Amazing
Right
Hammer deserves more love. This guy is a legend.
Dude made so much money. He WAS loved.
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.
LEGEND!!!!!!
Yeh he got Eminems love
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. ❤
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
That woman who goes "Hey Heyyyy, Hey Heyyyy, Too Legiiiiiit" has an awesome voice
Saja aka Sonia Moore on recorded version. A time or two in performances, B Angie B stepped in.
shivers right???
As of March 2024, MC Hammer still performs about 50 concerts per year. He also has his own label and helps others. And he is a Minister.
Wow! 😮
I didn’t know that he was a Minister believe me 💗💗💗💜💜💜❤❤❤
The clip is not racist then ?
Still blessed ok Hammer ❤
That is a blessing living legend still rocking and going too legit, too, quit
We gotta give Hammer his flowers while we still have him
Most definitely.

That intro longer than these new school rappers' whole careers
Right...most are getting murdered.

😂😂😂😂. Right!! I thought I was watching a movie. That’s what you call a production!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thee longest ever 😩 but it was good tho 👌🏾😂
Bwaahaha!!!
When people mention the top dancers (MJ, Usher, Chris Brown, Prince), they almost always forget to mention MC Hammer. HOW????
Prince never was talked about being a top dancer.
@@cjjonez And I had sushi for lunch. You're entirely missing the point.
@@NOMUMFEL no I didn't. I caught that you are silly and ignorant.
@NOMUMFEL yeah you silly and ignorant. I picked up that up off your silly statement.
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?
u ain't never lied!!!

Facts❤❤
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.
MC Hammer was the first rapper to put on a highly choreographed show. His energy was crazy, it was like a MJ level performance
Puffy stole his show, too
This right here.
@@googleuser8822 stop
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
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.
@@chanjess81how was it
When music was 100% enjoyable! ❤ Grew up in 80’s and 90’s.. I was very lucky 🥰😎😉
WORD!
I'm a 90's baby 1991
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.
Back when you came home from school and MTVwas hella cool.

2023 And it’s still hitting Hard…
No Cussing No Fighting
Not at all 🎶 🎼 🎵
👍
If you say so..

Actually, I noticed a lot of boxing in here
When rappers didn't kill each other ......THEY DANCED!!!!
What rappers are killing each other?
I used to listen to this when I was 63, and now I'm 17. This will forever be a classic.💚
😂😂😂
Wait!!! What?!!

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

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.
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!!❤
Mad props to Hammer and Allll his backup dancers. They brought all the heat. Still one of the best performances in history. 2023
Yes sir
MC Hammer's dance moves is believed to unlock your body's full potential
It does. Try it. If not in shape call 911
Lol you ain't never lied
I used to dance like this if I try it now I'm going to need some oxygen
You're right .
I'm just gon say ✌legit to quit to that 😎👏👏👏👏👏
That was a epic comment my nigga
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
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 🔥
His dance moves are a major workout, FOR REAL.
Syrr Mogerite Cardio at its best!!!
I burned 900 calories just watching the video
I damn near bust a lung
Ok
Legend says that fatty mcclure changed his name after doing his dance moves for one week.
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.
Totally Agree!!!
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. 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.
This is who we need at the Super Bowl yesssss!!!
yes
Just watching the dance moves man... in a suit as well? the sweat and dedication is amazing. Hammer and his dancing team always deliver.
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
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!
One of the greatest music videos of all time.
AGREED. Hammer was the truth back in the day.
2023 and they don’t perform like this anymore. Totally love this video!😘
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.
If UA-cam was around back then this video would have well over a billion views.
Nahhh mumble rap dominates the scene. No one cares anymore about singing and dancing. As long as you look homeless and have a good instrumental with bass then youll be admired today.
YES!
add . maby more ;))
Trillions
@ms evon 0
Whew, that man dancing with his son is 🔥🔥🔥
WOW, I NEVER KNEW THAT IS HIS SON, WOW, I ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW WHO HE WAS ❤❤
That was not his son. He did an interview one time and said that was his Godson.
Way to give props to MJ at the end!
It doesn't get more 90's than this.
I miss the 90's
You ain't lying! I love it. He puts on the best show. I've seen him twice.
I got three and a half werdz for you.... "SIR MiX A-LOT"
*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 🙌*
I know right!! 😂🤣😂
@Jaiyana Akines because you're ten you do not understand the "irony"of the joke!
Because people who grew up in the 90s are in their own lame world and that’s why no one likes anything from their decade
@Jaiyana Akines Damn so I ain't the only one am 11
Facts with double tax!
And to think, they used to say McHammer wasn't Hip Hop? McHammer defined a WHOLE new era of FUN & full of dancing ENERGY Hip Hop that we will NEVER see again! No one CAN'T TOUCH McHammer's dancing, his dancers, and his pure heart of gold!! He was indeed TOO LEGIT!!! 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
GOD FATHER JAMES BROWN AND MC HAMMER BRING BACK THE GLOVE!!!❤❤🎉🎉
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.
Where at? A casino?
Decades later, its still STUNNING to watch!
Yes it is
This is when i quit ballet, started dancing with a Jamaican stripper who taught me this dance. OMG...
We started winning local club competitions...I LOVE HAMMER AND HIS CREW!
HIS ENERGY IS FROM A PURE, RAW SPIRIT. HIS CREW IS PHENOMENAL!!!
A REAL WORK OUT!
SYNCOPATION, CREATIVITY, FREE NEW DANCE STYLES, SINGING AND RAPPING AT THE SAME TIME ....
THIS MAN IS THE OG, GOAT, RAP/DANCE GOD ... HE NEEDS A STAR ON THAT SIDEWALK.
PLEASE MAKE A COMEBACK ...
YOUR SHOW BUSTS ALL THE MOVES...
WE LOVE YOU, SIR: MC HAMMER!
SPIT FIRE, ELECTRIFYING DANCE AND HIS PHENOMENAL CREW.
NO SWEARING
NO WOMAN DEGRADING
NO VIOLENCE
NO ILLEGAL DRUG CASH
ALL: CLASS
CLASS
CLASS
CLASS
WE LOVE YOU MC HAMMER!❤❤❤
So true!! Also the ballet to Jamaican stripper made me giggle. Bring back the hammer!! All fun, all joy, all class!!!
Hammer didn't make video's, he made moves. This is my generation of music 😢 and I was there for the ride!
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...
you had to have been alive when this song came out to understand the magnitude of this
Had to be somethin wit all these big names 😂 ain't gon lie didn't kno Hammer had it like that but I remember my dad teachin me the hand motions and all that shit 🤦🏿♂️🤣🤣
I was all of one when this came out
We left school early for today he premier of this VIDEO
MAN THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN ONE OF THE BEST VIDEOS THAT HAMMER HAS EVER DONE!!!!🔥🔥🔥😭😭😭😍😍😍
I was in 4th grade I believe. So about 10 or 11 years old. I remember the day after this video debut. It was like THE topic of conversation throughout the entire school for that day
There will never be another like Hammer. One of the greatest entertainers ever.
I dont think we know how good we had it back in the 90s !
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
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.
I'll never forget this point when Hammer went from that fun, semi-chaotic entertainment style of dancing to that sharp formation/drill style. Burnt it up.
And the beats be knocking too
@@jasondawson92 oh yes indeed. Both Hammer and Janet doing their damn thing with that formation style, with their producers feeding them those "screw up your face" tracks for their day. 🔥
Dam i miss the 80s am 45 79 born no Gen zero here am the last of the heros of the years we are js God bless all
😂ok. I be 45 on 5/9
This still one of the most EPIC music videos EVERRR!!!!
Boom for realz
From Jim Belushi to Danny Glover, to James Brown to Hammer to Michael Jackson, epic!
some one in fairborn knows i,m marriage to an base guitarfrom dayton
🤣
It was corny as hell.
I appreciate hammer’s absolutely manic dancing way more now than I did 30 years ago. Guy is on 11 the whole time...
Truth...so true, I can def feel that
Yea his cardio was at 11 guy could of been an Olympic athlete or basketball player lol
Yes and the Choreography was excellent!!!
Its completely non stop, I def not appreciate this either, sheesh.
His cardio game is legit.
He was a real performer...this generation has no real performers like this
MC Hammer the GOAT. Unbeatable, style, unique, choreography mind boggling,. Where are the men of style and masculinity today. MC HAMMER ,hats off to you.💯💯💯👍👍
This when rap was all about having a good time I miss these days
Facts
Mira como el poder diabólico
Actúa. Nos. Hace creer. K no tenemos poder cómo humanos . El fuego k ves es del infierno. Si este video te haces saber. K hay un salvador . Jesús. Y UN reino
Jesus. El hijo de Dios
Cree en el .y serás salvó. De tu alllmma
Mira la silla k ocupa . Es la silla diabólica k famosos y famosos ispanos ocupan es decir Satanás . No ocupa idiomas . Es diabólico mira esto
Right!
James Smith facts bro 🤦🏾♂️
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.
At 57 years old... I used to dance the shi..... out of this in university! I thank you for this historic video!! Been watching it and subbed a long time ago! 2 L T Q! Keeeping me alive through my depression!!!
This is one of my pops favorite artists.. when I’m down n missing him I play all hammer videos n slide round the house like we used to.. out of breath n all.. lol.. I understand n hold ya head.. hopefully all gets better for you!!
The energy these dances took.
I resepct the fact that Hammer paid tribute to the true legend! RIP James Brown!
Hammer had insane stamina to keep up that amount of energy while performing.
Good bedroom 🛌 game
Jamming! ❤
YES JASON IS HIS NAME@@jasondawson92
The dancing is on a different level.
He was the first rapper that I knew of who helped rap become what it was , true , no cussing , no degrading words against the wimen , really clean lyrics unlike today's rap . And he did amazing MJ and Janet Jackson -worthy performances in his shows .
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.
In elementary school I remember my teacher used to make us listen to this every morning to feel energized. And I'm still obsessed with this
The hell school you went to?
@@taylorscrews2284 😂😂😂
Damn!!😍🤣
@@taylorscrews2284 probably the ghetta🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@taylorscrews2284 😂😭
2024 vibes and still top notch production and effort throughout the whole video. Maximum vibes and godlike energy
I was in elementary school when Mc Hammer hit the scene.
MC Hammer could dance.
Like 10 mutha-fuckas...He didn't just dance he created shit!
Michael Jackson would dance his ass right under the table...
can we just take a minute to recognize how epic this video is?all those cameos!
its was a lot of cameos in this video! The Godfather of Soul Mr. James Brown i love every bit of it
Okay!!!!! The game ain't ready for him still
never give up who was the reporter in the beginning
@@GritznGravy08 , James Belushi
Right.
Hammer is so underrated!!
❤historical fact:
This 'Mama' danced and sang out loud to MC Hammer while cleaning house for my family.
Kids make fun of their parents.. it's true, but I'm so glad that the Lord blessed me with a heart for MUSIC to get us through!!!
Too Legit To Quit. 💋
Hammer could dance his mother****ing ass off!
Yes he can I remember back in 1992 I had went to go see him in concert he really put on an good show unforgettable.
+JeVarie's Planet Hammer vs MJ? Who's your pick? Mike can jam, but I think Hammer would have whooped him.
I like them both too, but if they were freestyle dancing, I think Hammer would take him. Too bad they never faced off in real life.
+LadySoul4ever I've been saying it forever! "Hammer would've smoked mike", in any dance content! He called mike ass out on this vid. Mike did the right thing by staying quiet too. Even the god father was like bring me the glove! That's says alot.
But can you imagine the dance off?!! OMG! I've been saying Wii needs to make a game out of Hammer's songs and as a bonus they can have a MJ vs Hammer dance off. I'd buy that!
i always liked the way mc hammer danced, it felt very powerful
I AGREE
Just TOTALLY BAD!!! Look how he WORKS THOSE ANGLES! His 👯♀️, Too! HOW does he DO THAT?!!!!
It's like dry heaves set to music.
2023 and this is still one of the dopest performances and video ever
What’s amazing to me is that James Brown, even when just walking around his house, shuffles and jives around. What a performer
I bet MC Hammer STILL has these moves & THIS kind of energy in 2021, puttin’ us all to shame! 🖤
He does, I saw him in concert right before covid hit!
Amazing!! And lit!!
💖💛💖💖🙏🏾
Not really
He does , saw him like in 2019 , Honey he CUT UP! Follow him on IG , he shows his rehearsals.
Venomous Vixen , quitters never win and winners never quit not, MC Hammer , it's fake news, even the GodFather of Soul Anointed Him .
M
Classic. RIP to those who aren’t with us anymore. Wow. Classic
Yes you said right!
I send out my condolences amen September 13th 2021 thank God 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😅
Hello beautiful how are you doing
@crankylifter 😂 shit was vague
Hammer took care of his dancers. Great Entertainment Icon.❤❤❤❤
Hands down Hammer's best video and the best part of this video is the little boy dancing with Hammer. He was jamming his little ass off and completely held his own with Hammer.
I was enjoying the same thing ... that little guy was gettin down, kept up with Hammer with ease
My eighties dancing men can't be outdone by any of what this generation has to offer: Michael Jackson, MC Hammer, Bobby Brown- New Edition, and more...:)
Hello pretty lady,how are you doing
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.
Lucien LaChance At the time Hammer was a bigger artist, facts.
@@iago9711 The first rap Grammy went to.......DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince.
$1l
He was real deal in them streets too 😂😂
My mom took me to see this man in concert 3x’s as a kid! Loved him and this era of music!❤
THE GOLDEN AGE OF HIP HOP!!!
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.
You go girl! God bless you dear!
@@cherylleech5147 Thank you. God is good!
Rip
@@mustafakato8658, thank you.
Amen you go get that !!
To this day, no one has come close to these dance moves. Priceless.
Michael Jackson tho 🤔
NOPPPPEE
Chris Brown Vs. Hammer now that would be dope st
@@isaacbrown1843 preach
You are so right! Talkin about a baaaad motha.....HAMMER!
Sigh...seems like yesterday..Im 75 years young....and watched MC as a BAT BOY for the Oakland Athletics......WHEN they had a TEAM! God bless
Our music is the best and the music industry killed it
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.
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
The wee ones in dance class wearing pink tutus turned gangsta as soon as this song came on in the 90s
Back when MTV PLAYED REAL VIDEOS !!!!
HAMMERS energy tho !!!!! I loved watching him! ALWAYS ONE OF MY FAVORITES BY HIM
