Seems like Hammer still in good shape on his fitness grind pause.

Why did you say pause after that? What's so gay about what you said?

The hate is from the east. They got love from everyone for being the originators. But hated seeing others shine

Hammer man hammer... Hammer mannn hammer

Everybody (Ice Cube dissed him too) was shytting on hammer back then cause they thought he was a sellout. Somebody will post the KFC commercial where he was pop locking for chicken nuggets.

I love Hammer but that backlash was not unprovoked. He dissed Run DMC and Michael Jackson (before the allegations).

Cube didn't have a problem with Hammer. He had a problem with nikkaz that was hardcore street and flipped their styles trying to ride his wave.

If you use imagery in your video to identify an example of a sellout, and you know everyone will think it is directed at Hammer, then it doesn't matter if he said Hammer's name. Cube is still using the imagery associated with Hammer (dancing in shiny clothes and non threatening) at the peak of his fame (1991) to identify a Black man as a sellout and need of "deprogramming." That's a diss in my book.

Hammer would be a problem in a versuz. Who could battle him? Maybe Kid n play?

Rap Battle of Words Dominates Show : Pop music: M. C. Hammer and Run-DMC exchange potshots backstage at the Soul Train Music Awards. Oh, and the awards? Three each for Hammer and Mariah Carey.

On a night when M. C. Hammer and Mariah Carey each won three honors at the nationally televised Soul Train Music Awards at the Shrine Auditorium, Hammer and fellow rapper Vanilla Ice were again involved in verbal skirmishes--but this time it wasn’t with each other.

The rival rappers, whose latest albums have sold more than 8 million copies each in the United States alone, have taken potshots at one another on occasion, including Hammer’s backstage charges at January’s American Music Awards telecast in Los Angeles that Ice was just a Hammer imitator.

At the Soul Train awards Tuesday, Hammer himself was attacked backstage by Run-DMC, the New York trio that played a key role in the ‘80s in bringing rap to the pop-rock mainstream.

“He can’t rap,” said Run-DMC’s Joseph Simmons. “If you’re going to say he’s legit, (does that mean) Vanilla Ice is legit, too? . . . Just because Hammer’s selling records, that don’t mean everything.



“I think in my neighborhood, he’d be booed. . . . We just hope some of the fans will say, ‘We’ve been cheated,’ and go back and hear some of the real rappers.”

The issue of Hammer and Ice has been heated within hard-core rap circles in recent months because many rappers fear their phenomenal sales may lead record companies to put all their resources behind similar pop-rap acts, leaving less opportunity for street-oriented rappers.

When informed backstage of Simmons’ comments, Hammer went on the offensive, suggesting the remarks were just sour grapes from a passe group.

Speaking to a crowd of electronic and print reporters, he said, “I’m sure they had to force you to turn on the cameras when they came back (because no one cares about them anymore). . . . Talking to them is like turning back the hands of time.”


Vanilla Ice, meanwhile, was also attacked by Run-DMC as “fake” and was booed by the Shrine audience even though he didn’t attend the show. The booing occured when Ice’s name was mentioned as a nominee in the best new artist category.

Carey’s three awards--for new artist, female R&B;/urban contemporary album and single--come after her two awards for new artist and female pop vocal at last month’s Grammy Awards ceremony in New York.

“I want to thank the black community for accepting me,” the 21-year-old New Yorker said during Tuesday’s telecast on KTTV Channel 11 and a collection of other independent stations around the country. Backstage, Carey, whose 1990 debut album has sold more than 4 million copies, said she is part black, the child of a white mother and a black Venezuelan father.

Besides awards for best R&B;/urban contemporary song of the year (“U Can’t Touch This”) and best rap album (“Please Hammer Don’t Hurt ‘Em”), M. C. Hammer was named this year’s recipient of the Sammy Davis Jr. Award, which is presented by the show’s producers. The other awards are based on the voting of approximately 3,000 retailers, radio industry personnel and artists from around the country.


The other multiple winner at the Shrine was singer Johnny Gill, for male R&B;/urban contemporary album and single.

Other winners were:

* En Vogue, R&B;/urban contemporary single by a group or duo.

* Bell Biv DeVoe, R&B;/urban contemporary album by a duo or group.



* Janet Jackson, video.

* The Winans, gospel album.

* Najee, jazz album.

* Smokey Robinson, the Heritage Award for lifetime achievement.

Man, those were the days

But the coli told me dancing is for lame feminine men

 

[TheNig]

Just kidding, he still shytting on nikkas half his age

Damn... Hammer still got it.

 

[Ripp]

Stop playing with that man.

If a rapper/dancer like MC Hammer showed up today its a wrap. They are running music. Imagine how much money Hammer would've made from TikTok alone.

I'm surprised there's no Hammer challenge or something on tiktok. Someone needs to put on some big ass pants and get to work

Ice Cube is from the East? Digital underground is from the East? Didn't know. Thanks for telling me.

 

[Neuromancer]

I'm not moving anything.
Hammer was remaking music from us
Run dmc redid walk this way, against their own will, to bow down to the sell out wishes of Rick Rubin. This is documented.
I brought up what he did for black people cause you brought up afrocentricity.
When run dmc tried to be full blown cacs with WALK THIS WAY.
Hammer wasn't doing THAT.

You did though . Tribe was Afrocentric. Tip dissed Hammer on check the rhyme because rap is not pop. Again you never addressed the Digital underground dissing him. You brought up Run Dmc to try and make your point when I was referring to his contemporaries dissing him.
