Man you had to have been in elementary, middle, high school in the 80's 90's to fully understand MC Hammer and how he, Janet, & Michael changed the music video game and the world of DANCE!!!
Thats what I've been telling people. I've never cared about his disparities like how they made a mockery of back then. And then he kept going and defied the odds up to 2009. His only problem was that people rather hear fake millionaire rappers who are always talking about killing, drugs, baby mamas, child support and bitch bitch bitch. And yes, even I once fell under the spell that causes the hood to self destruct. I'm 42 now and I remember when I was 28, I started to despise rappers that rapped under empires like Cash Money Ruthless, Bad Boyz and No Limit. There was some good out of them, but not enough. This is one of the reasons why Micheal Jordan was accused of hating rap music. Micheal Jackson is indeed the King of Music all together, but Hammer do deserve more. I occasionally revisit some of the old rap songs back then because they was a part of my past, but I refuse to glorify them.
Just cause a song says its 10 ears old on UA-cam doesn't mean it's 10 years old I think this song is about 25 years old or more. This is a much friendlier comment stop then the top one. ❤
You never lied to this day. I don't know how he does it, and I can dance. Try to match it, but I never came close to it 😅 he definitely was given this gift 🎁 and proved it to the world 🌎 to share it God make things happen in our lives for a reason to live it and to see it 😇🫠🤗🙏🏻
yeah too many "never did anything never helped anyone ," jokers always laughing at how hammer went down, dont remember the dozens he gave jobs to and opened opportunities to dancers and costume makers, singers and other creative talents, jealousy aint green, its all too often excessively black !!
I pity anyone who wasn't in high school when Hammer got big because he made every school dance into a superstar music video. Kids who couldn't dance, now they could dance, even yours truly. That was the super power and magic of the moment that was MC Hammer.
Part of my youth right here. Can we also talk about the pull he had to get everyone to do cameos in this video. I mean James Brown alone is beyond awesome!!! ✌️L✌️Q.
I feel sorry for y'all who didn't get to experience this era live. We had so much FUN! You can tell Hammer was having fun doing what he did. Truly a legend and this will go down as one of the dopest videos of all time! MC Hammer changed the game and he danced like no other
Yah, its no wonder kids today hate everything, want to "tear down the system" change their gender. The 80s and 90s were amazing. A much simpler time, where you would wait in line at Tower Records to get the latest album on Tuesday, and spend Friday night watching the MTV countdown.
We are at the point of no return. At one time, I laid these debts on NWA and all other rappers that tore down the barriers in the industry. Over time, I realized that they actually innovated the industry...Re-invented it. After that, rap was one thing, but R and B became the main attraction up until 1999 when No Limit and Cash Money became the main event gibing Bad Boys and Ruthless some major competition. After the year 2000, the industry flourished, but at the same time, lyrics began to be a bit too real and not to mention, misleading. The one thing I didn't appreciate was the fact that we began to glorify the image of African Americans going to jail and dying in the streets from beef and petite disagreement to the point where we truly believe that this is the way it is supposed to be. The music is entertaining, but I'm here to remind us that life isn't all about drugs, pussy and alcohol. And if you are in your 40s and 50s like me and still acting like you are 10-25 years old, you need to grow the fuck up and get a grip of your communities before they are completely obliterated at our own hands.
MC Hammer was and is nothing but the truth. He definitely kept it clean and respectable and they couldn't handle that. He didn't need the gangster style. He had a style of his own. Do it again MC Hammer. I know you can. Love lyou MC HAMMER.
To everyone else who was born and brought up in the 80’s to 90’s will truly appreciate this. I’ll tell you that when big movies and big songs came out the world would stop. lines around the block would form and we didn’t even mind waiting as everyone waited joyfully. So much appreciation and excitement. It was a cool time in my life.
This music video is phenomenal: the choreography, the musicians, the back up singers, the message, the artistry, the inclusivity, the spectacle, the descending from the rafters encompassed the theatrical. Thus, Hammer and his team had it all before everyone. Yes, God gave him a talent that he shared with all, and Hammer knew when it was tim to exit the stage! Oo-oop!
Hammer and C&C Factory were the real deal. Nothing compares to the 90s when it comes to clean, hard hitting and danceable tunes. We were alive when it happened, and no generation may enjoy this better than we did.
Hammer was killing it back in the day. This video is still amazing to watch after all these years. I get exhausted just watching him dance. He was so big all these athletes and stars were happy to be in this video.
I've never seen a human being so full of energy all-in-one night on stage while dancing/rapping and keeping the pace.He needs to put that in a bottle and sell it.
@@Steve-mx6lz fuck yeah. We was spoiled as hell. The other day I was listening to some "new school" cat. My cousin was like what you think? I was like well he ain't no LL, Big L, Big Pun, etc. He was like 🙄 brah nobody is going to be that ever again. You need to dial it down. I was like 😂 why? Lol
On dirait que c'est comme dans Blacked avex les x x tellement c'est remplis d'allusions à certains moment les americains ça a l'air mega chaud les us forever
Bro this is some MJ level production and choreography, how hammer was ever considered a ''joke" is beyond me. Bro had ENERGYYY. They need to bring this level of effort back to videos
This was actually supposed to be an orchestrated back and forth between him and Michael Jackson with James Brown as the mediator. But Michael's child molestation allegations came and it never happened. The collaboration between the 2 of them would've been epic!
I met him several years back at his son's football game. We were towing a float around the field with our tow truck and my husband told him I was his biggest fan and he stopped what he was doing and came over and signed an autograph for me. He was such a nice and wonderful man. I felt like I was back in highschool and I met my idol. I saw him at an awards show with Sai doing can't touch this and Gangnam style. All I can say was that man hasn't lost a beat. He's still got it. That was a great day for me 🫶 May God always bless you!
THIS BROTHER WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING...HE DANCED WITH PASSION-POWER-SOUL-HEART-DIGNITY WITH A FURY THAT WAS JUST UNBELIEVABLE...SOO MUCH ENERGY--I LOVED HIS ENERGY AND PASSION...FOR ''THE DANCE''...HIS DANCING WAS VERY TRIBAL AND REALISTIC...MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU IN ALL YOU DO...OAKTOWN LIKE THE DEE!
Hammer was legendary back then! The energy he put into his performances is unmatched in today's rap performances. Who today brings that much energy and joy to their performances? Everyone is so dark and vulgar. Different times back then and better too in many ways starting with MC Hammer!
One of the best things about his shows was that he brought a great message that you didn't need to be vulgar in your lyrics to be huge back then. He kept it clean in his lyrics and his shows.
I prefer '80s rap over today's music. MC Hammer is still my favorite. I still remember watching the season finale of "Dancing With The Stars" and retired football player Emmet Smith and his partner, professional dancer Sheryl Burke were dressed like MC Hammer and danced to his rap "U Can't Touch This". At the end, they won. They did an amazing job.
@@chiefhowlingwolfhannibal7360 Clean Rap, not today's Bullshit where it is all rapping about drugs, money, guns & degrading women anyway possible, Hammer's Rap was clean, responsible Parents or adults could let kids listen to it !! Sadly today ( so called parents) or irresponsible adults are letting kids listen to this Gangster Rap, 4-7 yr old kids singing along to all the kill, drug, guns, money, Fu$k & suck lyrics , WAFJ shit like this molds kids to the actions, decisions in Life, ( MLK said it best) judge a person by content of their character not by the color of their skin , Now Time to listen to some HAMMER TIME
God will always give you what you need when you need it. My husband died in October of 2019, and I was sitting here crying and wondering if I needed to go on...somehow I found my way to this song. My husband always loved this song. I feel like it was his way of telling me I'm "Too legit to quit." I miss my baby.
2021! I saw him in concert in 1992! Best, most exciting show ever! I was, am and always will be a HAMMER fan! Everybody had their clothes on, nobody was talking about sex, money, drugs, alcohol and everybody was really loving him!
I went to his House Party Concert here in Houston summer 2019. Dougie E Fresh. Kid n Play. Hammer. The man outdanced me and several thousand other 40-somethings. Best money spent on a concert The man hasn't lost A STEP.
2024 there is no hip hop without the hammer, his dress trends, dance styles, and top tier energy. He out performed them all in his day and had us all wearing parachute pants and pantent leather lace up that you could full body dance in. If you can dance like this you're the ish forever. No one can ever take that from you. Micheal Jackson, Kool Moe Dee, and LL COOL J were his biggest haters and rivals. This is actually a diss record, like others in his catalog. They was sweating the hammer tough.
Not gonna lie. I wish more hiphop focused on dance. The beautiful, cathartic, act of dancing. There's so much expression in that. We need more of that.
The music today is too slow. In all genres, society has become dull and desensitized. When you stop dancing, you stop living life! Hip Hop, Rap, Soul, R&B, Rock and Pop is meant to be danced to. Gen Z are singing a lot of weak ballads about nothing in particular, they don't stand for love or humanity...
And the Black power and proudness in that video, Hammer and his dancers made specific stances and movements on purpose, to show the strength and versatility of Black people. Fantastic image for young Black kids.
I honestly love your posts and always enjoy reading them in my lonely spare time. I'm so sorry I invaded your privacy, but I'd love to be friends with someone who could share such sensitive post content, which means you're a woman of integrity. I wanted to add you but sending you a friend request without your consent is inappropriate because I'm a public figure and it wouldn't take much either, I'd appreciate it if you send me a friend request now so we can be friends and text better here on UA-cam❤❤
Hammer was a Straight G!!! First hip hop artist to go DIAMOND!!! Think about that. People don't realize his impact unless you lived through it. Broke down doors for artists today in so many ways. Hammer didn't need to pretend to be hard because he was a tough dude on the REAL!!! People who put him down can go straight to you know where!!!
This is the ULTIMATE MC Hammer song and video of all time! He is still 2 LEGiT 2 QUIT, even as a preacher now! I can still jam to this in 2018! GO HAMMER! GO HAMMER!!
We had no idea we were living through an artistic Golden Age of Black culture, dance, and music. I miss this era so much, and I admit I took it for granted at the time.
This man AND his dancers had the tightest moves in the game!!! They did the damn thang!!! I miss this type of high energy, in sync dancing. AMAZING, AMAZING, AHHHHMMMAAAZZIINNGGG!!!
He brought a bunch of fans on stage to dance at his concert last night and I was one of them. Even though he is almost 60 he had them moves like he was 20!!!
*When we were kids. "Our parents just* *don't understand this music"* *Now as parents. "Kids just don't* *understand this music"* *if you're 25 and under listening to this* *I salute you 🙌*
Weekends in the late 80’s-90’s: FRIDAY: AFTERNOON: After school you either do your homework as soon as you get home from school (or straight up lie saying it’s done/you don’t have any). Go outside to ride bikes, go to the friend’s house with the pool, the trampoline, or bball court. Whatever you were doing, you just better be home by the time the street lights came on! EVENING:Take your bath/shower, Dad gets home from work, and Friday was pizza night. Then we’d gather in the living room together- parents and siblings- with the TGIF lineup kicking off on ABC from 8p-10p. Followed by the news which marked our bedtime. SATURDAY: MORNING: Up at the buttcrack of dawn with a bowl of cereal hoping you were the lucky sibling who found the toy in the box. You’re up so early that the only thing on tv was Home Shopping Network, random Infomercials, and Bob Villa doing home renovations. 😂 Then the cartoons come on starting at 8a. When the rest of my siblings got up, we’d all use our two hour video game limit to play Sonic on Sega Genesis together. Then Mom took us to the library where we’d each check out two books… One that our parents picked for us (that we’d have to read and do a book report for Mom and Pop to read) and the other book we could choose for ourselves. AFTERNOON: Get home from the library and scatter. From cleaning and other chores, hanging out with friends, going out together as a family, going to each other’s activities like sports, etc. Hit Blockbuster Video and pick a movie (if/when ALL 5 of us had our chores done AND had a good week in school… no detentions, schoolwork done, and nothing less than a B+ on quizzes and tests… which was added pressure in school because you didn’t wanna be the sibling who ruined it for everyone else). And one of my favorite Saturday afternoon memories: Watching Kung Fu Theater just my Dad and me- while my Mom and sisters would be watching Lifetime Movies. PREVENING (the period between afternoon and night from around 5p-8p): Pops would give me a haircut, Mom and sisters did each other’s hair, and we’d all have to pick out our clothes and iron them so they were ready for church. And Saturdays, we’d have homemade cheesesteaks or hoagies… each making them how we liked them. (Fridays and Saturdays were the only nights Mom didn’t cook big homemade meals). EVENING: Unlike the TGIF lineup that the whole family would watch together, Saturday nights were just us siblings tuning in to SNICK at 8pm. Rug rags, Doug, All That, Are You Afraid of the Dark, Pete & Pete, Clarissa Explains it All, Keenan and Kel, etc. Just like TGIF, though, the lineup changed from time to time. My sisters watched until 10pm bedtime. Me? I was always a little punk, so Are You Afraid of the Dark wasn’t for me at the time.😂 SUNDAY: MORNING: Church, of course! Sunday School 10am-11am. And regular service from 11:30am-1pm. AFTERNOON: Get home from church, change clothes, then we’d get a head start on our library books (the reports being due Friday morning. Dad left for work at 4:30am everyday, so we’d have to leave the reports on the counter where he’d leave our lunch money before heading to school. He’d read them before going to work then leave them for Mom to grade). We’d be doing that until dinner was ready. Just like every other day, we ate dinner… TOGETHER… in the dining… at the dinner table. Then, you didn’t just eat, get up, and leave. When everyone finished eating, Pops would ask each of us about the week, good and bad. Then he’d ask about the upcoming week. I hated it at the time! All of our friends had tvs in the bed rooms and got to eat whenever and wherever they wanted to! They could watch tv and everything! But I realized as an adult that while I was wishing I was in their shoes, they were wishing to be in mine! They got all the toys, clothes, video games, everything! When I had to rush home with the streetlights coming on while they could stay out late and go do whatever they wanted to do, I resented having parents that forced us to eat together, wouldn’t allow us to go be at friends’ houses whose parent/ parents weren’t home leaving them/us unsupervised. In school, we ALWAYS had to sit in class on Monday hearing the stories about all the big fun we missed out on not being there! And as an 11+ year old kid, it SUPER sucks to be the only one on the outside of an inside joke! LoL! But, I digress. SUNDAY EVENING: After dinner, we’d get our school supplies packed and our clothes ready for school. Then it’s chill mode. By then, it’s 5:30p/6p. We’d play a board game or something together and/or gather around the tv to wind down. Pop in the movie we rented from Blockbuster (when movies were 75-90 minutes long) and end with shows like America’s Funniest Home Videos and other Sunday Night family stuff. We weren’t allowed to watch the Simpsons or In Libing Color because our parents didn’t play that stuff AT ALL! The moment profanity or sexual innuendo hit the screen, it’s game over for that show! LoL. To end the night , we knew it was bedtime when boring a$$ 20/20 came on. I know… I know. The length of this comment is absolutely outrageous to the social media generation. But hey, what’s to be expected from a guy whose parents made him read books and turn in book reports every week?! Oh, and… That wasn’t a rare, one time type of thing, either. Neither were we homeschooled! And I’m not sure what’s worse… Having to do that ON TOP OF our actual classwork during the school year… Or having to do it over spring break and summer vacation. What do you fine ladies and gentlemen think?
On dirait que c'est comme dans Blacked avex les x x tellement c'est remplis d'allusions à certains moment les americains ça a l'air mega chaud les us forever
A video like this nowadays would cost hundreds of millions! This video and Michael Jackson’s Remeber The Time were mini movies back then. Michael and Hammer literally interrupted prime time television to premiere their videos! Had to be alive then to understand the magnitude of that…Epic is an understatement!
Michael Jackson and Madonna were the originals and the ones who changed the music video industry and the rest follow. Way before this video and Remember The Time there was "THRILLER", arguably the greatest music video ever.
@@fabiennefertiti3017 Agreed…the main point I was making overall was that back then those type artist took over prime time television just to premiere their videos. Each of them had ground breaking videos respectfully. No artist today has that kinda power nor are record labels spending that kinda money just for a video. It was a great time be alive musically.
@@fabiennefertiti3017 I'd say Michael and his sister Janet were the originals who changed the music video industry and innovators. Madonna had her thing too but she tended to follow trends more than set them.
Joel Garcia No. Even MJ had small set of moves. Hammer was faster and had a variety of moves. Try dancing to both their dance steps and you will know yourself which one was more taxing and difficult.
Patrick Randall He never rose above MJ when it came to dances! Really and his 3 year rise ended when he challenged MJ faded like butter on a hot griddle
You think I'm joking. I was dancing to this song and later that night it felt like Freddy Krueger and Edward Scissorhands were both taking turns slicing my shins down the front. plus both knees felt as if there wasn't any cartilage, just bone.
Damn Hammer was the sh** in the 90’s! I sure do wish I could rewind time. I member living in this neighborhood where all my friends lived. We would have birthday parties every year and our cousins and friends would come over and we would be dancing to this song. Man good ole days. We lived in that neighborhood for 13 yrs. I miss it sooooo much😩😩😩😩 iam now 42 lol! Memories I will forever hold.
WOW, I forgot how many legends and entertainers were in this video. That shows how much of the wave he was at that time. He was definitely legit at that time. He even tried Mike a little.
My 21, 19 and 14 year old sons appreciate the goodness that is Hammer. The 19 year old said "wow I wish music was this hype now. You got lucky and had good music while we are stuck with trash". I know son...I know lol
One of the best dance performer there is and he needs his flowers while he’s still here today and he needs a half time show and more acknowledgments as of today because I still blasts his music as I listen to it today…Can’t touch this, 2 Legit to quit, Adam’s family and more
Hammer was never the best rapper but he sure was great entertainer, dancer and had a entrepreneur spirit about him. He employed his own ppl and was always positive in his music. Hammer your were the man and nuff respect to ya!
caught the 2legit tour all those years ago. Hammer wasn't much of a rapper..., but he was....and is the most energetic presence that I have ever seen on stage to this day. Hammer did something no one else did at the time....., he brought athleticism to dance. Haven't seen anything like it since.
His rapping here isn't that bad. He tried to go the hardcore rapper route but it just wasn't him. He just wanted to make music that was fun but folded under the pressure of the music industry's demands.
The amount of sheer CHOREOGRAPHY that's gone into this is mind-boggling!
Cinematography as well
Too Legit, 2QuiT.......So Right!!!
Facts!!!
Amazing
Right

shivers right???
yes she did
Those were the days. Girls were girls and Rappers had talent!😂
Fosho, I think she put major emphasis on the entire song it's self.
Don't care who says what. Hammer is a LEGEND whose contribution to black urban popular culture is still felt today.
Thank you.
Facts 💯🔥
You just can't touch that
yeah too many "never did anything never helped anyone ," jokers always laughing at how hammer went down, dont remember the dozens he gave jobs to and opened opportunities to dancers and costume makers, singers and other creative talents, jealousy aint green, its all too often excessively black !!
In deed
WHEN IT CAME TO DANCING AND RAPPING AT THE SAME TIME, THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANYBODY BETTER IN HISTORY! MC HAMMER WAS A MONSTER OF THE GENRE!!
TRUE THAT WORDS UP..🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
you can see the influence he had on rappers like mac dre. the thizz dance stole alot of hammers moves.
It was exauuuusting at the club gotta tell ya! 😂 We were fit AF.
7:57.
But the media berated him because he wasn't the stereotypical violent gangsta rapper type, that they wanted to push.
I'm 75years young and still watching this video, it lifts me up 🤗
I'm 59, you got me beat! This jam keeps us young at heart ❤ 💙 💜
my condolences
Me too I 'am 70 years🤩
Lies.....you who post your age are liars....
O boy what did I just walk into
I pity anyone who wasn't in high school when Hammer got big because he made every school dance into a superstar music video. Kids who couldn't dance, now they could dance, even yours truly. That was the super power and magic of the moment that was MC Hammer.
MC Hammer was my first concert at 10 years old.

The Golden Hawaiian Swordsman Dragon HIGHLY AGREES! This is why old-school rap is FAR BETTER than twerking and New Era Rap!
The music today is full of HATE!
I feel sorry for y'all who didn't get to experience this era live. We had so much FUN! You can tell Hammer was having fun doing what he did. Truly a legend and this will go down as one of the dopest videos of all time! MC Hammer changed the game and he danced like no other
Yah, its no wonder kids today hate everything, want to "tear down the system" change their gender. The 80s and 90s were amazing. A much simpler time, where you would wait in line at Tower Records to get the latest album on Tuesday, and spend Friday night watching the MTV countdown.

amazing
I wish i was born back in the day, it looks so damn fun...
We are at the point of no return. At one time, I laid these debts on NWA and all other rappers that tore down the barriers in the industry.

I don't care what anybody says MC Hammer was the man back in the day! This song still goes hard!
And it was clean!!
MC Hammer was and is nothing but the truth. He definitely kept it clean and respectable and they couldn't handle that. He didn't need the gangster style. He had a style of his own. Do it again MC Hammer. I know you can. Love lyou MC HAMMER.
Billye Jean Armstrong I
I don't understand?
He was only the man if you was the willing Princess. Nobody I knew really gave a shit about him. One novelty song and that's it.
Say what you want but Hammer had AALLL the footwork. He will be honored soon enough
Bring MC Hammer back for the next Super Bowl halftime show!! start the movement now.
Agreed!!!
That would be so dope
What ? On a wheelchair and cane? Big daddy Stanley prefers to be left alone with the time he has left , thank you very much
It would be lit...🎇🎆🔨⏰️
I saw in concert at the casino a few years ...and ......no....today's hammer is kinda sad
To everyone else who was born and brought up in the 80’s to 90’s will truly appreciate this. I’ll tell you that when big movies and big songs came out the world would stop. lines around the block would form and we didn’t even mind waiting as everyone waited joyfully. So much appreciation and excitement. It was a cool time in my life.
say it again bruh!
Mc Hammer, The Man !!
Me too bro... those were the days💎
@Tom Gates
Definitely the 80’s. Marriage and kids kinda put the skids on it for me in the 90’s. 😅
Bro it was awesome. Loved being a kid in the 80s. Hammer was legit!
Hammer, Micheal, and James sharing the same stage at the same time wouldve lit the world on fire.
Yep
Love the Black power fist by Hammer and his dancers!!
I remember MC Hammer saying Michael should hang out with him, as he was seen as ecentric and strange, dunno,
Whole world would be in flames
George Michael wasn't that good.
Here from 2024! They don't make them like this anymore. This is fun to watch.
Way ahead of his time. The energy and dancing of the video plus this badAss anthem, if dropped today, would still shut it down. HAMMER WAS SERIOUS.
This song wouldn’t shut down nothing in todays time lmao
This music video is phenomenal: the choreography, the musicians, the back up singers, the message, the artistry, the inclusivity, the spectacle, the descending from the rafters encompassed the theatrical. Thus, Hammer and his team had it all before everyone. Yes, God gave him a talent that he shared with all, and Hammer knew when it was tim to exit the stage! Oo-oop!
Yes indeed
I said the same thing...he was definitely ahead of his time especially with the album after this one with pumps and a bump
@@frostyfreeze7213 you're high af if you believe that.
Hammer and C&C Factory were the real deal. Nothing compares to the 90s when it comes to clean, hard hitting and danceable tunes. We were alive when it happened, and no generation may enjoy this better than we did.
Hell, I'm from the 80s generation and enjoyed the f**k out of this
c&c stole ppls voices
I agree
Hammer was killing it back in the day. This video is still amazing to watch after all these years. I get exhausted just watching him dance. He was so big all these athletes and stars were happy to be in this video.
The
long introduction ruined me seeing for the first time
@@Herman-ej4xn LOL! It definitely is a long video, but Hammer's dancing is the thing of legends.
I've never seen a human being so full of energy all-in-one night on stage while dancing/rapping and keeping the pace.He needs to put that in a bottle and sell it.
MC Hammer was the first rapper to put on a highly choreographed show. His energy was crazy, it was like a MJ level performance

REMEMBER THIS VIDEO AND REMEMBER THE TIME CAME OUT AROUND THE SAME TIME AS THE LONGEST VIDEOS EVER.
I was so amazed when he came with video in 80's
MC Hammer and his crew have always given enough energy to power a city. Completely awesome.
The cocaine helps.
I resepct the fact that Hammer paid tribute to the true legend! RIP James Brown!
❤
Do you realize hammer has legends in this video alone👀👀‼️‼️🔥🔥🤙🏽
Yep also had the bloods & crips dancing a background dancers and choreographers he took the whole hood in
All of the cameos have literally brought tears to my eyes.😢 God, how I miss the 90's!!
Man it was cool to be a kid in the 90s
@@Steve-mx6lz fuck yeah. We was spoiled as hell. The other day I was listening to some "new school" cat. My cousin was like what you think? I was like well he ain't no LL, Big L, Big Pun, etc.
He was like 🙄 brah nobody is going to be that ever again. You need to dial it down. I was like 😂 why? Lol
Wish i was there again,miss those days

Bro this is some MJ level production and choreography, how hammer was ever considered a ''joke" is beyond me. Bro had ENERGYYY. They need to bring this level of effort back to videos
This was actually supposed to be an orchestrated back and forth between him and Michael Jackson with James Brown as the mediator. But Michael's child molestation allegations came and it never happened. The collaboration between the 2 of them would've been epic!
Strong music and Strong MC.Hammer.
Listen to Redman's interview about Hammer. Hammer was about that life
@@Mlookad I would have loved to see that, it would've been epic had they pulled it off!
I loved McHammer
the 90's were just an epic time to be alive. I'm glad I got to experience it. ❤❤
What!!!! Most definitely and every Saturday morning on ABC cartoons l watch Mc Hammer cartoon.
Absolutely true💯
All the singer, artist, actors and perfomers were legends.
💯💯
amen. id do anything to go back!
You said it right..... 80's and 90's best times so blessed I got to experience all tha good times
I met him several years back at his son's football game. We were towing a float around the field with our tow truck and my husband told him I was his biggest fan and he stopped what he was doing and came over and signed an autograph for me. He was such a nice and wonderful man. I felt like I was back in highschool and I met my idol. I saw him at an awards show with Sai doing can't touch this and Gangnam style. All I can say was that man hasn't lost a beat. He's still got it. That was a great day for me 🫶 May God always bless you!
THIS BROTHER WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING...HE DANCED WITH PASSION-POWER-SOUL-HEART-DIGNITY WITH A FURY THAT WAS JUST UNBELIEVABLE...SOO MUCH ENERGY--I LOVED HIS ENERGY AND PASSION...FOR ''THE DANCE''...HIS DANCING WAS VERY TRIBAL AND REALISTIC...MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU IN ALL YOU DO...OAKTOWN LIKE THE DEE!
I used to listen to this when I was 63, and now I'm 17. This will forever be a classic.💚
😂😂😂
Wait!!! What?!!
Wutt? Lol🧐😂🙃
He 63 but feels 17 again👍
hey Benj, good to know your up and about. Goin' spry as a Button, as expected. hahaha
Time traveler?
Hammer was legendary back then! The energy he put into his performances is unmatched in today's rap performances. Who today brings that much energy and joy to their performances? Everyone is so dark and vulgar. Different times back then and better too in many ways starting with MC Hammer!
One of the best things about his shows was that he brought a great message that you didn't need to be vulgar in your lyrics to be huge back then. He kept it clean in his lyrics and his shows.
I 💯‼️ agree
I prefer '80s rap over today's music. MC Hammer is still my favorite. I still remember watching the season finale of "Dancing With The Stars" and retired football player Emmet Smith and his partner, professional dancer Sheryl Burke were dressed like MC Hammer and danced to his rap "U Can't Touch This". At the end, they won. They did an amazing job.
HE WAS AN ENTERTAINER NOT JUST LAZY WALK-IN AROUND THE STAGE.
Hammer and MJ had the best dancers EVER!!!
You’ll never see high impact dancing like this again
You know that's right. They knocked it OUT.
Nope never will we see dancing like this all the dancing they doing now are twerking which they stole that from us too just saying
Dang, Hammer could dance. Rappers looked down at this cause they all wanted to be “gangsta” but I respect Hammer for doing what he loves.
Ask all those so called gangsters about Hammer..his Hammer thing was an act..Hammer was for real Gangsta
@@chiefhowlingwolfhannibal7360 Clean Rap, not today's Bullshit where it is all rapping about drugs, money, guns & degrading women anyway possible, Hammer's Rap was clean, responsible Parents or adults could let kids listen to it !! Sadly today ( so called parents) or irresponsible adults are letting kids listen to this Gangster Rap, 4-7 yr old kids singing along to all the kill, drug, guns, money, Fu$k & suck lyrics , WAFJ shit like this molds kids to the actions, decisions in Life, ( MLK said it best) judge a person by content of their character not by the color of their skin , Now Time to listen to some HAMMER TIME
Hammer was the HAMMER,he was Thor's hammer!!!!!.😉
Aklce Queen - I would of like this but I didn’t want to be #187 🤷
They all aimt know Hammer was that dude who was the real gangster.
God will always give you what you need when you need it. My husband died in October of 2019, and I was sitting here crying and wondering if I needed to go on...somehow I found my way to this song.

Good old days when when videos were a whole movie production and the dance moves were a whole cardio workout. Miss these days for real.
I LOVE HISMUSIC AFTER 30 YEARS!! NO CURSING
2021! I saw him in concert in 1992! Best, most exciting show ever! I was, am and always will be a HAMMER fan! Everybody had their clothes on, nobody was talking about sex, money, drugs, alcohol and everybody was really loving him!
Don't forget about "She's Soft and Wet"
I bet that was an incredible time. Thanks for sharing!
I miss those days.
U stepped back in time when you went there so lucky
I went to his House Party Concert here in Houston summer 2019.
Dougie E Fresh. Kid n Play. Hammer.
The man outdanced me and several thousand other 40-somethings.
Best money spent on a concert
The man hasn't lost A STEP.
ALL of Hammer's past songs are still hot to me and worth dancing to! He still has it going on in my book!
Now where is Hammers’s half time show?!!!!!! That’s what we needed
THAT WOULD BE LIT 🔥
Yes,we do and bring back Oaktown's 357 and all those other dancers.
MOST DEFINITELY 💯💯💯💯❤️
That would b e lit! I'd rather have him than what they've had the past several years!
He would shut it down 🔥
2024 there is no hip hop without the hammer, his dress trends, dance styles, and top tier energy. He out performed them all in his day and had us all wearing parachute pants and pantent leather lace up that you could full body dance in. If you can dance like this you're the ish forever. No one can ever take that from you. Micheal Jackson, Kool Moe Dee, and LL COOL J were his biggest haters and rivals. This is actually a diss record, like others in his catalog. They was sweating the hammer tough.
Not gonna lie. I wish more hiphop focused on dance. The beautiful, cathartic, act of dancing. There's so much expression in that. We need more of that.
Some day it will come back around
And best believe it that most of these rappers can throw down.
The music today is too slow. In all genres, society has become dull and desensitized. When you stop dancing, you stop living life! Hip Hop, Rap, Soul, R&B, Rock and Pop is meant to be danced to. Gen Z are singing a lot of weak ballads about nothing in particular, they don't stand for love or humanity...
that way...
And the Black power and proudness in that video, Hammer and his dancers made specific stances and movements on purpose, to show the strength and versatility of Black people. Fantastic image for young Black kids.
This dude really had Easy E diss him in his own video! LOL! This is PURE GENIUS!!! Hammer does not get any where near the props he deserves!
Darneh Jefferson hammer and Eazy E were really cool with each other dumbo. You people really don't know shit about hip-hop.
Classic, there is NO ONE that can compare to Hammer in dancing. His whole squad was Cold 🥶. And the little kid at the end was jamming his shoes off!!❤
That "Get It pumped, get pumped" dance move was slick like oil, baby!!!! Queue the chills!!!!
That kid dancing with hammer is incredible! He matched Hammer foot per foot!

Hammer was a Straight G!!! First hip hop artist to go DIAMOND!!! Think about that. People don't realize his impact unless you lived through it. Broke down doors for artists today in so many ways. Hammer didn't need to pretend to be hard because he was a tough dude on the REAL!!! People who put him down can go straight to you know where!!!
If he could get this many celebrities just to be in a music video, you can tell how big he was then.

This is the ULTIMATE MC Hammer song and video of all time! He is still 2 LEGiT 2 QUIT, even as a preacher now! I can still jam to this in 2018! GO HAMMER! GO HAMMER!!
Me too
Even though he's not performing anymore,in today's world he is still too legit to quit. Thanks for the energy Hammer
He did a performance a few years ago with psy but it wouldve been cool to see him do a tour in 2023 if only
We had no idea we were living through an artistic Golden Age of Black culture, dance, and music. I miss this era so much, and I admit I took it for granted at the time.

One of the greatest music videos of all time.
AGREED. Hammer was the truth back in the day.
This man AND his dancers had the tightest moves in the game!!! They did the damn thang!!! I miss this type of high energy, in sync dancing. AMAZING, AMAZING, AHHHHMMMAAAZZIINNGGG!!!
The dancing was mesmerizing. 😁
How could they dance, sing, breath at
the same time?
Love it❤
You have to choose one. Can't do all three
The energy, the crowd, the beat, the dance moves and Ed everything else HAMMER was ELECTRIC MADNESS! This dude in the 1990s was unbelievable!
He brought a bunch of fans on stage to dance at his concert last night and I was one of them. Even though he is almost 60 he had them moves like he was 20!!!
Aweeeeeee😭😭
Wooowwww
Awesome! Hammer stays in shape🤗
WORD.

He's the best and NOBODY can ever live up to his greatness. The backup dancers are freaking Great!

The best. I purposely work out to this song for the energy alone. The breakdown he does is unbelievable.
DEFINITELY ONE OF THE GREATEST TO EVER DO IT!
I will continue to say, MC Hammer deserves a lifetime achievement award! #4SHO

His dance moves are a major workout, FOR REAL.

Facts with double tax!
this was a big big deal when these videos came out. EVERYONE sat around the TV watching like a movie. Great family time❤😊
Yup. This one and Michael Jackson Do You Remember The Time.
Weekends in the late 80’s-90’s:
FRIDAY:
AFTERNOON: After school you either do your homework as soon as you get home from school (or straight up lie saying it’s done/you don’t have any). Go outside to ride bikes, go to the friend’s house with the pool, the trampoline, or bball court. Whatever you were doing, you just better be home by the time the street lights came on!
EVENING:Take your bath/shower, Dad gets home from work, and Friday was pizza night.
Then we’d gather in the living room together- parents and siblings- with the TGIF lineup kicking off on ABC from 8p-10p. Followed by the news which marked our bedtime.
SATURDAY:
MORNING: Up at the buttcrack of dawn with a bowl of cereal hoping you were the lucky sibling who found the toy in the box. You’re up so early that the only thing on tv was Home Shopping Network, random Infomercials, and Bob Villa doing home renovations. 😂
Then the cartoons come on starting at 8a.
When the rest of my siblings got up, we’d all use our two hour video game limit to play Sonic on Sega Genesis together. Then Mom took us to the library where we’d each check out two books… One that our parents picked for us (that we’d have to read and do a book report for Mom and Pop to read) and the other book we could choose for ourselves.
AFTERNOON: Get home from the library and scatter. From cleaning and other chores, hanging out with friends, going out together as a family, going to each other’s activities like sports, etc. Hit Blockbuster Video and pick a movie (if/when ALL 5 of us had our chores done AND had a good week in school… no detentions, schoolwork done, and nothing less than a B+ on quizzes and tests… which was added pressure in school because you didn’t wanna be the sibling who ruined it for everyone else). And one of my favorite Saturday afternoon memories: Watching Kung Fu Theater just my Dad and me- while my Mom and sisters would be watching Lifetime Movies.
PREVENING (the period between afternoon and night from around 5p-8p): Pops would give me a haircut, Mom and sisters did each other’s hair, and we’d all have to pick out our clothes and iron them so they were ready for church. And Saturdays, we’d have homemade cheesesteaks or hoagies… each making them how we liked them. (Fridays and Saturdays were the only nights Mom didn’t cook big homemade meals).
EVENING: Unlike the TGIF lineup that the whole family would watch together, Saturday nights were just us siblings tuning in to SNICK at 8pm. Rug rags, Doug, All That, Are You Afraid of the Dark, Pete & Pete, Clarissa Explains it All, Keenan and Kel, etc. Just like TGIF, though, the lineup changed from time to time. My sisters watched until 10pm bedtime. Me? I was always a little punk, so Are You Afraid of the Dark wasn’t for me at the time.😂
SUNDAY:
MORNING: Church, of course! Sunday School 10am-11am. And regular service from 11:30am-1pm.
AFTERNOON: Get home from church, change clothes, then we’d get a head start on our library books (the reports being due Friday morning. Dad left for work at 4:30am everyday, so we’d have to leave the reports on the counter where he’d leave our lunch money before heading to school. He’d read them before going to work then leave them for Mom to grade). We’d be doing that until dinner was ready. Just like every other day, we ate dinner… TOGETHER… in the dining… at the dinner table. Then, you didn’t just eat, get up, and leave. When everyone finished eating, Pops would ask each of us about the week, good and bad. Then he’d ask about the upcoming week. I hated it at the time! All of our friends had tvs in the bed rooms and got to eat whenever and wherever they wanted to! They could watch tv and everything! But I realized as an adult that while I was wishing I was in their shoes, they were wishing to be in mine! They got all the toys, clothes, video games, everything! When I had to rush home with the streetlights coming on while they could stay out late and go do whatever they wanted to do, I resented having parents that forced us to eat together, wouldn’t allow us to go be at friends’ houses whose parent/ parents weren’t home leaving them/us unsupervised. In school, we ALWAYS had to sit in class on Monday hearing the stories about all the big fun we missed out on not being there! And as an 11+ year old kid, it SUPER sucks to be the only one on the outside of an inside joke! LoL! But, I digress.
SUNDAY EVENING: After dinner, we’d get our school supplies packed and our clothes ready for school. Then it’s chill mode. By then, it’s 5:30p/6p. We’d play a board game or something together and/or gather around the tv to wind down. Pop in the movie we rented from Blockbuster (when movies were 75-90 minutes long) and end with shows like America’s Funniest Home Videos and other Sunday Night family stuff. We weren’t allowed to watch the Simpsons or In Libing Color because our parents didn’t play that stuff AT ALL! The moment profanity or sexual innuendo hit the screen, it’s game over for that show! LoL. To end the night , we knew it was bedtime when boring a$$ 20/20 came on.
I know… I know. The length of this comment is absolutely outrageous to the social media generation. But hey, what’s to be expected from a guy whose parents made him read books and turn in book reports every week?! Oh, and… That wasn’t a rare, one time type of thing, either. Neither were we homeschooled! And I’m not sure what’s worse… Having to do that ON TOP OF our actual classwork during the school year… Or having to do it over spring break and summer vacation. What do you fine ladies and gentlemen think?

Yes
A video like this nowadays would cost hundreds of millions! This video and Michael Jackson’s Remeber The Time were mini movies back then. Michael and Hammer literally interrupted prime time television to premiere their videos! Had to be alive then to understand the magnitude of that…Epic is an understatement!
This video cost 2,5 millions dollars
@@juanferreira3850 Great info…thanks for that
Michael Jackson and Madonna were the originals and the ones who changed the music video industry and the rest follow. Way before this video and Remember The Time there was "THRILLER", arguably the greatest music video ever.
@@fabiennefertiti3017 Agreed…the main point I was making overall was that back then those type artist took over prime time television just to premiere their videos. Each of them had ground breaking videos respectfully. No artist today has that kinda power nor are record labels spending that kinda money just for a video. It was a great time be alive musically.
@@fabiennefertiti3017 I'd say Michael and his sister Janet were the originals who changed the music video industry and innovators. Madonna had her thing too but she tended to follow trends more than set them.
Just a reminder that a for a 3-year period in the early 90's, Hammer was THE BEST in the game
Patrick Randall nah MJ was. Just way more versatile.
Yes indeed
Joel Garcia No. Even MJ had small set of moves. Hammer was faster and had a variety of moves. Try dancing to both their dance steps and you will know yourself which one was more taxing and difficult.
Yeah he made a 50 grand death warrant on MC Serch. Lovely guy.
Patrick Randall He never rose above MJ when it came to dances! Really and his 3 year rise ended when he challenged MJ faded like butter on a hot griddle
Who's forty or older and tried to relive these dances, but quickly found out shit aches now, that didn't when you were a teenager?
🙋🏽♀️ Me! I’m looking for the Icy Hot right now! 😂
You think I'm joking. I was dancing to this song and later that night it felt like Freddy Krueger and Edward Scissorhands were both taking turns slicing my shins down the front. plus both knees felt as if there wasn't any cartilage, just bone.
I’ll be 42 next month and I’m feeling it
Ethereal Ontogenesis I knew I was getting old when I started loving the smell of Icy Hot lol
Leinad Me too! 😂 I couldn’t stand it when I was younger, but the “now” me is thinking it’s not so bad as I rub it into my joints. lol
Damn Hammer was the sh** in the 90’s! I sure do wish I could rewind time. I member living in this neighborhood where all my friends lived. We would have birthday parties every year and our cousins and friends would come over and we would be dancing to this song. Man good ole days. We lived in that neighborhood for 13 yrs. I miss it sooooo much😩😩😩😩 iam now 42 lol! Memories I will forever hold.
That dance routine with the A's uniform was legit! Still get goosebumps watching that routine
Me to
When that fireball first hit the stage I got goosebumps.
Yes!
WOW, I forgot how many legends and entertainers were in this video. That shows how much of the wave he was at that time. He was definitely legit at that time. He even tried Mike a little.
My 21, 19 and 14 year old sons appreciate the goodness that is Hammer. The 19 year old said "wow I wish music was this hype now. You got lucky and had good music while we are stuck with trash". I know son...I know lol
😂
Your sons are wise beyond their years
WISE SON SPEAKS THE WHOLE TRUTH & NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH!!!!!!
One of the best dance performer there is and he needs his flowers while he’s still here today and he needs a half time show and more acknowledgments as of today because I still blasts his music as I listen to it today…Can’t touch this, 2 Legit to quit, Adam’s family and more

It's why The 90's is FOREVER THE GOLDEN ERA!
Hammer was never the best rapper but he sure was great entertainer, dancer and had a entrepreneur spirit about him. He employed his own ppl and was always positive in his music. Hammer your were the man and nuff respect to ya!
He went so hard on this. Most can't touch the energy!
caught the 2legit tour all those years ago. Hammer wasn't much of a rapper..., but he was....and is the most energetic presence that I have ever seen on stage to this day. Hammer did something no one else did at the time....., he brought athleticism to dance. Haven't seen anything like it since.
His rapping here isn't that bad. He tried to go the hardcore rapper route but it just wasn't him. He just wanted to make music that was fun but folded under the pressure of the music industry's demands.
