[@1111KO]

Dude said "25yrs of therapy", yet when he was given a chance to apologize on the call, he didn't.

[@thescatman5029]

Search thought an apology was unnecessary, saying that "The Cactus turn Hammer's mutha out" was no more than a rap line, taken more serious than it should have been....!

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

​@@thescatman5029 Serch is a goofy. He needs therapy _and_ meds. He didn't even need to apologize; he could have said, they weren't even talking about his mom. But he didn't defuse the situation, and wanted to throw some spice on the phone call. Not to mention, he threw Pete Nice under the bus 😑

[@krystal8715]

That part! That was the first thing that popped in my mind.

[@Dee-zy2xv]

Too bad for MC Search...he hasnt realized that his therapy that s needed is redemption for himself with a simple apology but that pride wont let him be free. Until he does that as a man he will be in vain fear mentally. Hamma clearly spelled it out that the lyric wasnt a joke and quite personal to him yet MC Search undermines the matter. 25 years of useless therapy and at what point do you see...IT AINT WORKING!!

[@thescatman5029]

@@Dee-zy2xv An apology is the high road, yes. But, think about the fact that a rap lyric is responded to by a death threat! And summons an entire crew to carry it out. I respect Hammer's legend. But executing someone for a rap line that was no threat. You can understand why someone would need therapy over that!

[@evelynbare1975]

We knew him as a youngin as skinny Stanley, and he was a sweet and joyous child. He grew up with it, though, but he STAYED a man of honor (on both sides). One of the few people in the world both bad to the bone, yet blessed by God. 😊 He is a good man in a bad world. What folks don't understand is that Hammer didn't have to move a finger, he was LOVED that much and it was real, not the fake ish of today.

[@timothygray8836]

He ain’t no fucking good man when he has put a hit out on someone before or wants to assault you cause of words you say about him. That’s not a good man in any way!

[@nickthelick]

As a white boy from the UK (who bought Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em! LoL!), I can believe that! I mean, I can believe he didn't have to lift a finger to get stuff sorted out! His entourage was always enormous apparently! And I also heard that his brother (Louis?) was affiliated with the colour blue, and held a fairly high rank! 😐🤔😬 And as Redman says in his interview with Vlad, "Hammer and his brother handled _fuckin' business",_ whenever business needed to be fuckin' handled! Ya feel me? ✌🏻😉👍🏻 But yeah, I was a totally oblivious 10/11year old when I listened to MC Hammer... I wouldn't understand the gangster side of things until a few years later, when I was about 15/16 and listening to Cypress Hill, NWA, Ice Cube, 2 Live Crew, Snoop Dogg, Eazy-E, Ice T and so on... (Whilst also listening to Nirvana, GnR, Soundgarden, Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam, Pantera, etc. etc.) I was 11 years old at the time! 😂 As Janis Joplin one said: "I'd give all my tomorrows for another yesterday".
