Editorial Review:
In hip-hop, respect is like currency, and by the mid-'90s MC Hammer was as bereft of props as he was of cash. But there was a short period in the early '90s when every clock in the land read "Hammer time," and truth be told, he was the artist who introduced a lot of kids to hip-hop and its many possibilities. The driving force behind Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em, of course, is the irrepressible single "U Can't Touch This," built on the central riff from Rick James's immortal "Super Freak." Hammer also scored with album cuts "Here Comes the Hammer," "Have You Seen Her," and "Pray," but after that, it was a short trip from Benzes to VH1's Behind the Music. --Daniel Durchholz

if you were born in the early 80's (i think Hammer had many kids as fans) or before then buy this cd for nostalgic reasons or just if you wanna have a good laugh (yes, it's that bad). it's worth the cent you can get it for but i wouldn't pay a cent more for it (a price too high, 2 cents or more could destroy the comedy-effect this cd has from today's view).
if you were born in the 90's and don't know Mc Hammer then i want to put it short: this cd sounds like a good collection of boring ... Read More

The name "MC Hammer" was synonymous with parachute pants, dancing entourages, suspenders and funky fresh dance moves. PLEASE HAMMER, DON'T HURT 'EM is a real trip in the time machine for those of us old enough to remember its early 1990s release. I was eight years old at the time, and practically everyone I knew [and their brother] was ripping "U Can't Touch This" (with a recognizable sample from Rick James' "Superfreak") in their tape decks. Hammer's combination of up-tempo, synthesized instrumentals ... Read More

Rating:  - brings me back
I first listened to this album when I was about 6 years old (yes Hammer keeps it clean), probably around 1991 or so, and listening to the songs now really brings on powerful feelings of nostalgia. Of course I thought "U Can't Touch This" and "Here Comes the Hammer" were awesome back then, but I have found that the songs that have really stood the test of time are his more inspirational ones. They don't suffer from the outdated feeling you get with many of his oldschool style tracks. Hammer can really put a ... Read More
Rating: - Every rich rapper and rap executive owes their life to Mr. Stanley Burrell aka MC Hammer
It makes me sick to think that these so called hiphop purist dissed Hammer for going commercial in the early 90's. Everybody dissed Hammer from 3rd Bass to Tribe Called Quest to Ice Cube. Yeah, Mr. "Are We There Yet" Ice Cube. Hammer was not the best lyricist but he was and still is one of the best entertainers hiphop ever had. These dudes dissed and tore down Hammer then went even further commercial than he did, with less integrity. Every rapper that has commercials, cartoons, label deals, merchandise all ... Read More
