- Summer can't get much hotter for M.C. Hammer. Moving off
- record-store shelves at the rate of more than 100,000 a day,
- his album Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em is about to become rap's
- all-time best seller. Unlike rap groups that do songs for
- "shock value," he says, "I'm selling entertainment that
- contains the message of positivity and concern for kids." Once
- a bat boy for his hometown Oakland A's, Hammer, 27, is in
- music's big leagues and batting 1.000.
