@@spiderpimp33 Amazing you mentioned those three. MJ was once asked are there any dancers that you think can dance just as good/better than you. His response was MC Hammer and James Brown.
Some of us could... Some of us spent a lot of money on patent leather shoes that would fall apart after one night of hard dancing at the club... and the drop crotches... this performance was before he started wearing those.
I am a dedicated marathon runner and I’m completely rethinking my training plan after watching this. His cardio/pulmonary endurance is INSANE. GOOD LORD!
this was a fun time in music, everybody had their routines, I used to study Kid N Play, 357, Hammer, Bobby Brown, Kwame, Father MC, I even tried to learn Tone Loc's routine from the AMA performance or something, rewinding and playing the video tape my parents yelling that I'm gonna break the VCR, staying up late with the tape in the VCR waiting to see who Arsenio was gonna have on that night, Good Times!
I remember that the record stores in my area could not keep his album in stock. It would sell out as soon as a shipment came in. It took me weeks to get a copy. People forget the massive impact he had at the time on the culture of Hip Hop.
Arsenio once said that every time Hammer came on his show it was nothing but a party and now I see what he was talking about. He turned that mother out!!! LOL
LOL those 3 guys in the striped shirts and the other dude dancing with them in the crowd were part of his entourage of way too many people. That's why he went broke before he ever really even got paid...
That's not what happened dude... MC Hammer was making BANK, not even you hating can deny his super expensive mansion he purchased but the difference with MC Hammer was he created jobs to help a lot of people in his neighborhood MAKE money and the haters act like it never happened cause they don't do anything constructive or positive. Also keeping up a music career isn't easy and there was a time when the hater spreading ppl made it seem like MC Hammer was wack cause he did a KFC commercial but just barely a year later a bunch of NYC rappers who also were hating were dancing to different sneakers, Sprite soda, and later Malt Liquor brands etc etc etc so it was just haters being mad that MC Hammer wasn't making wack music and it filled dance floors and clubs and he was indeed making big bank but when the negativity made it that his music wasn't being played, it also meant that money stagnates... he had other rap dance groups under his wing... had he been able to fine tune their follow up albums back then they could have maintained that hip hop subgenre for dance clubs
I was 25 when this came out and I remember taping this segment and doing the dances from it. Would probably need CPR if my old behind tried to do it now, lol.
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!...
I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOO glad Arsenio's coming back... although we no longer have talent like this nor entertaining artists for him to have intelligent discussions with, but I'm glad he's coming back regardless. YAY!!!
With all these OLD SKOOL artist still grinding! I really think HAMMER should go back on the road!!!! I would pay to see him in concert again! He was the TRUTH and there is still a niche out there. Because today there are NO artists out that truly give you a concert, like HAMMER did! A matter of fact that's the difference between a concert and a show!
I'm not going to lima she's Michael Jackson fan but when hammer came out I was like oh oh but I only said it to myself lol He's awesome talent hammer he is to this day he's something to deal with
Arsenio was so important to Hip Hop and R&B artist .....

So true.. that cardio is crazy great job to This man and his crew.
2020 and it still gives me chills to see this performance. This was his national debut, HYPE is an understatement!
Factz

You got them right I can't take nothing away from beyoncé but they don't want to see this brother we surface damn damn damn

This was all the way live... but lets give credit to one of the best hype men in the biz as well!
This is one of my most favorite and memorable Arsenio Hall segments. I was in front of the TV trying to get EVERY DANCE STEP IN !! HAHAHAHA
Me too.
Me too.
hey modern hip-hop, take note.... THIS is how you put on a show.
That intro when the beat comes in and hammer starts dancing is so cool. Dancing with the chicks too. Talk about cool.
Say what you will...Hammer had a hype show
I love the fact he never disrespected his wife when he performed. No background dancers or audience members were on top of him or vice versa.
His energy is crazy high... It's crazy
Had to pull this up to lift my spirits!
Hammer Dance Battled against 4 people in the audience 😂😂
This dude Hammer had crazy dance moves
I would have been tired asf after the first dance sequence.. ..
A bit of nose candy helps.
Arsenio once said that every time Hammer came on his show it was nothing but a party and now I see what he was talking about.
He turned that mother out!!! LOL
Even though it's been 27 years, can I say that I'M STILL JEALOUS of those 3 guys in the audience , getting the chance to dance with Hammer!!
those 3 dudes look like the guys from ho frat ho
LOL those 3 guys in the striped shirts and the other dude dancing with them in the crowd were part of his entourage of way too many people. That's why he went broke before he ever really even got paid...
🤣👍

@@thinkbeforyouvoteI've heard that
somebody like this should have never fallen off, too entertaining... some record company should have kept him around just on principle
The record companies plotted against him to create the state sponsored "Gangster Rap" plandemic and fill the private prisons.
This dude missed his calling as a fitness instructor. His cardio was off the chain
This was one of my favorites. I watched this on tape 100 times. he rocked that show.
The hype man is on point.
I Swear. One of the BEST!
Too Big M. C.
So much energy . . . so much energy. And he never dreamed small.
hammer did his thang
When you make it this show YOU MADE IT 👍....Hammer put on a show it was fun to watch him.
80's! Good times & bad, those were some of the best times of my life. -& I still wish I could dance like that.
My dude was really nice on the dance floor.
He was the shit back then
I'm so missing the 90s by watching this
His dancer and the girl from the group Oaktown 357 Terrible T was fine!
