Stop! Hammer blog.

So is there any explanation of why Mr. Hammer was visiting Google?

He's planning on hiring on as a developer.

You know, I'm still perturbed by the title of the Hammer's second album.

Is it an emotional plea to Hammer, asking that he please not cause injury to 'em?

Or is it specifying that we should go ahead and "hammer," but to stop short of actually hurting 'em?

You can tell that this is the sort of thing that really bothers me.

Did Rick James rip off the "Can't Touch This" melody in "Super Freak," or did McHammer rip off the melody of "Super Freak" for his "Can't Touch This?"

More importantly, does this mean Google employees use Dell monitors with Macs?

Not that there's anything wrong with that...

AFROBLANCA IT IS MOST CERTAINLY A PLEA FROM SOME UNNAMED ONLOOKER DIRECTED TO THE MC HIMSELF TO NOT HURT 'EM. THE MYSTERIOUS NARRATOR'S NATURE COULD BE THE SUBJECT OF A GOOD THESIS... COULD IT BE THE EMBODIMENT OF EGO?

Citizen Premier,
Hammer sampled "Super Freak" for "U Can't Touch This".

Pretty_Generic, I always thought the more interesting question was: 'Did Hammer hurt him after all?'

but really, I heard that Paul McCartney was in a band before Wings. And I heard Dave Grohl was in a band before Foo fighters too.

Props to anyone who can actually find his blog.
It's like this:

Presumably a "recently created" blog.

I was so, so sad when I turned on my TV one day in Brooklyn to find the Hammer hawking used cars with E-Z Credit!!!!! on a local channel. That was about 3 years ago. Maybe he's doing better now.

This whole thing positively reeks of Rove.

So do the employees at Yahoo. Don't ask me how I know this.
posted by davejay at 12:35 PM on October 23, 2005

Doesn't everyone use Dell monitors with Macs? Sure, Apple monitors look pretty, but they're awfully overpriced. Google and Yahoo are being smart by using Dell monitors, given that they use exactly the same panel as the Apple ones.
