Salute the legend.

Damn hammer 60...im getting old as hell.

 

[Richard Glidewell]

He has a valid point, then the question becomes which organizations does he feel are sincere

 

[Wig Twistin Season]

I remember people talking about Hammer so badly that these 2 CACs thought they could diss him too. It almost ended badly for them. So I understand not wanting to be around a bunch of haters.





They tried to clown him every chance they had.

 

[Big Boss]

Hammer took a lot flack back in the day

They tried to clown him every chance they had.

So we're going to lie to ourselves and act like his music and style wasn't ridiculous.

I was a child when Hammer came out so it just sounded like dance/club music to me. Act like these didn’t slap…

They combined Freedom Williams from C&C and Hammer breh.

60-years-old


He don't look it...

In all seriousness, this stance seems in line with how he's nearly always presented himself, which is authentic. Good for him, especially maintaining that at his age.

his music and style leaned into the entertainment side of things. It wasn't ridiculous. There was balance. There were rappers that were the completely opposite. But Hammer was a huge act at his peak, selling out arenas with people from the hood. This idea that hammer was laughed at and was seen as a joke is revisionist history.

Why was it ridiculous? Rapping about killing and calling women bytches isn’t ridiculous?? NWA’s over the top songs wasn’t ridiculous??Was Heavy D and the boyz ridiculous. Was James Brown Ridiculous for being an entertainer ??
