From when Hammer tried to get gansta.

I actually liked a few songs on that release, though.

Everybody was trying to go gangsta, thug, and roughneck from 92 onward. Even The Boys...The Boys...came out in bandanas, leather, and boots for their 1992 release.

Let's Get It Started & The Funky Headhunter are THE best albums in Hammer's entire music career.

Please Hammer Don't Hurt'em is OK, even though it was a crossover dance-pop success. 2 Legit 2 Quit is overrated, overproduced, and .

In the case of NKOTB, they started thugging out in 1990:

when i see this video its so embarrassing cause you almost see him as a father figure. and its nasty.

why the lepord spedo, it could have worn anything else

I hear ya. It should have been a thin plain white speedo without the distracting stripes and the speedo should have been wet.

But Andy, if he had done that, every contour of his dick & nutsack, even his pubes, would have been clearly visible!

THAT is exactly what Vainandy (and his Dirty Mind!) was hinting at.

Oh my Lord, I knew this existed. I no longer feel crazy.

But now I can't stop laughing hysterically at the jiggly crotch in the man panties. It's like I'm a kid all over again, 'cause I rolled on the floor laughing at this fool back then!

JIGGLY CROTCH!!!

I was actually dumb enough to sit and watch the pool party version of that video, just now.

I feel embarassed for everybody who participated in that shit.

I agree @ Funky Headhunter.

In historical context? HUGE FAIL....but it's got jams, I'm sorry. Loved it then (in spite of the hip-hop cultual msicue that it was....UGH....Hammer.....wtf?)..and still spin it today.

Actually it would be Gangster Glam, Call The Law, or even Bob George.

I'd still listen to "Pumps and a Bump", too.

With headphones on.

...And I wouldn't tell anybody.

I WOULD.....Hammer did things for Hip-Hop that were unprecedented. The 200+ dancers onstage & the financial debacle that ensued aside, he made some pretty decent jamz.......and propelled the genre to things (at the time) considered impossible.

"Funky Headhunter" is a good album (maybe his best)...and Hammer is NOT given enough credit for his contributions as an artist.....and frankly....as a human being (he's broke today because he was too good hearted).

Y'all are making me pee on myself laughing at this thread!!!!

The look for "The Funky Headhunter" was "hardcore", but for those who actually listened to the album, lyrically, he was the same Hammer. He was still dancing too. It's a good album. When you think about it, every major artist changed their style once the "G-funk" era took off. Rappers were not supposed to reach the heights that Hammer reached, and a lot of them resented that. The backlash would've been justified if he still stuck to the parachute pants & shoulder pads, imo.

But how exactly is he broke? See in my opinion, he's not actually broke...just not a millionaire. Last I saw he's living pretty good in I guess I would consider a middle class type or a little higher, but he's definitely not in public housing. And yes part of his downfall, apart from his overspending on frivilous items, was being too good hearted in trying to employ EVERYONE he knew from the hood. I do get that he wanted to help, as good people do like to help those who may not have the opportunties that they have, but the saying is true, you can't help everybody.

Yah...he aint "BROKE" broke.....but he did lose a fuck-ton of money on solid gold toilet seats & employing anyone who ever said "Hi, Hammer" to him

He's still a millionaire but he ain't bringing money like that anymore. In a way he was smart because he made sure he made earnings on his contract and he still gets royalties from "Can't Touch This" so I think he's good but trust definitely cost him TOO MUCH MONEY.

Yeah not much was changed except the look.

I like the reprise version too, "Bump Teddy Bump" - Teddy jamming on the groove with his talkbox, channelling his inner Roger

He lives in Tracy, CA now. My brother and cousin were aquaintances of Hammer's daughter back in '04 and he and his family live comfortably

He's obviously made some financial mishaps in the past, but the man knows how to hustle and make a dollar (the legal way ).

Yeah, he has a McMansion out there. With that being said, he is making money now on the net. Don't any of you'all watch Harpo?

I think he has a dance version of Youtube too, so he's pretty smart in marketing

although that one sided rivalry with Jay Z was embarrassing to watch
