS CHARACTER AND REACH, SNOOP AND PAC WERE FAR MORE THAN THEIR MUSIC

People also forget that hammer was popping off his first album too, these were big records on urban radio before he crossed over:
Tenchi Ryu
Ashtray B!tch
The most famous mufukka in Korea, who had the most watched youtube video of all time at one point, specifically sought out Hammer to perform live on stage with him.
Hammer was able to transcend all ages, races, ethnicities and nationalities..he was like Mike Jackson rapping. He was beyond being just a rapper like the other mentions.
Bobby Pac and Snoop had global fame, but in the US they were seen as hoodlums by larger cac society.
