Redman on MC Hammer Stepping to Him Over Diss: He Doesn't Mess Around

Hammer is from EAST Oakland, which was worse back then than it is now. No he wasn't a gangster, but that don't mean he wouldn't give you your issue. Plus he was in the military as well. Hammer wasn't no sucka by a long shot. And he went broke in the most honorable way...putting his town on with jobs and such. Trying to make a difference. He had some bad investments, too, but putting your town on and paying them will drain your pockets way faster than anything. I salute Hammer for that. How many of y'all would do that for your friends?
lol everybody remembers this quote but the video is nowhere on the Internet. I can't even remember what the show was..
You can Google the whole story, but basically Hammer ran up on Cube and asked him about the diss. Cube stood down and said it wasn't even about him which obviously was a lie. So basically Hammer checked him on it.
It's crazy how time changed people's view of hammer. At one point he was a sellout that people laughed at for going broke. Now you realize he was a real nikka from the hood that really employed his whole hood to give them a better life. Rolling wit killers that you grew up with, and some white boys trying to diss you and fukk up the gravy train that's keeping your nikkas outta jail? Off with they heads 
Plus hammers first album was lit. Nothing will ever change that. Whole hood fukked with hammer when he first dropped.

I would definitely do it for my friends, guys I've known 25-30 years. Hammer had a bunch of random ass people around him though.
Not trying to be a dikk head but I don't think it's commendable letting a bunch of hanger-ons run through your money. He would've done more good if he wasn't taking 100 people on tour with him around the world.

His first album is border line classic. Well, second album. People forget about "Feel My Power".

Life is absurd. Lean into it.
He got his nick name because he was a bat boy for the Oakland A's. Somebody said he looked like a young Hank Aaron aka "The Hammer". He'd dance for the team between games.
Don't mean to rain on the parade in here but he was never a G. He put on a lot of people from Oakland and as such they wanted to protect their golden goose.

I guess I'm showing my age...I know he wasn't a superthug, but coming from Oakland I expected him to have a few G's on the payroll.

When nikkas said "Please Hammer don't hurt em." they really meant that.

Nah he was a square. Never got into drugs, gangs, none of that shyt. I think the A's (or maybe the owner) gave him the money to start his rap career.
He just threw his money around a lot, so people had his back. He'd literally take like 100 people from Oakland on tour, around the world. Pay for everything they did. He was a nice guy but he wasted a lot of money on shyt like that. Dude would have 200 people on stage with him, and he paid for everything.
