 mc hammer at his best
Submitted on: 2006-01-21 |

| Mc Hammer Active Duty is my favorite cd. Active Duty is better than all of his other cds. Pop Yo Collar is almost the best song I have ever heard in my life. I like how in the cd he intruduces new artists like The Stooge Playas, Analise, and Wee Wee. If you don't have this album, buy it right now. |

 Black Like Me
Submitted on: 2004-10-17 |

| Although I happen to have white skin, I also happen know that many black people really like me. (Or at least they haven't hurt me yet, which is the same thing.) I don't think of these people as black, they're just friends. And I don't see "color" when I look at Mr. Hammer, I just see a good person with a lot of musical talent. This is the kind of fun party music that transcends racial barriers and heals racial wounds. It is not like the kind of "music" that is popular now on MTV, that tries so hard to antagonize others and make them feel guilty about things they never did. Look, I wasn't responsible for slavery, okay? I also think it's great that they made Martin Luther King's birthday a national holiday. Because many of my friends happen to be black and they don't mind that I happen to have white skin, I can feel at ease around ALL people of color now, so that I don't even think about race anymore. Anyway, because of them (my friends of color) I can see how stupid racism is. I can truly say that I know how it feels to be black in this country. With this new insight, I feel it's all right for me to criticize the kind of "music" that is being played on MTV instead of Mr. Hammer's happy celebration music. The new "music" they call rap just isn't what we need right now. It isn't helping things. Bring back Hammer! He is a healing presence for both blacks and whites. You people should be proud of this man, he is a credit to your race. |

Hammer never quits
Submitted on: 2004-04-20 |

| This album is a mix of R&B, Smooth Rap, and Hip Hop Dance music. The tracks are great depending on your mood whether fast or slow. Soldiers letter is the best song on the album followed by Pop Ya Collar and Nothin' but love. The young man who sings Night Show should get some airplay for this sultry love song. The religous views of Hammer are less obvious on this album as heard in Inside Out or Family Affair but the track Spittin' Fire is an impressive Gospel Hip Hop cut characteristic of the Funky Headhunter album. I was disappointed that Who'Holdin'It was so short but I love the lyrics similar to One Mo Time which was never promoted on an earlier album. I look forward to Mc Hammers new album - Full Blast. |

warped in time

all those who reigned in his era are now wallowing in there self pitty and struggling violently to rise above the realm of the has beens. While so many have fallen victim to age, contreversy, and simply passing there prime..... mc hammer still pushes out a bold attempt at re enterring the spotlight.
if you hadnt been aware of the release date apon first listening you would have passed it off as a solid hip hop album for 1990, but obvoiusly... that is simply not what it is,. this album is dated and overdue by over a decade and it seems that he is stuck between his prime and today with no way of getting out. if you are an oldschool fan than this album shouyld keep you content... but if your looking for something new you simply wont find it digging up coffins ( metophore for hammers career). i trust most of those who purchased this album got what they expected,.... because in todays music...who buys an mc hammer album for cutting edge music??????????????. |

 I wouldn't even recommend this to fans
Submitted on: 2003-02-23 |

| I was, like most Hammer fans, excited to see this album in stores, but I must say that my money would have been better spent on any of his other albums. There are a lot of bad songs here, especially becasue Hammer doesn't even appear on a number of them. And the good songs aren't even that great: Hammer's never been great with his delivery or lyrics, but as time has passed, it seems like he's gotten worse. He tries bragging about himself and his crew, but that's not exactly something he should be doing ten years after his heyday. The few bright spots really stick out ("Our Style," featuing some skillful rhyming from the Stooge Playas, and "Ain't no Stoppin' Us") because of the weakness of the rest of the album. I hate to drop on Hammer, but this was really not this attempted comeback was more of an embarassment than anything. |
