@MPPharaoh Came here to post this. If I remember correctly, it was one of those VH1 shows titled something like "Remember the 90s" and they'd have current acts on to discuss old music videos. This was around the time of Hey Ya! coming out. It was something to the effect of Andre 3000 started to tell an MC Hammer story, and Big Boi just burst and said "Man run up on Hammer, if you want to. Nah, now run up on Hammer, if you want to", and him & Andre 3000 was just laughing their asses off after that. By the way, same for me. I never knew Hammer was that dude until Outkast said that.

In 1987, MC Hammer played at the Charleston WVa Civic Center. I was working in the mall across the street, in a shoe store on the 2nd floor that overlooked the 1st floor. The night of that concert, MC Hammer, all of his dancers, his entourage, and his security team, all came to the mall before the show. I watched the whole crew stroll in, wearing wild 1987 colors and MTV-kind of fashions, as the other workers and shoppers in the mall just stopped in surprise. MC Hammer himself walked with purpose, as some of the dancers bounced around a little. I already liked him, it was sooo cool to see him in person, as it was. They all went up to the food court for dinner. There were seriously at least 20 people in his group. It was awesome. MC Hammer's maybe first concert there.

I don't care how many people he hired from his neighbourhood - there just nothing in this mess to be proud of. This is pathetic. What weak brittle men. I always liked MC up until now - but I can't be having with feeble jumpy men - makes me want to vomit.

I once sat next/across to the left from Hammer on a flight from LA to San Jose Ca during his new record label signing. I was in a punk band that was doing really well and I struck up a conversation with him. Nice guy, articulate and knowledgeable about all things music. He almost predicted the rise of the Nu Metal scene that was about to take off. Had some inside knowledgeable stuff on the industry. Even mentioned some of the famous bands to look out for. We didn't have camera phones or anything back then, wish we did.

My favorite Hammer story is still when Ice Cube dissed him. Hammer and his entourage were staying at a Sheraton in LA. A cashier from Roscoe's calls Hammer and tells him that Cube is at the restaurant, and being kind of an asshole at that. Hammer briefs the troops, they get to their vehicles, and do a "thunder run" down the 101 freeway to the restaurant. Hammer orders his entourage to surround the restaurant just in case Cube tries to make a run for it. Hammer simply tells Ice Cube that if he ever thought of dissing him again, his safety would not be guaranteed.

That's not why, it's more because he got overexposed that was about the time that he got his animated series and at that time there was a cap of sorts on how commercial you could be and still have any credibility. If you layer that on top of the fact that he's already gained a following by being a bit more upbeat and positive and that's just not going to work. Most of what this video talks about is the result of just being in, very, very good with a community that's used to having to take matters into their own hands. It wouldn't surprise me if somebody else took offense to people screwing with him and he just played along to not rile anybody up.

My takeaway from this story, aside that the hammer is scary. I don't personally believe that MC Serch was EVER at risk of being hurt, or killed. Their entire experience in California felt extremely setup. Obviously the people Hammer had sent after them were experts, knew where they'd be more or less at all times. But they were also clearly ONLY trying to scare them. From the mall, where they showed up, showing signs. To chasing them all the way to the air port. Sure, if left alone and without protection there isn't much doubt that they might've roughed up Serch, but the whole event sounds more like a huge stunt to scare them out of California more than any thing.

Third base’s label managed to get them some protections during their cali trip by giving the seats next to MJ to the mobs head for the American Music Awards show 🏆in addition to protection fees. Otherwise third base will never get out alive. MJ is respected everywhere 🕺

To be fair to Third Base, Hammer started it. After that it’s their (mostly Search’s) fault for not stopping after the fifth near miss (never mind the first 4). Tbh I would’ve asked for a different vehicle to Search and made it known on the station beforehand.

The fact that he built a rep that downplayed how intense he is, is actually amazing. Like, people wouldn't believe the rumours unless they ASKED AROUND asked around.
