If all these great artists on this show only knew how the genre would slowly decline. This was the peak I believe but hopefully hip hop, real hip hop, will peak again.
His image and persona didn't reflect it, but Hammer was a REAL gangster. Nobody was tryina mess with him and his entourage. He was powerful entity in the Bay back then.

The commercials are more onstalgic than the music videos.
How MTV went from this to what is now… Disgusting
