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.

Hammer, Ice Seeking New Rap Personas

Hammer trying to reinvent himself as a Gangsta rapper after break dancing for chicken was not going to fly :laugh:

This is cool. I mean I'm not surprised consider Ja Rule came with a fire track dissing Em. Back in the day even the most pop of rappers who weren't entirely respected as far as hip hop and lyrical standards could deliver more vicious diss tracks than say Drake

The nikka name is Hammer, slang for a gun, and he from Oakland. Lol @ at nikkas thinking he soft.

:dwillhuh:

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.
