It's so disrespectful.. everytime I saw a tribute this year I couldn't believe they left him out.. in this time he was selling more records than any hip hop artist.
No one and I mean NO ONE moved like The Hammer. He is one of the most entertaining people to ever hit the stage. Most of his critics are just jealous of his incredible talent and ability.
This man will always go down in history. He has such a giving heart, trying to give brothers and sister jobs and trying to stay positive made him take a deep fall. People criticize him but he will never be forgotten
People who were not there don't understand, there was NOTHING Like Hammer when he dropped. He got so big that he became corny. That is how big he became. He became so big that he crossed into a realm where he was corny. I can't explain it. But it was not that he was corny, he just crossed into a realm that no one had ever seen from a rapper and people just started to hate him. But no one who was there can deny that when he dropped, he rightfully took over the entire game. This song is still a favorite all-time.
He opened the 1991 American Music Awards, not the Billboard Music Awards but I know everything you're saying! That performance was incredible! The energy was on another level.
I just saw MC Hammer perform "Turn This Mutha Out" last Friday, Feb. 27, 2009 in Utah. It was an incredible concert. The best concert I have ever personally witnessed so far in my life. Thank you MC Hammer! You are the KING and you are a Champion. You are Unstoppable.
That move he does at 3:39 defies all principles of physics and has perplexed me for YEARS.. It's like what Morpheus said in The Matrix: "Some rules can be bent...while others can be broken." That's a baaaaaaad man.
This song was his best. Haven't seen this video is forever but it's clear he had moves. Rest of this album was good too. Wrongly persecuted by the hip-hop community back then for being a "crossover". Most every current hip-hop artist owes a debt of gratitude to MC Hammer for the audience they have today
Hammer! A dancing fool!- Seen him in concert, Omg, was on my feet all night-Lol. Years ago rap artists called him a "sellout" but he was doing back then what so many artist dreamed to do today. Sometimes he was even the first rap artist to do it-Commercials, cartoons, movies, even dolls(action figures), clothing! No other rap artist did all of this at the time. So he opened doors (indirectly)even for the ones who laughed at him. So I will always love Hammer. Some of these artists today are reaping the benefits of his ingenuity!!!-So thanks Hammer!!!
Annette Jenkins The irony is that some of the same ones that called him a sell out "sold out" themselves doing the EXACT same thing (Ice Cube for example with the movies, commercials, etc.). Hammer was no doubt the first crossoever rap star. When you are the first anything, sometimes you won't be appreciated until years later
662chillin True! I wrote that in another post. Alot of people today are still riding his coat tails-He opened the doors and the others just came pouring in afterwards. And yet some still disrespect him because of financial problems. But his ingenuity is what help got some of them where they are now.
I saw him perform this song live in concert. It was just a few weeks before he released "Can't Touch This" and blew up into a huge superstar. He was the last act in a concert with a bunch of other hip hop artists at the time. He and Kool Moe Dee were the most memorable
When MC took the stage, it was an event, not a shit talkin contest. He danced, moved and made you want to get up.... Real talent that not many can imulate....
Hammer will always be the best! If anyone was "keeping it real" it was Hammer. He kept it real by not forgetting where he came from, but also by giving jobs to many who no longer claim him as a friend. Stanley Burrel a.k.a. M.C. Hammer will always be the best! Thanks for the music.
MC Hammer should be included in the hip hop 50 years... he has contributed as much as anyone else.. he was not a sell out in my opinion... he was his own man with his own vision.. hip hop needs to respect that... I still love MC Hammer, and his music and those dance moves were on point...
I'm saying... Hammer was never a lyricist but staying relevant for almost 10 years in the rap game (or music biz) is an accomplishment. And I will ALWAYS respect Hammer for going broke for trying to help a lot of people from his hood by taking them on tour (even when a lot of them turned on him). Hardly any rappers do that today...
I remember when mc hammer first hit the mainstream he was huge!! And I,m from new zealand! We all tried to copy his dance moves" hell I even had a pair of his huge elastic waste pants!!! Great memories" and this song is up there with one of the all time best beats in hip hop history!!! Never gets old"✌
I Love MC Hammer! I Love his originality, his Great dancing & his showmanship! I lived in NYC when he 1st came out and I was one of the very few that Loved MC Hammer's music/dancing and still would support him today. You did Well, MC Hammer... From one of your biggest fans..... :-)
Thank you. There are alot of people who still love his music. When he performed in Brooklyn last summer everybody in the audience was singing along to his songs. I was a huge fan and I remember this kid from my church getting pissed and saying he should slap me for buying his Please Hammer Don't Hurt' Em tape. I still love his music and BET Needs to honor him.
I don't care what NO ONE says about MC Hammer....I loved him & he has a SOLID place in Hip Hop History! He broke records & barriers & at that time he did so many things that a rapper had never did!!! I was a big fan...had the patent leather shoes and the dookie pants... MC Hammer was the BOMB!!! He could dance & I will continue 2 listen 2 his music!! #GOHAMMER!
Much respect. . Hammer had the 90s on lock. Hammer did what most rapper wouldn't do today, put his boyz on pay roll w/him. U turn out , alot of concerts. Much respect ✊
I just made a comment on this. This generation does not know how he swung doors wide opend for "hip-hop" to be in welcomed in other countries. He was the cross over success. Period. He is the only one I know of that has sold platnium. Give him his props.
Hammer remains the best dancer til this very day,hands down.when i am upset about something or just down i hear this song and it just cheers me up everytime people just act like they forgot about him and i dont understand it
Gotta throw Heavy D in there! Heav wasnt as much show but for a big guy he could move and his delivery was always top notch DIDILY DIDILY DIDILY DEEEEE!!!
On this day in 1989 {June 17th} M.C.Hammer performed "Turn This Mutha Out" on the nationally syndicated television program, 'Soul Train'... At the time the song was at position #7 on Billboard's Hot Rap Singles chart, four weeks earlier it had peaked at #3 {for 2 weeks}... It reached #12 on Billboard's Hot Black Singles chart... Between 1988 and 1995 the Oakland, CA native had thirteen records on the Hot Rap Singles chart, nine made the Top 10 with his biggest hit being "U Can't Touch This", it peaked at #2* {for 2 weeks} in 1990... M.C. Hammer, born Stanley Kirk Burrell, celebrated his 57th birthday three months ago on March 30th, 2019... R.I.P Don Cornelius {1936 - 2012}... * The two weeks "U Can't Touch This" was at #2 on the Hot Rap Singles chart, the #1 record for both those weeks was "The Power" by Snap!...
Seriously Hammer you got to give Hammer Props. He brought hip hop mainstream. He has talent, vision, and he is smart. The only reason why he went bankrupt was because he tried helping so many of his friends. That is why he had a lot of dancers and such. Even after everything he was humble. Props to the hammer. You alll know if you grew up in the 90s you tried to dance like Hammer!
GREATEST dance routine in the history of hip hop without a doubt. I remember seeing this when it came out and thinking, how in the hell did he do those moves lol.
I'm about to see him perform at Cache Creek on May 2. He still rocks. He paved the way for a lot of peeps. He is part of Hip Hop and Music History like it or not. Go Hammer Go Hammer Go!
People forget that hammers early music with his 2 dj's b4 the band was hittin. Even though they sampled a lot it was the constant beats and breaks by his dj's that made his music move you. Then you add his incredible dancing and the background dancers it made for an incredible show. Something that is not seen today by hip hop or R&B fans.
Mc Hammer is a phenom. He is the pinnacle of the dancing emcee. What he was criticized for, back then,rappers are striving to do today. Hammer, the best to ever do it.
Happy 60th Birthday, Stanley Kirk Burrell, March 30, 1962. Oakland, CA 3 Grammy Awards, 8 American Music Awards, a People's Choice Award, an NAACP Image Awards, Billboard Diamond Award. MC Hammer is a living legend.. Many more Stanley Kirk..
This brings back thrills...I was a Promo Rep for Capitol back then...and watching the shows was so exciting...People would stand the whole show dance in the aisles ,,the whole place sweating...I knew we had made it to the big leauges when we were selling out cities like Ft. Wayne and Duluth 2-3 nights in a row...10-15 thousand people each night..some people got tickets to each show..Amazing
I remember this video the first time I seen it I said to myself when it came out this is fresh too def, Lol Hammer did his thing back in the day and made it happen you can't take that from him. Hammer is a true hip hop legend.
In my opinion,Hammer was the greatest DANCING rapper of all time......and he had some impressive lyrical skills too....again this is just my opinion.
FACTS
Word word word
I agree. What other rapper could even approach his dance skills?
I agree with your opinion 😊
You are spitting straight facts.
How can you celebrate 50 years of Hip Hop and not have this man on the stage?
It's so disrespectful.. everytime I saw a tribute this year I couldn't believe they left him out.. in this time he was selling more records than any hip hop artist.
True Dat
Because they were JEALOUS of Hammer!
He declined to go. There's a video of him saying so.
No for real
Hammer needs to be in the rock and roll hall of fame!!
Truth
HEADLINING! Because who is gonna follow him? 😅😅
truth
He isn't that's a crime
No one and I mean NO ONE moved like The Hammer. He is one of the most entertaining people to ever hit the stage. Most of his critics are just jealous of his incredible talent and ability.
This type of entertainment is needed
We dont give Hammer enough PROPS!!.... Hes definitely LEGENDARY to the game👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Hammer is an effing legend. One of the greatest entertainers to ever live.
Give MC Hammer His Star ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👑❤️Now He was the best !!!🙌🏿👏🏿🙏🏿
The GREATEST dancer I ever seen and that includes MIKE!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟
We need hammer back 🔥🔥🔥🔥
M.C. Hammer aka The Hardest Working Man In The Hip Hop Business.
Craig Davis amen
I never thought I'd say this but damn MC hammer was underappreciated.
No he wasnt. He was the first rapper. To get hated on for crossing over. And being successful thats. What happened
Militantreturns Thus he was under-appreciated...
Niggas said hammer was wack..... And so everyone said hammer was wack....... Silly culture
Been saying that for years
Deaf on the stage pumpin at the club. Hammer is an eagle and you a dove!!!
This version is STILL BUMPIN in 2023!!❤❤
This man will always go down in history. He has such a giving heart, trying to give brothers and sister jobs and trying to stay positive made him take a deep fall. People criticize him but he will never be forgotten
He unique
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
This song is a classic. MC Hammer will go down in history. His dance moves and wrap lyrics are phenomenal. I was in college when this came out.
U got damn RIGHT! 😀👍🏾
People who were not there don't understand, there was NOTHING Like Hammer when he dropped. He got so big that he became corny. That is how big he became. He became so big that he crossed into a realm where he was corny. I can't explain it. But it was not that he was corny, he just crossed into a realm that no one had ever seen from a rapper and people just started to hate him. But no one who was there can deny that when he dropped, he rightfully took over the entire game. This song is still a favorite all-time.
The comment is very well placed and equally important! 💪💪💪
To this day Hammer had the best live performance I have ever seen. 2 BIG EMCEE!
I remember when he was the opening act on the Billboard Music Awards. He killed it. I never felt chills like that since.
Still the greatest rap song of all time.
He opened the 1991 American Music Awards, not the Billboard Music Awards but I know everything you're saying! That performance was incredible! The energy was on another level.
This is still one of my favorite songs!!! Lol MC Hammer’s energy in this video is unmatched to this day ! IDC IDC IDC!
till this dayy!!!!
They don’t make it like this no more
I just saw MC Hammer perform "Turn This Mutha Out" last Friday, Feb. 27, 2009 in Utah. It was an incredible concert. The best concert I have ever personally witnessed so far in my life.
Thank you MC Hammer! You are the KING and you are a Champion. You are Unstoppable.
Nice
Man, you can't hear a MC Hammer song, and not start giggin.
Right
That move he does at 3:39 defies all principles of physics and has perplexed me for YEARS.. It's like what Morpheus said in The Matrix: "Some rules can be bent...while others can be broken." That's a baaaaaaad man.
Nashoba Lusa right before he did it the set up move before he broke into it out cold....
Hammer could dance his ASS off and Oaktown's 357 had ENergy. Nobody could beat Hammer dancing.
This song was his best. Haven't seen this video is forever but it's clear he had moves. Rest of this album was good too. Wrongly persecuted by the hip-hop community back then for being a "crossover". Most every current hip-hop artist owes a debt of gratitude to MC Hammer for the audience they have today
💯
THE JAMES,BROWN OF THE RAP GAME 2019
💯💯💯
I don't care what anyone says, he was cold! Also, when he first hit the parties jumped because there was no one like him.
Hammer! A dancing fool!- Seen him in concert, Omg, was on my feet all night-Lol. Years ago rap artists called him a "sellout" but he was doing back then what so many artist dreamed to do today. Sometimes he was even the first rap artist to do it-Commercials, cartoons, movies, even dolls(action figures), clothing! No other rap artist did all of this at the time. So he opened doors (indirectly)even for the ones who laughed at him. So I will always love Hammer. Some of these artists today are reaping the benefits of his ingenuity!!!-So thanks Hammer!!!
You're still #1 to me!!!
Annette Jenkins The irony is that some of the same ones that called him a sell out "sold out" themselves doing the EXACT same thing (Ice Cube for example with the movies, commercials, etc.).

662chillin True! I wrote that in another post. Alot of people today are still riding his coat tails-He opened the doors and the others just came pouring in afterwards. And yet some still disrespect him because of financial problems. But his ingenuity is what help got some of them where they are now.
People was hatin on Hammer jealousy is a mother cause everybody wanted to be or be like Hammer
Right
I saw him perform this song live in concert. It was just a few weeks before he released "Can't Touch This" and blew up into a huge superstar. He was the last act in a concert with a bunch of other hip hop artists at the time. He and Kool Moe Dee were the most memorable

I love all the videos back when Oaktown's 357 were still his dancers! Terrible T and Sweet L.D. always killed it!
what a entertainer,, simply gave his all!
It's official I'm using MC Hammer to get fit at 40!!!
MC Hammer should be included in the hip hop 50 years... he has contributed as much as anyone else.. he was not a sell out in my opinion... he was his own man with his own vision.. hip hop needs to respect that... I still love MC Hammer, and his music and those dance moves were on point...
One of his first major mainstream hits Turn This Mutha Out
I'm saying... Hammer was never a lyricist but staying relevant for almost 10 years in the rap game (or music biz) is an accomplishment. And I will ALWAYS respect Hammer for going broke for trying to help a lot of people from his hood by taking them on tour (even when a lot of them turned on him). Hardly any rappers do that today...
The 80s era was so badass.

my mom got us tickets in the last row of the arena and it was still the best concert I've ever seen.
Most rappers wouldn't do this in the 90's either.
De Shawn Edwards for real
The whole world loved Hammer until he made that Taco Bell commercial and dropped them toy dolls!!!
This is 1988 you ass...not the 90s
I just made a comment on this. This generation does not know how he swung doors wide opend for "hip-hop" to be in welcomed in other countries. He was the cross over success. Period. He is the only one I know of that has sold platnium. Give him his props.
Saw him ages ago and he was just super super talented, he was a straight up guy.

The footwork between 3:30-3:41 is out of this world...
IRON5 it’s amazing - even with the unfort camerawork that cuts off his feet
James Brown folk
GREATEST dance routine in the history of hip hop without a doubt. I remember seeing this when it came out and thinking, how in the hell did he do those moves lol.
@@dudeseriously57 I think he learned from the Godfather of Soul.

My favorite MC Hammer song...old school!
Oaktown's 357 killed it!!!
Mc Hammer is a phenom. He is the pinnacle of the dancing emcee. What he was criticized for, back then,rappers are striving to do today. Hammer, the best to ever do it.
Anybody saying they weren’t entertained by this guy in the early 90s straight lyin!
