4.0 out of 5 stars Did He Say 'ULTIMATE O.G.'? HaHaHa..., January 12, 2005

Mayne,mayne,mayne...by the time this album dropped, Death Row was rakin' in millions with Dre,Snoop, and the Dogg Pound, dance/pop-rap had become a thing of the past, Hammer was goin' broke and perplexed cause his peeps had flipped on him and his sells were droppin' dramatically behind Too Legit,Hammer started kickin' it with Suge & Tha Row, and on top o' that, other lyricists had jokes. So Funky Headhunter was pretty much Hammer's war declaration to all the critics from inside and outside his circle. The production was, of course, tight, bein' that some of the tracks were laid by Daz & Kurupt(DPG)...as a matter of fact, some joints were remindin' me of Too Short when they weren't soundin' like Snoop should've come thru with some cameos. Vintage Hammer music, danceable hits, only with a lot more edge, darkness, and intensity. The only problem that I had with this release,however, was the fact that my boi tried to take his image from Church hop to Crip hop...how you gonna go from 'Do Not Pass Me By' to claimin' to be an Oaktown Mack and the Ultimate O.G., bustin' on Q-Tip, Redman, Blacksheep(weak disses I might add), and thus crucifyin' your credibility? Lookin' back, Hammer was keepin' it reallest when he was dance-rappin', sellin'/makin' millions, and turnin' a deaf ear to the 'gangsta' critics who later popped out themselves. But musically, Funky Headhunters a keeper.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! The Pumps and a Bump!!!, December 10, 2005

Pumps and a Bump is the tightest song i've ever heard. That song is total gangsta. If this album didn't have this song and One Mo' Time, this album would be a 1 star album. With those two songs I think it deserves 5 Stars.

4.0 out of 5 stars YES, I'M STILL DOWN WIT MC HAMMER!, January 13, 2004

MICHAEL TAYLOR "SNAKEFIST2" (RICHMOND, VA USA) - See all my reviews

OUT OF ALL OF HAMMER'S ALBUMS, THIS ONE IS THE BEST. THIS ALBUM FLOPPED DUE TO THE FACT THAT HAMMER HAD TRYED TO GO GANGSTA. ACTUALLY, HAMMER SEEMS TO HAVE A LOT MORE LYRICS ON THIS ALBUM, HE USES BETTER BEATS, AND HE EVEN SOUNDS BETTER ON THIS ALBUM. SURE, HAMMER WAS SERIOUSLY GOING UNDER AT THE TIME THIS ALBUM HIT THE STORES, BUT IT WAS A GREAT ALBUM. THE BEST SONGS ARE ''HELP LORD [WON'T YOU COME]?'', ''IT'S ALL GOOD'', ''ONE MORE TIME'', ''SLEEPIN ON A MASTER PLAN'', ''BREAK EM OFF SOMETHIN PROPER'', AND ''SOMETHIN BOUT THE GOLDIE IN ME''. EVEN THOUGH HAMMER WAS TRYIN TO BE GANGSTA ON THIS ALBUM, HE STILL MANAGED TO KEEP HIS LYRICS CLEAN. THIS CD IS A KICK-A** CD. IT HAS SOME SUPRISINGLY GOOD FLOWS AND IT HAS SOME GOOD SONGS THAT'RE GREAT FOR PARTYING. IF YOU LISTEN TO THE LYRICS, YOU WILL NOTICE THAT HAMMER DISSED MC SERCH FROM 3RD BASS, A TRIBE CALLED QUEST, RUN DMC, REDMAN, KRISS KROSS, AND RODNEY O. THA DOGG POUND LAY DOWN A FEW LINES ON ''SLEEPIN ON A MASTER PLAN''.
