*It wasn't recommended, we searched for* *this classic! R.I.P Prince❤️*
Assassinated by Warner Brothers after he bought out his Ownership Royalties.
Hammer is such a solid dude. He took care of so many people and tried to uplift his community. I'm glad more people are appreciating him as time passes.
😊😊😊😊
😊😊😊😊😊😊
This man opened so many doors. Definitely needs to get more credit.
SO TRUE,I ACTUALLY MET HIM AT BIRMINGHAM AFTER A CONCERT,TOP MAN
Agreed!!!
Thank goodness we
I feel bad for how the music industry played him and he was too nice and giving to too many people
So true. If people are to be honest it was MC Hammer and this song that gave birth to that Hip Hop gospel vibe. People like Kirk Franklin rode in on the wave that MC Hammer created.
They would never play this jam on the radio today. Ever.
They lame
Todays Woke radio would would only play this song if “Pray” was changed to “Gay” SMH!!! #Disgraceful
IKR??
@@macman2141LOL sad but so true! This world has become very sick!
You aint lyin, Mac
This might be the most positive rap video ever.
The most delusional. Great track despite
David Wallace haah, yea you're right
+Joseph Pawlowski Naw. Check out www.dailymotion.com/video/xu2k0_sliders-library-rap_music
+Scott Imbeau haha, surprised i never saw that before
+Joseph Pawlowski From when Sliders was a good show.
I remember, this album on cassette in 1990 , i was 10 years old . Thanks dad for this album. Today 42 still ❤🔥
Lol I just bought his cassette last week
And I've been blasting it everyday all day.🙌🙌👏👏
SAme situation. Just my mom bought this for my Bday 1990 :D
We had the movie on VHS, and watched so much ❤❤😂
Me too. I still have this cassette from India. Released on HMV STCS EST 2120 by Saregama India Ltd..
I remember to wish my dad was still alive
Listening to this in 2020🙏🏽 lord remove this corona virus 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I totally agree Kellie
Amen
Amen and amen again
Amen
Amen through day and night
I never thought one of the songs I used to laugh and make fun of as child growing up would be one of the most endearing .. motivating .. dear to my ❤️.. loving songs I listen to. I love you Jesus. You are my SAVIOR!! 🙏🏾
Amen
Many compliments for your sobriety!
@@mynickisrick1478 Thank You Rick !! Many blessings to you my friend 🙏🏾
I'm with you. This hits the heart.
Now THAT’s Solid!!
Prince Definitely LOVED this dude cause he never let anybody else rap over his music Hammer the only one...
Jay Skywalker Not heard this in years , recognised prince sample strAight away. X
😂😂😂😂😂 Prince sued him
@@cedricluckett6345 No he didn't! He sanctioned the sample. Look it up!
Prince/hammer👊🏿✊🏿✊🏾👊🏽🖐
Wrong Cedric Prince LOVED this dude... hammer actually recorded please Hammer don't hurt em album at Paisley Park
1 of the VERY few songs that prince has ever let someone sample.
Prince wrote "Pray", didn't he? Think Hammer stayed with him for months producing the album...
@@Bluearmy76 "Pray" samples "When Doves Cry" by Prince
@@kutmusic no wonder that beat was extremely familiar, it was "when doves cry" from Prince.
Hammer was a very big deal back in the day
very true
One of the reasons why I love this song is because he sampled “When Doves Cry.” It’s my favorite Prince song. The fact that he’s talking about praying is icing on the cake.
mine too.
Its one of the few songs prince allowed to sample
@@adonaiyah2196 Yeah. I know he didn’t let many artists sample him.
@@MrBean617 barely any
I can finally have my cake and eat it!🍰
I swear, this song is AHEAD OF ITS TIME!!!!!
Prince was laughing ALL the way to bank getting the residuals off this song from his "When Dove's Cry" sample. "Pray" was apart of a body of work that made rap history. "Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em" was the VERY first Hip-Hop album to go Diamond. Legendary work! #Salute to Hammer #RIP Prince.
I was a little girl about 6 or 7 years old. A SUPER FAN OF MC HAMMER still is. But this song still needs to be played.
This message will never get old! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Amen
U Know you the Man when you get Prince to give you the ok on his sample😳 Gotta Love Hammer-Man😍🦸🏾♂️🥰🕺🏿
On God 🙏
I love 90s rap songs that sample 80s pop songs
R.I.P. Prince Rogers Nelson
Folks can say what they want but Hanmer was tooooo cold in his day.
2 Legit 2 Quit!
He appears to be very grateful to the Source of his success!
We still love hammer in the bay
Most Definitely
"Hammer, "Too Legit to Quit"😀
#GOD'SCREATION777🇺🇸
Power in Prayer is real!
The world needs you back, Hammer. Your positivity can move mountains.
They didn't listen back then they dam sure ain't gone listen now😅🤣🤣

Thank you Hammer for giving us a reason to believe
When RAP had MEANING..
Happy birthday MC! 62nd
R.i.P. Prince. Since he was credited for this song as well since Hammer sample When Doves Cry.
and he was credited in "Soft and wet" which is a cover. MC Hammer is/was clearly a fan.
Spitfirethedragon yes indeed....both very talented musicians!
Yeah, so both of those songs are omitted from the album on Spotify. Since Prince doesn't do streaming. Ugh.
Price wrote it.
@@bernardqblack Prince wrote when doves cry only. Hammer wrote the rap
This song is needed more than ever in 2019!!!🙌🏾🙏🏾❤️
Yes,,Amen to that ❤🙏❤
I agree 100% thank you for saying this ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
#truth
Amen.
such a divided nation..............those who have and those who dont. Money and greed.
We need to pray to make it in these times of uncertainty.
I remember my dad jamming out to this on his mix tape with all the late 80s, early 90s bangers anywhere we went in the car. Never knew this would be my shit decades later. Typical black dad experience, left my moms, never came to see us but I grew into an adult and forgave him for leaving me, my sister and mom and now we have a great relationship.
We need to pray just to make it today.
The problem was not in the right music, but in the wrong attitudes of that father. Glad you forgave him! God is this.😉
You thrived, man if you survived this! Glory to God for overcoming that nightmare! Forgive and forget! Love is the key...hate is a dead end!
💕✨🕊️🕎👑✝️Amen⛪🇮🇱💒🤗🌼🍀👨👩👧👦🍱💕🛐
Wow, congratulations that you chose peace !
Such a powerful message in this song... We certainly need to pray, give thanks and ask God to help us to make it today!!!
Thank you LORD FOR MY FUTURE WIFE ESPERAZA STEWART AND HAVE A SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE AND A SUCCESSFUL JOBS
@真珠の母 With the scriptures, trusting his word, and holding god to his promises, by his love and through his Grace!!!

We need to Pray just to make it today!!!!!
Our payers!!!!!!!
No, we don't. Religion the #1 cause for the bad things happening in the world today, along with greed.
Amen
@@kyrkosekaterinaris1328 yep ur spot on,majority of religions n all politics continues 2 ruin th world n our lifes.
@@kyrkosekaterinaris1328 religion vs. Faith
The message in his songs was always positive, uplifting.
I still say this today! We got to pray, just to make it today! Hallelujah Thank You Lord!!
Old school music needs to return it's the best music ever.
This ain't old school it's just good music
@@sheryldonnell6455it is old school, u dont think 34 year old song is old school, what’s wrong with u😂😂
This never gets old. Love this song. We got to pray, Amen.
Dimensions EVERYDAY!
💗 AMEN 🕊️
@Dimensions Amen.
And i am not even religious, but still.
really...im 3 minutes in and sick of the same lines over and over already
I pray to God save the world from corona
A very relevant song on any level right about NOW!
This song is relevant as back then as today!
Here......th-cam.com/video/sluNuVp2_TE/w-d-xo.html
"PRAY" is right up there with any hip hop classic!!
Who could sample Prince's classic song, "When Doves Cry?!"
And make it sound like Fire🔥, with a religious message?! 🙏 Who else, but MC Hammer!!🔨
Prince NEVER licensed his music to anyone when he was alive!!
But he let MC Hammer sample this classic 25X Platinum selling song,
from the "Purple Rain" soundtrack !!💜
Rest In Peace, Prince!! 🙏 🤲
It Still bumps on my playlist in 2022!! MC Hammer absolutely "Killed" that sample!!
Very underrated!
But its still definitely DOPE!!
I blasted the heck out of his cassette tape back in the day.
I bought it yesterday in a thrift shop for 50 cents 😁
😂😂😂
@@absolutelyjaxson5147 Don't laugh. I'll embarrass you in a dance contest lol.
Me too :) Greetings from Hungary, i was a little girl.
Me too💯💯💯💯💯memories😢
This is the anthem for these turbulent times
Great song and wonderful inspiration any time. Bless you MC Hammer.
Seeing at the violence in Oakland at the time. He had a full movie I use to have it on VHS
I remember some blk ppl used to talk about and clown Hammer cause he used merchandising (smart) and had "soft" messages. Sometimes we're our own worst enemy. Look at this talented positive brother!!
You're aware of where he ended up financially, this guy you're calling "smart" about financial matters right? might want to google that bro. Praying for ya!
He’s great. He kept it positive in a sea of destructive messages. Legend.
And then when he went hardcore to appease black people and not be a SELLOUT...sales tanked
kmike1976 he wasn’t a sellout
kmike1976 agreed
just thinking about the times we are living in. This song is so needed
What times are we living in? What makes you say we need to pray more than ever?
It is amazing that this was the culture being taught to kids. Then gansta rap took over, crime and drugs became cool. Now, rap is trash. Musically, MC Hammer was mediocre, but at least it promoted quality living.
No, it's not.
Krystal Smith amen!
More true now than ever.
We need to pray just to make it today ......Amen !!!!!
Damn....Hammer was my guy back in the day. People can say what they want but he was a good dude that took care of his people until the wheels fell off. He'll be paid back for it in this life or the next 🙏🏾.
We jam to this in church ⛪ I didn’t know this song was real!
If you didn't know it was real, then what were you jamming to in church?
fjvideo the choir 😜 u heathen
Yep this a classic
@Lil Van Damme That was Sir Mix-A-Lot that was rapping about butts while standing on an inflatable butt. Different person altogether.
"We're sending this one out to the Lord/We thank you and we know we need to pray/All the blessings that are good, they comin' from above/And once again we wanna say thank you to the Lord with all our love."
Amen to that🙏😇❤
Sacandar
Let's go
???
Amen, Thanks Be to God 🙏
I am an atheist and I still like this song. If a belief in God helps some people's lives I have no problems with it. Any song with a positive message, especially in hip hop, is a good one.
Thank you for being a person willing to live and let live. Fewer people these days seem to be able to do that. As a Christian, the Bible tells me that He gave us humans the freedom to make this decision for ourselves. Thank you once again, and I wish youthe best!
GOD IS THE truth. Just seek HIM, pray and ask JESUS CHRIST to reveal HIMSELF to you and I PROMISE HE will.
@@nix420stuntd7 I did this for 15 years and never got anything. I didnt pray for good things to happen, or to get out of something. I only prayed for a sign or something that showed God was in my life. Nothing ever happened. Thus me being an atheist now.
@@hubertbarrett3934 Men have been claiming this since the beginning of time. Its not the last days. Any man claiming it is is blasphemous.
@@hubertbarrett3934 It is an english word, anyone can use it. More over, I was referencing that term in the context of you being a believer and in turn that kind of thing having meaning to you. I am an atheist but there was a time when I wasn't and I clearly remember the part of the Bible that said no Earthly man will know when the second coming is going to occur. There was also a part about false prophets being bad. All that should matter to you as a believer in Christianity.
I say WE PRAY JUST TO MAKE IT TODAY and for things to get back to normal. 🙏🙏🙏
Hammer says... Thanks Prince...
Thank the Lord for you Hammer, cuz you carried on praying and guess what, you millionaire once again! Just keep on praying... Amen!
During this pandemic the song works on several levels. Firstly, we do all need to pray to seek salvation from this virus. Secondly, the video is awesome, with the amazing visuals! Thirdly, hammer pants seem soooo comfortable! Last of all....this is what it sounds like when doves cry!!
The Sound = Prince When Doves Cry
One of the greatest moments in hip hop. Ever.
PARA MI ESTE ES LA MEJOR CANCION DE MC HAMMER, LLENA DE MENSAJES BUENOS, LLENA DE RITMO, LLENA DE ESPERANZA, UN GENIO
WORD!!!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 Hammer and his dancers were da BOMB 💣 👌
Hammer was a real one back then, he hid it well.
His best song/performance of his career .❤️
Gfunk stuff is his best
Music.
I remember when I first heard this song as a kid, it stuck with me!
And as I grew older here we are in 2022, & I understand why!
COVID, gang violence at an all time high, death is right around the corner literally.
WE NEED TO PRAY 🙏🏾 JUST TO MAKE IT TODAY!!
THANK GOD FOR GIVING MC HAMMER 🔨 THE GIFT TO CREATE SUCH A POWERFUL MESSAGE 📝
God bless you Hammer . Make more music for the Lord man!
We have to pray just to make it today! AMEN
I just listened to this song for the first time in many, many years...I finally understand its significance & for that I am very thankful
Daily vibe especially during this Corona pandemic WE GOT TO PRAY🙏🏿 JUST TO MAKE IT TODAY/4EVER

See how time flies, thank God for advanced technology we can view this whenever we want to✌️
We Definitely Need To Pray Today!
When I went back to college after many years, this song by MC Hammer became my mantra!!! When the semester was over, the Lord blessed me to make all A's, a 4.0 and to be on the Dean List. I prayed for myself, for wisdom, knowledge and a good understanding and for the teachers, students and all on the campus. Yes, we got to pray to God for His help, just to make it today!!!
Had nothing to do with "the lord" was all down to YOU studying hard. Give yourself some damn credit smdh
Amen, too bad this country and the whole doesnt do more praying. And only then we will all make it.
Yeah, sure. God doesn't have time to cure children with cancer no matter how much their families pray, but your prayers got you A's. Awesome.
Helen McCoy-Price
Awesome, awe-inspiring may God continue to bless you....we need to pray for ALL the negative feedback on this thread, they need wisdom knowledge and understanding.
You prayed, prayed, you prayed just to make it that day.
God bless you!
This song is such a positive message to our community and our society as a whole. It was needed then and it is greatly needed now. Amen let us all pray 🙏🙏🙏
Bangs even harder in 2021 🙏🏿
Hammers rise was meteoric. This shit still slaps 👏🏿
At my summer camp we sing this before every prayer.Best.Summer.Camp.Ever.
Make this great again
Blasted this in high school on my walkman back in 1990 😀👍🏻

@@havefaith7016 ok sorry 🤣just thought id take a trip down memory lane 🤣👍🏻
2020 Quarantined in for the corona virus. I had to play this. I really miss the 90s era. But this song is still relevant today.

But its still definitely DOPE!!
Pray is sampling when doves cry... Prince was happy, MC was happier and all early age rappers were delighted...me to
I cried. I played this repeatedly as a kid and don’t fully comprehend them but as life moved on the enemy def was attacking me bcuz of my spiritual connections.
This is still a awesome jam.👍
I still love this song, and yes I do pray😇
Wow, what can I say about M.C Hammer?
What a cool guy he was to me growing up as a young teenager in the 90s, and we all loved his music and his positive message.
I believe this man really made a difference, and what an anointed song that was.
We need more musicians like him now more than ever.
M.C Hammer was the man!
Praise be to Jesus for him and this song!
Much love to you all from New-Zealand!
Love the influence of Prince in this.
It's 2015 and I still love this shit. Hammer will always be good in my opinion.
Hammer, Bo Jackson, Sega Genesis, and Ninja Turtles were my goddamn childhood.
still in 2017 :) PRAAAAAAAY !!!!
Even 'The Funky Headhunter' was a good album.
True Hip Hop For Life Man.
It's 2021 y'all: love this song!! One of those joints my boi Prince allowed someone to use majority of his song to create a new joint. Mad respects to Prince & Hamma for workin together...shout out to & all praise to Farher God💜💜💜💯💯💯
Love this song ; Who said hip hop couldn't be used for righteousness . I loved the song in the 90's when I was a teen and listening to this fills me with joy even though all hell is breaking out in the world . Hammer was definitely in tune with the Holy Spirit when he made this song . I never realized it until today that he incorporated another deep song When Doves Cry ; get it when Jesus was baptized the Holy Spirit was likened to a dove. That is why Hammer was targeted by other rappers with mocking lyrics because he was just to righteous for the industry ; God bless Hammer and the whole Hammer tribe and thanks for giving us this jewel which is still raising spirits 30 yrs later.

Preach MC Hammer, Preach!
Vaughn Baskin I can't say he was lyrical but I can say his lyrics have purpose for our community thanks hammer
This song along with do not pass me by, and DMX's Jesus loves me and Lord give me a sign are powerful praises. These are the songs that should be play all the time. Not only in time of crisis, but for all times.
How this message rings true in the times of today!!! We need prayer to the Lord above.
MC HAMMER SERVED NOTICE WITH THE SAMPLING OF DOVES CRY BY PRINCE......MAN I JAMMED THIS BACK IN THE DAY AND EVEN TODAY 18 AUGUST 2016....
Continued into 11 August 2019.

YEAHYAAA!!! LOVE THIS MAN. LOL
Thanks MC Hammer for this song. It's a everyday song, especially during these Convid-19 days. Stay safe y'all 🙏💯❤️
Hammer had moves in the video
...this is what it sounds like when doves cry...
+Августовское воодушевление LOLLOLLOLLOLLOL! I just wrote that in my review. Ha!
Doves fly not cry. 😎Jh
Algum brasileiro que ama essa música???
@@marcelomelo5003 Eu gosto mas não amo.
@@gerihenson683 actually, they do both. I feed all the wildlife in my back yard. One dove lost it's mate, died in my backyard. One brokenhearted dove morned in my yard the rest of that day.
Ahhhh the 90s
Just barely. This album was released in February 1990. To me this sounds more like 80s hip hop too.
2020.... Before Kanyê there was The Hammer, MC Hammer that is....❤💯💪🏾
2021 still praying to make it today! 😍
.."In Jesus Name.Amen."🙏🏼🇺🇸🌎🇵🇷🙌🏼
