| | NJS4E: New Jack Swing & Urban Music by Andrew Knyte |
 | | Editor's Note: Although MC Hammer is best known as a pop rap phenomenon, his style of dancing and incorporation of RandB sensibilities into his music strongly warrant his inclusion in this Hall of Fame. |
 | | Hammer began touring non-stop, and throughout 1990 thru 1991, Hammer was seemed to be everywhere, selling "British Knights" sneakers, his own doll, endorsing Taco Bell and KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken), winning awards left and right, and even producing his own cartoon show ("Hammerman"). |
 | | Then in the fall of `91, Hammer decided to drop the M.C. moniker from his name and released his 3rd album, Too Legit to Quit, which sold a respectable 5 million copies worldwide, but people were tired of Hammer's positive, squeaky-clean image. |
