thunder dome, and i just grew up loving snl so that was always a given when i was coming up rapping, one of my goals was to make it on snl for raps. that s different from most rappers, don t you think? not different from mc hammer. my older cousin was a big hammer fan. hammer was just a little bit before my time. i was born in 93. when hammer did snl he became the first rapper to do double duty on the show. so he was the host and in all the sketches and he also performed twice. i had a video cassette that my cousin handed down to me of his snl thing he taped and i used to watch it all the time. i was like, i m going to do this one day. what was awesome is when i got to focus on the show, i got to get back into my old writing bag and i wrote five sketches for the show, and three of them made it to air, i think. or two of them made it to air,
