This was a difficult to find CD, and it is wonderful. It is so good to have Hammer's greatest hits in one volume.
April 1, 2008This has all of Hammers most popular tracks on it! "U Can't Touch This" is, of course his biggest hit and signature song, and my favorite. In case you're too old (or too young) to remember, in the early 90's Hammer was a staple on MTV. He was huge. He really helped shape an entire generation and a genre of music that was still very new to millions of people. Kids across America even started dressing like him. I used to come running home from school every afternoon so I could see the top-ten countdown with Hammer. It's so sad to see that today's artists do not have even a tenth of the creativity and talent that Hammer always had.
October 25, 2007 |  | One Of The Most Entertaining Acts Of The 1990s |  |
MC Hammer was by far one of the most popular artists of the 90s. I think that this Greatest Hits Collection is one of my more favorite Cd's because of the fact that MC hammers music was for the most part "family Friendly", and in this day and age, that is very important. I'm in no way knocking the artists of today, and if you prefer gangster music, that's your choice, and this is definitely not the CD for you. However, if you want to buy a decent CD for yourself, or your child/children, then I think this Cd is a good choice to add to your collection. Hammer's lyrics may not have been the best, but he put everything he had into dancing/entertaining his fans, I just hate the way that his career ended, but we all learn lessons in life, some go through worst case situations than Hammer did. The positive side of all of this, is that he appears to be getting his life and priorities in order now, and that's a blessing in it self.

I'm only giving this greatest hits 4 stars instead of 5 because they didn't put Pumps in the But on this set - why, I don't know, but, they missed it on this one. Otherwise, I loved MC Hammer, because, his music was fun and positive, before the gangster rappers took over and made rapping ugly.
April 27, 2007| | | I'D STILL RATHER LISTEN TO HAMMER...... | |
PLEASE make me understand: P Diddy is accepted, but hammer isn't ? An idiot that is proud of being shot 9 times (50 cent) is being idolized by youths, but hammer is ridiculed? Another rapper rapping about "sweat dripping down his ballz" is accepted, but hammer is wack ? Oh my god, when Hammer came out rap was still about fun and partying, not like nowa days where everyone wants to kill each other. I dont get how they can put down Hammer's style, when all Rap bands nowa days have a million people on stage fronting. Everyone used to put Hammer down cause he supposedly sold out and crossed over and all that, but all rap groups now do the same thing. And the only reason why the general public started to dislike him was because a few people in the industry didn't care for him, other than that you know ya'll use to love him...u know u had on your rayon shirts and a your zodiac shoes doing the hammer shuffle at the clubs. Hammer might have not had great lyrics, but at least he had amazing dance skill and entertainment. What do hip hop artist provide now? nothing more than hammer did.
