MC Hammer is the hero we didn't deserve.

[Wacky D]

The struggle of a black man in America. The simple fact Hammer did not conform to stereotypes of being a "savage", a White man felt he was more of the culture than a Black man being positive and giving back more than anyone at the time to his community. It's disgusting as hell man.

You'd think breh was running round with white chicks c00ning but nah dude was solid

its not about him being positive.

hammer got x'd out because he and his brother were making too many moves behind the scenes, shaking chit up. people like Sylvia rhone hated them.
and he x'd himself out musically by crossing over too much. I'm not gonna call him a sellout, but he strayed too far away from his early hits like "lets get it started" & "turn this mutha out". it never ends well when artists do that.......and to top it off, this is the early '90s we're talking about.

so when the crossover audience moved on, he no longer had a core audience to fall back on. and the people behind the curtain hated him, so they poured salt on his wounds and are still disrespecting his legacy via media.​

Hammer was about to whoop dudes ass.


He was doing a lot of different commercials back then too. If he was just selling malt liquor, nobody would've had a problem with it though.

lol exactly. I will say the industry got smarted with their Black targeted commercials where they made it actually represent elements of Black culture vs having Black people in these cartoony situations that sometimes can be seen as c00ning. Nike and Coke smartened up and would just do the Cultural commercials to avoid any misinterpretation or blatant racism.

He put a lot of people on too.. maybe too many people. We were hip hop to death but we loved Hammer out here no questions about it. Didn't like seeing other rappers get at him like that. How you gonna hate on this dude. He literally got in the game as a Oakland A's ballboy when he was little. Dude IS Oakland. When he got older it was Oakland A's players who helped him pay for studio time to record his first album.

That shyt was garbage for the most part. Everybody took Teddy Riley’s sound. Outside of Guy, Keith Sweat and a few others that shyt was mad disposable which is why it didn’t last that long
