Killowem Gael Nobles. Today's topic is mc hammer crave EMC Hammer believed in feeding people positive things through his music to help souls. He once said in an interview with Revolt that he grew up in a very negative and violent environment. He viewed music as a way to escape. He did not need to take his music and create the same tension that was already happening around the house and
in the street. So when he created songs, he wanted it to be a way to escape to places you never been, to see things in your mind like pictures, positivity, romance, and love and things that inspire you to do more. He wanted that in his music and to take you away from the negative things I knew. I always liked Hammer and his music for some reason. I thought the world of him. When he made the rap song Pray, it was the truth. We got to pray just to make
it today. It was a song released in August nineteen ninety and even then there were negative things like violence going on. Hammer was encouraging people and telling the world how he worked hard to make it and on his knees every night to pray. Nothing happened until he prayed. Thank you, mister m c hammer, for helping us to see something positive in your music. Thank you
for encouraging us to keep on moving forward. Pray became mc hammer's biggest hit on the US Billboard Hot one hundred, where it peaked at number two. The track also became a top forty hit in multiple countries. The song was certified gold in the US on November twenty sixth, nineteen ninety
