Not only was MC Hammer the first rapper to go diamond, he’s also the only rapper to go diamond in the same year his album came out. To this day all rappers still "can’t touch this".

This is how I gangsta suppose to move and conduct himself. You portray the good guy image to the world and you handle business accordingly behind the scenes. Not drawing unnecessary attention, not Twitter beefs, not Instagram beefs, not wearing a bunch of goofing loud colors and bandanas letting everyone know you in a gang.
True but he did a better job hiding it than most! For example, the Italian mob may portray themselves as regulate business men, suits and ties, but if you ever met some (which I have) you know right away you're talking to a wise guy even if they've said and done nothing to tell you. Hammer hid that shit so well, just imagine how many apologies Hammer had to listen to? 😅😅😅
@@patrick4133 No but if its the same MOB that Suge Knights hitters used to claim (which would explain the Death Row affiliation), then that is not a set to played with AT ALL. Some of those guys had 30+ bodies plus, King Von couldn't compare to that

ANY man will potentially mash you if you push the right buttons. Black man have a very aggravating habit of disrespecting each other. We need to learn to leave each other the fck alone .
I just want to say this he grew up in Oakland if you know anything about Oakland in Oakland hoods you need this man alone and let him live his life y'all failed to forget he's a real MC he's a real human being and why I say hammer is a real man he got on and took his whole neighborhood I mean his whole neighborhood on the road with him and he's a man of God and the brother always stay humble
I was born and raised in L.A. I have a lot of family in Oakland. From L.A. to the Bay. I was taught Gangster move in silence 🤐. And my Daddy taught me that ❤❤❤
They put me in the mix!!!! My favorite jam by Hammer it's relatable cause They Put Me In The Mix!!!💯💯💯💯🤔🤔🤔 My name always comes upon something or someone crazy BS!!!
Rappers went at him because his music wasn't about drugs and killing and women and stuff. But they saw real quick, Hammer was NOTHING TO PLAY WITH. Real OG! Always respected Hammer.
Number 1, you showed Rakim when you said Eric B. Number 2, they were never signed to Def Jam. They were managed by Russell Simmons but were signed to MCA
@@hnationmusic3099 the Rakim picture, probably but these videos stayed not getting their facts straight. I personally think it's because they don't know any better but if it's for the reason you stated, they're clearly quite successful 🤣🤣🤣🤣
What's so funny about the 90's and 00's, is that some of the rappers that rapped about being gangsters weren't actually gangsters, and the ones that didn't were actually low-key gangsters.
Learning about hip hop from someone who doesn't even know how to pronounce 3rd Bass (base) correctly and doesn't actually know who Eric B is, because that was a pic of Rakim, is crazy, but very new wave.
Oakland easily competes with the legacy of L.A. The body count in Oakland during the 90's definently was on par with L.A and here is the kicker. The size of Oakland is far smaller than L.A. Don't sleep on Oakland. It's a mistake if you do.
No one is sleeping on Oakland. I'm from Jamaica Queens and it's similar. A smaller part of the city than most but it's had some wild times over the decades
@@trighefner4089you hella dumb you better check the body count in Oakland Mfs count the Body count for the whole LA county it’s 88 cities in LA that’s like putting all the Bayarea cities together And we ain’t got no crips and blood I been jail two for murder twice and went to trial twice and been shot twice first time 9 times second time 7 Oakland ain’t no joke
I remember when Can't touch this was on heavy rotation on Mtv. We all wondered how a rapper got *butt-hurt* just because he got dissed. That wasn't "keepin it real" for us youngsters, and we were not alone with that.
Here's the problem I have with my people. When I say my people, I'm talking about black folk. We put all that energy on putting each other down when we got all these other races against us. Make that make sense. I never understood why black gangs existed and never will.
Welllll here’s a quick history lesson: The Black Panther Party was a group founded by Huey P in the 60s and a handful of other brothas and sistas. In the party the CRIPS were formed (CRIPs stood for Community Resources for Independent People) and was an organization to help protect the communities since racist cops did not. It wasn’t until the systematic destruction of the party from differences on where the party should expand to. The creation of the cia and introduction of crack deliberately put in the poor communities cause the crips and bloods to be something more sinister…Amerikkka? Ammiright?! 🤦🏾♂️
I remembered how the issue with 3rd bass and MC Hammer began and it took place right after “Let’s Get Started”. He said in one of his verses “And when it comes to straight up rockin, I'm second to none. From Doug E Fresh to LL or DJ Run.” No one really was concerned with the shots he took at Doug or LL but it was mainly the shot at Run. By then Run DMC career had declined and the 3 wave or early 90s era rappers has emerged. But Run DMC was considered royalty and people felt that their contribution for bringing hip hop to mainstream gave them immunity from being “diss”. 3rd Bass, Redman was signed to Run’s brother (Russell Simmons) Def Jam and felt the need to try discredit Hammer. Which lead to A Tribe Called Quest and others to take shots. Chuck D was really the only one from Def Jam or the East Coast to come to his defense publicly.
@@patrick4133 see I know I ain't trippin trust and believe me people don't want to mess with the mob regardless whether the black or white or Italian you do not want to f*** around with the mob trust and believe that !!
There was a rumor going around that The Source had to move their offices a couple of times because Hammer and his people were putting pressure on them to put him on the cover.
Funny how people call this "Gangster". When I was growing up we just called this being a Man. Be yourself, be humble and treat people with respect. But don't ever let anyone punk you or disrespect you.

@@meekahollins6642 maybe he could afford to pay but paying would have brought him closer to broke I would imagine ( with no proof or reasonable reason to say so) he would have undisclosed income and cash and jewellery that would have provided at least with buffer, i never heard he became homeless or destitute, and we we would heard cause America dont play that sh!t.
gangs are just businesses companies in the underground economy, all business is regulated by violence, but gangs dont have the police to do their dirty work for them. and they feed more people that your tabernacle ever will.
Redman said that Hammer was cool with him the whole time, and told him that he liked him. Then, he told him that he doesn't allow anyone to talk about his mama. Redman did a comedic skit. It wasn't tgat serious. However... Hammerspoke to him about it. Redman's response was fxkn hilarious. A young dude getting approached by an older cat humbled his azz.

Honestly if you don’t know much about MC Hammer, anyone could get it twisted on not understanding he wasn’t someone to play with. Hammer at a very early age learned a lot of stuff about street life, and at the same time just about, he understood the entertainment business very well and how to put on a show and what performing was really about. I’d almost say he probably was an early pioneer in the black community for having that kind of understanding because at that time there weren’t manny doing what he was doing and surely not as well. and he didnt even actually have that many hits… but he was so good he made those hits last an eternity.
MC Hammer should be respected. He conducted himself as a gentleman, and as a man, didn't let anyone f over him. Great story, but it has nothing to do with Crips hating Hammer.
Not only was MC Hammer the first rapper to go diamond, he’s also the only rapper to go diamond in the same year his album came out. To this day all rappers still "can’t touch this".

I’d almost say he probably was an early pioneer in the black community for having that kind of understanding because at that time there weren’t manny doing what he was doing and surely not as well. and he didnt even actually have that many hits… but he was so good he made those hits last an eternity.

Was the dance actually called "the typewriter"? I have always known it as " The Hammer Dance"!
Queen Latifah and I believe Treach, from Jersey too but I believe they down with the Crips of Jersey
😂😂😂 Hammer was ready to turn this mutha ouuuuut😅😅😅😅
MC Hammer should be respected. He conducted himself as a gentleman, and as a man, didn't let anyone f over him. Great story, but it has nothing to do with Crips hating Hammer.
How does Hammer move against the real enemy?.... NOW THAT'S A SERIOUS CHESS MOVE!... PASS IT ON!!!?! 🙄
what app do they use to make these videos?
Why does this video keep showing clips of Outkast when not mentioning them
It's from a clip that the group was talking about running up on hammer wouldn't be a good idea.
