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 wanna say it was on Arsenio he said he wasn't a rapper, he was an entertainer. And trying to beef with MJ because he didn't feel he paid enough homage to James Brown isn't too hip-hop.

His run I guess coincided with the new jack swing movement back when people still danced.
IT did there were a lot of dancing rappers back then kid-n-play, fresh prince, salt n Pepa, Kwame hell even LL. But once gangster and mafioso rap became the norm any dancing rapper was considered corny.

Because the climate changed and his style looked ridiculously dated compared to what was going on.

his shyt was wack from the jump.
the industry brute forced his shyt down everyone's throat from every angle.

back then there was no internet.
what was shown is what was watched.
