--------------------
Too Short spoke to VladTV about his rivalry with MC Hammer when they were both coming up in Oakland, and he explained that things never got serious between them. Too Short also addressed MC Serch's claims that Hammer put out a hit on 3rd Bass, and he believes that Hammer wouldn't have to pay anyone to do anything to someone he had beef with.

@@wildsidetv313 Vanilla Ice too. Grew up in a broken home where he was beaten a lot, ran away at age 15 to South Florida, where he dealt drugs to survive. Ice Ice Baby was an autobiographical account of escaping a shootout that he was involved in while in South Florida. Later when he moved back to Dallas (and lived out of his car for a long time) he GOT stabbed (10 times) in a drug related knife fight. This is why Vanilla Ice didn't like to talk about his childhood years a lot and everybody assumed he was privileged until people actually went and dug up his arrest records. And the stuff he DID want to talk about, like his success in motocross, people falsely accused him of lying about. Compare this to Ice Cube, who everybody thinks is hard and made ultra hard gangbanging rap, but had a stable homelife with a loving family growing up, never dealt drugs, never injured or killed anybody, etc. Talked about the AKs a lot, but never fired one off in anger. Never got shot or stabbed. Only ever got arrested for non-violent performance reasons for BS charges that were dropped. That surprised Pikachu face that gets made when people realize Ice Cube was relatively privileged compared to Snow or Vanilla Ice...

[@SQTierHog]

Gotta pause.. This man is correct, and I didn't know MC on the street. I met him in early 84, I was assigned to work with him for a short time. We had many conversations, revolving around music, and where we were from. Everything I got to say about him is positive. He was an extremely sincere man back then, and through the many interviews I've watched with him, he ain't changed. Meaning, he's sincere, genuine, filled with integrity, and definitely loves his hometown, Oaktown. Everything I say is 100%. He'd tell me, almost every night, one day he was going to be famous, and I'll admit, I doubted him. I doubted him because I knew him by his last name and he wore a sailor uniform like I did. However, this man did not stop, what I mean is every single night he came in with some kind of dance move and I won't really go on about that here. Don't know if anyone cares. But what I would like to say, is that when he told me he was going to make it big, he didn't say stuff like he was going to buy cars and houses and stuff like that, he told me he was going to bring everybody with him, all the guys he know on the streets, their families, he was going to take care of them. He wanted to give so much back into 'Oaktown', and even included the Bay Area in general. He was so passionate about his town and his friends and making a career, why would anybody want to say anything negative to the man? I'll tell you, he never came across as a pushover. Strangely, there's a whole other story on how I learned that he was MC Hammer! You see, when I transferred out of his unit and into another unit, we went overseas and I never saw Burrell again. Until many years later, I see a guy on TV who looks very familiar to me, but couldn't place his name, eventually I did, and tripped me out. Still does to this day, obviously. Anyhow I won't go on about that story here, I've written way more than anyone would care to read. If anyone's made it thus far thank you very much, this man will always be on top as far as I'm concerned, he busted his ass every time I saw him, he deserves all the praise, because he earned it, nothing was handed to this man as far as I know! Hugs and respect to The MC!

I wrote a lot of stuff above, so I figured people would be putting me down for writing so much, but I'm glad you enjoy it. I still trip out a little bit about it all. What are the chances? He really was a phenomenal guy. Unfortunately back then, as you know, there was no Google so a lot of the things that Burrell told me I kind of called him on it, not really believing in the stories he was telling me, like being with the Oakland A's, and things like that which, as we know now, was all truth.

Hammer employed fed and helped people from his community at the expense of him filing bankrupcy (which to clear up is not the same as being broke!!) Hammer never sold out and was reputable at a young age and still is!! Wait until people actually start listening to those songs like "living in a world like this" "why cant we live together" "a song for eazy" and many more they are songs for intellectuals and people whose minds go through real life situations. And yes people so quick to forget hammer was on deathrow with snoop 2pac daz and all them. He is about family, up lifting the community and does not tolerate any type of non sense, much respect to the O's M.C. Hammer!!!

And Hammer was banging like the boss that he was, and is.These 2 brothers were very different in approach and delivery, but I'm glad that they both got their due in the industry.

[@Kevo1993]

Too Short is from a music era that I consider to be the best ever!

[@joelgoodwin8805]

I love these MC Hammer stories from fellow artists.

[@creoleDJ]

Hammer reminds me of that nerd in school who everyone talks shit about and tries to step to....only to realize they have a 5th degree black belt in ninjutsu!

[@DMalltheway]

You never heard anything from Easy-E saying anything negative about Hammer, he had a lot of respect for the guy.

[@gemstonezwilliams]

Facts‼️

[@selfiekroos1777]

Hammer was with Death Row records at one point.

[@brandonoats3493]

He was basically the gangster of Death Row.

[@adventurouslife4079]

Not very long. His album was never released and they gave Unconditional Love to Pac for his album even though Hammer had already recorded his version of it.

[@SQTierHog]

Was with Burrell in the Navy for a few months, was on temporary duty with him.'84 At beginning of comments section, choose 'top', not newest. Ain't got nothing to do with me, heck I was a lucky one back then, but every now and then I come back to this video to see how much love people have for MC (Burrell), so the stuff I posted speaks to the man that he was, and still is, from a perspective in '84, just us two guys working the late shift together. Lot of conversation, and a lot of dancing, lol. All the props everybody's giving him, 100%.

[@thatguyfrom313]

Hammer was a pioneer for what these dudes doing today. Hammer had a cartoon, that crazy ass Taco Bell commercial etc. He was really balling. There were many rappers taking shots at him or slick lines etc. Hammer was at the top of his game inn90-91. Hammer w as dancing early on but he was more harder around Feel My power and Hammer don't hurt em w/disses to LL and of all ppl Run DMC which was UNHEARD of at the time and the nerve of Hammer to do so. I think that was also to get respect from New York. I can remember going to a Hammer Too Short concert and Public Enemy,NWA,EPMD show. In the late 80s those groups and promoters would book those type of shows. Hammer is a unappreciated legend.

[@OfficialTrapNature]

MC Hammer from my neighborhood in east Oakland. Everything Short said was correct. Hammer ain't to be played with, but he is the most humble person you'll ever meet. Hammer is a part of the crew called High st Bank boyz. If you know Oakland, then no need to explain. They use to make us (the youngstas) box in the gloves all the time. If you didn't have hands, you couldn't hang out. Period..... We learned from the best. Too bad these youngstas today not blessed to be raised by real O.Gs

I've always loved MC Hammer, and I saw him in concert when I was 11 years old. One of the best memories of my life, and the way that the industry turned on Hammer was ridiculous.

[@thecursor1]

I love that his defense of hammer is “oh he wouldn’t have to pay.” MC Hammer was a fucking super villain.

[@johnlittle7181]

I was bumpin Too Short almost 3 years before Hammer even surfaced... Freaky Tales, Cusswords, Don't Fight the Feelin' straight classics!

I'm an 80's baby. We all knew that the one who wasn't constantly selling wolf tickets or pumping their chests out were the ones who could really show you how it works out.

[@finessbennett9417]

This is a good interview

[@amitypredator9385]

Always enjoyed Hammered music. He was always positive, he didn't glorify drug dealing;in fact, street Soldiers and Brothers Hang on were the complete opposite. The only time I've heard him say something on the rather violent side was in It's All Good, with that threat to Redman. It's a shame the haters helped keep the man down. Even if he had been employing too many people, he might have wizened up over the course of his career if the idea of listening to his must hadn't come off as being the uncool thing to do.

[@charliegutierrez8728]

I love it bro. Awesome video and you can even take it up a notch and say its like this all over the Bay. You never know who is more gangster. Some OGs in Vallejo showed me back in high school.

[@dogsandyoga1743]

Watching this again, I have to say that I'm glad that he brought up the point a MC Hammer wouldn't have had to pay anybody to fuck 3rd Base up. I mean being honest, back in them days Hammer could have told me to sock Serch in the mouth and I would have did it. Simply from he being for my city 😂

Aye what's crazy is ice cube went after hammer for being a sellout, going pop and all this time Hammer was a real G and cube never did any of the shit he rap about and did everything he clown hammer about! And i'm a big cube fan don't get me wrong but i'm just saying.

[@checkmateforever]

What makes you wonder as to why Hammer never checked Cube or Eazy E for their shots at him...fear maybe?

[@realcoachescorner3503]

Hammer never sold out...selling out means not giving back to the community that raised you. Hammer employed fed and helped people from his community people he knew who were from his area, that is not selling out that is called giving back and keepin it real! He gave back so much and tried to help so many people to a fault that he had to file for bankrupcy (which is not the samething as being broke btw). Wait until people start listening to his music again hammer had messages for the people with his music, honestly the world woulda been in a better place if people had been listening bc everything he talked about you can see how it has affected this generation and the youth.

1:17 Too Short saying that in the Bay that someone would just address it for them, his example of someone going to you and saying, "You're making Hammer uncomfortable" - It totally lines up with what happened when E-40's people snatched up Biggie and were ready to hurt him for talking shit about E-40 in a magazine.
