I've been waiting for this commercial to pop up on the youtubes. Just...tacky. I don't think anything spells "sellout" as much as this thing.

I feel I should post a Hammer video that I love to even it out!


Yo! MTV Raps used to wear this one out.

i remember him getting a ton of slack for doing those commercials back then...here's another one to add on:



...proper. and i coulda sworn he did a commercial for kentucky fried chicken too.

WTF? I've never seen that. I think that video was made...on the welfare line.

RipHer2Shreds said:

that version is the one i remember the most, i hadn't seen that live version before. and oh man, i used to want one of those troop jackets so bad back then!

RipHer2Shreds said:

I remember this

i think that's the same rooftop set that was used for the 'thieves in the temple' video. prince was all dancing in his lace shirt and panties on top of a taco bell.

just as long as they cheese u

Anxiety said:

Damn, I thought this the roof top looked familiar. Must've been the same soundstage.

BSK3478 said:

BSK3478 said:

That's what I'm sayin'. My fave of his and I never saw that version that was taped in the trunk of his car.

i can't believe i'm one of the only people on this thread who remembers that version of the video. i thought everybody else had seen it too...then again, i don't think everybody watched/had the jukebox network on their local teevee stations. i miss that channel.

anyway, i remember watching hammerman on ABC every saturday morning back in '91 or so:

See, that's a cartoon and still not as cartoonish as that Taco Bell ad.

But thank you very much for posting that - that stupid cartoon theme song is in my head at least once a week. That's twice this week.

dude had his own 1-900 number...

RipHer2Shreds said:

i know, right? what the hell was up with that dude's hair? i remember that commercial, but i done forgot about that...that unicorn horn on that guy's head!

I remember when Bust It records went on to later become, Busted Records.

BSK3478 said:
