mc hammer redman beef

Redman gave an interview with VladTV and talked about his old school beef with MC Hammer. According to Red, Hammer was not one to mess with back in the day!

Red says on his very first album, he did a skit where he shouted out, “F*ck MC Hammer and his mama.” When Hammer found out about the skit, he decided to approach Red during the final taping of “Yo! MTV Raps.”

Hammer confronted Red and said, “You’re young but I don’t allow nobody to talk about my mama, you understand me?”

Redman said he was so shook, all he could say was, “Yes, Sir.”

The rapper also talked about an incident that went down back in Oakland. Hammer always rolled deep wherever he went, and Red and his crew were “boxed in” at an event and basically had to get the hell out before some sh*t went down!

Red said Hammer had hundreds of people with him, including the women in the group Oaktown’s 357. According to Red, his crew of men and women were no competition against Hammer and his goons, and anyone who tried to step to them would’ve gotten immediately “mashed out.”

Peep the video starting at 5:30 to LOL at this old school beef.

What do you think about Hammer being the OG Suge Knight?

  1. Most people who really know will tell you that the most "real" dudes are the rappers with the cartoon, squeaky clean Disney image. Fake thugs love to talk about it and act hard. Real thugs don't want to talk about it because they're not proud of that stuff. They want to be a regular, not Suge Knight.

    Real thugs only take that mask off when they feel like they need to do it. Hammer put a hit out on that CAC rapper back in the day. Apparently, Hammer is/was a crip, but he never wanted to promote that to kids or make it cool. However, he stepped to people when he felt it was necessary.

    You have to remember he tried to put like all of Oakland on. He paid random people $40,000 a year to dance in a shiny suit behind him. Many of those people were thugs. They respected him and protected him. He was also the same guy making all that gospel, motivational hip hop; so it has to bother someone when they're trying to be positive and help people, and someone comes for them on some silly stuff, especially when it's fake thugs. I'm sure Hammer pulled a lot of skirts.

    A lot of those smooth R&B dudes are gang members or thugs. Again, not everyone is proud of that. Some just do it because they feel they have to for whatever reason.

    • Love your post. Hammer is a great man and he did a lot for those in his community, and best of all, he always projected a positive image(regardless of his past.) Of course he was called corny, but he didn't mind. And look at him now. He has nothing to be ashamed of. How many gangsta non-corny rappers can say that?

    • I remember all of that! He looked out for folks when they didn't have a job or nothing. Hammer is pretty much the only entertainer who don't have no problems with no one and vice versa. But I remember that like the back of my eye balls!

  2. Fool a man who protects his mother is NOT A THUG! He is a GOOD SON! He is a RIGHTEOUS MAN!

    God does not require men to be wimps.

    Holy/Righteous wars were waged throughout the Bible.

    This coonish azz jealous caribbean jamaican piece of no talent, sh8t should have been deported for opening his big azz mouth against a great entertainer like MC.

    A hero provides LEGAL JOBS for his people dancing and guarding and singing. Thugs dont do legitimate jobs. Dumb azz!

    • No one can ever call you inconsistent Frannie. You are a one woman anti-Caribbean force.

      Are there any Jamaicans who you have liked or admired? Bob Marley??

      • Good point! I'm just being honest that 99% of my experiences and 99% of everyone I know experiences with Jamaicans and Haitians, in particular, have been ones of INGRATITUDE for the hand who extended to lift them up, and they not only bit that hand but does everything they can to destroy us for being able to help them (jealousy/hate is what drives their stupid behavior). Yes, I have some excellent entertainers that I liked.
        Patra
        Leon Isaac one of my faves
        Love Maxi Priest
        Have mixed feelings about that damn Bob Marley who spread a lot of hate down there with Fidel Castro. Most Americans dont realize when he speaks of Babylon coming to its knees he's talking about America/Americans of every race.
        The Caribbean Queen singer
        Mr. Bombastic, cant think of his name

        I love the positive Jamican REAL TALENTS but many of them have been replaced with the NO TALENTS. Dont know if the NO TALENTS did something to get them off the stage.

        I just find that 99% of them have jealousy/hatred of black americans and mean us no damn good if they think you have more money than them.

        • Actually Frannie, you are wrong about Bob Marley referring to America as Babylon. Bob was a Rastafari who believed that Babylon is the evil world power that embraces, oppression, carnal desires, and materialistic gains–an unjust, base society. He is not speaking of one nation in general– it is about a coming spiritual power that is killing the poor and oppressed and leading this evil all over the world.

  3. It's good to know Stanley's point was well made & understood.
    I agree with @frannie….EVERYTHING she said is exactly what Stanley did. He took care of 100s of people, young, old & in between by providing them gainful employment.

    He cheated on his wife for a long time with a former friend of mine which I was around to witness. I'm sure she wasn't the only one just as I'm certain Stephanie knew all about her but back then was no different than today in the fact that "you can't tell some women anything even your friends when it comes to a man 'EVEN WHEN YOU'RE SAYING LEAVE THAT LADY'S HUSBAND ALONE..THAT'S NOT CUTE NOR IS IT RIGHT.'" To this day I admire Stanley for "finally getting his life right & for Stephanie staying the course & being an excellent example of a wife who held true to her vows." She was/is the class act who stayed with her cheating husband, kept her family in tact & watched/helped her husband rebuild their life together. Not many woman are able to accomplish this under the varied circumstances she experienced in her marriage.

    ALL these celeb wives & women in general need to sit down, shut their mouths, stay OFF social media & take notes from either Stephanie Burrell OR Juanita Jordan depending on what direction they what to go…. Real talk!!!

    • I agree, Ms.Reg!…All of those people forgot the brother, when he fell off too!…Thery didn't give tha man, as much as a phone call!…..?

      • BQ,

        Oh it was absolutely HORRIBLE how everyone abandoned him & his family. One of the biggest betrayals for him during that time came from his boy Ace Juice… *F'd up would be a severe understatement.

    • Yes, I admire Hammer's wife too. The marriage vows say for BETTER OR WORSE, for a reason. And quite honestly I believe that it is in every man's nature to spread his seed around. The wise woman stays the course, as long as he is taking care of home. YOU CANT MISS WHAT YOU CANT MEASURE. That is an old saying. Aggressive men with really high natures can wear a wife out LOL Mine bout to wear me out with his all nighters, 6 or 7 times in one night LOL HELP a sister out LOL

      • Frannie,

        Thanks to both you & @BrooklynQueen for understanding & comprehending the gist of my comment.

    • Why are you bringing up some skank he had relations with? What does that have to do with anything?

      Hammer probably did more for Oakland than Obama. He's one of the hardest working dudes out there even today. And he's still putting Oakland on. He's one of the few rich AA who actually truly shared wealth with the black community and tried to create as many opportunities as he could.

      Instead of promoting violence against AA, instead of flashing money and insulting other AA, and instead of giving his money to white people; he went bankrupt trying to give it to black people he didn't even know.

      • RayRay on the corner did more for AA than obama LOL Surely you know Obama only gave us drugs, turned our men into homos, and sat by while thousands of blk boy CHILDREN were killed while he was worrying and crying about 50 homos in orlando

        • Obama is not mayor of Chicago, he is president of the United States. Surely you have read the constitution where it says what states must take care of their own issues, not the federal government. If Obama came into Chicago with troops guns blazing to stop the violence then what you you say? Y'all would be saying that the federal government is overstepping its bounds and trying to create martial law. And Obama didn't give us drugs, Regan did by making sweetheart deals with drug cartels in Central America to flood our neighborhoods with poisons. And last I heard, undercover brothers and homosexuals were around way before Obama. Homos have done with the Joos did- put themselves in positions of power to change the laws in their favor. If Obama didn't wanted to end up like JFK, he had to comply. You would too if you were president, don't lie. And Obama didn't just cry about homos in Orlando, it was any mass shooting that happened in this country in the last eight years, black crab. Stop with your secret republican rhetoric that you disguise in your hateful diatribes.

  4. Mc Hammer is a very kind, and giving man!..I've always heard about him being a very stand up, and loyal brother!…He didn't deserve the type of treatment that he received, from the East Coast savages!…Thery were just jealous of his mainstream success, and endorsements!…

    • Correct me if I'm wrong, wasn't MC Hammer the first rapper to achieve mainstream success?

    • "BrooklynQueen:" What do you mean by "east coast savages?" Are you from or in NYC or not? You must be a transplant. Yes, many rappers (west coast too) were maybe jealous of his success, but they were jealous because they made real hip-hop and he blew up by having sub-par rap skills and making pop music. He was more of an entertainer than a rapper. Many pop rappers back in the days got hate because they would claim to be making true hip-hop while knowing they made what they did to sell out.

  7. I like Redman but Hammer is a cool dude who looked out for his people and paid them. I think Redman is over exaggerating this situation. Hammer is an icon who paved the way with his music and fashion. I hope Hammer tells his side over the story. Lol.

  8. Redman is lying about his beef with Mobb Deep. I remember Keith Murray getting into a physical altercation with Mobb Deeps crew. Oh and let's not forget his brother K Solo beefing with Das Efx. K Solo was signed to Death Row Records for a quick second but got his ass out of there before anything happened. Redman no leg to stand on against Hammer. Hammer is a humble dude.

    • KEITH MURRAY SAID HE PUNKED PAC

      SORRY BUT IF PAC HAD ANY ISSUE WITH KEITH HE WOULD HAVE SAID IT NONE OF THE OUTLAWZ CONFIRMED ANY BEEF WITH PAC AND KEITH MURRAY.

  9. Brothers and sistas here is the deal. In the early nineties, most rappers and black media constantly criticized and insulted MC Hammer. Twenty years later, all of these rappers and r&b singers are doing the exact same shit that Hammer did back in the 1990's. That makes Stanley Burrell a pioneer, icon and one of the greatest rappers of all time.

    • never understood that kid n play was doing films and had a cartoon for those who remember both kid n play and hammer had cartoons.

      cube was doing films, and did a damn caRTOON.

      HOW MANY CARTOONS SNOOP DID KING OF THE HILL, BOONDOCKS, FUTURAMA.

  10. Brothers and sistas here is a blind item:

    There is a certain fat boy rapper who claims to be from South Central LA who told Hammer to "Be True To the Game." First of all how can this fat rapper be from South Central and he went to Taft High School in the valley? Anyway this doughboy rapper has A plus skills as a lyricist, but he has stolen money from several rappers. If you don't believe me, ask a female rapper name Yolanda Whitaker. Second of all this doughboy rapper made a diss song about Hammer, now he is doing the exact same shit that Hammer did twenty five years ago. Hammer gave jobs to dozens of people in the Oakland hood. This fat rapper exploited the black community, made close to a hundred million dollars and hasn't donated a single dime back to the black community! To put it in layman terms he is a thief! Hammer never said the N word but this fat rapper has said the N word hundreds of times in his music. I think this short, fat rapper needs to be true to the game. I think this fat doughboy rapper needs his ass kicked, AGAIN! Guess who I'm talking about!

      • Reg, clue Doughboy. Ice Cube played Doughboy in Boyz n The Hood. Girl, E-40? Nope!

      • ICE CUBE NO DOUBT ABOVE THE LAW WOOPED HIS ASS FOR TRYING TO BE TOUGH AND KOKANE WITNESSED THE ASS KICKING CUBE GOT.

        CUBE NEVER DISSED ABOVE THE LAW.

        WATTS UP BEAT THE FUCK OUTTA CUBE AND TOOK HIS WESTSIDE CONNECTION CHAIN

        KING SUN WAS GONNA WOOP CUBES ASS.

        KAM DISSED CUBE HARD CALLED HIM BIG FAT ASS JUNK IN THE TRUNK PAM ON MARTIN LOOKING ASS BITCH.

        KAM SAID C UBE HAD HIS GOONSA DO HIS DIRTY WORK.

        SHORTY FROM THE LENCH MOB MADE A ENTIRE ALBUM CALLING CUBE A FAKE GANGSTER.

        CUBE WROTE RAPS OFF STORIES JD, AND SHORTY AND T BONE WAS GOING THROUGH BUT THEY WAS ALL GOOD WHEN CUBE WAS PAYING THEM TO ENFORCE HIS NAME AS A MOB BOSS.

        LOOKS LIKE CUBE TOOK NOTES FROM THE EAZY E PLAYBOOK ON HOW TO FUCK HIS ARTISTS.

  14. Some claim Hammer confronted Cube, and scared him so bad, Cube denied the diss.

    I don't know if I believe it, but then again, imagine you see some corny-looking dude and you think he's soft. You talk stuff, and maybe even mush his head. Then out of nowhere he gets brolic AF. I can see Cube in a Deebo situation. lol "Hammer, don't hurt 'em."

  15. HAMMER WAS DISSED MAINLY BECVAUSE HE DIDNT PROJECT A HARDCORE IMAGE GANGSTER RAP JUST TOOK OFF AND ANYBODY NOT CONSIDERED HARDCORE WAS MOCKED.
