Hammer - U Cant Touch This Pray

Review by Dan Benton

U Can’t Touch This Pray by Hammer: A Wild Ride Back to the 90s Alright, let’s get real for a sec. When I saw U Can’t Touch This Pray sitting there on my playlist, I wasn’t sure what to expect. It’s Hammer, yeah—Mr. “Can’t Touch This” himself—but this album came out in ’95, right when pop rap was kinda doing its thing. And honestly? It’s got that weird mix of nostalgia and… well, moments where you’re like, “Wait, is this still cool?” Spoiler: Some parts are. Some parts aren’t. But hey, here we go. First off, you can’t talk about this album without shouting out “U Can’t Touch This.” Like, how do you even forget that track? Whether it’s the original or the LP version (both included here), it slaps hard. That bassline? Iconic. The way he rides it with those confident bars? Legendary. This song just screams early 90s swagger, man. Every time I hear it, I’m instantly back in middle school gym class trying (and failing) to bust out some moves during dance unit week. You know what I mean? It’s fun, brash, and unapologetically bold. Even if you think you're too cool for it now, deep down, you’ve gotta admit—it’s stuck in your brain forever. Then there’s “Pray.” Oh man, this one hits different. It’s slower, more reflective, and has this gospel vibe that sneaks up on you. There’s something raw about the lyrics; it feels like Hammer’s pouring his heart into it. Listening to it made me sit back and actually think, which doesn’t happen often with pop rap. It’s almost jarring compared to the hype of “U Can’t Touch One,” but maybe that’s why it sticks. It’s not perfect—it drags a little near the end—but dang, does it make you feel stuff. Greg Vaughn mastering this album deserves a shoutout too. The sound quality holds up surprisingly well considering it dropped over two decades ago. Collectables did their thing putting this together, though part of me wonders if they knew how wild people would still be about these tracks today. So yeah, U Can’t Touch This Pray isn’t perfect. Sometimes it feels dated, other times it’s straight fire. But isn’t that true for most things from the 90s? What really gets me, though, is how Hammer managed to blend bangers with moments that make you stop and reflect. Not many artists pull that off. Here’s the kicker: As I listened through this album again, I realized something kinda funny. Hammer might’ve been ahead of his time. Like, imagine dropping these songs in 2023—they’d probably blow up on TikTok or something. People love a good throwback moment, and Hammer delivered them before we even knew we needed ‘em. Anyway, give it a spin. Just don’t blame me if you find yourself humming “U Can’t Touch This” for days.
