@@haelisrael4945MC HAMMER was a GREAT RAP ENTERTAINER no doubt about that. The problem that some HIP HOP PURISTS like myself had with HAMMER was not the fact that his music was not hard enough. That WAS NOT the issue. The problem we had with HAMMER was that he DID NOT have any true rapping skills or rhyming delivery and flow. His rap used to sound VERY CHOPPY. But he could DANCE HIS ASS OFF. MC HAMMER was the EXACT OPPOSITE of RAKIM. Because RAKIM was a VERY GREAT LYRICAL RAPPER with multiple syllable rhymes and a SMOOTH FLOW. But RAKIM had poor stage shows and RAKIM did not dance. But one rapper back in the late 80s who was very good at both RHYMING and DANCING as well was BIG DADDY KANE. Because KANE was lyrical enough to hang with RAKIM, and could dance good enough to put on a GREAT STAGE SHOW like MC HAMMER.

Hammer was lyrically on par with the rappers of that era back in 86. LL, nor RUN DMC had great lyrics and Inobody ever calls them out on that. They had hard rhyme styles and that's what hammer had a hard hammer delivery. lust like the tool. He just couldn't modernize and he started to fall off like every other rapper. He is an old school rapper and people need to regard him as that and not the rapper from the early 90's that hung around a bit too long. His Prime was 86-90. A good solid run for a West Coast Legend.

I'll admit it....I used to love MC Hammer back in the "day". Being stationed in the Bay area then, I got to see and hear first hand the hype surrounding him. He was an amazing entertainer. I started disliking him when he got too commercialized and finally started loathing him when he tried to be a gangster rapper. But through it all, when I sometimes reminisce about the early 90's, I still remember the good times I had when they played MC Hammer at the club and to this day, I still occasionally play his music when i get pensive about those fun days.

People have to understand; MC Hammer was an ENTERTAINER, not a lyricist. He wasn't going to wow you with hot complex lines, but his music was about getting you hype, and he was about entertaining you on stage. Only him and Michael Jackson really did it at that high level. MJ was the greatest entertainer who ever lived, but if Hammer isn't #2 he damn sure isn't #10.

you know a timeless hit when you can remember where you were at when you first heard it 🤣👌🏻, it was like 88-89 and we were at my aunts who had cable tv because it was so expensive back then and (we) as in (kids) were in the bedroom looking at what was called video jukebox where you phoned in your video selection for a fee but your video would hold until the other callers orders played, then yours would play in the order received listen! this video came on and everybody in that room was completely engaged into that tv I'm talkng we almost forgot who else was in the room into it 😂 and before you know it, callers kept ordering it back to back to back and the entire room ended up doing the hammer shoulder shrug and backwards feet slide every time it played 🕺🏻🤣 and for you kids reading this, keep in mind that nobody had ever combined rap and dance thus far that way, so it was kinda like it was ahead of it's time seeing it towards the end of the 80's like that, so he did "get it started" 😅👌🏻

I see why this jam was always played first at Hammer concerts! This is the rap/hip-hop equavilent of Wanna Be Startin Sumthin! U feel nothing less than hype for hours as soon as this starts up!

All these "big budget" rappers would NEVER exist without Hammer.. let's keep it a buck the only rappers that were seeing "commercial type of money in the 90s was Heavy D and Hammer.

This is the Hammer that was the coolest. After he got big, he was pop. This was the dopest Hammer. And a few more videos from this time.

Hammer was the man back then. Yall dont understand how impactful this was. His biggest mistake was going mainstream after the first album. If he made another underground album after that this would have cemented his hold on the game. Hammer was the man. It was too much damn energy that no one could match.

His biggest mistake was employing 50 plus homies with an average salary of 50K. I commend him for doing so, but it wasn't fiscally sound. Nevertheless, Hammer is a great guy.

I agree. Though, he also had help from the haters who, Instead of supporting him, or at the very least, let him be, just sabotaged his career. It wasn't cool to listen to Hammer. I don't care. I still love the guy.

What I liked most about this era was how the world seemed bigger/ less connected (no internet etc), so each section of the country developed its own culture-- everything from music to dress was unique depending on where u were from. It made the music much better....really wish it was the same these days

I use to do the Hammer dances back in the day and could get it with no problem. I tried doing them not long ago and I was surprised I could still get it. Kinda rusty but I still got it but that shit wore me out. Lol

He was a hell of an entertainer. And nothing to play with on the street. His downfall was being too generous with his money. He helped pave the way tho. Gotta give respect where it's due.

Growing up in Alaska this song went hard AF!!! I was a chubby kid, and can honest say I lost weight dancing too this song! Back in the day if you weren't drenched in sweat after dancing then you wasn't doing 💩!!! I tell my kids this song and It Takes Two- Rob Base was the best hip hop dance songs ever!!! Great memories to Hammer!!!

Hammer had my sub woofers working overtime. Talk about boom. Everybody packed the dance floor when a Hammer joint came on. KC repping for O-Town.
