Social media has undeniably changed music in general, including how rappers send out disses, which Redman shared his thoughts. The veteran rapper explained that back in the day there were many steps involved in dropping a diss track, whereas today, rappers can upload their disses immediately. He also added that he likes that rappers don't have to meet in person to squash beef, possibly diminishing violent acts from happening.

Speaking more about rap beef, Redman shared a story about the time MC Hammer confronted him at the taping of the last Yo! MTV Raps episode over his diss on his debut album. Redman pointed out that MC Hammer is very serious about beef, adding that he knew the "2 Legit 2 Quit" rapper wasn't messing around when he stepped to him at the show.

Ya people think hammer was soft cuz of the music. Hammer is what a g is. He went broke paying his friends. Took his town on the road with him, gave them jobs. Don't let the music fool you, hammer had killers in his crew

See, I never understood this in the 90s because I started hearing hip hop records around the time Funky Headhunter came out, so I barely witnessed Hammer at his height. His shyt like "It's All Good" was way harder. Compare that to "Can't Touch This" and it's night and day.

I guess he had been riding that nonthreatening sugar wave for so long people just didn't want to give him a chance. and then the competition in 1994 was insane.

Redman has spoken about what happened with him & Hammer since literally 1994. Even on Combat Jack like 4 years ago.
