Above the fray.
Wrong, he admitted he dissed them for no reason prior to that:



Fred.

Yeah, I was coming in here to post the on-record disses he made before the publication of that article. Him dissing the Kings guaranteed that fans from this area weren't fukking with him.

Most famously, on Turn This Mother Out

Cued @2:50



"I've been hearing what they're saying
(Man, he ain't from NY, so don't even play him)
I don't care where you're from
make most sound stupid, and others sound DUMB

yeah, sucker you should RUN"

to call that line a "diss" is stretching, but I get it.

He said himself it was meant to be a diss, and he apologized to them years later. The Tweet is a little earlier in the thread.

even as a diss, that's pretty weak. even during that time.

basically I can rock a show better than y'all.

I agree for the culture he needs to just do it for his own sake


but like all threads on here people only tell half the story
people didnt abandon him for commercials, alot of artists sold out or did "chicken" commercials and shyt
none of those nikkas are canceled or gone

its not because "He dissed RunDMC"

its because of all of the above... yall corny nikkas got upset and jealous that Hammer was everywhere doing everything and used all those excuses to not make HAMMER seem cool. Which in turn, ruined his bag because white people say him lose all his black support. Then yall pretended like it wasnt your fault for letting him die out and blamed him for being successful and real.

Yall did the same shyt to Sisqo and Big Daddy Kane ... same shyt you let other people do with no repercussion or regard. You cant pick and choose and then blame them while giving 90% of other people a pass for doing the same exact shyt ... yall are to blame stop deflecting. If anything, dissing LL and RunDMC was a great thing for all of them

Hammer >>>>>
Hammer was more HIP-HOP than a lot of these gangsta/goon rappers

That Hip-Hop 50 was weak anyway. Sad.

Bullshyt.

Who else did some embarrassing shyt like dancing for chicken in corny zoot suits and sequin outfits with the corniest looks and haircuts? LOOK AT THESE nikkaS!



"Excuses to not make Hammer seem cool" Hammer wasn't cool! We saw him as corny minstrelsy from day one. If he was nice, he may have gotte a pass, but he wasn't.

Big Daddy Kane came out rapping like no one before, he went too far left with the R and B. From one record on Long Live The Kane to almost half on Prince Of Darkness, which accelerated him losing steam. People told him not to, he did what he wanted to do, that's on him.

"If anything, dissing LL and Run-DMC was a great thing for all of them" ABSOLUTE BULLshyt. LL and Run-DMC were already household names and superstars. In that tweet, he admitted dissing them was some sucker shyt. That did ZERO for them, they were good already. Hammer got in his feelings and clout chased, and got dissed into oblivion because he couldn't dance his way out of LL and 3rd Bass (among others) frying him on wax. All his fault.

I've already said the hate for Hammer from the industry was pent-up jealousy cause some of these clowns turned out to be the same things they "called him out" for but, at the same time, he did take shots at dudes in real time so it wasn't 100% uncalled for.
