MC Hammer Talks About Losing His Money on The Opie & Anthony Show

[Nickyloveslove]

this is why he's KINGHAMMER heart of gold!~

[cyndeewi]

I love you Hammer

[neamparibe]

the new Schindler's list

[SERENITYFILMSLTD]

It's good to see that someone can help have humanity and not sell his soul to get to the top that's inspiring x

[vanxl9]

I understand hammer completely. I have gone broke many times but at the expense of helping friends and family. Maybe it might have been an excessive chunk of money which caused the hardship on my part, but it was for avoid reason no doubt. I love mc hammer perspective and I respect him for that. He will make 33 million more when he goes to heaven one day.

[SickKnowledge82]

He didnt forget, this was an isolated

Clip. As usual though this was another REAL moment on O&A they let the realness fly. Like wuth our friebd Patrice just go back theres so much to hear thanks to lettin smart broadcasters give air time to smart people. U can even see in Hammers expressions hes surprised with how long they all get to just dabble in stories. God bless good radio!

[0brother92]

he forgot to mention what he spent the rest of his money on

[Motown49001]

When somebody is trolling your supposed to ignore them, and just accept the fact of what would really happen if they said what they said outside the realm of the computer

[FistingSweetness]

what did this nigger just say? all I heard was booga booga lottery tickets rape!

[kungblao]

@FistingSweetness Did you know that white people have no pineal gland...that's why you cant even help saying ignorant shit like that...so don't feel bad man...its not your fault. you don't have a pineal gland...you don't have a soul. it's okay...though. At least you have money and technology. Google "WHITE PEOPLE HAVE NO PINEAL GLAND."

[kungblao]

@FistingSweetness this is also why you cant dance and have no natural rhythm...your hair falls out quicker than any other nationality on the face of the planet...and you burn up in the sun just like a vampire. this is because your body doesn't produce enough melatonin when you sleep at night..which develops melanin...which you don't have either. but at least you can talk shit on youtube...that kinda balances things out right? cheers!

[FistingSweetness]

@kungblao I need someone to translate what this nigger said hahaha I can't understand kungnigblaocoon hahahahahaha

[kungblao]

@FistingSweetness yeah...ignorance is bliss isn't it..? ;)

[ChesterDoraemon]

@FistingSweetness get a job so you can buy some fucking cotton swabs and clean out your fucking ears peckerwood.

[ecpeter]

@4520dean Not what you mom says :), she's lazy and doesn't like to do any of the work...good thing she's got those big titties and your dads away a lot hitting those gay bars.

[TheKj1434]

With a story like that, he needs a humanitarian award!!!!!

[youngcezer96]

nigga please u spent all ur money on expensive shit dis is jus hes cover story

[lesterclaypool1]

@youngcezer96

The two community centers that he set up in his childhood neigbourhood survived his bankruptcy and are still contributing to the youth that live there. Maybe you should see if there's any fruit on the tree before you accuse the roots of being rotten?

[flamexvi]

He said "I don't think they used me", It's a 99% chance they deleted him from contacts and their lives now that he blew his money.Funny how he points it back to employing people when he doesn't wan't to bring up what he actually did with it.But it was his money :X.

[Rubberchix]

Hammer seems like a good guy.

[schassse]

why 200 people?

[weejl]

good stuff hammer.. will always be 2 legit in my book... however they spin it.

[tricey2300]

He still trying to explain himself after all these years. His pride is still hurt and people still making fun of him on the slick side cause he lost all that money in such a short time. Because not long before all this happened he was on Oprah bragging about his plane and his house. Like the bible says pride cometh before destruction.

[ki3ran191]

@tricey2300 For what he's saying he spent his cash on, no one should be making fun of him for losing his money. He was changing lives and helping out his neighborhood, it's a lot more then other people have done.

[sorstudios]

Well said

[Frankensnizzle]

So I guess the custom Mansion,Gold Toilets and losing race horses had nothing to do with it.SMDH.

[bigdroz1982]

"Yup Sam killed him, badababa Sam you want a job so you don't KILL ANYMORE OF OUR FRIENDS!?!?!?!?" WTF is he talking about and why is nobody saying shit about the fact that he is saying he HIRED A MURDERER TO KEEP HIM FROM KILLING MORE PEOPLE!?!?! What's Sams last name so we can lock his murdering ass up and while we are at it lock Hammer up for covering up the murder and smack each one of the people that listened to this crap and overlooked the fact he said he hired a murderer. WTF!!!

[Tupacexpert]

@bigdroz1982 Exactly and Hammer said he was smart LMAO idiot just self incriminated himself

[ki3ran191]

@bigdroz1982 who gives a fuck, he changed his life from killing more people, You send a murderer to jail when he gets out he'll have nothing. Theres a lot higher of a chance of that guy murdering, or committing another crime. MC Hammer changed this mans life

[ThePingu333]

real talk rare for money volture............

[hotblk100]

hammer be talkin boy

[vkcproductions]

why did you do the nationwide commercial then ?

[jocam32]

i wanna get caught up in my humanity!!!!!!!!!!

[schassse]

@jocam32 wtf is he talking about?

[mjay216]

too bad he couldnt had paid them in trident layers

[Frankensnizzle]

LMFAO...and this nigga got nerve to diss Jay-Z?x)

[mrwhatever213]

@Frankensnizzle He is a much better man then Jay z the snake will ever be. his hood and street credit is through the roof! did you just hear that interview? name me one rich rapper who has ever done such a thing? you can't so you need to give this guy pros for helping the poor.

[vdjshigga]

@mrwhatever213 gotta agree with u there

[crocop4life]

@Frankensnizzle why not jay dissed him first.

[THEMAN62084]

Sounds like a very nice guy, hes actually pretty funny too.

[largeone000]

God bless you Hammer... I'm with you brother... MAN THERE ARE SOME HATERS FOR NO REASON!!! Let the man live.

[gopconservative78]

MC Hammer......excuse for pissing away money

[mrwhatever213]

@gopconservative78 It's the truth you dumbass! he helped people and still does! what the fuck is wrong with you turds. he did not piss away money he helped people.

[xXMW2VideozXx]

Jay-Z - So Appalled:

"The Hammer went broke so you know I’m more focused

I lost thirty mill so I spent another 30

cuz unlike Hammer 30 mill can’t hurt me"

[jorgeblaze]

cus unlike hammer 30 million cant hurt me!

-Jay-Z ahhhhh!

[danasht]

@jorgeblaze

Love So Appalled!

[cjbos81]

Homocides?!

So really, Hammer was just standing up for the gay community.

[1jjuuggaalloo1]

@guitarbutt ....what?

[scrawnyasswhiteboy]

Broke motherfucker

[latrice366]

@scrawnyasswhiteboy, you and I are much much broker then he is, so don't worry about Mc Hammer's money. Find out who Mc Hammer is, and what is in his soul. Your soul is what's important, you can always get more money! Put God first in your life, and not the power of money. Peace and blessings I spread to you and in the world! Amen!

[InfinityHour]

@latrice366 I know I'm much broker than him - that was the point of my heavily ironic statement.

His eloquent explanation of the factors behind his "bankruptcy", along with his obvious intelligence & class is the whole reason I made a JOKE comment.

Dismissing him as a "broke motherfucker" suggests I'd completely ignored what he addressed in the video & blindly stuck with the media's spin.

Thus, it would seem pretty obvious that I was just making a joke ... well, except to bible-bashing morons ;)

[everythingstakin]

I miss the Hammer days......."The Funky Headhunter" album was my favorite and NOT just because of "Pumps And A Bump." I use to sit on my porch in one of those wicker rocking chairs with his tape in a recorder, not even a portable stereo......A RECORDER!! and play that tape over and over again. I played that that album more times then any other album EVER!!  I was embarrassed to claim to like Hammer back in school to my friends but I have no problem now that I know being different is important!!

[AndrewKo1218]

I don't give a shit what any of you say. Anybody who can make parachute pants cool is pretty damn talented.

[josephNYY2]

@AndrewKo1218 EXACTLY! Aladdin was the best!!!!!

[miamimagicians]

@AndrewKo1218 Definitive, the biggest Rapper/Dancer of the early 90's by far!

[nawlinssun]

Real talk Hammer help a lot of people.He just had too big of payroll.

[shootthedevil]

He did pissed all his money away. This was rationalizing. It would be better if he create small business in the project .

[JayXavier]

You're not a humanitarian for keeping murderers on the street, you cock. You wouldn't have had to piss away your money on those guys if you would have just called the police. It's free.

[316mahmoud]

im from m.e & irealy like hammer but im very sad about him now

[indianajoe219]

The best way to help poor people is not to become one yourself...

[kenfcarzn]

I don't know about you but 5 million ain't broke...Hammer is not and was never broke but compared to the industry he is. You can take a million from someone that has made a million and they will eventually make it again, but you can give a million to a fool and they will lose it all.

[kenfcarzn]

Listen my sister went to school with hammer, she knows him very very well. She told me that he told her that he filed for BK to be able to keep some of his money. Yeah what he was trying to do was noble and yes he did blow a lot of money, however it is just like Donald Trump when he went from having Billions to only having about 5 million, he filed for BK and everybody said he was broke.

[NOLAsoulchild]

This is why I still love MC Hammer today. After aaalll these years. And I been a Hammer since he came out & I'm 29...Do the math. And "Keep On" still my favorite rap song.

[precocious7360]

its a good virtue .... and i applaude his genorousity...

but good people always finish last... and so i give back what plagues me, whatevers extra, but finacial independence is far more important than other peoples lives. that simple...

[cornbreadthedog]

wow! i never knew the whole story. that hammer's a good guy. he did what he could. but i do agree with you..[peace!

[AaronRodriguezTV]

nah, he spent his money like there was no tommarow, 17 luxury cars, 2 helocopters, leasing a jet. A ton of othere stuff. But to hire like 200 people, dude, hire 8-10 people, not the whole city

[nsewx]

good for him, more power to hammer.

[thewhulk]

200 employees fuck. 20 is a lot in my opinion (unless you own a manual labor business or have very special needs idk)

[dariusdelanodante]

looks like some body touched his bank account

[trig1907]

y is he broke?

[aireun]

this guy is a little full of himself

[lowendentheogen]

MOTHERFUCJER HAD GOLD TOILETS

[Adriangrosvenor]

@lowendentheogen For real, damn. Gold toilets to take a dump

[kidynamite666]

yea WTF ARE YOU DOING AH DA DA DAHHH DAH OHHH THATS TERRIFIC pull a fkin christian bale on all these idiots outside the glass cubicle

[nataskaos]

I'm more interested in how you do a radio show with all of those god damned people running around outside.

[ChromeTecNina]

I can't believe how well this dude is holding up. I remember rocking out to his FIRST album (before Please Hammer Don't Hurt Em) over 20 years ago. I guess the blaek don't craek.

[baltusd]

30 mill ?

[VariedInterest]

Man this guy is so full of shit.

[Tulkastaldo]

Does anybody remember the MC Hammer cartoon from the 90's-Hammerman on ABC? that was the lamest piece of crap ever.

[jovieandjames]

I respect you Hammer for saving lives. GOD will bless you for thinking that way. Peace...

[5yearplan1]

You are right. Hammer has a new show that shines a light on his character. He is a good, loving father and great husband. It is nice to see that he is still with the same wife after all these years. He has a big heart and he is blessed for that.

[angela1894]

He's still stupid for not realizing that trying to support too many people would make him broke. You can be a philantropist but you have to know where to draw the line.

[5yearplan1]

angela1894

I don't think he is stupid, just a little naive and too helpful. But he seems to be doing great now.

[ThousanWhite]

It's all good now, though.

[LegendaryGIR]

Why is Intern David there? Why haven't you guys killed him yet?

[Leftrightsv420]

is that intern david in the background?

[kzos]

Seeing David just took me entirely out of the fucking video, god damnit do I hate that non-contributing zilch.

[JSB741]

Yeah, thumb someone down for asking a legit question regarding an intern on the show. I'm enamored by the pussification complete anonymity allows some people on the net.

[jscrewed]

is it really the first time opie? is it?

[maddogdugan]

Whats your policy on pants!?

[yjmoneypit]

does any one not the name of the train eletricution video they are talking about

[MeetTheMedic]

ht tp : // bit . ly/ 3bPaJ

Just get rid of all the spaces and it will take you to the video of the guy being electrocuted

[thebudgetgamer]

if you give a man a fish you feed him for a day. if you teach a man how to fish you feed him for life.

:)

[DimebagVision]

YAY GOD!!!!

[thebudgetgamer]

just a few words from the good book.

:)

[peeteedubs]

David makes me want to commit vehicular manslaughter.

[Glempa]

Now he's MC Hammersticks, hammering away like he's..freaking....Tommy Noble. What the hell is he doing? Thinks he's... thinks he's got it going bossa nova.

[rapttor94]

Give the man some respect, yeah david was distracting me too, along with Danny without a hat...

[TheMotherfer]

David ruined it.

[thorspinky]

Nice. I like him now.....14 years to late.

[Pyloff]

This doesn't explain his house at the time. DAVID!

[sillyassynipples]

3 card Molly???

[eveningniteshade]

Why is intern David and BoBo there?

I don't think they were even on the show. It ended with this interview.

[kd5ful]

Hammer makes good sense, and I wish Daving would go to India, stand on a railcar, and grab a wire.

[Bgoff27]

Booo...

[theronin23]

Fantastic interview

[FREDfromBrooklyn]

I cant take my eyes off Intern David in the background

[FREDfromBrooklyn]

I can't take my eyes off intern David in the background

[Fittsburgh]

This was the best interview I've heard in a while.

[kwerner13]

who payed for this floor? not me, not never

[Frrrrrrrrunkis]

this aint my chair...

[Scotty519]

Not my chair not my problem, thats what I say

[TxBoarHunter]

No way....NO WAY

[drivepro]

Whos this guy? Mr. Walkway...
