As MC Hammer rose to fame, rappers dissed him because of his appearance and music. What they didn’t know, was that Hammer was arguably one of the most dangerous artists in the industry.

MC Hammer had strong ties in his hometown of Oakland, California. Hammer had family, and friends that were heavy in the streets, and he took care of them as his wealth grew.

MC Hammer mentioned LL’s name in his song “Let’s Get It Started” in 1987. LL responded in 1990, on his track “To da Break of Dawn.”

Hammer’s people pulled up on LL Cool J after one of his shows, and after an argument LL got punched. Later on LL and Hammer hashed out their issues and got back cool.

3rd Bass dissed MC Hammer and mentioned his mother in their song “The Cactus.”

MC Hammer took the insult seriously, and as 3rd Bass traveled to Los Angeles, MC Hammer’s brother allegedly phoned Def Jam, and told them the group would die as soon as they got to Los Angeles.

A $50,000 bounty was put on 3rd Bass, and MC Serch was the special target. Eric B confirmed the hit to MC Serch.

The Rollin 60’s were hired for the job.

Russell Simmons asked Barefoot Pookie to protect 3rd Bass while they were in Los Angeles.

MC Serch was at the mall with his girl, and while signing autographs he was approached by some crips that were there. Pookie stopped them from harming Serch.

MC Serch went on radio the following day and called MC Hammer a b*tch, moments later the Rollin 60’s called the station and said Serch was going to die.

MC Serch and the rest of 3rd Bass left the station, and were followed by the Rollin 60’s, who began pointing their weapons ready to shoot.

MC Serch had to do 25 years worth of therapy to get over the situation, and MC Hammer refuted Serch’s claims.

Ice Cube released the video to “True to The Game,” which featured symbolism of a rapper selling out and crossing over into pop culture. The video was perceived as a diss towards MC Hammer.

MC Hammer was chilling at a hotel one day, with the person on the phone informing Hammer that Cube was at a Roscoe’s in Hollywood.

MC Hammer caught Cube leaving the establishment, and questioned Cube about the video.

Hammer told Cube to never let that happen again, and Cube said “no sir that won’t happen again.”

Redman dissed MC Hammer on his debut album, and Hammer went looking for Redman.

Hammer caught up with Redman when Redman and EPMD came to Oakland. They saw each other and MC Hammer told him “Red, imma tell you something you young, but I don’t allow nobody to talk about my mama.”

Red responded and said “Yes sir.”

MC Hammer signed with Death Row in 1995, after Suge reached out to him the year before. Hammer left the label after Tupac’s death.

YOU HAD TO BE THERE....

And I don't mean Oakland cause hell I ain't ever been, but the young cats don't realize we didn't have internet and podcast and sh1t, we had The Source magazine and what was on TV so just like us the rappers we "followed" at the time hadn't realized that everything on TV is IMAGE and BS and that the industry they worked in was "sold out" so there was some "jealousy" or simply misunderstanding of his success...

Now that I'm older and heard the interviews, heard the podcast and UNDERSTAND this world we live in a little better I have NOTHING and would never say anything bad about Hammer even though younger me was just as ignant as his "peers"...

Like he became a running joke "ahhh this nicca went broke...", "ahhhh he's stupid, spent all that money"...etc as the media painted that narrative but to hear him in an interview talk about how he would call home from tour and find out friends are dead, so and so locked up, so and so sells dope etc,

he legit tried to put the hood on his back...he made a conscience decision to put guys on payroll, take guys with him on these tours, attempt to use his wealth and his influence to make his COMMUNITY BETTER and he got sh1tted on for it in real time...

People gonna learn to stop judging a book by the cover.
