This isn't even CLOSE.

Hammer at one point was the biggest entertainer in the WORLD, let alone biggest rapper.

I went to see that nikka once in San Diego....he had FORTY people on the damn stage!

Hammer by FAAAAAARRRRR!!!! Come to think of it, at his peak he might have been the biggest rapper ever.

Is this a serious question? Hammer was one of those music phenomenoms that happens once a generation.

at comparing who is bigger between Hammer and fukking Nelly.









Don't even ask me how

 

[Kingshango]

Hammer was reaching Michael Jackson levels of stardom in his prime.

 

[28 Gramz]

Hammer not even close. nikka was up there with Michael Jordan AND Jackson as far as popular black men in 1992.

 

[Bobby Reds]

The hammer

 

[H.I.M.]

No rapper has ever moved as many units over a 2-3 year period as Hammer did. Not even Em. Definitely the most successful rapper ever at his peak.

If i'm correct, he's only 2nd to Em in overall record sales with about half the # of albums released.

 

[MegaTronBomb!]

MC Hammer and it's not even close.

at one point, this nikka Hammer not only had KFC Commercials, but had his own saturday morning cartoon.

and he put the entire city of Oakland on his back.

 

[H.I.M.]

People might underplaying Nelly a bit here though... nikka moved more units than Jay, 50 & Wayne in the 2000's

 

[Michael's Black Son]

Hammer easily

Come on breh this isn't even a question. Hammer became a cultural icon with global hit records. Nelly was just a rapper that sold a lot of records.
