Can't Touch This!

What happens to old rap stars 15 years after their peak of popularity?

Here is a site that provides a clue:

mchammer.blogspot.com/

That's right! MCHammer has his own blog, and on blogspot, too!

Here is the picture of someone who left the entertainment industry, largely, and that it is possible to live a normal life after being heavily in the spotlight. At least that is what is presented. Of course he still does shows - like the Katrina benefit - but he has taken a different path. And, I read elsewhere that he has since become an ordained minister, and turned his back on the entertainment lifestyle.

You get to see his three kids, too, especially his youngest son.

However, looking at ordinary lives can be kinda boring, so this blog is nothing more than to pique curiousity. Given that his style of hip-hop faded in popularity 15 years ago, I don't see how we will see him dominate the spotlight again. So he will no longer be of any big influence (a point in my grading system). It would be of more interest to social historians, when they look at everyone elses blogs in 50 years.

Grade: B-
