The Funky Headhunter is the fifth studio album by American rapper Hammer, released on March 1, 1994, via Giant Records and Reprise Records.

The album at the time was hailed as Hammer's comeback album. As with some earlier songs such as "Crime Story" (from the album Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em),^[2] the content and reality about "street life" remained somewhat the same, but the sound was different, resulting in Hammer losing favor with fans.^{[citation needed]} Nonetheless, the record was eventually certified platinum.^[3]
