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

Old memories??? March 29, 2009
This CD brings back old memories. Wish it had more older tunes but its still good
 Memories August 23, 2007
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 old farts!
let's go waaay back....back in to time..... July 26, 2007
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 and energetic raps appealed to a cross-section of listeners. Kids and teenagers imitated his look with flamboyantly-colored wide-legged ("parachute") pants and "take no prisoners" swagger. Also, his songs were catchy (if embarrassingly so, at times). Other songs he made famous on this album were "Have You Seen Her," (the closest thing The Hammer gets to a ballad), "Help The Children" and "Pray." Yes, this album will most likely cause a lot of snickering, and I realize I am dating myself, writing this review, but, hey, you knew this review was inevitable!...oh, and I am not shy about saying that the CD is indeniably a lot of fun, and takes you back to a place and time in pop culture that no longer exists.
