Hammer was that last wave of 80s hiphop music that was heavy on dancing, feel good and making you move. It just so happen the album was a HUGE sensation (it truly was a classic tape) also. But gangsta rap was already starting to take over in the late 80s. So by 1990 for this to drop kill everything like it did WORLD WIDE and then get labelled as whack and corny afterwards by "rap fans" even till this day is sad.
Meanwhile beastie boys are considered cult classic and favorites.
