No multis, metaphors, adlibs or gimmicks just storytelling lyrics and a nice flow.

The Funky Headhunter & his Death Row album had some incredible production, can't say I agree with your point of view of him as a rapper though. Hammer's a legend nonetheless.

I would rate Hammer as a complete artist of a much higher calibre than 85% of the west today.

For me he is in that video the sellout cube was talking about in true to the game

And enough about that dumb talk about making money, you do have principles do you??
Or do you sell your own mother.... if money is the ultimate goal, why don't you sell her?

The end result may have been the same but the Hammer started off different cos his aim was to keep his people off the streets instead of snatching up desperados from the street and unleashing them on the industry.
