Here Comes the Pain

He became corny & is now seen as one of the best punch lines whenever we mention somebody going broke.
The wayan bros show definitely utilized it.

It was basically over the fact he was selling millions of records whereas the average successful rapper was going Gold..he was accused of selling out..Hammer made music, he didn't tell white folks to run and buy it.
There was pressure on non dancing rappers who felt Hammer possessed a skill they didn't have.
Rappers like Redman hated Hammer because he wasn't a hardcore Street rapper. Little did they know Hammer was far from soft and not to be fukked with though his music was soft.
Ignorance and gangsterism was taking hold in rap and positivity dying. People felt Hammers message wasn't edgy and he was corny.
People just got jealous.

Literally a cat from the hood, who was adamant on bringing jobs to the hood (and did), made positive music for the kids and really entire family could enjoy.
How is Hammer NOT real Hip Hop?
I was into gangster rap and Del the funkee homosapien. They said 'fukk a dancer' and I obliged.
All jokes aside, Hammer was seen as more a dancer than a rapper, and if you appreciated pure mic skills you had a problem with the way society made him the 'king' at the expense of better spitters.
Ironically, Hammer would probably thrive in this modern age of hip hop.
He made too much money going mainstream, tried to hire his whole block, then got clowned by the crabs in the barrel and fell off. He's very successful these days with his quiet comeback in the investing world.
