Wasn't "U Can't Touch This" used in a TV commercial last year? Can't remember the product off the top of my head. Someone help me out here...

BTW, how much do you think Hammer can get for his publishing catalog?

Sorry, iam sick of the repeated hammer bashing on here. Everyone can bash him if they want, but i've heard it all now. Ok, its such a shame that hammer was original and did actual rap u could dance to instead of the usual shit of hearing a rapper and commenting "wow, how deep that contrived line really relates to my life" sorta verses, but thats hammer for u. Rap fans need to get their heads out of their asses....


I hear ya. Rap ain't really been shit since Hammer went out of style. There were a few jams here and there like "Hoochie Mama", "Daizey Duks", or "Come On Ride The Train", but the jams became scarce and tired midtempo bullshit took over. Hell, they probably had to slow it down because they didn't have the talent to keep up with a fast beat. Their asses would become tongue tied. lol

Funny how u cant dance to rap anymore.....


It's too slow to dance to and too fast to fuck to. It serves absolutely no purpose whatsoever. lol

Hammer filed for bankruptcy nine years ago according to the original post. The delay since then is because of litigation with Hammer's record label, again according to the original post.

Oaktown's 357? If Hammer wrote all their raps, then I would think so.

If you license the songs right you can make good money. Overseas is still a big market. And there are also sports programs.
