people were hypocritical. they hated on him because he had sponsors like pepsi etc. they called him a sell out because he was making money from those endorsements. but look at everyone now. everyone has soda commercials and clothing line etc. it is smart to have multiple sources of income. he was innovative in that! hammer will always have my respect.
Homeboy in the bikers with the BK's on is killin me. Hammer was the real thing though the Bay was fucking smashing in 86, hit Broadway than the Palladium, walk down that ramp through the mirrors and kill that dance floor.
@cursedbat I wish people would give him the credit he deserves. We need positive role models today. The girls were bad, all could dance. Where's the talent today?
Don't like him dissing run dmc, but LOVED this song when out came out and when it came on at parties, EVERYBODY was up dancing...it's tricky just didn't inspire the same kind of movement, but hammer? No contest. Cold go mc hammer
Didn't like the RUN DMC diss but when this video came out , DAMN the whole scene changed. He was a true pioneer, clothing line , toys, commercials and a cartoon. Queen Latifiah called him a sellout. Now she's making movies and commercials. They all need to thank Hammer.
@mb6085 True that! Hamma put Oakland on THE MAP!!! Too Short brought bass to Oakland. Queen Latifah can't stop making those comforting NIGGA MAMMY movies. Just like Oprah. See this is where the Blackman has gone soft. We let the woman dictate our manhood thanx to those hollywood HOOKNOSES. It's not natural, it's by design. This brotha is self made. Ice Cube with his fake, uncle tom sellout, jew-made bitch ass, soft faggot. sissy ain't Shit but a sellout.
This video REALLY doesn't get the historical revolutionary respect it deserves. I was in my late teens going on my early 20's when this video came out. It changed the ENTIRE dance scene in the clubs and in a lot of music videos! People talk about Hammer because he wasn't too smart with his money, but you can't minimize the importance of what he did with his music coupled with entertaining his audience.
watching this today compared to todays music is so refreshing....its simple and genuine,the girls look natural and have REAL bodies!!! no autotune,no bling,no half naked chicks- just showcasing their pure talent....thats all!!
I have always been a fan of Hammer since beginning and although he made bad choices with his money in the beginning I appreciated him helping ppl from his hometown. You're bound to make bad choices in the beginning but once the hype of having alot of money has passed you'll need to make major changes if you never wanna struggle financially again in the latter years of your life and be able to enjoy it.
I saw him open for Guy and Patty Labelle in Philly back in the day. I watch the stage shows now and it feels like something is missing now that they had then. Talent.
@Profeus No he wasn't that lyrical, but I can't name another rapper who could rock the crowd better. I've been to one of his concerts & it's an energy unheard of.
For all the Hammer haters...whether or not he was a good rapper, he made a HUGE name for himself that still rings 20+ years later. There were hundreds of MCs that were lyrically better than him...but do we sit and discuss them, good or bad, like we do Hammer????
We're an independent label trying to make it in this game and the best way to do that is by being more known on youtube.One of the ways we stand out is we help unsigned artists get more fans by uploading their songs for a new fan base

I remember when this video debuted, I called my wife into the living room to come see it. Said, you need to come and see this man work it out! Damn, I need a HYPE-MAN too! But this negro did lose his ever-loving mind, and got full of himself when he thought he could out dance Michael Jackson in his video 'Too Legit' Most of his lost money must have went to crack thinking he could out dance MJ.
Hammer was the first rapper that had mainstream endorsement deals and the other rappers hated him for it. They said Hammer sold out and dissed him. But then they found out later how lucrative those endorsement deals were, and jumped their back-bitting @ss on the wagon. Now we got Ice Cube making kiddie family movies, who dissed Hammer the hardest. I got nothing but love for Cube, but money will change a nicca's attitude...Are We There Yet?
As I said on his other vid sites, I liked him back in the day (still do) but dissin' DMC is NOT cool- and as far as old school rappers are concerned- no one can f*ck with MOE DEE!
I can't diss Hammer.. I was doing every one of these dance moves.. Hammer was an innovator for his time..No one else was doing this at that time..Plus it still sounds better than all that auto-tune shit thats out right now!!
PPL can say wut they want about HAMMER now,but the man was sooo raw at this time.There was nobody like him when he came out,even the hardest dudes like hammer.He made it O.K.to dance & he danced his a#? off! Rappers used 2 dis him 4 crossin over now they do it all tha time.HIP HOP SHOULD NEVER 4GET WUT HE DID 4 IT.
As an old school hip hop rapper and pop locker, I would never have purchased an mc hammer record due to his weak rhyme skills. On the other hand, I used to record his videos onto vhs tapes and play them regularly due to his outstanding dancing and entertainment style. This was one of the videos I had, and I am so happy that this was uploaded to youtube. Peace to Hammer, from LJ.
The Run-Dmc diss was wack but other than that this my $hit!!! I love all the dance moves they was killin shit!! I was like 7 yrs old when this came out & it still jams!! His rhymes weren't great, but if you can dance you in there!!
THIS WAS A JAM BACK IN THE DAY. BUT REGARDLESS OF THAT, HE HAS NO PLACE DISSIN RUN DMC. THEY WERE THE ONES THAT MADE "HIP HOP" NOT RAP MAINSTREAM. REMEMBER "WALK THIS WAY"? ENOUGH SAID. AND THIS FOOL WANTED TO CHALLENGE MICHAEL JACKSON TO A DANCE CONTEST?
If you don't love the Hammer, your just a hater. Out of the goodness in his heart he brought up leeches that he thought were his friends. I wonder if they are dead, in prison or rehab. Say what you want about Neion Deion Sanders, but the guy lent him a huge chunk of change when he was down. Many, many thanks to the Hammer for all the great times that were had at the dance club while listening to his stuff.
Mc hammer was a beast on this record!!! Not only did he sell 66k from his trunk of his car, but when he re-released it thru capital records in 88 let's get it started went double platinum!! This album is my favorite from the hammer, it's just raw and even though his raps are average, his overall dancing and performance is phenomenal!!!
LMAO! OMG, I loved this back in the day and used to kick it with the moves from 5:05 to 5:13 but try to do them now with my old big ass? 'I've fallen, and I can't get up!'
Run DMC put Hip Hop on the map but Hammer took it to the mainstream. It's easy to dis him now but many of today's "artists" wouldn't be anywhere if not for Hammer.
When he was 'MC' Hammer, he was a -beast-. Yeah he dissed Run-DMC, mistake. But this first record was dopeness. 3rd Bass-- whateva. Who are they? Who in this generation even knows the name? Hammer is known even to younger kids, proof positive he made some kind of impact. Not to mention being able to spend up 30 Mil and still go bankrupt takes TALENT. :-p
Remember coming back from spring break 1989 in Texas and seeing this and saying damn it boy!!!!!! Was fresh really fresh and props to those folks in Converse,Tx who introduced this to me!!!!!!
@UScellularFIELD23 that's just it; I don't know why they had to beef. Everybody loves RunDmc. Run may have said something about him trying to rap. I know he was real vocal about Warren G.
@daywalker48603 Yeah, I don't know if you know this 3rd Bass that song Gas face they tell Hammer to shut the f-up, and then they say what do we think about Hammer and they start making weird noises. But this song was actually tight.
@UScellularFIELD23 3rd bass was tight! Gas face was a great response to this song. Hammer made a lot of enemies in NYC, dissin the kings of rock was a bold move.
Man i aint even gonna lie, every since i seen this video i always wanted to dance with them swear if you see this you would want to so dont perp the beat, ohh the beat play this shit in the club swear you will get up
I remember recording this video on my VCR and rewinding it to learn ever move he did and dance at parties showing the hell off! Thanks Hammer for helping my get some *@% in college because girl saw you dance good always thought about you using the same moves in bed!
this was before the commercials, the cartoon with the dancing shoes, and soundtrack for the addams family. this is he had just ONE of the LIVEST HYPE MEN IN DA GAME.. AND HE HAD THE OAKTOWN 357 GIRLS!!!!
I Dedicate this to my cousin AKA.....(WORLD FREE!)The one who predicted Greatness LOL!! Booski love!!! Love your cuz MEEK! DETROIT STAND UP! And yes you put me up on Hammer's shoe comming off towards the end of the video...LOL,
Mc hammer's videos were like exercise videos back in the day, cuz when they came on, you were up and moving like mad, and doing some crazy calistenics to them! He used to get down back when he first came out. He was so live, and could dance too. At the time, he was the ultimate entertainment machine. MJ was a good entertainer in his own right, don't get me wrong, but he didn't bring it like this (back when Hammer was starting out)!.
@cirethgr8 That was the problem, Hammer didn't connect on the lyrical side. If he would of been as stong in that area as he was with the dancing. Nobody would of been able to say anything about him. It would of been you can't touch this foreal!
That's not why bro, West Coast rappers never got love from the East Coast until the Chronic hit. That scene where Hammer took the mic from RunDMC was poignant though as the symbolic passing of the torch for hip hop, because from that point on, rap music became largely more dance-oriented than lyric-oriented -- a trend that still hold true today. UNFORTUNATELY.
@kmccary Im from NYC, I know I had a problem with such a week rapper going after the greatest rap group from NY. Run-DMC's success open the door for guys like him. Hammer could not rap. And west coast rappers did get love on the east when they were saying somthing. I think Oakland rappers are wat better then L.A. cats. But not Hammer. Hammer never would have been a hit without video. He could dance.
I'm 35 years old. I loved this song, and NOTHING else he ever did, musically. I hear he's a good dude. I'm happy to hear it. That has little to do with my own entertainment. I'm not hating on Hammer. I was never a big fan, but I begrudge him nothing. I'm about the lyrics, not just presentation. He put on a pretty show, but I'd rather watch Rakim walk back an forth across stage. I'm more of a fan of that type of hip hop. Hammer's a legend, but not my cup of tea usually...except this song.
i still think its funny how he dissed run dmc and jmj, with out saying their names. it was more visuall than lyricall - most cats today do a visuall and lyricall
Since I'm a grown man, I can admit I liked Hammer back in da day! LOL Umm, his dancers were very good. I used to hate West Coast music. MC Hammer was like the only west coast video i could watch in the late 80's
@rainonariver: That isn't the cabbage patch. The cabbage patch is done with more of a circular motion of the shoulders. Janet does it in her Pleasure Principle video. He is doing a version of the Robocop.
20 years later , we must agree that no one can kill the floor like HAMMER !!! The man was so creative and talented !!!

@UScellularFIELD23 that's just it; I don't know why they had to beef. Everybody loves RunDmc. Run may have said something about him trying to rap. I know he was real vocal about Warren G.
daywalker48603 8 months ago
@daywalker48603 Yeah, I don't know if you know this 3rd Bass that song Gas face they tell Hammer to shut the f-up, and then they say what do we think about Hammer and they start making weird noises. But this song was actually tight.
UScellularFIELD23 8 months ago
@UScellularFIELD23 3rd bass was tight! Gas face was a great response to this song. Hammer made a lot of enemies in NYC, dissin the kings of rock was a bold move.

Mc hammer's videos were like exercise videos back in the day, cuz when they came on, you were up and moving like mad, and doing some crazy calistenics to them! He used to get down back when he first came out. He was so live, and could dance too. At the time, he was the ultimate entertainment machine. MJ was a good entertainer in his own right, don't get me wrong, but he didn't bring it like this (back when Hammer was starting out)!.

Hammer was the MJ of rap . He had the skills of good lyrics and knew how to entertain with his dancing.
cirethgr8 10 months ago
@cirethgr8 That was the problem, Hammer didn't connect on the lyrical side. If he would of been as stong in that area as he was with the dancing. Nobody would of been able to say anything about him. It would of been you can't touch this foreal!

nospaces08 10 months ago
How you gonna dis RUN-DMC? Thats why he got no love on the East coast. Also the fact he was not much of a rapper. He could dance though.
rexboogie 10 months ago
That's not why bro, West Coast rappers never got love from the East Coast until the Chronic hit. That scene where Hammer took the mic from RunDMC was poignant though as the symbolic passing of the torch for hip hop, because from that point on, rap music became largely more dance-oriented than lyric-oriented -- a trend that still hold true today. UNFORTUNATELY.

@kmccary Im from NYC, I know I had a problem with such a week rapper going after the greatest rap group from NY. Run-DMC's success open the door for guys like him. Hammer could not rap. And west coast rappers did get love on the east when they were saying somthing. I think Oakland rappers are wat better then L.A. cats. But not Hammer. Hammer never would have been a hit without video. He could dance.

I'm 35 years old. I loved this song, and NOTHING else he ever did, musically. I hear he's a good dude. I'm happy to hear it. That has little to do with my own entertainment. I'm not hating on Hammer. I was never a big fan, but I begrudge him nothing. I'm about the lyrics, not just presentation. He put on a pretty show, but I'd rather watch Rakim walk back an forth across stage. I'm more of a fan of that type of hip hop. Hammer's a legend, but not my cup of tea usually...except this song.

@rainonariver: That isn't the cabbage patch. The cabbage patch is done with more of a circular motion of the shoulders. Janet does it in her Pleasure Principle video. He is doing a version of the Robocop.
