They were groundbreakers no doubt. But those two bands/groups are legendary and acclaimed across the board. Hammer is not - not even close.
And keep in mind - R-DMC and BB had only two Top 10 pop chart hits combined: Walk This Way (strongly helped by Aerosmith - was already a Top 10 hit a decade prior) and Fight For Your Right. Both are more rock songs than hip-hop.
Hammer alone had five Top 10 hits - three from one album.
Sounds like Rod Streater has passed Reilly for the time being.

The first three practices he may have been. But Allen hasn't performed all that well the last two practices. And both McCarron and Peterman have stepped their games up. McCarron especially.
Allen should redshirt for at least the first four games. Probably the first eight or maybe even nearly the entire season like Pat Mahomes last year.
You have to be joking. This defender literally stops well before Allen even steps to throw and lets him throw it. In a real game, Allen is crushed here.
