WOW, hmm so where would black people be if this had caught on instead of gangsta rap. . . what if we were known for making fun music and innovative entertainment instead of music about drugs, mysogyny and death? #whatcould havebeen
"this is my style, I made it, you couldn't do it if you cold went and paid for it"
In the history of rap Hammer has no peer as an entertainer !!! Only Big Daddy Kane and Heavy D gave you the clean lyrics with some choreography but on a smaller scale. This vitriolic crap of todays rappers with their buffoon shouting yeah, yeah while the rapper walks from side to side for 20 mins. is lackluster and dull. Same shit different face.
When brothas started thinkin it was not cool to dance,Hammer said WAIT A MINUTE.He made it cool 2 dance,like GOODY MOB said ''THEY DONT DANCE NO MO,ALL DEY DO IS THIS''.He gave u a show legends give,i liked it really when it was just him,his brother,& 357,but he had 2 spread his wings & fly & help others fly as well.ROUND OF APPLAUSE 4 THE 1 & ONLY M.C.HAMMER!!!!
@icthruu4evr 2 years? Hammer was everywhere! Stage, T.V. , movies, commercials, cereal boxes, his own cartoon series. Everwhere. People had to look at their driver's license to make sure he there too. He still got hands on stuff here and there.
thank you hammer for this video..this was detroit all the way i am from the d-motown land most music of today was influenced by motown the detroit aound..detroit and oaktown are like twins that share panthers,blackness and heart,,,i loved seeing this video-thanks for given much pub to detroit and bringing your love here...hammer was a bad ass dancer..man he had moves out of this world and always gave 200% this is why he did it got the t shirt and still is being blessed to this day..
@icthruu4evr This is from 91 I think, His Albums Feel My Power (1987) Let's Get It Started (1988) Please Hammer, Don't Hurt 'Em (1990) Too Legit to Quit (1991) The Funky Headhunter (1994) V Inside Out (1995) Family Affair (1998) Active Duty (2001) Full Blast (2004) Look Look Look (2006) Info from Wikipedia
This song is about the day MC Hammer went to open a village fate in Cheshire, England where the villagers had constructed the world's largest food blender. The village fate was then invaded by a local group of Vanilla Ice fans who ran at Hammer and then throw him in the giant blender.. hence the song 'they put me in the mix'.
I use to perform these songs as tributes to Hammer in highschool back in the 90's i still think Hammer was just to cold thats why so many people use to hate on him ! But i had his back i saw him in concert twice i even challenged his crew and got to meet them it was great the best time of my life ! I was 17 yrs. old in little old Peoria ILLinois at Manual High school ! Could nobody dance like him and his moves were difficult to master but i did my best ! I was known as the mexican Hammer ! ; )
@joeljbroughton - This is not Joels account but Gamemasterjavier i will upload my highschool performance on youtube hope yall like it i was 17 years old and this comment was made by me GamemasterJavier i was the Mexican Hammer !
I remember seeing this in person at the Oakland Coliseum...Off the Hook....Rap Music has changed so much alot of it really sucks, It just isn't the same anymore...
I remember being a kid an watching this video on video viberations on BET my old school people know what im talking about . When BET was worth watching an mannn I use to be beating the carpet up lol dancing lol Im glad im an 80's baby 1980 to be exact:) i don't care what nobody say hammer use to be the shitttttttttt HE WAS A TRUE AND REAL ENTERTAINER
Hammer was the MAN....he worked his ass off at a show to entertain the crowd...and like ibshizzle said....he tried to give back and help to many tirfaling friends he grew up with....leaches as i call them...my daughter was around 8 when hammer first hit it big and her and i made every concert, charity basketball game.. whatever....cause i really respected the MAN and his music...people use to ride me about taking my daughter...shit...best role model i could think of.
you got that right....and not only that but when you went to a hammer show you GOT your moneys worth cause he really did work his ASS off to entertain.
Oh man! Now I remember how good music use to be. Fuck this solja boy and rosco dash and everything else from the south today. Fuck it, let's bring back troop suits and cross colors lol
Hey yall lets get it rite hammer has never been broke this is wat tha news says. His wife stephanie was a true lady she stayed in tha back while yall thought he was broke she hade money put away. stop listen to wat u hear and start trustin wat a true women can do. i give her much due respect cause she handle her family

All the rappers calling Hammer a sellout where jealous they weren't as popular or as talented. These rappers didn't want Hammer making all the money and getting al the fame so they maligned him, tried to ruin him and then stole the endoresement opportunities for themselves.
Most rappers today can't dance a lick, they just know how to rap, they walk around the stage moving their arms back and forth, jumbering around like some kind of anaimal. M. C. Hammer isd the best rapper of all time, a worthy successor to the greatest entertianer of all time, James Brown.
@PaulDA2000 I know what you mean, he may not have been the greatest lyricist, but he was a damn good entertainer, I will tell you that! These rappers today are just jokes all around!
When videoes were worth while watching and folks DANCED....not just push and thrusting their bodies with barely a bit of material on your themselves!!!!!!!
i miss how music was about dancing and having fun and being positive. Now music is all about sex drugs and crime. I wish I new how good I had it back then. I feel sorry for my sons when they get older because I am afraid how much worse the music is going to get. Dont get me wrong there is some good music out there but the majority sings about all negative stuff. Too much cursing and sex talk. Its deplorable.
HAMMER WAS OFF THE HOOK!!!!! I don't give a damn what NOBODY say! When you saw him perform, you knew he was giving 110%! I'm going to iTunes RIGHT NOW to buy all of his shit! I think I still have his 1st, 2nd and 3rd albums on casette tapes!
I still have his 1st album on tape. I played his 3rd till the tape broke! And you're right! You could put this video and his contributions against any of these new fools on the scene today and Hammer would pound 'em all! No special effects, no camera tricks! Just straight to the point, 150% entertainment!
@Vamply And you're right about THAT! Now you know you're a die-hard fan when you STILL have his albums ON CASSETTE! The thing i loved about Hammer was the fact that when he gave a show, he gave 110% just like you posted. But he was NEVER about gimmicks. He was always about "giving all the people all they can get." And he never had to diss nobody to get anywhere.
@Vamply The effort that he put into his videos and performances, these cotton-candy, sweet ass, cotton pickin' rappers of today need to study him and take notes on how to really entertain the people. He didn't need AutoTune or skinny jeans to make a statement!
i used to order this when iwas 9 or 10 on the "jukebox" channel 23 in sacramento ca..'89 was the shit ..base pipes, donkey ropes and parachute pants LOL
the reason hammer went broke was because he was trying 2 help his friends and give back 2 his community. unlike now you dont see rappers giving people jobs like that hammer had so many dancers and him being a good hearted dude he ended being betrayed and broke all respect 2 hammer.
True and he was just plain wasteful and made bad finance decisions with the money he didn't give away. He spent tens of thousands of dollars on stuff like gold doorknobs and faucets in his house. Also, he bought some expensive race horses and tried to make it in the racing game.
@lbshizzle Sorry but that's bullshit. You don't blow $30 million just by giving people jobs. Hammer lived a lavish lifestyle that was beyond his means. His concert productions became very expensive while at the same time his record sales dropped like a rock.
He tried to blame the people around him, but Hammer was really to blame. He thought he was invincible. He was in denial when his music no longer sold. That's what killed him. Because he just kept spending like he was a big shot.
@lbshizzle buying a brand new car and leaving it in the hood for someone to take is just plain ole retarded. great music and a great person, just not very smart.
@lbshizzle Hammer's a good man, period. If you ever see him in interviews, it's like he can't believe how people abandoned him! Whatever, he hasn't done anything he should regret, helping is helping, and entertaining is entertaining, and he's the Mack.
I was lucky as a child to make money doing hair. I swear I spent most of it on this video paying my mother and father back for ordering it everyday all day during one summer on the "Juke Box." That was the BET for most kids now days. I LUV and still Luv and respect Hammer and what he did for the entertainment industry. Watch his new show he's still got IT!
dnt start this ok?dnt read this(cuz it really wrks). u will gt kissd on the nearest frieday by the love of ur life. 2mara wll b the bst day of ur life hwever if you dnt post ths comment 2 at least 3 vids u will die withn 2 days nw uv startd readn this dnt stp this is so scary snd ths ovr 2 5 vids in 143 mins when ur done press f6 nd ur crush's name wll appear on the screen n big letters ths is so scary cuz it actully wrks ths really wrks
I know that's right! I saw him perform in Detroit at the Fox Theatre's Pioneers of Hip-Hop. It featured him, Roxanne Shante, Biz Markie, Naughty By Nature, and 2 Live Crew. Out of all the acts i listed, he was the best one! You either had the parachute pants or you were doing the moves! For me, it was the moves! He really knew how to put on a show!
As a young kid I though Hammer was cool at the time. In retrospect he came along at a time when dancing and rapping was the standard. He was the only artist who guts to go after RUN DMC...LOL!!!
Wat u mean hammer was ok?....back then hammer was the shyt ya heard.he had talent and he knows how to dance his azz off,one of da best after michael jackson.
Hammer has revolutionized Hip Hop. He brought a creative flavor to it. And this what hip hop back then was all about, being different than others. Today, no one is being creative and that's unfortunate. Everybody sounds the same, kicking the same lyrics, and making the same videos. We have 30 beyonces , 24 Neos, and about 49 souldier boy :( Love you Hammer and thank you for your contribution.
I have much love of Hammer bcuz he broke himself trying to give back ....he had too much heart ...i guess bcuz it went so un-noticed. No matter what happened to him ....with money or with out it he did not let it break him. He is preacher and family man and still care about people as whole. No he is not a just worry about me and mine type of person. Love u Hammer in my book ur still a star shining bright and ur still rich to me.
it's sad.hammer got called a sellout cause of what he was doing...the same thing these rappers are doing today..are they sellout too? the word dont exsist in rap no more. all the rappers are sellouts
I've been saying that for about a decade now. All of hip hop owes Hammer an apology. Not only have so many rappers sold out, none of them are nearly as creative as Hammer. What song out right now, on the regular rotation of your local "blazin" hip hop/r and b station is as good as this? Fucking none. Maybe when Dre's shit comes out later this year. But right now? Nothing.
When you think about it, they really did put him in the mix.

the reason hammer went broke was because he was trying 2 help his friends and give back 2 his community. unlike now you dont see rappers giving people jobs like that hammer had so many dancers and him being a good hearted dude he ended being betrayed and broke all respect 2 hammer.

True and he was just plain wasteful and made bad finance decisions with the money he didn't give away. He spent tens of thousands of dollars on stuff like gold doorknobs and faucets in his house. Also, he bought some expensive race horses and tried to make it in the racing game.

@lbshizzle Sorry but that's bullshit. You don't blow $30 million just by giving people jobs. Hammer lived a lavish lifestyle that was beyond his means. His concert productions became very expensive while at the same time his record sales dropped like a rock.
He tried to blame the people around him, but Hammer was really to blame. He thought he was invincible. He was in denial when his music no longer sold. That's what killed him. Because he just kept spending like he was a big shot.

@lbshizzle buying a brand new car and leaving it in the hood for someone to take is just plain ole retarded. great music and a great person, just not very smart.

@lbshizzle Hammer's a good man, period. If you ever see him in interviews, it's like he can't believe how people abandoned him! Whatever, he hasn't done anything he should regret, helping is helping, and entertaining is entertaining, and he's the Mack.

I was lucky as a child to make money doing hair. I swear I spent most of it on this video paying my mother and father back for ordering it everyday all day during one summer on the "Juke Box." That was the BET for most kids now days. I LUV and still Luv and respect Hammer and what he did for the entertainment industry. Watch his new show he's still got IT!

I know that's right! I saw him perform in Detroit at the Fox Theatre's Pioneers of Hip-Hop. It featured him, Roxanne Shante, Biz Markie, Naughty By Nature, and 2 Live Crew. Out of all the acts i listed, he was the best one! You either had the parachute pants or you were doing the moves! For me, it was the moves! He really knew how to put on a show!

As a young kid I though Hammer was cool at the time. In retrospect he came along at a time when dancing and rapping was the standard. He was the only artist who guts to go after RUN DMC...LOL!!!

Hammer has revolutionized Hip Hop. He brought a creative flavor to it. And this what hip hop back then was all about, being different than others. Today, no one is being creative and that's unfortunate. Everybody sounds the same, kicking the same lyrics, and making the same videos. We have 30 beyonces , 24 Neos, and about 49 souldier boy :( Love you Hammer and thank you for your contribution.

I have much love of Hammer bcuz he broke himself trying to give back ....he had too much heart ...i guess bcuz it went so un-noticed. No matter what happened to him ....with money or with out it he did not let it break him. He is preacher and family man and still care about people as whole. No he is not a just worry about me and mine type of person. Love u Hammer in my book ur still a star shining bright and ur still rich to me.

it's sad.hammer got called a sellout cause of what he was doing...the same thing these rappers are doing today..are they sellout too? the word dont exsist in rap no more. all the rappers are sellouts
Wickedthtz 2 years ago 15
I've been saying that for about a decade now. All of hip hop owes Hammer an apology. Not only have so many rappers sold out, none of them are nearly as creative as Hammer. What song out right now, on the regular rotation of your local "blazin" hip hop/r and b station is as good as this? Fucking none. Maybe when Dre's shit comes out later this year. But right now? Nothing.
