MOVIE
Hammer. What can be said about Hammer? I wasn't there for the first 30 mins, and I'm glad. The HG clan saw the return of 'Bumpy, who was welcome. Seems that Hammer was a boxer who also had a heart of gold when it came to his 'hood. A drug gang we trying to take over or something and Hammer wasn't about to stand for it. One guy that tried to get out of the gang won a free trip to Canada, so I don't know why Hammer thought they were all bad. Hammer busted a few heads, got a few chicks, turned down a chick, boxed more than needed and had a car chase in a car sales lot. Ahahah that Hammer, what a skamp. There was a black Italian, who was with the gang. In the end, Hammer was busted up a little, but he gave more than he took. The gang went under and all was returned to right.

BUT FIRST THE HG BLAXPLOITATION DRINKING GAME
Ok, take a drink whenever wah wah guitars pop up. Hammer06.jpg - 5.19 K

CaptC> His 'fro's messy, but his 'pit hair's neat?
