Stanley Kirk "MC Hammer" Burrell from Oakland, born in 1962. It means he's about 24-25 years old. Above all, it means that the rapper has been selling his records for about two years on the street and from the trunk of his car and he's blowing up in the nightclubs of the Bay Area. He tries to live by founding his own independent label thanks to some friends and thanks to the benevolence of the local DJs; Hammer manages to make a name for himself: among the most requested on the circuit, he earned a contract with Capitol Records and releases his second effort. It seems that this record is the union of some of his hit singles such as "Let's Get It Started" and some cuts present in his second LP.
And we end up with a sort of raw and skinny beats (except "The Thrill Is Gone", which has a sound dominated by jumping synths, pretty fresh rhythm), functional hooks in series, many failed, some R&B hooks, some female background, many scratches scattered everywhere and a weak rapping despite the hardcore delivery perpetually attempted by Hammer. 3/10.
