Hammer is a legend. It hurts me that the hip hop community clowned him. Now rappers do everything across the board: movies, sitcoms, cartoons, commercials. However, when Hammer did it back then, brothas were beefing. Richard Pryor once said: be proud of a brotha doing ANYTHING.
No different than Michael Jackson. People loved him, then clowned him, then later respected him universally
Yeah he was b4 his time. It's hard being 1st.
@shelbymw6429 Guess that's true. I never had a problem with Hammer. It was nice seein a rapper who actually entertained and not just paced back and forth with a serious face.
They clowned Hammer for doing commercials but nobody clowned rappers like Ice Cube, KRS, and others for doing Malt Liquor commercials though
There will always be ppl that clown you just like they did hammer. At the same time ppl were clowning him A LOT of ppl were fans of his. Moral of the story don't pay attention to the haters they will always be there.
I remember when Hammer first came out everybody got caught up in his music and dancing until all the other MC's got jealous.
Yaa great Times
@@icebong7048 💯
They sure did. There was mad hate being directed towards Hammer back then.
you right
Fans are so fickle. I rocked with Hammer from the begging and stuck with him.
And to think they called him a sellout for being positive smh 🤦🏾♂️ we need a Mc Hammer right now
how would he be a sellout if he basically broke
Slick Beats he gave all his money back into the hood and didn’t take into account that his finances were dropping
K.T. Harmon amen to that
Slick Beats he ain’t broke because he doesn’t make music. He own part of twitter and other shit. Music is not the only form of making money
That was the thinking because MC Hammer was not known for being vocal about politics, like KRS 1, or Public Enemy. I grew from that way of thinking. Music can be many things. It's all positive.
Hammer is a legend. He was ahead of his time, musically and business wise. Many thing artists are getting credit for today he was doing back in his day but got dissed for it.
NotyNoty he basically paved the way 💯
Yes
@@sheritadavis8880 Yep
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Hammer looks much better now than when he was young-er & is an ICON! How-ever, these other 2 lame as millennials are horrible inter-view skill wise & so-called music un-wise!!!! 🐷🐖💩
MC Hammer is a pioneer of Hip-Hop. He paved the way for so much that's happening in Hip-Hop now.
Yes he is
best songs mc hammer - u cant touch this 1990, mc hammer - keep on 1995, mc hammer - turn this mutha out 1988, mc hammer - dont stop 1994. mc hammer is hip-hop pioneer make music since 1987. jay z is clown in hip hop . i hope one day mc hammer is go to rock and roll hall of fame
MC Hammer is the real hip hop OG don’t let the music fool you
The only man that Suge Knight genuinely feared.
Nore and EFN need to get Hammer on the drink champs podcast ASAP
oaklandsoldier8520 why? Just so NORE bitchass can keep interrupting him while he slurps on his blunt
Yeah that would be good. Nore going to be cutting him off all day tho.
oaklandsoldier8520 drink champs kiss ass too much with each guest they have and nore interrupt way too much
yeah true but they don't get some crazy stories. Nore interrupting is the most annoying shit ever.
oaklandsoldier8520 I agree. This is coming from someone from the East Side New York. I was so jealous my sister got to see him in concert. She said it was the best concert she ever been to. A real dude I had his cds and watched his cartoon as a youth. Real talk he is not a dude to fuck with in real life. He'll give it to you
Hammer is a businessman, a gangster, a legend
Wasn’t a good businessman. He blew all his loot and owed millions in taxes.
@@peterbravestrong yeh 50 million in 5 years xD
Hammer looked out for alot of people in his neighborhood. He is the G.O.A.T
@@peterbravestrong Yeah, but he’s an angel investor in these tech companies and social media platforms that you use.
@@peterbravestrong Not exactly. He played the govt just like those Wallstreet folks.
Big fan of MC Hammer's, ever since I was a kid. He seems like a genuinely good person, trying to help the people in and around his community, a true humanitarian.
hammer still looking good after all these years.. and shows he's more than just a rapper... I remember seeing him once on the streets of Oakland, where he was filming a music video... nobody gave a show like HAMMER!
No drugs that,s way
Mc Hammer is very intelligent and more then that, he’s conscious.. I appreciate the positive impact of his music and his answers during the interview gives me a higher respect for him as a black man.
There will never be another prefomer like him.
Didn't realize this brother was so smart. He has a good mind...strange how things work out. Hammer might still surprise us all. Glad he is doing well.
I love and respect you Mr MC Hammer. You are a man of integrity.
Hammer paved the way for everyone to get paid in endorsements period.He took a lot of backlash from the haters ...
MC Hammer is one inspirational brother 😎
He always responds positively.... can't no one say he's done anything but !!!! Much respect to Bro MC Hammer ✌💝
Positive roll model we need more of you in this world 🌎 🙏
Never stopped loving this legend ⚘⚘⚘ my teenage years were completed by his music and he inspired me to be a dancer ⚘⚘⚘
Hardest Working Man in Entertainment in his time..thank you Mr Burrell
Hammer is a very intelligent man he just had too big a heart trying to help too many and had to make a change. This interviewer isn't the best, but he is young and since he hasn't been too tainted yet so he isn't pushy or taking over the conversation with answering his own questions and like some loving to hear themselves talk. I think it came across comfortable and i enjoyed hearing what The Hammer had to say.
The person who is giving the interview needs to do a better job in giving the interview. He need to go back and polish up on his questions and stop studdering with the questions.
How many of us that were caught up in the gangster rap culture are now grown and looking back at Hammer like what we thought was a joke was actually a visionary and genius?
I was born and raised in Africa. I remember watching MC Hammer's videos literally everyday on MTV (Pray, can't touch this, and etc) in 1990. On Christmas, my older brother was playing a song, I never heard anything sound wonderful like that...I thought angels were singing lol. It was "Have you seen her". One of favorite songs to this day!!
Hammer smart and wise every rapper owe it to hammer
The Mc Hammer dance was our shit growing up you had to know how to do it bk then💯
Hey interviewer.i think you asked well thought out questions and actually engaged Hammer to speak more about himself, not less. You did this by being quiet and letting him finish his thoughts without interceding with pointless rhetoric. i find that interviewers nowadays cant shut their trap longenough to allow the person being interviewed to conclude a complete thought without chiming in to interrinterrupt.
i surmise this is because it hurts their pretentious ego's to hear the sound of any one elses voice other than their own. U did good. Cheers
Agreed
I will NEVER forget the OPPORTUNITY to sit in the front row at an MC Hammer show. The magic of his movements, the choreography, the production AND he handed out roses to us OMG, what heart, mind and spirit this gentleman has in addition to being a true showman....Nothing like it and I saw Prince...bless him, he was my heart. I saw MJ...magnificent bless him. Always appreciate what he brought to my life through his music but MC Hammer...Come on people, let's lift this legend up. Come on JZ, Diddy do something REAL special for this man because he wanted to and still wants to UPLIFT humanity.
Get Hammer on The Breakfast Club now! !
Tavion Kizz I would rather see Hammer on ...Big Boy, Sway, Nardwar or B High from ATL ...Charla Magne is to disrespectful and Yee gonna ask about his wife.
Akhnaton I know Charlamagne knows Hammer's background, & how he ain't to be play with, so I think he'd be respectful
B high needs to interview him asap
Yeeeeesssss!!!!
Uncle Hammer, that's my dawg 💯 Bay Area Legend
LEGENNNND!!!!!
James Brown...Michael Jackson.....Prince.......
Hammer.
Last of the greats!!!!
Mc Hammer is a Legend 👍🌎💯 Respect to Oak Town 357
ALWAYS POSITIVE
Mc hammer should be running for president he is really a smart guy
He got my vote
Ugmm yea he's a little smart I guess but President? Lol!!!!! Lol!!!u must be hammered lol!!!
All while Kanye was talking about running for president, I was saying if any rapper should run for president, it should be MC Hammer. He's more presidential, trustworthy, and positive.
MC Hammer You truly represent Oakland in the best manner. Whenever you stand for Truth there is always a cross you must bear. You are bearing your cross well. My love and best wishes to you and your family and continue to represent Oaktown in the best manner.PEACE
I love Hammer still looking good glad to see you,
Don't hustle backwards.😎😎😎 Most intelligent concept iv heard in a while, or description of a concept.🤓 Dude is real!!! 💯🤍💣👌
I always admired MC Hammer when I was a kid.
Put Hammer on Drinks Champs
Anthony Johnson deadass
Nore gonna over talk everyone
It's so good to see a legend alive and well. MC Hammer!!!
Keep god first my brother. Don’t let the things of this world distract your mind. Stay mentally strong. Without God you are Lost.
An absolute undisputed BOSS.
Not a bad word can be said about this man.
The Youngest Executive Vice President . Y’all missed that part 💯💯💯🙌🙌
Definitely
Right
Lol. That was not a real job title!! The owner called him that because he was a cute kid dancing outside the stadium who got a job as a ball boy.
FIRST TIME I SEE HIM SINCE I WATCHED AT 90': 2 LEGIT, CANT TOUCH THIS..I NEVER FORGET HIM
"I wanted to create positive music as an escape from a negative environment."
I respect you for that, Hammer.
Eff what other people say. I found your music incredibly enjoyable ever since I was a kid, and to know that you were inspired by MJ and JB...?
The same man who said that also sent The Cribs for MC Serch for dissing him in a song. Fuck the Hammer.
Redman and MC Serch knows that hammer ain’t no punk. 💯💯
And cube. Lots of rappers knew not to fuck with him
Hammer The Best !!! Love From Malaysia

Pumps and a bump one of mah favorite ...... OG Hammer...... love from Australia
There's No Hip Hop Entertainer On Earth Like MC Hammer. None! 👑 💯
One of the Greats ( Mc Hammer) Smart Man !
Give the interviewer a break. This is a legend he respects and he's excited and probably a bit star struck and nervous. There are many people out there btw who supported Hammer and never gave up on him even when many of us did. Yeah I said us because when I was a kid in first and second grade I had his albums and yes I road the band wagon for a few years. Much respect Hammer you are still doing it and many rappers even your own city always had respect for you. Even the ones that dissed you and didn't want none after you confronted them. They dared not to dis you again huh?! Real talk... #DONTHURTEMHAMMER!
Number1WuFan exactly! Not sure why so many comments are focused on hating this interviewer... he's an Oakland native #1 so I can see how he's a bit nervous interviewing a legend like hammer... people are crazy for the disrespect.
Birdpoop Daddy I got 22s
Regardless of being star struck, he should’ve still been professional. He needs more practice before interviewing on this platform. Donnie Simpson was a fan of many and didn’t sound like this.
I agree! He did a good job in my opinion! The best thing he did was not interrupting the guest!
Hammer and Tupac have that same husky sounding voice sound I allways thought not rhymes just the voice!
Yep
The OG
For those of you kids who was born in the mid 90s to the early 2000s and ain't old enough to know Hammer was that nigga in the early 90s. The things y'all see rappers doing today like cartoons, shoe deals, endorsements etc. Hammer started that shit!
Ro'Shaun Goolsby Can you please just turn your Nostalgia glasses off i mean i'm born in 2002 and yet i know Kiss,ACDC, Backstreet boys, N.W.A, Gilette, Michael Jackson's 1989 songs and Prince.
So what is your point??
FBI America Yeah exactly I wasn't born in the 60s or 70s but I know genres of music from that era. Just as well as the 80s. I was speaking generally not directly to you
FBI America What's crazy is the year you was born I was just starting high school probably like you are this year
Ro'Shaun Goolsby I understand.
You can tell he's been taking care of himself.
Those shades are 🔥
I loved all his music as kid and I still do at 41
Regardless of what people said about Hammer that dude was the biggest thug of em all he was putting hits out on dude's while making hit music
DJ Gary humBruh
Yeah Hammer was no punk.
DJ Gary His brother was G, and was street certified
Is that something to be proud of???
Yep. Some crazy shit
I Love him.
I sold MC hammer a Apple Computer at ComputerWare in Pleasanton
Tell us more!!!
🎩🎩🎩🎩🎩🎩🎩🎩
his mind is sharp
Legend is right! Good man ❤️
And he still looks GREAT!
God blessings to you Hammer
that dude age really good.
Really great interview! It's refreshing to hear smart people being allowed to actually consider their thoughts and speak. MC Hammer has usually been framed as a kind of pop culture caricature of himself. This interview gives him space enough to let his intellect shine through. He comes across as considerate, wise, and intelligent. Love it!
Hammer Is A Eagle, You're a Dove!
Hammer the Goat 🔥🐐
this is a great interview by the way. much praise Hammer!
The cartoon! I forgot about that.
PEACE 🙏 brother & YOUR BETTER half & family's 🙏 passing BY THANKS for sharing. & the owner of THIS channel
Much respect!!!........100 SALUTE
I watched Bobby Brown's interview on People, and now this one. Podcasts are revolutionary, mainstream media wouldn't dare. I'd thought that my brothers were down and out, as had been led to believe.
LONG LIVE MC.HAMMER!!
I love Hammer. Great role model!!
Not too many ppl in the game I’ve respected more than Hammer!
Luv 💯💯appreciate the Advice
Great video of a hip hop legend
LOVE Hammer!!!! One of the GOATS of entertainment!!!
Mc Hammer carried well over 50 people on his payroll even after he wasn't hot anymore. He had his hands in investments with Silicon Valley back in the 90's. He invested way early in IT companies like Twitter and TH-cam. He's always been before his time. Plus, Oaktown's greatest Hip Hop Legends like E-40 and Too Short still have respect for him...which is all that matters.
I been watching hammer since a kid I never seen him smoke or drink all he promote was good life and dance hard god bless hammer
He actually does look a bit like Hank Aaron.
I'm glad he spoke on zolof it's in the tap water in my city of Philly!
MC Hammer was a genius in his Music creativity and the way he Marketed himself. Hip Hop artist try dissing Hammer but at the end of the day.. YOU CANT DIS HIM ..More Rappers should Aspire to be like MC Hammer.. he also gave back to his Community.. many rappers today don’t do that.. MC Hammer Gets RESPECT 4EVER 🤙🏾❤️
PUT SOME RESPECT ON HIS NAME.
Hamner 2020
Thumbs up for a new hammer album!!!!!!
Still lookin like he's 27.
Nah he look 35
@@Bryan-bd5kc Stop man, I'd say early 40 max. 45
No 27 or 30 he looks very young
Hammer immortal ♾❇
Ok Ok, he looks good for his age! Bam!
The youngest executive Vice President
I truly enjoyed this interview! I always loved hammer & never really knew about his humble beginnings. Great testimony! And Hank is fine.😍
Hammer did so much for the culture!!!!Thank you sir 👏 for your music and your message.
This is truly the brother who kicked down the door so that all of these Rappers making millions today can earn what they earn.Hammer had crossover appeal and that in and of itself brought the Big Bucks... each of these Rich Rappers today not only oh him a debt of gratitude,but a million dollars each 😮
Love MC Hammer but the interviewer needs a little work 🤔🤔
I was thinking the same thing!!!
He needs a lot! How about i and u give him a good kick in the ass to get him started? (lol) 😀
Queen Leo from the 502 I like interviewers that let the guest do all the talking
Queen Leo from the 502 😂 he do need sum work tho
Queen Leo from the 502 give the brother a chance ...gotta crawl before u walk lol
IM FROM DOMINICAN REPUBLIC AND I ALAWYS LIKE HAMMER's MUSIC AND THOSE VIDEOS.
I’ll always have love for hammer. His was the first album I ever bought as a kid.
