MC Hammer - U Can't Touch This(Live @ Arsenio Hall)

[ruggid11]

I LOVE THE BASSLINE FUSION OF SUPERFREAK AND GIVE IT TO ME, BOTH BY RICK JAMES

[williambagnera]

I wish I was bumping this shit when it was hot, LMFAO

[termana1]

What a GREAT dancer!! i miss that kind of dance its so full of energy and fun

[lEMGl]

That was awesome!!

[sisd888]

hammer moves incredible

[zaditten]

this is so fucking sick

[kasedase]

I like the old lady clapping 2:04

[rexloc]

u kno after that train at the end he went back to the hotel and ran train on those bitches

[thaloh]

Damn, Hammer is fricken electrifying on stage

[MrMcstig]

am I the only 1 noticing that this guy dance + sings live when he performs ?

MJ never sang on live performes, cuz he had to dance -.-

[vika0194]

@MrMcstig he did, but after 1992 he stopped singing on many songs and lipsynched

[CartoonsAndGameShows]

Now this is some good rap.

[SamFreedom]

Gay

[batmanlooksgood]

Before Billy Blanks made Tae Bo, he use to exercise to Hammer

[calixa]

shiny gold shitcatchers and matching sport coat, who knew?

[jossy2112]

*must have been the fittest dude

[jossy2112]

Damn. This dude had lots of energy. To rap and dance, jump around like that, let a lone one song, but a whole concert. He must have the fittest dude ever.

I wonder if he would have stayed successful in this time, with this same kind of music

[hookerag]

Damn no wonder Hammer went broke, dude had like 50 people on stage with him!

[MCWAY1]

@hookerag 50? That's light for Hammer. The irony of it all is that, for all the talk that he was a "sellout", Hammer paid these folk from the Oaktown, taking them out of the hood.

With that said, how many people do you need to sing," OOOOO, OOOOO, OOOOOO, OOOOO, OOOOOOOO!!!!"?

Maybe it's just me; but it seems Hammer had a thing for redbones. Notice that here, and other live performances, the light-skinned sisters are on stage with him; the dark-skinned ones are standing on the podium.

[chungafrescor]

Es un genio. Con ese ritmo levanta a un muerto.

[tdial777]

Please Hammer Don't hurt em, I feel sorry for the people that never saw Hammer live in concert, one of the best!!!

[jehrising]

this has to be the song with the most breakdowns ever

[LordJimmie]

HI IM JIMMIE

I JUST DID A DANICNG VIDEO TO

MC HAMMER STOP CANT TOUCH THIS

AND ES IT GETS INTENSE

HOPE YOU GUYS LIKE IT :)

[jacecrossiscool]

Nice slideshow

[EJ160E]

LA was devastated by the Bay that night

[PrivatestockINC]

This was the shit...still is. Wish I had a cleaner version. Oaktown in the house baby

[jindwad]

He still gets free tacos @ taco bell

[bun223]

man he was the SHIT!!!!

[omganotherun]

What has it come to that modern rappers make MC Hammer look good and infinitely more worthy of our respect?

[biz720]

Hammer is what Diddy wishes he was.

[SuperLloyd1979]

Always be part of my Childhood memories..!

[bosanac333]

I llike this version of it better than the music video virsion.

[gache95]

He's A LEGEND !

[thefamoussinger101]

What the fuck it doesn't even start at the beginning

[steveconn]

The superfreak sample is missing. Wonder if Rick James sued him by this time.

[motorock]

say what you want about Hammer, but he gave you your money's worth. Hell of a entertainer!

[MrSollicitationis]

Crimen Sollicitationis

[HakuchouG6]

*moving cursor to dislike button* i i i i i can't touch it!!

[RobinSaville]

My dad got to meet him for FREE! He also did some music videos with him.

[Clutch3Ball]

Lots of energy

[thediva3BC]

Umm let's be real. None of us loved hammer because he was the best rapper who ever loved (not by a long shot)so I don't think other rappers need to take note as the poster suggests. But he could dance his behind off. When his videos hit everyone was copying him and his dance crew *hat* night at the club.

[schraubergott96]

Da kann man ja die fraps zählen. xD

[Fredisan]

party song Nr. 1

[swvcat1]

The girl at 2:26 that was da shit move back then.

[mvandeven]

what is that SHIT they have those girls dressed in? i've never seen anything so un-sexy on a woman.

[sadler57]

thats what im talking about. No lip syncing and damn good dance moves. Nice outfit, btw

[MCWAY1]

Hammer was always better LIVE, than he was on the radio.

But, now you see partially why he lost so much money. HOW MANY BACKUP DANCERS and singers do you need?

People called Hammer a "sellout"; but he broke his neck (and his wallet), trying to give back to the 'hood by taking darn near every kid and gal in spandex from Oaktwon, who could dance, to go on tour with him.

[joceeco]

hammer was the best entertainer!!!

[fixlepix]

I was there the day of that taping in the audience, NEVER saw anything like that before in my life, it was awesome!

[LinikinParkGirl]

hate it when I hang out with MC Hammer & he doesn't let me touch anything :D

[lovejonesFun]

i remember this, i seen it. i wish could seem MC hammer back them. i still love his songs. good performs on arsenio hall

[Mandinko23]

[terry0736]

Arsenio Hall and MC Hmmer Rules

[LittleSweety]

This song was 20 years ago no.10 in the world charts

[jagwasher]

Brilliant performer

[MagnusRytterstam]

Chuck Norris could touch it

[WestVirginiaRebel]

@MagnusRytterstam Chuck Norris wouldn't touch it. He would give it a roundhouse kick to the face. : )

[TheGemini90]

@MagnusRytterstam no he couldn't.

[robloxguggi]

@MagnusRytterstam Nope.

[LittleSweety]

This song was 20 years ago no.4 in the world charts

[DopeJointsVol1]

I GOT THAT SweET WhITe SuGaR CanE CaNdY!

Check my account for DOPE music…

I KnOw YoU WaNt SoME!!

[Kingcat11]

Just saw him in Louisville. Fantastic show. He's definitely TOO LEGIT TO QUIT!

[NaYarB04]

FAT JEANS OWN THE SKINNY JEANS ANY DAY!!

[hightek669]

Can anyone tell me why I am unable to view the music video to "U Can't Touch This" here on YouTube? I live in the United States and am unable to view the video. What's this shit about "This video contains content from EMI. It is no longer available in your country." What in the hell does that mean?! Could someone please tell me?!

[Skeeterhaxxorz]

I just came all over my computer screen. It really is hammer time.

[SugarCandyCherryKiss]

@tptho7m Thank YOU For Sharing T ) Fantastic Video And Song Always Was And Always Will Be Excellent !!!!

[darrylhaynes]

he lost all that money...

[shellrob12]

Can someone air the video in its true form without all the animation,its doing an injustice to his moves.

[fenixmaker]

nice show

[killabee101]

please hammer dont hurt us!

[mexicanmex]

i just ran into mc hammer at the local grocery tore in tracy california he looks preety much the same , he was buying alcohol

[bladeswiper20]

damn man he is actually better than michael jackson if it comes to his style of dancing

[jksfive]

wheres oaktown 357 before he only had the three of them as dancers but now theres like a hundred people lol

[dsmjrc]

I remember begging my mom to stay up late to watch this episode. He always gave a good show.

[shlyanth]

Hammer tried to help a lot of people in his corner and they screwed him over. He was a real good artist who could have went much farther than what he did had he gotten the respect that he deserved back then.

[frankwhite432]

@shlyanth thats a life lesson for ppl like us who see that. TRUST NO ONE

[Illkiddbluez]

arsenio was a mc hammer dick ridin bitch and dissed de la soul callin em hippies and shit.

[Britekno1]

STOP!

[iveshitmypants]

hammer time

[JGC1010]

DAYUM !!!!!!!

[DJDILLY09]

[afghandonkey]

E=MC HAMMER

[jelloisyumm]

\O/ l / \ wewt mc hammer

[PhilK1231]

Superb dancer. What ever happened to him ?

[slice39]

Hammer gave a lot of people jobs, back in the day. There's about a hundred people backing him up on that stage.

[sharpasabowlingball]

Yo! This is HYPE!

[goosebumpsfanxxx]

\0/ BREAK IT DOWN!!!  |

/ \

[PaigeStanleyy]

ohh yes he is

[mcalis1980]

People now try to hate on Hammer...but he was literally the James Brown for HIp Hop...that was his premise....he sold millions...so he obviously was not corney back in the day....

[mcalis1980]

Hammer was the hotness back in the day!!!

[XDSunflowerMs]

he can DANCEEEE!

[mikecollinsRR]

MC Hammer was great. And he still is. I heard him on a local radio station here in Perth, Western Australia promoting X Box or similar. Very humble. Very entertaining and a good sport with the DJ's

[moquay1]

THIS SONG IS A CLASSIC!!!!

[Lynetta79]

Hammer is a bad man, this is how he really is I saw him live on his 2 legit 2 quit tour. He has so much going on stage its exhausting but very entertaining.

[69HELLBOY69]

Not only did he Steal his one hit wonder song, he's spent the last 30 years riding it out, how bout writing a new song? Obviously he's not a real musician, KUDOS to RICK JAMES... BITCH!

[SLYFOX944]

He didn't steal rick james beats,the producers sample rick james track,the first rap song "rappers delight",was sampled off an R&B groove called "good times" b4 rap was born.....some of hiphop music was use to sample tunes from r&b songs.....I know hiphop....hammer ws the shit back then.

[theheathen07]

usually has same beat as super freak but he stilled killed it!

[amusia111]

Has anyone noticed that this first televised version of "You Can't Touch This" does not have the bass line taken from "Super Freak?" It's not there! I was amazed when I saw this broadcast back then - amazed. I guess Rick James and Hammer's lawyers hadn't come to terms yet, and they told Hammer he couldn't use the bass line on Arsenio Hall! And he just basically kills it anyway!

[nWoaLi]

opooo p o p o p op o op o p

cannot touch this enemy :d

[rodman10123]

great singer,great dancer......oh man mc hammer was realy great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[stotts75]

Hammer, Don't Hurt EM!

...unless you have to of course. word..

[jarbon5]

MC hammer on Arsenio, that used to be the event that everyone had to see. I remember that the family used to everything in order to see this and all the kids would talk about it at school the next day. Man, I miss those days:(

[bodhidakotaruse]

all hail king of rap MC hammer

[shifragri]

Hammer was and is a showman in the truest sense of the word. The other rappers were jealous of his success at the time, but look now they all do what Hammer did.

[msss22]

I'm personally very happy for him, seeing that he's on his way back for the better. I don't miss his show each Sunday night on A&E.

[starlett077]

he IS around! he has a REGULAR gig n vegas! DANG, u ppl know EVERYTHING!!!

[Ntara11]

great dancer but why is the beat so different

[ZellCendo]

It's a little upsettin' that he's not around anymore but i might go down see if i can see his church choir XD coz he left his carrear to go back to his church XD Awesome

[fruityblack]

I love him to Death!!! I think he wore those pants because I notice he has a big package!!! lOL anybody remember the Pumps and a bumb video??? he is dancing in a speedo!!! I love him so much

[glenn8578]

Wow, still entertaining after all these years. I was a Hammer fan way back then and I am a Hammer fan to this day.  Extra point to hammer for keeping his vow to his wife and points to her for hanging in there when the going got tough.

[Shiftyeyes516]

Damn - This was an hype perfromance!

[Bowyerma]

DONT TAZE ME BRO

[trailbikerharo]

hahahahahahaha you douche bags who like this moron. hes obviously comming back cause hes broke. just like his repeating record skippin peice of crap of a song. this is the furthest away from music.

[dburse66]

He may be broke now and certainly was before but you can't deny his talent. What is he supposed to do, sit around and try to collect welfare? Why if you don't like his music, are you wasting your time commenting and watching his performances? You should be watching performances of acts that you like.

[trailbikerharo]

i wanted to see if he sounded the same live as he does on cd or tape in his case cause he's so old. but maybe i shouldnt have commented negatively so fans like you dont get offended. must of been in a bad mood.

[timeswasting]

He went broke because he surrounded himself with a bunch of phoney fake friends who took advantage him. His entourage was ENORMOUS!!

[BluIceWolf]

uh, who asked your opinion?

[LiveCanBeHard]

BlulceWolf, maybe you diddn't see, but don't say :Who asked your opiniion' cause he is where it goes about u moron

[ausetkmt]

This Man is STILL Working It JUST LIKE THIS.

"Please HAMMA HURT EM, QUICK"

[HS32153]

Hammer is one the best entertainers of all-time. This is true entertainment, he put on a good show that can't be denied.

[LivingIn1969]

MC HAMMER= ONE HIT WONDER i have no idea why he is so respected, he's bullshit

[RinbowGlued]

because he is a good dancer who had a universal hit that every artist dreams of, and the song is still played and he is still making money off of it. and did i mention he can fuckin dance!

[Zerocyde]

A. He wasn't a one hit wonder, he had a few hits.

B. He's not respected, what the fuck are you talking about? The dude was a goofy joke. What weird ass country do you live in where MC Hammer is considered a valid artist and not just a silly act from the 90's that you watch on youtube videos to laugh at with your fiends?

[LivingIn1969]

fuck dude, kids 2day, they look at a hit song like this, and they like it so they assume the artist is good and they obviously know nothing about it, all teens want nowadays is their fuckin club music, they dont care to research anything. wtv i was just ranting...

[dburse66]

The man had plenty of hits other than this and gave GREAT shows. And through all his fame he still stayed with his wife!

[jflinn210]

Most rap artists now are all about production; live, they suck. Their vocals are muddy, disjointed and lack the snap of the studio.

[Dre0]

plz hammer dnt hurt em

luv dat saying

[Hulk2k6]

PLEASE HAMMER, DON'T HURT 'EM!

Now that's a catchy chant!

[bushbush2]

crazy dancing lol

[BloodHuman3]

Shut up.

[PuLse285]

shut it urself.. little fagget :/

[blakhawk636]

this song is beast

[MadyTPenguinLover]

can touch penguins oh no cant touch them

[georock123]

Lies.

[pandamj25]

rick james didnt really invent this beat...a band in germany invented it..then rick james used it a few years later,nd then mc hammer used it so rick james is sorta a copycat 2...either way i like both artists very much.....

[AmericanEvita]

For his music video in 1990 MC Hammer used the beat that Rick James used for the 1981 song "Superfreak"....what a copycat...he could have used the beat used here .."ooh oh oh oh ooo"...instead of the beat invented by Rick James

[frankwhite432]

idiot thats what rap is about sampling other genres

[goldenivy12]

druggy

[JohnGominator]

Vanilla ice cant touch Hammer

[sillyboydozza]

CALLAN TRIES TO WANK OF......... BUT HE JUST CANT WITH HIS tiny little PENIS!!!!!!

[thecallan0007]

JEDS A FUKING WANKER!!!!!!!!!

[iamDMAS]

If I had to describe this video in 3 short words, it would be

"Can't Touch This"

[ikkleleli]

luv the baggy pantz, so siik! lol ma mom nd unkle can dance lyk dat nd dance ppl off the floor dancin lyk mc hammer! so siik lmao! x

[Blast4NonE]

Very gay

[MoodyZoe]

arsenio hall was notorious for NOT letting artists lip sync on his show. So all this was legit!!!

[morishitabrian]

LOL this guy is a pimp!!!! mad props for this performance

[Nachbarn95]

he's singing on playback and the vid confirms it. you just cant sing without exhaust yourself at least one time

OR

he's REALLY good.

Bravo, but I'm still convinces that he doesn't realy sing when he's dancing.

??? :/

[1of10justmen]

that was damn good

he was in good shape to be able to dance and sing and not lose his breath

[GGaHTandTTFAF]

Chuck Norris can touch MC Hammer.

[tsmith01220]

this is fresh. the song has melody and he isn't lip syncing.

this guy had more talent in his finger then 2 pack had in his life

[juliosnap]

*tupac :P

[curtique]

diss whatever...hammer killed in the days..try nowadays to find a rapper with a tighter show than this at the time....won't happen...hammer hurt 'em!!

[zendeman]

only your mother can touch mc hammer

[bluemousedesign]

hes a great singer

[lenapano]

wow what a good singer

MC Hammer was the James Brown of early hip-hop.
