Stanley Kirk Burrell (born March 30, 1962), better known by his stage name MC Hammer (or simply Hammer), is an American rapper, entrepreneur, and actor. He had his greatest commercial success and popularity from the late 1980s until the mid-1990s. Remembered for a rapid rise to fame before filing bankruptcy, Hammer is also known for his hit records (such as "U Can't Touch This"), flamboyant dance movements and trademark Hammer pants. Hammer's superstar-status made him a household name and pop icon.[1] He has sold more than 50 million records worldwide.[2]
Burrell also became a preacher during the late 1990s, was a television show host and dance judge, is a record label CEO, and as of 2008 works as a co-creator of a dance website called DanceJam, while still performing concerts at music venues and assisting with other social media, ministry and outreach functions. In addition, he was executive producer of his own reality show called Hammertime which aired on the A&E Network during the summer of 2009.[3][4] Prior to becoming ordained, Hammer signed with Suge Knight's Death Row Records by 1995.
M.C. Hammer is considered a "forefather" and innovator[5] of pop rap, and is the first hip hop artist to achieve diamond status for an album.[6][7][8][9] Hammer was later considered a sell-out rapper due in part to over-exposure and as a result of his increasingly gritty image as the landscape of rap changed.[10][11] Nonetheless, BET ranked Hammer as the #7 "Best Dancer Of All Time".[12] Vibe's "The Best Rapper Ever Tournament" declared him the 17th favorite of all-time during the first round.[13]
Throughout his career, Hammer has managed his own recording business. As a result, he has created and produced his own acts including Oaktown's 3.5.7, Common Unity, Special Generation, Analise, One Cause One Effect, Teabag, Dom Kimberley, Geeman, Pleasure Ellis, B Angie B, Stooge Playaz, Ho Frat Ho[14] and Wee Wee, among others. A part of additional record labels, he has associated/collaborated/recorded with VMF, Tupac Shakur, Teddy Riley, Felton Pilate, Tha Dogg Pound, Deion Sanders, Big Daddy Kane and Jon Gibson, as well as others. In 1992, Doug E. Fresh was signed to M.C. Hammer's Bust It Records label.
Early life[link]
Stanley Kirk Burrell was born in Oakland, California as the adopted son of a nightclub manager and a police department assistant. He grew up poor with his mother, a secretary, and eight siblings in a small apartment in East Oakland. The future rapper recalled that six children were crammed into a three-bedroom housing project apartment. Early in life his siblings thought he was androgynous. The young Burrell sold stray baseballs and danced with a beatbox at the Oakland Coliseum parking lot to earn money for games sometimes. Oakland A's team owner Charles O. Finley saw the 11-year-old doing splits and hired him as a clubhouse assistant and batboy as a result of his energy and flair.[5][15]
Burrell served as a "batboy" with the team from 1973 to 1980. In 2010, Hammer discussed his life-long involvement with sports athletes on ESPN's First Take as well as explained that his brother Louis Burrell (who would later become Hammer's business manager)[16][17] was actually the batboy while his job was to take calls and do "play-by-plays" for the A's absentee owner during every summer game.[18] The colorful Finley, who lived in Chicago,[5] used the child as his "eyes and ears."[19] Reggie Jackson, in describing Burrell's role for Finley, took credit for his nickname:
Hell, our chief executive, the guy that ran our team, uh, that communicated [with] Charlie Finley, the top man there, was a 13-year old kid. I nicknamed him "Hammer," because he looked like Hank Aaron.[19]
Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Pedro Garcia may also have given Burrell the nickname "Little Hammer" due to his resemblance to Aaron.[5] Ron Bergman, at the time an Oakland Tribune writer who covered the A's, recalled that:
He was an informant in the clubhouse, an informant for Charlie, and he got the nickname "Pipeline."[19]
According to Hammer:
Charlie said, "I'm getting you a new hat. I don't want you to have a hat that says "A's" on it. I'm getting you a hat that says 'Ex VP,' that says 'Executive Vice President.' You're running the joint around here." ... Every time I come down to the clubhouse, you know, Rollie would yell out "Oh, everybody be quiet! Here comes Pipeline!"[19]
He acquired the nickname "M.C." for being a "Master of Ceremonies" which he used when he began performing at various clubs while on the road with the A's, and eventually in the military.[5]
Hammer, who played second base in high school, dreamed of being a professional baseball player but did not make the final cut at a San Francisco Giants tryout.[5] However, he has now become a regular participant/player in the annual Taco Bell All-Star Legends and Celebrity Softball Game wearing an A's cap to represent Oakland (American League).[20][21][22]
Burrell went on to graduate from high school in Oakland and took undergraduate classes in communications. Discouraged by his studies at a local college and failing to win a place in a professional baseball organization, Hammer considered the drug trade.[5] Instead he joined the Navy[5] for three years, serving with Patron (Patrol Squadron) Forty Seven (VP-47) of Moffett Field in Mountain View, California as a Petty Officer Third Class Aviation Store Keeper (AK3) until his honorable discharge.[23]
Music career[link]
Before his mainstream career and "rags-to-riches-to-rags-and-back saga",[24] Burrell formed Christian rap music group Holy Ghost Boys, producing songs called "Word", "B-Boy Chill"[25] and later releasing "This Wall"[26] (it was within the lyrics of this song that Burrell first identified himself as M.C. Hammer)[27][28] with CCM's Jon Gibson (or "J.G.").[29] This rap hit appeared on Gibson's album Change of Heart,[30] and "Son of the King" showed up on Hammer's debut album Feel My Power (1987), as well as the updated version Let's Get It Started (1988).[31][32][33]
With exception to later remixes of early releases, Hammer produced and recorded many rap songs that were never made public, yet are now available on the Internet.[34] Via his record labels such as Bust It Records, Oaktown Records and FullBlast, Hammer has introduced, signed and produced new talent including Oaktown's 3.5.7, Ho Frat Ho,[35] the vocal quintet Special Generation, Analise,[36] James Greer,[37] One Cause One Effect,[5] B Angie B, The Stooge Playaz,[38][39] DASIT (as seen on ego trip's The (White) Rapper Show),[40] Teabag, Common Unity, Geeman[41] and Pleasure Ellis;[42] both collaborating with him and producing raps of their own during his career.[43][44]
At about the age of 12, Oakland native Keyshia Cole recorded with Hammer and sought career advice from him.[45][46][47][48]
[edit] Feel My Power (1987)
Main article: Feel My Power
In the mid-80s while rapping in small venues and after a record deal went sour, Hammer borrowed US$20,000 each from former Oakland A's players Mike Davis and Dwayne Murphy to start a record label business called Bust It Productions.[5] He kept the company going by selling records from his basement and car. Bust It spawned Bustin' Records, the independent label of which Hammer was CEO. Together, the companies had more than 100 employees.[5] Recording singles and selling them out of the trunk of his car, he marketed himself relentlessly. Coupled with his dance abilities, Hammer's style was unique at the time.
Now billing himself as "M.C. Hammer", he recorded his debut album, Feel My Power, which was produced between 1986–1987 and released independently in 1987 on his Oaktown Records label (Bustin').[49] It was produced by Felton Pilate (of Con Funk Shun), and sold over 60,000 copies and was being distributed by City Hall Records. In the spring of 1988, a DJ played the track "Let's Get It Started" — a song in which he declared he was "...second to none, from Doug E. Fresh, LL Cool J, or DJ Run" — after which the track began to gain popularity in clubs. (He would continue to call out other East Coast rappers in future projects as well.)
Hammer also released a single called "Ring 'Em", and largely on the strength of tireless street marketing by Hammer and his wife, it achieved considerable popularity at dance clubs in the San Francisco Bay Area. Heartened by his rising prospects, Hammer launched into seven-day-a-week rehearsals with the growing troupe of dancers, musicians, and backup vocalists he had hired. It was Hammer's stage show, and his infectious stage presence, that led to his big break in 1988 while performing in an Oakland club. There he impressed a record executive who "didn't know who he was, but knew he was somebody", as was quoted as saying in the New Rolling Stone Encyclopedia of Rock & Roll.
M.C.Hammer had received several offers from major record labels before (which he initially declined due to his personal success), but after the successful release of this independent album and elaborate live dance show amazed the Capitol Records executive, Hammer agreed to sign a record deal soon after. Hammer took home a US$1,750,000 advance and a multi-album contract, which did not take long for Capitol to recoup its investment.[15]
[edit] Let's Get It Started (1988)
Main article: Let's Get It Started (album)
Once signed to Capitol Records, Hammer re-issued his first record (a revised version of Feel My Power) with additional tracks added and sold over 2 million copies. "Pump It Up", "Turn This Mutha Out", "Let's Get It Started" and "They Put Me in the Mix" were the most popular singles from this album which all charted. But not quite satisfied with this first multi-platinum success, Hammer's music underwent a metamorphosis, shifting from the standard rap format in his upcoming album. "I decided the next album would be more musical," he says. Purists chastised him for being more dancer than rapper. Sitting in a leopard-print bodysuit before a concert, he defended his style: "People were ready for something different from the traditional rap style. The fact that the record has reached this level indicates the genre is growing."[5]
M.C. Hammer was very good friends with Arsenio Hall, as well as a then-unknown teen named Robert Van Winkle (aka Vanilla Ice) - despite later rumors that there was a "beef" between the two rappers which was addressed during the height of their careers on Hall's show[50] - who he would later reunite with in a 2009 concert in Salt Lake City, Utah.[51] Therefore, Hammer was first invited to perform the song "U Can't Touch This", prior to its release, on The Arsenio Hall Show in 1989.[52] He also performed "Please Hammer, Don't Hurt 'Em", a song that didn't make it on his upcoming album, but did appear in the same-titled movie.
Hammer used some of the proceeds from this album to install a rolling recording studio in the back of his tour bus, where he recorded much of his sophomore effort.[15]
Mainstream Success (1990-1991)[link]
Main article: Please Hammer, Don't Hurt 'Em
Main article: Too Legit to Quit
Notorious for dissing rappers in his previous recordings, Hammer appropriately titled his third album (and second major-label release) Please Hammer, Don't Hurt 'Em,[53] which was released February 12, 1990 (with an original release date of January 1, 1990).[54] It included the successful single "U Can't Touch This" (which sampled Rick James' "Super Freak"). It was produced, recorded, and mixed by Felton Pilate and James Earley on a modified tour bus (while on tour) in 1989.[55] Despite heavy airplay and a #27 chart debut, "U Can't Touch This" stopped at #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart because it was released only as a twelve-inch single.[clarification needed] However, the album was a #1 success for 21 weeks, due primarily to this single, the first time ever for a rap recording on the pop charts. The song has been and continues to be used in many filmmaking and television shows to date, and appears on soundtrack/compilation albums as well.[56]
Follow-up successes included "Have You Seen Her" (a cover of the Chi-Lites) and "Pray" (a beat sampled from Prince's "When Doves Cry" and Faith No More's "We Care a Lot"),[57] hich was his biggest hit in the US, peaking at #2. "Pray" was also a major UK success, peaking at #8. The album went on to become the first hip-hop album to earn diamond status, selling more than 18 million units to date.[6][7][8][9] During 1990, Hammer toured extensively in Europe which included a sold-out concert at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham. With the sponsorship of PepsiCo, PepsiCo International CEO Christopher A. Sinclair went on tour with him during 1991.
The album was notable for sampling other high-profile artists and gave some of these artists a new fanbase. "Dancin' Machine" sampled The Jackson 5, "Help the Children" (also the name of an outreach foundation Hammer started)[58] interpolates Marvin Gaye's "Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)", and "She's Soft and Wet" also sampled Prince's "Soft and Wet". All of these songs proved to be successful on radio and video television, with "U Can't Touch This," "Pray" (most successful), "Have You Seen Her," "Here Comes the Hammer," and "Yo!! Sweetness" (UK only) all charting. The album increased the popularity of hip-hop music. It remains the genre's all-time best-selling album.[59]
At the same time, he also appeared in The West Coast Rap All-Stars posse cut "We're All in the Same Gang." Music videos from this album and the previous albums began to receive much airplay on MTV and VH1. A movie also accompanied the album and was produced at this same time called "Please Hammer, Don't Hurt 'Em: The Movie" along with music videos included within the movie.[60]
A critical backlash began over the repetitive nature of his lyrics, his clean-cut image, and his perceived over-reliance on sampling others' entire hooks for the basis of his singles—criticisms also directed to his contemporary, Vanilla Ice. He was mocked in music videos by 3rd Bass, The D.O.C., DJ Debranz, and Ice Cube. Oakland hip-hop group Digital Underground mocked him in the CD insert of its Sex Packets album when placing his picture in with the other members and referring to him as an unknown derelict. In fact, LL Cool J mocked him in "To tha Break of Dawn," a track on his Mama Said Knock You Out album, calling Hammer an "amateur, swinging a Hammer from a bodybag [his pants]," and saying, "My old gym teacher ain't supposed to rap." (LL Cool J would later compliment and commend Hammer's abilities/talents on VH-1's 100 Greatest Songs of Hip Hop, which aired in 2008). However, Ice-T came to his defense on his 1991 album O.G. Original Gangster: "A special shout out to my man M.C. Hammer: a lot of people dis you, man, but they just jealous." Ice-T later explained that he had nothing against people who were pop-rap from the start, as Hammer had been, but only against emcees who switch from being hardcore or dirty to being pop-rap so that they can sell more records.
Despite the criticisms, Hammer's career continued to be highly successful including tours in Asia, Europe, Australia, and Russia. Soon after, M.C. Hammer Mattel dolls, lunchboxes, and other merchandise were marketed. He was also given his own Saturday morning cartoon, called Hammerman, which he hosted and voiced.[61]
After publicly dropping the "M.C." from his stage name, Hammer released Too Legit to Quit (also produced by Felton Pilate) in 1991. Hammer answered his critics within certain songs from the album. Sales were strong (over five million copies),[62] with the title track being the biggest hit single from this record. The album peaked in the Top 5 of the Billboard 200. Another hit came soon after, with "Addams Groove" (which appeared on both The Addams Family motion picture soundtrack and the vinyl and cassette versions of 2 Legit 2 Quit), reaching #7 in the U.S. and #4 in the UK. His video for the song appeared after the movie.
Hammer set out on a tour for this album, but the stage show had become as lavish as his lifestyle; loaded with singers, dancers, and backup musicians, the supporting concert tour was too expensive for the album's sales to finance, and it was canceled partway through.[63] In 1992, Boyz II Men joined Hammer's high-profile 2 Legit 2 Quit tour as an opening act. While traveling the country, their tour manager Khalil Roundtree was murdered in Chicago, and the group's future performances of "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday" were dedicated to him. As a result of this unfortunate experience, the song would help advance their success.[64]
Music videos were produced for all four singles released from this album (including "Do Not Pass Me By" and "This Is The Way We Roll"), all which charted. The "2 Legit 2 Quit" video featured many celebrity appearances. It's been ranked as one of the most expensive videos ever made.[65] The hand motions used within the song and video also became very popular.[66] The song proved to be successful in the U.S., peaking at the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100, at #5. Despite the album's multi-platinum certification, the sales were one-third of Please Hammer, Don't Hurt 'Em.
At the end of the "Too Legit to Quit" video, after James Brown enlists Hammer to get the famous glove of Michael Jackson, a silver-white sequined glove is shown on the hand of a Michael Jackson look-alike doing the "2 Legit 2 Quit" hand gesture.[66] In a related story, M.C. Hammer appeared on The Wendy Williams Show (July 27, 2009) and talked about his hit reality show Hammertime on A&E, his marriage, his role as a dad and the reasons he eventually went bankrupt. He told an amusing story about a phone call he received from "M.J.", regarding the portion of the "2 Legit 2 Quit" video that included a fake Michael Jackson, giving his approval and inclusion of it. He explained how Michael had seen the video and liked it, and both expressed they were a fan of each others.[67] Hammer and Jackson would later appear, speak and/or perform at the funeral service for James Brown in 2006.[68]
Prior to Hammer's next album (The Funky Headhunter), rumors from critics and fans began claiming Hammer had quit the music/entertainment business and had suffered a financial downfall (since a couple of years pass in between the two records), which Hammer denied at the time.[62]
New venture (Oaktown/Giant) (1992-1993)[link]
Hammer claimed rumors falsely heralded his downfall, probably as a result of the fact he turned over his "trimmed-down" Bust It Records to his brother and manager Louis Burrell, and his horse-racing interests to his brother Chris and his father, Louis Burrell Sr.[62] In the meantime, Hammer, a big sports fan, launched a new enterprise, Roll Wit It Entertainment & Sports Management (which released DRS' two-million-selling "Gangsta Lean") and had clients such as Evander Holyfield, Deion Sanders and Reggie Brooks.[16] During the hiatus between albums, Hammer consequently signed a multimillion-dollar deal with a new record company. He said there were a lot of bidders, but "not too many of them could afford Hammer".[62]
Therefore, Hammer parted ways with Pilate, and switched record labels to Giant Records, taking his Oaktown label with him. Hammer was later sued by Felton Pilate (who had worked with the successful vocal group Con Funk Shun) and by several of his former backers, and faced charges that performance troupe members endured an abusive, militaristic atmosphere.[15] By this time, he also parted ways with his only female executive, Linda Lou McCall, a songwriter and music industry consultant specializing in entertainment marketing, street promotion, and creative development (having worked with Con Funk Shun and The Delfonics previously and artists such as Notorious B.I.G and Eminem afterwards) who signed Keith Martin as a backup musician and vocalist for Hammer.[69]
With a new home, a new daughter, a new record, and a new business, Hammer claimed he was happy and far from being broke during a tour of his mansion for Ebony. "Today there is a more aggressive Hammer, because the '90s require you to be more aggressive", he said of his music. "There is a harder edge, but I'm no gangsta. Hammer in the '90s is on the offense, on the move, on the attack. And it's all good".[70]
[edit] The Funky Headhunter and Death Row Records (1994-1996)
Main article: The Funky Headhunter
Main article: Inside Out (MC Hammer album)
In 1993, Hammer began recording his fifth official album. To adapt to the changing landscape of hip-hop, this album was a more aggressive sounding album entitled The Funky Headhunter. He co-produced this record with funky rapper and producer, Stefan Adamek. While Hammer's appearance changed to keep up with the gangsta rap audience, his lyrics still remained honest and somewhat clean with minor cursing. Yet, as with previous records, Hammer would continue to call out and disrespect other rappers on this album. As with some earlier songs such as "Crime Story" (from the album Please Hammer, Don't Hurt 'Em),[71] the content and reality about "street life" remained somewhat the same, but the sound was different, resulting in Hammer losing favor with fans.[72][73] Nonetheless, this harder-edged, more aggressive record went gold, but failed to win him a new audience among hardcore hip-hop fans.[63]
In another appearance on The Arsenio Hall Show during the mid-1990s, Hammer debuted the video for "Pumps and a Bump". Talk show host Arsenio Hall said to M.C. Hammer, "Women in the audience want to know, what's in your speedos in the 'Pumps and a Bump' video?" A clip from the video was then shown, to much approval from the audience. Hammer didn't give a direct answer, but instead laughed. Arsenio then said, "I guess that's why they call you 'Hammer.' It ain't got nothin' to do with Hank Aaron."[74]
The accompanying video to the album's first single, "Pumps and a Bump", was banned from heavy rotation on MTV with censors claiming that the depiction of Hammer in Speedos (and with what appeared to be an erection) was too graphic.[75][76] This led to an alternative video being filmed (with Hammer fully clothed) that was directed by Bay Area native Craig S. Brooks, who also helmed the video of rap group DRS' only hit single "Gangsta Lean".
"It's All Good" was the second single released, which would become a pop culture phrase as a result of its success.[77] It was also the most successful song by this title. Within this album, Hammer disses rappers such as A Tribe Called Quest (Q-Tip), Redman and Run DMC for previous attacks they made against him on wax. This quite possibly led to a decrease in his popularity after this comeback record responded to his critics.
On December 26, 1994, Deion Sanders released Prime Time, a rap album on Bust It Records (Hammer's label) that featured the minor hit "Must Be The Money". "Prime Time Keeps on Tickin'" was also released as a single. Sanders, a friend of Hammer's, had previously appeared in his "Too Legit to Quit" music video, and his alter-ego "Prime Time" is also used in Hammer's "Pumps and a Bump" video.
The song "Help Lord (Won't You Come)" appeared in Kingdom Come.[78] This album peaked at number two on the R&B charts and remained in the Top 30 midway through the year.[74] To date, it has managed to become certified platinum.
In 1995, Hammer released the album V Inside Out (or inside out V), which critics claimed was unfocused, as it was unclear what genre it was.[citation needed] However, some critics praised the fact it was perhaps intentionally eclectic (combining elements of dance, pop, rap, hip hop, alternative rock and gospel).[79] Nonetheless, the album sold poorly compared to previous records (peaking at 119 on the Billboard Charts) and Giant Records dropped him and Oaktown Records from their roster. Songs "Going Up Yonder" and "Sultry Funk" managed to get moderate radio play (even charting on national radio station countdowns).
Some claimed this album had not sold as well as its predecessors because it was victim of the "crab mentality".[80] Hammer would go on to explain in this album that he felt many of his so-called friends he staffed used and betrayed him which contributed to a majority of his financial loss (best explained in the song "Keep On" and the bio from this album).[81] He would also hint about this again in interviews, including The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2009.[82]
In 1995, Hammer released "Straight to My Feet" (with Deion Sanders) from the Street Fighter soundtrack (released in December 1994). The song charted #57 in the UK.
Hammer's relationship with Suge Knight dates back to 1988. Hammer signed with Death Row Records, then home to Snoop Dogg and his close friend, Tupac Shakur.[11] The label did not release the album of Hammer's music (Too Tight) while he had a career with them (although he did release versions of some tracks on his next album).[83][84] However, Burrell did record tracks with Shakur and others, most notably the song "Too Late Playa" (along with Big Daddy Kane and Danny Boy).[85][86] After the death of Shakur in 1996, Burrell left the record company.[87] He later explained his concern about this circumstance in an interview on Trinity Broadcasting Network since he was in Las Vegas with Tupac the night of his death.[88]
Return to EMI (1996–2000)[link]
In 1996, Burrell and Oaktown signed with EMI, which saw the release of a compilation of Hammer's chart topping songs prior to The Funky Headhunter album. The album, Greatest Hits, featured 12 former hits and was released in October.[89] Since then, several compilation album versions of his "greatest hits" have been produced.
Hammer's empire began to collapse when his last few albums failed to match the sales of its predecessors. Since he unsuccessfully attempted to recast himself in the streetwise "gangsta rap" mold of the day, Hammer turned to a gospel-friendly audience.[15]
In 1998, M.C. Hammer released his first album in his new deal with EMI, titled Family Affair, because it was to introduce the world to the artists he had signed to his Oaktown Records (Geeman, Teabag, and Common Unity) as they made their recording debut. Technically his seventh album since his debut EP, this record was highly promoted on Trinity Broadcasting Network (performing a more gospel version of "Keep On" from his album V Inside Out), but featured no charting singles and selling between about 100,000-500,000 copies worldwide.[90][91] Nonetheless, it did include a song originally by 2Pac that was given to Hammer which he did as a remake on this album called "Unconditional Love".[43] Hammer would later dance and read the lyrics to this song on the first VH1 Hip Hop Honors in 2004.[92][93]
After this album, new projects were rumored to be in the works, including an album (War Chest: Turn of the Century) and a soundtrack to the film Return to Glory: The Powerful Stirring of the Black Man, but neither appeared.[94][95]
[edit] Active Duty (2001)
Main article: Active Duty (MC Hammer album)
Following the September 11, 2001 attacks, M.C. Hammer released his 8th studio album, Active Duty, on his own World Hit Music Group label (the musical enterprise under his Hammertime Holdings Inc. umbrella) to pay homage to the ones lost in the terrorist attacks.[37] The album followed that theme, and featured two singles (with accompanying videos), "No Stoppin' Us (USA)" and "Pop Yo Collar" (featuring Wee Wee) which demonstrates "The Phat Daddy Pop", "In Pop Nito", "River Pop", "Deliver The Pop" and "Pop'n It Up" dance moves.[3][96] The album, like its predecessor, failed to chart and would not sell as many copies as previous projects. Hammer did however promote it on such shows as The View and produced a video for both singles.[97]
This patriotic album, originally planned to be titled The Autobiography Of M.C. Hammer, donated portions of the proceeds to 9/11 charities.[36][37][98] Hammer shot a video for the anthem "No Stoppin' Us (USA)" in Washington, D.C., with several members of the United States Congress, who sang in the song and danced in the video. Present members of the United States House of Representatives included J. C. Watts, Eddie Bernice Johnson, Thomas M. Davis, Earl Hilliard, Alcee Hastings, Rep. Diane Watson (D-Calif.), Rep. Corrine Brown (D-Fla.) and Jesse Jackson, Jr.
[edit] Full Blast (2004)
Main article: Full Blast (album)
After leaving Capitol Records and EMI for the second time in his career, M.C. Hammer decided to move his Oaktown imprint to an independent distributor and released his ninth studio album, Full Blast (which was completed in late 2003 and released as a complete album in early 2004). The album would feature no charting singles and was not certified by the RIAA. A video was produced for "Full Blast", a song that attacks Eminem and Busta Rhymes for previous disrespect towards him.
Some of the original songs didn't end up making the final album release. Guest artists included The Stooge Playaz, Pleasure, Rain, JD, Greer & DasIt.[99]
[edit] Look Look Look (2006)
Main article: Look Look Look
After going independent, he decided to create a digital label to release his tenth studio album, Look Look Look. The album was released in February 2006 and featured production from Scott Storch. The album featured the title-track single (Look Look Look) and a music video. It would sell much better than his previous release (400,000 copies worldwide). "YAY" was produced by Lil Jon. "What Happened to Our Hood?" (featuring Sam Logan) was originally from Active Duty.
"I Got It From The Town" was used in the movie but not present on The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (soundtrack).
Between 2006 and 2007, Hammer released a military-inspired rap song with a political message to President George W. Bush about sending American troops back home from war, called "Bring Our Brothers Home".[100] The video was filmed at the Santa Monica Pier.[101][102]
[edit] DanceJamtheMusic (2009)
Since his 2006 album, Hammer continued to produce music and released several other raps that appeared on his social websites (such as Myspace) or in commercials,[103] with another album announced to be launched in late 2008 (via his own record label Fullblast Playhouse). Talks of the tour and a new album were expected in 2009.[39][104][105]
"Getting Back to Hetton" was made public in 2008 as a digital single. It was a new departure for Hammer, bringing in funky deep soul and mixing it with a more house style. Released through licence on Whippet Digital Recordings, media reviews were said to be "disappointing". However, the song "I Got Gigs" from this eleventh album was used in a 2009 ESPN commercial and performed during Hammertime.[106]
Other tracks and videos from the album included: "I Go" (produced by Lil Jon), "Keep It In Vegas", "Lookin' Out The Window", "Dem Jeans" (by DASIT), "Stooge Karma Sutra" (by The Stooge Playaz) and "Tried to Luv U" (by DASIT featuring Pleasure Ellis).[107][108]
In March 2009, M.C. Hammer and Vanilla Ice had a one-off concert in the McKay Events Center, Orem, Utah.[51] This concert aided in the promotion of Hammer's new music and television show. During the concert, as shown on Hammer's show Hammertime, it was mentioned between the two rappers that this was their first headline show together in nearly 20 years when they were touring together at the peak of their hip-hop careers. Hammer said: "Contrary to popular belief, Ice and I are not only cool with each other, we are like long lost friends. I've known him since he was 16, before he had a record contract and before I had a record contract. It is a great reunion." Vanilla Ice, real name Robert Van Winkle, said: "It's like no time has passed at all. We set the world on fire back in the day - it gives me goosebumps to think about. The concert wouldn't have been so packed if it wasn't us together. I'm so happy right now, the magic is here."[109][110]
Current releases (2010-present)[link]
"Better Run Run" (2010)
M.C. Hammer promised to release a track responding to a rap by Jay-Z which attacked him, expected on October 31, 2010. On the "So Appalled" track, which features Swizz Beatz and RZA, Jay-Z spits a line which targets Hammer for his fall from grace in the 1990s, which left him in a financial disaster. On it Jay says: 'Hammer went broke so you know I'm more focused / I lost 30 mil' so I spent another 30 / 'Cause unlike Hammer 30 million can't hurt me'. Hammer addressed his displeasure about the diss on Twitter, claiming he will react to Jay-Z on Halloween.[111][112][113]
Hammer recently released a sample of his "beef" with Jay-Z (aka 'Hell Boy') in a brief teaser trailer called "Better Run Run" by 'King Hammer'. At one point, it was uncertain if his reaction would be a film video, a music video or a combination of both.[114] Regardless, he claimed he would show evidence that 'Jigga worships the devil'.[115][116] It's possible that Jay-Z was offended by an analogy Hammer was conveying in an earlier interview in response to "D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)" on AllHipHop.[117]
On November 1, Hammer's new video ("Better Run Run!") hit the web in retaliation to Jay-Z's September diss towards him.[118][119] M.C. accuses Jigga of being in league (and in the studio) with Satan — and then Hammer defeats the devil and forces Jay to be baptized. Speaking on the video, Jacob O'Gara of Ethos Magazine wrote: "What’s more likely is that this feud is the last chapter in the tragic cautionary tale of M.C. Hammer, a tale that serves as a warning to all present and future kings of hip-hop. Keep your balance on the pedestal and wear the crown strong or you’ll have the Devil to pay."[120]
In an interview with BBC's DJ Semtex, Jay said he didn't mean the verses as a personal attack. "I didn't know that [Hammer's financial status] wasn't on the table for discussion!" he said. "I didn't know I was the first person ever to say that..." He continued, "When I say things, I think people believe me so much that they take it a different way — it's, like, not rap anymore at that point. I say some great things about him in the book I have coming out [Decoded] — that's wasn't a cheap plug," he laughed. "He's gonna be embarrassed, I said some really great things about him and people's perception of him. But it is what it is, he took it that wrong way, and I didn't know I said anything wrong!"[121]
Additional business ventures[link]
In 1991, M.C. Hammer established Oaktown Stable that would eventually have nineteen Thoroughbred racehorses. That year, his outstanding filly Lite Light won several Grade I stakes races including the prestigious Kentucky Oaks. His D. Wayne Lukas-trained colt Dance Floor won the Grade II Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes and the Breeders' Futurity Stakes in 1991, then the following year won the Fountain of Youth Stakes and finished 3rd in the 1992 Kentucky Derby. He continues to attend shows as well as many sporting events along side celebrities.
Hammer had several costly videos, two in particular were Too Legit to Quit or 2 Legit 2 Quit (which many celebrities appeared in) and "Here Comes the Hammer".[65][122]
In the late 1990s into the early 2000s, along with a new clothing line called "J Slick", Hammer began creating and working on M.C. Hammer USA, an interactive online portal.[123]
In 2002, Hammer signed a book contract with publishing company Simon & Schuster which called for a release the following year. However, a manuscript for an inspirational book called Enemies of the Father: Messages from the Heart on Being a Family Man (addressing the situation of African American men), for which Hammer received advance money to write, was never submitted in 2003. This resulted in Hammer being sued by the book company over claims that he never finished the book as promised. The company's March 2009 lawsuit sought return of the US$61,000 advance given to Hammer for the unwritten book about fatherhood.[15][124][125]
As a result of his previous success, Hammer has now become somewhat of a popular web mogul and activist, currently involved in several Internet projects (such as the TechCrunch40 conferences and DanceJam).[126][127][128] In early 2008, Hammer launched his newest project as co-founder and chief strategy officer of Menlo Park-based (Silicon Valley) DanceJam.com. This exclusive community site is only dedicated to dancing video competitions, techniques and styles which Hammer, and others, judge or rate.[129][130]
In July 2010, Hammer started a mixed martial arts management company to manage, market, promote, and brand-build for fighters such as Nate Marquardt, Tim F. Kennedy, and Vladimir Matyushenko, among others. According to MMAWeekly.com and Bizjournals, his new company is Alchemist Management in Los Angeles. It now manages 10 fighters.[131] That same month, Hammer also announced his latest venture called Alchemist Clothing. The brand described as a colorful new lifestyle clothing line debuted during an Ultimate Fighting Championship fight in Austin. Middleweight fighter Nate "The Great" Marquardt wore an Alchemist shirt as he walked out to the ring. Hammer has shown an interest in boxing throughout his career.[132]
In October 2011, Hammer announced a new internet venture called WireDoo - a "deep search engine" that is planned to compete with the major search engines including Google and Bing.[133]
Television & film career[link]
M.C. Hammer has made cameos and/or performed on many television shows such as Saturday Night Live (as host and musical guest), Amen and Martin. He also made a cameo in the 1993 Arnold Schwarzenegger film Last Action Hero. Hammer would also go on to appear as himself on The History of Rock 'N' Roll, Vol. 5 (1995).[134] Additionally, he has been involved in movies as an actor - such as in One Tough Bastard (1996), Reggie's Prayer (1996), the Showtime film The Right Connections (1997), Deadly Rhapsody (2001) and Finishing the Game (2007)[135] - and as a television and movie producer as well.[136][137][138][139]
In 1991, M.C. Hammer and Bust It Productions (including B Angie B, Special Generation and Ho Frat Ho) appeared in concert from New Orleans on BET.[140]
Despite public attacks about his financial status, after meeting at the National Association of Broadcasters convention in Las Vegas, Nevada in April 2001, it was Hammer (credited as a producer)[59] who provided the much needed funding to filmmaker Justin Lin for Better Luck Tomorrow (2002). In its first ever film acquisition, MTV Films eventually acquired Better Luck Tomorrow after it debuted at The Sundance Film Festival.[139][141] The director said, "Out of desperation, I called up MC Hammer because he had read the script and liked it. Two hours later, he wired the money we needed into a bank account and saved us."[137][142]
Hammer appeared in two cable television movies.[15] At the age of 39, he was one of the producers for the VH1 movie Too Legit: The M.C. Hammer Story, starring Romany Malco and Tangi Miller as his wife, which aired on December 19, 2001. The film is a biopic which chronicles the meteoric rise and precipitous fall of the rap singer. "2 Legit To Quit: The Life Story of M.C. Hammer" became the second highest-rated original movie in the history of VH1 and broadcasted simultaneously on BET.[59][143] "The whole script came from me," says Hammer, "I sat down with a writer and gave him all the information."[36]
In 2003, Hammer appeared on The WB's first season of The Surreal Life, a reality show known for assembling an eclectic mix of celebrities to live together. He was also a dance judge on the 2003 ABC Family TV series Dance Fever. Additionally, he appeared on VH1's And You Don't Stop: 30 Years of Hip-Hop (2004) as well as in 100 Greatest Songs of the 90s (2008), a countdown which he was also commentator on. His eldest child, A'Keiba Burrell, was a contestant on MTV's Rock the Cradle in April, 2008 (which Hammer also made appearances on).
According to past articles, Hammer had shown an interest in having his own reality show with specific television networks at one point. Already being a part of shows for VH1 and The WB (I Married... M.C. Hammer and The Surreal Life), it was later confirmed he would appear in Hammertime on A&E Network in the summer of 2009.[3] This reality show was about his personal, business and family life.[144][145] The following year, Hammer appeared on Live with Regis and Kelly June 3, 2009 to promote his show which began June 14, 2009 at 10 PM EST.[146][147][148]
In August 2008, a new ESPN ad featured Hammer in it, showcasing his single "I Got Gigs'" (from his DanceJamtheMusic album).[149][150] The commercial was for Monday Night Football's upcoming football season.[18] This is not the first commercial in more recent years that Hammer has been in, or his songs/raps/dancing was used for or included in. (i.e. Lay's, Hallmark Cards, Purell, Lysol, Nationwide Insurance, Citibank, etc.) On February 1, 2009, Hammer and Ed McMahon were featured in a Super Bowl XLIII commercial for Cash4Gold.com.[151]
Along with Betty White, Hammer appeared and voice-acted on the September 17, 2010 episode of Glenn Martin, DDS called "Step-brother".[152]
M.C. Hammer's music has also been used in many television shows and movies, especially "U Can't Touch This", such as The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (1990), Hot Shots! (1990), The Super (1991), Doogie Howser, M.D. (1992), Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood (1996), Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003), Into the Wild (2007), Tropic Thunder (2008), Dancing with the Stars (2009), Glee (2010) and many more. Additionally, "This Is What We Do" was a 1990 track by Hammer (featuring B Angie B) for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film and soundtrack. Tracks "That's What I Said" and "Feel My Power" were used for the Rocky V film and soundtrack. Some examples of other raps by Hammer used in movies and television were "Addam's Groove" (The Addams Family), "Pray" (License to Wed), "2 Legit 2 Quit" (Hot Rod), "I Got It From The Town" (The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift), "Help Lord, Won't You Come" (Kingdom Come), "Let's Go Deeper" (Beverly Hills, 90210) and "Straight to My Feet" (Street Fighter), among others.
Dancer and entertainer[link]
M.C. Hammer's dance style not only helped pave the way for the Bay Area movement called Hyphy,[153] but also helped to bring hip-hop and rap to the Bay Area. His dancing skills are still taught to this day. With his popular trademark Hammer Pants, one phenomenal difference from Hammer versus other performers during his heyday was that he was an entertainer, both during live shows and in music videos. His flamboyant dancing was as much a part of his performances as rapping and musical instruments were. With high-energy dance routines, he is often considered one of the greatest dancers. While adding his own techniques, Hammer adopted styles from James Brown and The Nicholas Brothers such as the splits, and feverish choreographed dance routines including leaps and slides, most notably. His creation of such dances as "Hammer Dance"[154] (or the "Typewriter Dance") and the use of "The Running Man" and the "Butterfly," among others, made his flashy and creative dance skills unlike any others at the time.
Hammer's showmanship and elaborate stage choreography, involving fifteen dancers, twelve backup singers, seven live musicians and two disc jockeys, gave him a powerful visual appeal. Hammer was the first rap artist to put together a choreographed show of this type, and his visual flair attracted heavy airplay for his videos on MTV, which at the time had a predominantly white viewership that had aired little rap music before Hammer.[15]
During a 1990 visit from M.C. Hammer (accompanied by his friend Fab Five Freddy) on Yo! MTV Raps, one of the dancers whom Hammer was holding auditions for was a then-unknown Jennifer Lopez.
At the height of his career, Hammer had his legs insured for a substantial amount of money (into the millions), as mentioned in an interview by Maria Shriver in the early 90s. He later suffered an injury to his knee that halted his dancing career for a period of time.[31] Eventually, BET ranked Hammer as the 7th Best Dancer Of All Time.[12] Some of Hammer's entourage, or "posse" as he called them, were also trained/skilled dancers. They participated in videos and at concerts, yet too many dancers and band members eventually contributed to Hammer's downfall, proving to be too much for him to finance.[155]
Hammer is still active in the dance media/genre, both on television shows and as co-founder of DanceJam.com (which showcases dance competitions and instructional videos on all the latest dance styles).[127] Well known for bringing choreography to hip-hop, many of his dancing skills can now be seen on this dance-focused social networking site. "Dance is unlike any other social medium. It's the core of our culture," Burrell told Wired News.[129]
In addition to his websites and other Internet appearances,[128] Hammer has also appeared demonstrating much of his dancing abilities on talk shows such as The Arsenio Hall Show, Soul Train, Late Night with Conan O'Brien (performing O'Brien's famous "string dance" together as well), Ellen, The View and was a dancing judge on Dance Fever. On June 3, 2009, he performed the "Hammer dance" on Live with Regis and Kelly with Will Ferrell as co-host.[147][156][157]
While Hammer may have challenged and competed with Michael Jackson during the height of his career, they were friends, proven by a phone call Hammer had with Jackson about his "Too Legit to Quit" video which he shared on The Wendy Williams Show (July 2009). Hammer wanted to ensure he was not offended by the ending of the video where a purported Michael Jackson (seen only from behind) does the "2 Legit 2 Quit" hand gesture with his famous glove.[66][67] They also appeared together at the funeral service for James Brown in 2006, where Hammer danced in honor of The Godfather of Soul.[68] After Jackson's death, Hammer posted his remembrance and sympathy of the superstar on Twitter. Michael's friend and fellow pop culture icon Hammer told Spinner that, "now that the King of Pop has passed, it's the duty of his fans and loved ones to carry Jackson's creative torch." He went on to say, "Michael Jackson lit the fuse that ignited the spirit of dance in us all. He gave us a song and a sweet melody that will never die. Now we all carry his legacy with joy and pride."[158]
Bankruptcy, lawsuits and media reaction[link]

Contrary to public rumor, Hammer claimed he was far from down-and-out[original research?] during the release of The Funky Headhunter album.[159] Nonetheless, as a result of the fickle public growing bored with his positive and poppy style during the rise of gangsta rap, as well as excessive spending while supporting friends and family,[160] Hammer later went $13 million into debt. Because of dwindling album sales, unpaid loans and a lavish lifestyle, Hammer eventually filed for bankruptcy in April 1996 at a California court.[161]
Hammer's mansion was sold for a fraction of its former price.[159][162][163] "My priorities were out of order", he told Ebony. He claimed, "My priorities should have always been God, family, community, and then business. Instead they had been business, business, and business". Along with Felton Pilate and other group members, Rick James sued Hammer for infringement of copyright, but the suit was settled out of court when Hammer agreed to credit James as co-composer, effectively cutting James in on the millions of dollars the record was earning. By the late 1990s, though, Hammer seemed to stabilize himself and made himself ready to undertake new projects.[15]
In 1992, Hammer had admitted in depositions and court documents to getting the idea for the song "Here Comes The Hammer" from a Christian recording artist in Dallas, Texas named Kevin Christian. Christian had filed a 16 million dollar lawsuit against Hammer for copyright infringement for his song entitled "Oh-Oh, You Got The Shing". This fact, compounded with witness testimony from both Hammer's and Christian's entourages, and other evidence (including photos), brought about a settlement with Capitol Records in 1994. The terms of the settlement remain sealed. Hammer settled with Christian the following year.[164][165]
In 1997, just prior to beginning his ministry, M.C. Hammer (who by that time had re-adopted the "M.C.") was the subject of an episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show and the VH1 series Behind the Music (music from his album V Inside Out was featured in this documentary).[166][167] In these appearances, Burrell admitted 'that [he] had already used up most of [his] fortune of over $20 million, proving that money is nothing if it doesn't bring peace and if priorities are wrong'.[168] He would go on to express a similar point in other interviews as well.[169]
During numerous interviews on radio stations and television channels throughout the years to come, Hammer has been questioned about his bankruptcy.[87][170][171] For example, during an interview by WKQI-FM (95.5) for the promotion of his "Pioneers Of Hip Hop 2009" gig at the Fox Theatre (Detroit, Michigan) which featured 2 Live Crew, Naughty by Nature, Too Short, Biz Markie & Roxanne Shanté, Hammer was asked about his finances by the "Mojo in the Morning" host. Hammer responded on Twitter that Mojo was a 'coward' and threatened to cancel commercials for his upcoming show.[172][173][174]
Personal life[link]
At the time of his first album, Hammer opened his own music management firm. As a result of the success of his third album, Please Hammer, Don’t Hurt 'Em, Hammer had amassed approximately US$33 million.[163] US$12 million of this total was used to have his Xanadu-like home built in Fremont, California, 30 miles (50 km) south of where he grew up.[162][175][176] Jet estimated that Hammer employed 200 people, with an annual payroll of US$6.8 million.[15] He currently resides in a large ranch-style abode situated on a two-acre corner lot in Tracy, California [177] with his wife Stephanie of 26 years (whom he met at a church revival meeting and married December 21, 1985)[178] and their five children: three boys (Bobby, Jeremiah, Sammy) and two girls (Sarah, A'keiba), along with his nephew (Jamaris) and cousin (Marv).[179][180][181]
Hammer frequently posts about his life and activities on his blog "Look Look Look," as well as other social websites such as Facebook, Myspace and Twitter (being one of the earliest celebs to contribute and join).[182]
In March 2009, Ellen DeGeneres made plans for Hammer to be on her show (The Ellen DeGeneres Show) via communication with Twitter.[183][184] As a result of his popularity with the site, he has been considered a "Tweeter star".[185]
On September 28, 2010, M.C. Hammer headlined at the TechCrunch Disrupt conference for an official after-hours party.[186]
M.C. Hammer returned to Oprah Winfrey's show in February 2011 to discuss his tech-media-mogul status, as well as his creation, demonstration and consulting of social applications/sites/media (such as having an involvement with the Internet since 1994, YouTube and Twitter), and devices such as iPad and ZAGGmate.[187][188] He also explained again how employing/helping so many people in the past never really caused him to be broke in terms of the average person, as the media made it seem, nor would he have changed any experiences that has led him to where he is today. During this "Whatever Happened to M.C. Hammer" episode, he discussed his current home, family and work life as well.[189][190][191]
Christian beliefs and pastoral ministry[link]
In 1984, Burrell began attending Bible studies, joined a street ministry, and formed a gospel rap group known as the Holy Ghost Boys featuring Jon Gibson, another musician interested in Contemporary Christian music.[31] In 1986, Burrell, along with Tramaine Hawkins, performed with Jon's band doing several concerts in various halls such as the Beverly Theatre in Beverly Hills and recording several rap songs.[192] They collaborated on Gibson's 1988 album (Change of Heart) for a gospel-charged rap "This Wall" prior to M.C. Hammer's mainstream success.[28][33] This was Contemporary Christian Music's first rap hit ever by anyone, in particular by a Caucasian (Gibson) and/or a duo.[26] Burrell also produced "Son of the King" at that time, releasing it on his debut album.
Raised Pentecostal, Hammer strayed from his faith during his success, before returning to ministry. His awareness of this could be found in a movie he made called Please Hammer, Don't Hurt 'Em: The Movie (1990), in which he also plays the preacher character named "Reverend Pressure".[56][60][155] Nonetheless, as a tribute to his faith, Hammer vowed to dedicate at least one song on each album to God.
Hammer later reaffirmed his beliefs in October 1997,[193] and starred in the ministry television show M.C. Hammer and Friends on the Trinity Broadcasting Network as well as appearing on Praise the Lord programs where he went public about his devotion to ministry as an ordained minister.[194][195][196] Hammer officiated at the celebrity weddings of actor Corey Feldman and Susie Sprague on October 30, 2002[197][198] (as seen on VH1's The Surreal Life), and also at Mötley Crüe's Vince Neil and Lia Gerardini's wedding in January 2005.[199]
During an interview on TBN (between 1997–1998), Hammer claimed he adopted the "M.C." back into his name which now stood for 'Man of Christ'.[200][201] Hammer continued to preach while still making music, running a social media business and television show, and devotes time to prison and youth ministries.[155]
He has also recently joined Jaeson Ma in his crusade in Asia.[?]
Legacy and pop culture fame[link]
Widely considered the first "mainstream" rapper, even when it wasn't "cool" to be, Hammer continues to entertain while sharing his legacy with other rappers - as cited on BET's website.[202] Hammer became a fixture of the television airwaves and the big screen, with his music being used in many popular shows, movies and commercials still to this day. He also established a children's foundation that first started in his own community.[15]
Hammer has also influenced the music industry as well as pop culture catch phrases and slang.[203] Digital Underground's rap "The Humpty Dance" included the lyrics "People say ya look like M.C. Hammer on crack, Humpty!", boasting about Hammer's showmanship versus Humpty Hump (Shock G)'s inability to match it in dance. Additionally, his sampling of large portions of well-known pop oldies (as opposed to short James Brown or George Clinton funk riffs) has become increasingly popular among mainstream rappers, particularly Diddy's Bad Boy Records stable. At the time, it was frowned upon.[15]
Some critics complained of a lack of originality in Hammer's early productions. Entertainment Weekly described "U Can't Touch This" as 'shamelessly copying its propulsive riff from Rick James ("Super Freak"). But Hammer set the pattern; musically, fashionably and financially, for practices that became common in hip-hop music later in the 1990s in the hands of such platinum-selling performers as Puff Daddy and Will Smith.[15] Hammer admits, "When I look at Puffy with a choir, I say, 'Sure that's a take-off of what I do."[36]
Hammer's clothing-lines, one later called J Slick,[36][37] and flashy wardrobes also led to other performers being more conscientious about video outfits, "shiny suits" and baggie pants. During his early career (80s and early 90s), Hammer would tour, perform and record with his hype man 2 Bigg MC or Too Big (releasing a song in which he claimed "He's the King of the Hype").[204] It's interesting to note that this duo introduced the "shiny suit" to mainstream America, as seen in videos such as "(Hammer Hammer) They Put Me In A Mix", in which Hammer also claimed Too Big was the "King of Hype", who was in an unspoken competition with Flavor Flav (hype man for Public Enemy) during the height of their careers.[205][206]
During a 1991 episode of Rockline on MTV (with host Martha Quinn), in response to a caller's question, Hammer stated in 10 years he sees himself continuing to make "original material to establish longevity", "energetic... message-oriented songs for a long time to come" and "staying in good shape... working as long as God blesses [him] to be here".[207]
Hammer also began the trend of rap artists being accepted as mainstream pitchmen. Prior to Hammer, it was virtually unheard of for a hip-hop artist to be seen in a major commercial spot. Hammer appeared in major marketing campaigns for companies such as Pepsi, KFC, Toshiba and Taco Bell to the point that he was criticized as a "sell-out".[10][208] Hammer also did commercials for British Knights during the height of his career. The shoe company signed him to a $138 million deal.[209][210]
In 1994, British TV presenter Mark Lamarr interrupted Hammer repeatedly with Hammer's catch phrase ("Stop! Hammer Time!") in an interview filmed for The Word, which he took in good humour. He claimed Hammer was a "living legend". It was also within this interview that Hammer explained the truth about his relationship with "gangsta rap" and that he was merely changing with the times, not holding onto his old image nor becoming a "hardcore gangsta".[211] This change had much to do with his failure.[11][212]
After his rapid fall from commercial fame, M.C. Hammer spent most of the latter half of the 1990s as a punch line in the music business.[citation needed] According to VH1, "Hammer was on the money. Hit singles and videos like "U Can't Touch This" and "Too Legit To Quit" created a template of lavish performance values that many rap artists still follow today."
In 2006, M.C. Hammer's music catalog (approximately 40,000 songs) was sold to the music company Evergreen for nearly $3 million. Evergreen explained that the collection was "some of the best-selling and most popular rap songs of all time." Speaking for Evergreen, David K. Schulhof stated the songs "will emerge as a perfect fit for licensing in movies, television shows, and corporate advertising."[213]
Hammer continues to give media interviews, such as being a guest on Chelsea Lately (June 16, 2009), where he discussed his relationship with Vanilla Ice, his stint on The Surreal Life, his latest show, his family, his mansion, him being in shape, his current financial status and other "colorful topics" (subliminal jokes) regarding his baggy pants.[214][215][216]
Influences and related artists[link]
M.C. Hammer's impact in rap and entertainment has influenced and been influenced by such artists as: Kool Moe Dee, Big Daddy Kane, James Brown, Prince, Michael Jackson, Kurtis Blow, Earth, Wind & Fire, Rick James, Doug E. Fresh (who joined Hammer's Bust It Records label in 1992 and issued the album Doin' What I Gotta Do with the track "Bustin' Out (On Funk)" sampling the Rick James single "Bustin' Out") & The Get Fresh Crew (Barry Bee and Chill Will), Run-D.M.C. and Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five.
Hammer was followed by related musicians: Will Smith, dc Talk, BB Jay, Diddy (aka "Puffy" or "Puff Daddy"), Young MC, B Angie B, M.C. Brains, MC Breed, Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch, C+C Music Factory, Mystikal, Bell Biv DeVoe, Kris Kross, Ho Frat Ho[217][218] and Oaktown's 357.[219]

Hammer has sold more than 50 million records worldwide.[2] He has won three Grammy Awards (one with Rick James and Alonzo Miller) for Best Rhythm and Blues Song (1990), Best Rap Solo (1990) and Best Music Video: Long Form (1990) taken from Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em: The Movie. He also received eight American Music Awards, a People's Choice Award, an NAACP Image Awards and the Billboard Diamond Award (the first for a hip hop artist).[6][7][8]
The International Album of the Year validated Hammer's talent as a world-class entertainer.[58] Additionally, Hammer was also honored with a Soul Train Music Award (Sammy Davis, Jr. Award for Entertainer of the Year) in 1991.
Hammer appeared on gospel music's Stellar Awards show in 1997 and spoke of his renewed commitment to God. In the same interview, Hammer promised to unveil the "second leg" of his career.[15]

On October 2 (aired October 12), Hammer opened the 2010 BET Hip Hop Awards performing "2 Legit 2 Quit" in Atlanta along with Rick Ross, Diddy and DJ Khaled (performing "MC Hammer" from the Teflon Don album).[202][227][228][229]
In September 2009, Hammer made the "accomplishment appearance" in Zombie Apocalypse for the downloadable Smash TV/Left 4 Dead hybrid for the Xbox 360.[230]

The award will be presented to him at the 3rd Annual Gravity Summit on February 22, 2011 at the UCLA Covel Commons.[231][232]

[Daz]
Dah Dah Dah
[Chorus 2x; Hammer [And Daz]]
Sleepin on a master plan
[Daz; Sleepin on a master plan]
When ya sleepin, Yet I'm creepin, Ya see
[Daz; When ya sleepin, I be creepin]
[Daz]
Check it out
[Hammer]
Sleepin on a master plan, but yet and still
I got skills to come hard like shaquille
Check the grammar, Slow your roll, Here comes the quick flows
Hammer too legit flows, They need us from the get go
Uh, back in action
Time for some rhymes, For some ends so my pockets'll be fattened
Matter of fact, In a couple minutes i'll be paid again
Another phat lp to be made again
Hammer, Hammer, I am!
Hype like mike, So you can say I'm the
[Daz]
Jam!
[Hammer]
Smooth as satin concrete as stone
Take my time to rock a rhyme, Once again it's on
Take two, One two three different mc's
They really can't see me
[Daz]
Who?
[Hammer]
You can't touch this, So rush this oh slow temp flow
MC Hammer, Untouchable mental flow
Chorus 4x
[Hammer]
I'm too legit to stop, I got more flows to kick
[Kurupt]
I kicks it, I gets wicked like that and this
[Hammer]
It's so many things that's confusing
Ya diss, Ya losin, Ya don't know the different flows I be using
[Daz]
So uh
[Hammer]
Remember, Timber is filmed down
It's time to let em know hammer's comin back around
So knock knock to the boogie ya don't stop
I got a couple more lines to drop
On the one
[Daz]
Too many underestimated
[Hammer]
On the two
[Daz]
They can't believe what I created
[Hammer]
Am I smooth?
[Daz]
I don't think so
[Hammer]
And that's too real
[Kurupt]
Can ya feel it?
[Hammer]
I drop hits like holyfield
[Daz]
Damn
[Hammer]
Take my time before I start composing
It's like this, It's like this is how it goes and
Now ya know whenever ya seein the hammer rollin
Bet he roll, Hold I roll rollin through oakland, Oakland
Chorus 4x
[Daz]
Now
[Hammer]
I done seen a lotta people go from one to ten
[Daz]
Really dough
[Hammer]
Hammer'll wreck it from beginning to end
Comin direct, Check yourself or get checked
Step, I kicks back and I collect
I recollect, That my technique is tight
It's unknown what the average mc might write
I'm ice colder, So diss at me, You're going under
Believe me, Ya man ain't stevie so don't wonder
I hammer mc's for tryin to go against this
Me against no six, Or face the consequence
For tryin to get in my position
[Daz]
For all those who're essential, so
[Hammer]
To all y'all backwards untalented unactive wanna be hard rap stars
[Daz]
Now is this too much?
The fact that they can't touch this
[Hammer]
I'm unmatched, Never mediocre
Tell batman hammer's loonier than joker
Uh, So quick to jump up
That macker fama lama hammer grammar'll have things pumped up
Fool, I thought you knew
[Daz]
What else would you expect from a g that's kickin game to you?
[Hammer]
It's like one two, I'm pretty sure you can't tell it's dope
You try to diss but couldn't see me wit a telescope
Chorus 5x
[Hammer-Repeat 4x]
Sleep wit it, Sleep wit it
[Daz-Repeat until fade]
Keep sleepin on a master plan
Chorus (4x):
Pumps and a bump, Pumps and a bump, we like the girls with the Pumps and a bump!
Verse 1:
Just when I thought could I hit another one
So up jumps see me with the pumps and a bump
All stiggitty stiggity girls, getting on my good nerves
Looking like ice cream ready to be served
Wreck it, check it, can I get in it
If you wanna kick it with a G baby here's me
Cause I come equipped, I'm a pimp, a slippity slip, I suppose you take a trip
Chorus(4x)
Pumps and a bump, now many say a big butt
But if you're hip you know that it's a phone crud
It's making the brothers go crazy in the 2-G
Shake like a bottle girl fine as wine G
So when I here I got a step (to a fine thing)
Never been a coward (cause it's a eastside thing)
Just step right up to the girl with the big butt
Tell her what's up you got the pumps and a bump
Bridge:
Men: Ooooh! Everyone for the rest of your life there's a girl fucking tight!
Ladies! All everyone there's a man who is tight who can hit it all night!
We gotta get the pumps!
Chorus(4x)
I don't like 'em stiggity fat! (No!)
I like 'em stiggity stacked (Yeah!)
You wiggity wiggity wack if you ain't got biggity back (Awwww!)
So when you hear the rump shaking on the dance floor
Keep you bottling get your eyes and get hypnotized
But a nigga like me will dance up to some chopping and chewing
Keep em bottling you know I keep 'em bobbing
I put my fingerprints all over that rump
I'm guilty as hell but I love the pumps and the bump! (Ow!)
Chorus (4x)
Bridge
Tiddle-dee-dum, tiddle-dee-dum
Help Lord, won't You come?
Tiddle-dee-dum, tiddle-dee-dum
Help Lord, won't You come?
I can't call it but I know I got started
'Cause my mama was broke and I was broken hearted
I can take tears and tears for years
But the tears of my mama yo, they get me right here
So I broke out in a military step, no deally, no dally
I walked, I crept, I slept on a plan that I'd make it all good
A young preacher if you could
A young hustler from the hood
Mama, don't you cry, don't you cry no more
Ya baby boy's blowin' up and he's goin' to war
My mind is playin' tricks and my dad is too
High street bank boys, it's on, fools
Gonna make my moves and my moves I make
You betta not get broke 'cause if you broke, you break
I don't hesitate that you can't see me
It's gonna take the Lord to save you from me
Tiddle-dee-dum, tiddle-dee-dum
Help Lord, won't You come?
Tiddle-dee-dum, tiddle-dee-dum
Help Lord, won't You come?
Tiddle-dee-dum, tiddle-dee-dum
Help Lord, won't You come?
Tiddle-dee-dum, tiddle-dee-dum
Help Lord, won't You come?
I flipped the stress off, good, I let it rip
Bank boys in the fat money grip, yeah
Rollin' 5 deep and on fools we creep
Half the town is down and you can't see me, really dough
What's next? A young fool on a flex
Tryin' to get a name, some props or rep
I stepped right to him let 'em know it's all good
Lights out, now his crib is wood
Broke for the dough but now I can't see
It's blood on my hands my dog, yo, G?'
I hit the flo' but my heart didn't stop
And now I see a vision of my son wit no pop
My mama's on her knees
Lord, Lord no please
And I feel cold and my health is cheatin'
It's gettin' dark but yet and still
I'm half dead, half life, what's real?
I can't breathe but now I'm startin' to choke
Off my own blood and not that indo smoke
No joke, straight up, on a serious tip
I'm losin' my life, I'm losin' my grip, I slip, s-s-slip deeper still
Help Lord, help Lord, I'm losin' my will
To live, low, stuck at the bottom
From winter to spring to summer to autumn
Help Lord, the homies in the hood
The squares, the G's, it's all good
Help Lord 'cause in the hood we sprung
And we stuck right here until you come
And bless the children of the ghetto life
No love, no hope, no hope, no life
Help Lord, help Lord, help Lord, help Lord
You hear me callin' Lord?
Tiddle-dee-dum, tiddle-dee-dum
Help Lord, won't You come?
Tiddle-dee-dum, tiddle-dee-dum
Help Lord, won't You come?
Tiddle-dee-dum, tiddle-dee-dum
Help Lord, won't You come?
Tiddle-dee-dum, tiddle-dee-dum
Help Lord, won't You come?
Tiddle-dee-dum, tiddle-dee-dum
Help Lord, won't You come?
Tiddle-dee-dum, tiddle-dee-dum
Help Lord, won't You come?
Crime stories
You get, boy, no glory
Not in these crime stories
I?m tellin? you right now, no glory
Scene I
Too Big and the Hammer rollin? on a hit
Knives in our hands to the sound of the click
And now we?re ready, we hit the swoove
Windows ease down we spray their crews
Eight fools dead, a baby too
You ask me how I?m livin?, this hit?s for you
But that?s not all we got the prize
A mother in a kitchen, now yo, she?s dead inside
Yeah, we took them suckers out
They know what time it is now
Crime stories
Homeboys, you get no glory
Not in these crime stories
You ain?t gettin? nuthin' on that, no glory
Scene II, me and Too Big at the club
Too Big and the Hammer kickin? it at the club
Boastin? about the way that we pulled those sucker?s plugs
We weren?t worried, naw, we didn?t care
When you?re in this war, yo, all is fair
A tap on my shoulder, I turn around
Too Big is dyin? fast, he?s on the ground
I reach for my gat, it was too late
The knives went pointblank range in my face
Yo, they opened fire and took me out
Somebody tell my mother, I love her, man
Crime stories
Boy, you get no glory
I?m not going to mislead my brothers
Crime stories, I?m tellin? ya right now, ah, will they talk? No glory
Scene III, the pimpin? game
Now I?m pimpin? these berries, got to get that money
Those suckers still payin? for a little bit of honey
Nothin? in this world can stop my flow
AIDS ain?t done nothin? but help my business grow
My babes are trained to make that dollar
To take you out, fool, it ain?t no bother
You dropped your pants and you pay the price
Your money maybe AIDS, fool, and then your life
Yeah, that?s right ?cause a pimp got to make it
You know what I?m sayin?
We?re talkin? about crime stories
And I ain?t givin? up no propers, no glory
Crime Stories, all the real brothers have been locked up
And you know they don?t wanna go back, no glory
Scene IV, the pimp got took out by Barry's brother
We got this tip on some new fresh bait
Money in their heads and they could hardly wait
My girls went to their room to make the play
Two suckers at once, yeah, would make my day
Now I?m outside some suckers walk up
Talkin? real hard about smokin? my butt
He pushed the button, the blade came out
Cut me on my throat and then a bullet in my mouth
I guess the devil got all the babes in hell
Maybe he?ll let me work with him? Ssh
Crime stories
I?m tellin? ya, man, you get no glory
?Cause I?m not gonna mislead my young brothers
Crime stories, if you've ever been locked up
You know the true stories, no glory
And I?d like to say this before we get outta here
To my brothers in the game, my brothers
Who are out there doin? what they feel they?ve got to do
I wanna ask you one favor, let?s let the young kids 10, 11, 12 years old
Let?s let them go on and do their thing at the schoolhouse
Let?s give them a chance to make it
Let?s give them a chance at a different life
You doin? what you feel you have to do
But they youngsters and they don?t know any better
So we want to give them a chance to live
I mean life is precious, and you know that yourself
And you try to make a better life for yourself
So what I?m sayin? this from the bottom of my heart, let the kids be
Help the children lead to another way

Man what about Run D. M. C.
Somethin' 'bout the Goldie in me
Somethin' 'bout an Oakland mack
When I hear this song
It makes an O.G. feel phat
Somethin' 'bout the Goldie in me
Somethin' 'bout an Oakland mack
When I hear this song
It makes an O.G. feel phat
Somethin' 'bout the Goldie in me
That makes me laugh at these wannabes
'Cause they been watchin' too much TV
Rambo and Clint Eastwood got ya trippin'
But the Goldie in me
Keeps me thinkin' 'bout my group and never slippin'
In that played out tread
'Cause most O.G.'s are in the pen or fresh out
And when I hear rappers like you call me wack
I laugh and just say over twenty million sold
Can you buy that?
Yeah, fake rappers are surreal
You don't hear me though, I thought ya knew
I'm a certified player, you see
'Cause of the girls, the girls, they love me
And no matter what my critics say
They all know that I'm mackin' this fame
'Cause fools can't recognize game
I refuse to be a wannabe
Somethin' 'bout the Goldie in me, yeah
Somethin' 'bout the Goldie in me
Somethin' 'bout an Oakland mack
When I hear this song
It makes an O.G. feel phat
Somethin' 'bout the Goldie in me
Somethin' 'bout an Oakland mack
When I hear this song
It makes an O.G. feel phat
Somethin' 'bout the Goldie in me
See I'm a G
Hangin' wit fools like Big Loose
Crossecuse, and Killa Week
Just some hard knuckleheads from the east side
Where we used to squab, shoot 'em down
Collect ends, and high side and rise
And get between thighs on the day to day
Craps, big bank take little bank, were games we like to play
Rollin' down east 14, the brothers be trippin'
They hear the cats be slippin'
'Cause the moves be quick to zippin'
Pickin' up freaks every other block, wherever the ride stop
The girls flock, and all the homies jock, sock
Bustas makin' smart remarks, I'm quick to bust ya
Never worry about my back, because I'm rollin' wit some hustlas
And we don't sell, we bail
Creep through the hood wit pockets fatter than the Goodyear blimp
Yeah, an oak town player, G
It's got to be the Goldie in me
Somethin' 'bout the Goldie in me
Somethin' 'bout an Oakland mack
When I hear this song
It makes an O.G. feel phat
Somethin' 'bout the Goldie in me
Somethin' 'bout an Oakland mack
When I hear this song
Let's get it started
Let's get it started
Now your party wasn't jumping and your DJ was weak
Instead of dope beats, he was spinnin' them Z's
All the fly girls who came with a beat in mind
They all up against the wall like a welfare line
Do you think for one minute that this is it?
Your party is bogus, yo it ain't legit
You better put on the Hammer and you will be rewarded
My beat is ever boomin' and you know I get it started
Get it started
Let's get it started
Let's get it started
Let's get it started
Let's get it started
Now get up out your seat because my beat is so complete
I'm movin' everybody from A to Z
And when it comes to straight up rockin', I'm second to none
From Doug E. Fresh to LL or DJ Run
They say, "Hammer, how you do it?"
I got it like that, my posse's ever rollin', we keep it intact
Just put on the Hammer and you will be rewarded
My beat is ever boomin' and you know I get it started
Get it started
Let's get it started
Let's get it started
Let's get it started
Let's get it started
Let's get it started
Now, a lot of B-Boys make 'em dance, yo they fakin' the beat
They hip-hop on the outside put rock underneath
Before the show gets started, they shakin' they boots
My posse in the end cold displayin' the troops
Like a trooper, I'm down cold hooked on the drugs
808 SB12 are expirin' Africans
Just put on the Hammer and you will be rewarded
My beat is ever boomin' and you know I get it started
Get it started
Let's get it started
Let's get it started
Let's get it started
Let's get it started
They said it couldn't happen, that rap wouldn't last
The beat is in effect like the oil in your gas
'Cause it's makin' lots of money from top to bottom
Whatever in effect, yo, B-Boys have got 'em
Nobody knows how a rapper really feels
A mind full of rhymes and a tongue of steel
Just put on the Hammer and you will be rewarded
My beat is ever boomin' and you know I get it started
Get it started
Let's get it started
Let's get it started
Let's get it started
Let's get it started

Now I tried to play it along (you know)
And act like I was havin' a ball (ha ha)
But what do I see (yo) a perm with feet (cousin it)
Standin' about three feet tall (I'm outta here)

Live how they wanna live, play how they wanna play
Dance how they wanna dance, kick and the slap a friend
The addams family
Speakin' and thinkin' about the addams
You know the hammer is with it (I'm with it)
Act a fool, no bones, swooop, goofy and randy
You know we kick it (the posse)
Now is the time to get in your mind
It's ok to be yourself (be yourself)
Take foolish pride and put it aside
Like the addams, yo! they def (that's a family!)
They do what they wanna do, say what they wanna say
Live how they wanna live, play how they wanna play

U can't touch this
U can't touch this
U can't touch this
U can't touch this
My-my-my-my (U can't touch this) music hits me so hard
Makes me say,"oh my lord thank you for blessing me
With a mind to rhyme and two hyped feet"
It feels good
When you know you're sown
A superdope homeboy from the Oaktown
And I'm known as such
And this is a beat-uh!
U can't touch this
I told you homeboy
U can't touch this
Yeah, that's how we livin' and you know
U can't touch this
Look in my eyes,man
U can't touch this
Yo, let me bust the funky lyrics
U can't touch this
Fresh new kicks and pants
You got it like that now you know you wanna dance
So move out of your seat
And get a fly girl and catch this beat
While it's rolling
Hold on
Pump a little bit and let 'em know it's going on
Like that
Like that
Cold on a mission so fall on back
Let 'em know that you're too much
And this is a beat
They can't touch
Yo! I told you
U can't touch this
Why you standing there, man?
U can't touch this
Yo,sound the bells, school is in, sucker
U can't touch this
Give me a song or rhythm
Making 'em sweat
That's what I'm giving'em
Now they know
You talk about the Hammer, you're talking about a show
That's hyped and tight
Singers are sweating so pass them a wipe
Or a tape to learn
What it is going to take in the '90s
To burn the charts
Legit either work hard or you might as well quit
That's the word,because you know
U can't touch this
U can't touch this
Break it down
Stop. . . Hammer time
Go with the flow
It is said
That if you can't groove to this
Then you probably are dead
So wave your hands in the air
Bust a few moves, run your fingers through your hair
This is it for a winter
Dance to this an' you're gonna get thinner
Move slide your rump
Just for a minute, let's all do the bump
Bump bump bump
Yeah, U can't touch this
Look man, U can't touch this
You better get hyped
Boy 'cause you know ya can't
U can't touch this
Ring the bell, school's back in
Break it down
Stop. Hammer time
U can't touch this
U can't touch this
U can't touch this
U can't touch this
Break it down
Stop. Hammer time
Every time you see me
The Hammer's just so hyped
I'm dope on the floor
And I'm magic on the mike
Now why would I ever
Stop doing this?
When others making records
That just don't hit
I've toured around the world
From London to the Bay
It's Hammer, go Hammer, M.C.Hammer, Yo Hammer
And the rest can go and play
Can't touch this
U can't touch this
U can't touch this
U can't touch this
Yeah,U can't touch this
I told you, U can't touch this
Too hype, can't touch this
Yo, we outta here, can't touch this
[Chorus 2x]
Let's get it started!
[Verse 1]
Now your party wasn't jumping and your DJ was weak
Instead of dope beats, he was spinnin them Z's
All the fly girls who came with a beat in mind
They all up against the wall like a welfare line
Do you think for one minute that this is it?
Your party is bogus, Yo it ain't legit
You better put on the hammer, And you will be rewarded
My beat is ever boomin, And you know I get it started
Get it started!
[Chorus 5x]
[Verse 2]
Now get up out your seat because my beat is so complete
I'm movin everybody from A to Z
And when it comes to straight up rockin, I'm second to none
From Doug E. Fresh to LL or DJ Run
They say hammer how you do it? I got it like that
My posse's ever rollin, We keep it in tact
Just put on the hammer, And you will be rewarded
My beat is ever boomin, And you know I get it started
[Chorus 6x]
[Verse 3]
Now, a lot of b-boys make em dance, Yo they fakin the beat
They hip hop on the outside put rock underneath
Before the show gets started, They shakin they boots
My posse in the end cold displayin the troops
Like a trooper, I'm down cold hooked on the drugs
808 SB12'S are expirin africans
Just put on the hammer, And you will be rewarded
My beat is ever boomin, And you know I get it started
[Chorus 5x]
[Verse 4]
They said it couldn't happen, that rap wouldn't last
The beat is in effect like the oil in your gas
Cause it's makin lots of money from top to bottom
Whatever in effect, Yo, B-boys have got em
Nobody knows how a rapper really feels
A mind full of rhymes, and a tongue of steel
Just put on the hammer, and you will be rewarded
My beat is ever boomin, and you know I get it started
[Chorus 7x]
That's word, we pray, pray, pray
We got to pray just to make it today
I said, "We pray", pray, ah yeah, we pray, pray
We got to pray just to make it today, that's word, we pray
All my life I wanted to make it to the top
Some said I wouldn't, they told me no but I didn't stop
Working hard, making those movies everyday
And on my knees, every night, you know I pray
I said, "We pray", pray, ah yeah, we pray, pray
We got to pray just to make it today
I said, "We pray", pray, ah yeah, we pray, pray
We got to pray just to make it today, that's word, we pray
Now I just think that you can do whatever you want
I'm bustin' these rhymes, making this money and I won't
Forget my people or my town or my ways
And on my knees, every night, I'm still gonna pray
That's word, we pray, pray, ah yeah, we pray, pray
We got to pray just to make it today
I said, "We pray", pray, ah yeah, we pray, pray
We got to pray just to make it today, that's word, we pray
Time and time and time and time and time again
I kept on knocking but these people wouldn't let me in
I tried and tried and tried and tried to make a way
But nothing happened till that day that I prayed
That's word, we pray, pray, ah yeah, we pray, pray
We got to pray just to make it today
I said, "We pray", pray, ah yeah, we pray, pray
We got to pray just to make it today, that's word, we pray
Children dying, oh so fast from this or that
Need that money, bookin' that dope, smokin' that crack
Ten years old, stand outside, better looked out
Dead and gone, never had a chance, what's it all about?
That's word, we pray, pray, ah yeah, we pray, pray
We need to pray just to make it today
I said, "We pray", pray, ah yeah, we pray, pray
We need to pray just to make it today that's word, we pray
Pray, pray, that's word we pray, thats word we pray
That's word, we pray, that's word, we pray
That's word, we pray, pray, ah yeah, we pray, pray
We need to pray just to make it today
I said, "We pray", pray, ah yeah, we pray, pray
We need to pray just to make it today, that's word, we pray
All our missions start to doubt, here we go
Kicking back, read these words, we need to know
Living high, living good, living long
Take a minute, bust a prayer and you're good to go
That's word, we pray, pray, ah yeah, we pray, pray
We need to pray just to make it today
I said, "We pray", pray, ah yeah, we pray, pray
We need to pray just to make it today, that's word, we pray
We're sending this one out to the Lord and we thank you
And we know, we need to pray, 'cause all the blessings
That are good they come from above and once again we want
To say, "Thank you" to the Lord with all our love, we are here
That's word, we pray, pray, pray, pray, pray
That's word, we pray, that's word, we pray
That's word, we pray, that's word, we pray
That's word, we pray, pray, pray, pray, pray
That's word, we pray, pray, pray that's word, we pray
That's word, we pray, that's word, we pray
That's word, we pray, pray, pray
That's word, we pray, pray, pray
That's word, we pray, pray, pray, that's word, we pray
Ain't it funny that the way you feel, shows on your face
And no matter, how you try to hide it'll state your case
Now a frown will bring your sprits down to the ground
And never let you see, the good things all around
Everytime we seem to let our feelings flow
Our luck run out and the wind won't blow
But that can't make me sad, just can't make me
Whoa, 'cause I've been there before, don't wanna go no more
The world can?t take me, won?t let it drive me mad
Sadness bears no remedy for the problems in your life
While you run your race, keep a smilin? face
Help you set your pace
Wish upon a sunny day, it?ll turn to rain
Use the sunshine in your heart to ease the pain
We wonder how your attitude is going down
Is it wakin? and shakin? and safe and sound?
Every time we seem to let our feelings flow
Our luck runs out and the wind won?t blow
But that can?t make me sad, that can?t make me
Whoa, 'cause I've been there before, don't wanna go no more
The world can?t take me, won?t let it drive me mad
Sadness bears no remedy for the problems in your life
While you run your race, keep a smilin? face
Life is on your case
Yes it is, yeah
This world can?t shake me, bad times can?t make me sad
Whoa, 'cause I've been there before, don't wanna go no more
The world can?t take me, won?t let it drive me mad
You can?t shake me the way I feel today
Come tomorrow I?ll feel the same ol? way
Ain?t it funny that the way you feel shows on your face?
Wake me! My heart is feelin? glad
I?ll take you with me when you?re feelin? bad
Use the sunshine in your heart
You can't shake me the way I feel today
Come tomorrow I'll feel the same ol' way
I start to wonder what?s going down, gotta feel it, feel it
Wake me! My heart is feeling glad
I'll take you with me when you're feelin' bad
I start to wonder what?s going down
In your life, is it safe and sound?
I start to wonder if your life?s all right
Are you dealing with it everyday or does it cause you strife?

Another phat lp to be made again
Hammer, Hammer, I am!
Hype like mike, So you can say I'm the

Take my time to rock a rhyme, Once again it's on
Take two, One two three different mc's
They really can't see me
[Daz]
Who?

You can't touch this, So rush this oh slow temp flow
MC Hammer, Untouchable mental flow
Chorus 4x

It's unknown what the average mc might write
I'm ice colder, So diss at me, You're going under
Believe me, Ya man ain't stevie so don't wonder

Me against no six, Or face the consequence
For tryin to get in my position

For all those who're essential, so

To all y'all backwards untalented unactive wanna be hard rap stars

Now is this too much?
The fact that they can't touch this

That macker fama lama hammer grammar'll have things pumped up
Fool, I thought you knew

(lyrics by M.C. Hammer; transcribed by Tone-C)
We are hittin' hard in Oakland
Word!
We are hittin' hard in L.A.
Word!
Cleveland, Chicago & Yo-town is on fire
Word, word, word!
Atlanta's proper
Word!
And in Miami, we are mooovin' somethin'
Hmmmmm.
Turn this mutha out
Oaktown posse they will
Turn this mutha out
Yeah boy, they will
Turn this mutha out
M.C. Hammer he will
(chorus ends early)
Hammer, you ain't hittin' in New York
What?
So what you gon' do about that, Hammer?
I'm gon' turn this mutha out.
Hammer, he is...
Strong like a lion, no denyin'
I'm in effect and you suckas are tryin'
to get with me, you can't hang
Doin' it like this, I'm in with a bang
Goin' boom like thunda, and you wonder,
How in the world can the Hammer be underneath me?
He's gonna beat me, say yes to the master and I will teach thee
(chorus)
Turn this mutha out
Turn this mutha out
Turn this mutha out
Turn this mutha out
Hammer, tell 'em how you came up babeeee!
I was a student, now I'm the teacher,
I was a member, now I'm the preacher,
I was a worker, and you were the boss,
Now I'm gettin' paid and you're takin' the loss
Once says stop, the other says flee
No, don't perpetrate M.C. Hammer is the feature
Step off, you punk, no fear, I'm M.C. Hammer and I came here to...
(chorus)
I'm improvin', better start schoolin
Headed to the top where I'll be rulin'
On top, of hip-hop, I'm in effect and you're not
Your records aren't cool, your shows are weak
Duel with the Hammer and meet defeat
Every night, every week,
I'm comin' correct, you don't want none of me.
(chorus)
I keep hearin' what you sayin'
"Yo Hammer, we knowin' New York's on the wayin'"
I don't care where you from,
I make most look silly, and others look dumb
Yeah suckas, you should, run,
I am, def on the stage, pumpin' at the club
Hammer is an eagle, and you a dove
(chorus)
(funky beats & breaks)
(chorus)
I'm from Oaktown, B-boy straight down
Takin all comers, whoever want to get some
I'm original, you're digital
You want somethin' to say, you're show is pitiful
Don't worry, I'm in tact
Whatever I say, the Hammer will back
Twice as strong, It's goin' on
and I willll...
(chorus)
T-u-r-t-l-e power
T-u-r-t-l-e power
T-u-r-t-l-e power
Teenage mutant ninja turtle
On a half shell, they're the heroes, four
In this day and age who could ask for more?
The crime wave is high with muggings mysterious
Our police and detective are furious
'Cause they can't find the source
Of this lethally evil force
This is serious, so give me a quarter
I was a witness, get me a reporter
Call April O'Neil in on this case, and
You'd better hurry up, there's no time to waste
We need help, like quick, on the double
Have pity on the city, man it's in trouble
We need heroes like the lone ranger
When tonto came pronto, when there was danger
They didn't say they'd be there in half an hour
'Cause they displayed
Turtle power
T-u-r-t-l-e power
T-u-r-t-l-e power
T-u-r-t-l-e power
Teenage mutant ninja turtle
T-u-r-t-l-e power
T-u-r-t-l-e power
T-u-r-t-l-e power
Teenage mutant ninja turtle
Now, our miss reporter was hot on the trail
Determined to put these crooks in jail
She spied the bad guys and saw what happened
But before she knew it, she fell in a trap and got caught
Yeah, she was all alone
With no friends and no phone
Now, this was beyond her worst dreams
'Cause she was concerned by some wayward teens
Headed by shredder, they were anything but good
Misguided, unloved, they called them, the foot
They could terrorize and be angry youth, and
They mugged the people who needed proof?
Then from out of the dark came an awesome sound
Shouted, "Cowabunga", as they hit the ground
From the field of weeds, the heroes rescued the flower
'Cause they possessed
Turtle power
T-u-r-t-l-e power
T-u-r-t-l-e power
T-u-r-t-l-e power
Teenage mutant ninja turtle
T-u-r-t-l-e power
T-u-r-t-l-e power
T-u-r-t-l-e power
Teenage mutant ninja turtle
Do you stand for what you believe in?
And find the strength to do what's right?
That's turtle power
Heroes on a half shell, they're on a mission
When there's a battle, got the enemy wishin'
That they stayed at home, instead of fightin'
These ninja masters with moves like lightnin'
They were once normal but now they're mutants
Splinter's the teacher, so, they are the students
Leonardo, Michaelangelo and Donatello
Make up this group with one other follow
Raphael, he's the leader of the group
Transformed from the norm by the nuclear goop
Pizza's the food, that's sure to please
These ninjas are into pepperoni and cheese
Back to the story, it's not hard to find
Ninjas not just of the body but of the mind
These are the words that their master instructed
But a letter from shredder has splinter abducted
That was the last straw, spring into action
Step on the foot, now they're gonna lose traction
Now this is for real, so you fight for justice
Your shell is hard, so you shout, "They can't dust us", four
Like some old coffee table
Since you were young, you've been willing and able
To defeat the snake, protect the weak
Fight for rights and the freedom to speak
Now the villain is showin', so you take a stand
Back to the wall, put your sword in your hand
Remember the words of your teacher, your master
"Evil moves fast, but good moves faster"
Then light, shining for your illumination
Good versus evil equals confrontation
So when you're in trouble, don't give in and go sour
Try to rely on your
Turtle power
T-u-r-t-l-e power
T-u-r-t-l-e power
T-u-r-t-l-e power

Bust 'em in the back of they head
For those lies that I know that they said

For those lies that I know that they said
Bust 'em in the back of they head
For those lies that I know that they said
Bust 'em in the back of they head
For those lies that I know that they said
It's the one you can't touch, pump it up, turn it up
A brand new cut for the Hammer to burn up
Suckers gettin' mad 'cause over 20 million sold
And now they try to diss 'cause they can't get gold
I was born in a hole, now I'm in control
(Yo, yo)
Bank boy deep is the way we roll
(We roll)
I'm mackin' for the punks
Talkin' the junk on the tracks
The hammer don't hurt 'em days are over
These are the days of the payback, payback
I'm up on the hill lookin' down
Biggidy phat rap track number one pound for pound, punks
Yeah, you runners, beware of Hammer
The funky headhunter
Bust 'em in the back of they head
For those lies that I know that they said
Bust 'em in the back of they head

If ya got something on ya chest, let it off
'Cause we can get it on, don't let the dance steps fool ya
'Cause if I catch ya slippin', I'ma have to do ya, do ya
One to the chin, another to the jaw
I know ya just bustas perpetrating like ya raw
Mash it, Trash it, search couldn't pass it
The trick's last album didn't even go plastic
Some claiming towns that they ain't even from
Some claiming they hard, but never shot a gun, Bustas

Bust 'em in the back, bust 'em, bust 'em, bust 'em in the back
And watch those suckas play dead
Straight from high street, raised by the o.g.'s
Never slanged keys, but quick to drop them B's
Put 'em in the trunk and that ain't no front
'Cause east oak town didn't raise no punk
So sit up, get up, girls they get lit up
Check it, Hammer came with the unexpected, I wrecked it
Quik, I gets mad wicked, I didn't check the rhyme
'Cause Q-Tip couldn't kick it
And that punk Redman, I hit you with the back son
Talk is cheap, it's time time for some action
Gonna make you eat every word that you said
And a trick like you would end up dead, Red
But another talk about the moms and the pops
And when the joking stops, I'ma knock off ya block
And watch ya body drop the ya album straight flopped, Fool, Fool
Trick runner, beware of hammer

What Happened to our Hood?
Things aint the same no more, no more
Chorus:
What happened to our hood?
It used to be all good.
Now everything is out of control.
It hurts me deep inside to see our people dying. Why o Why, why?
We used to play games all night long now all my loved 1s are gone This aint even cool it aint even cool
Now Im gonna tell you how it all got started. We was all young hard headed & broken hearted got caught up in the game, caught up in the hustle next thing you know we comin with the muscle. Respect for the streets was invented in our souls but thats the way you moved if you wanted to grow old. Sooner or later somebody always caught a case but we was like A students in your mamas face. We knew the rules, respect for the king. My o My how the good can change Every fool you know saying Keep it Real but we was still real w/out our steel. 1 on 1, man to man & after we scrapped we shook hands, for the good of the hood & the hood was good thats what really??we misunderstood?
Repeat Chorus
Now every little thug wanna try to get stripes, but you aint a man cuz ya stole somebodys life, cuz theres a bullet with your name on it another young thug wants stripes dont you know it. The world is mad (hardest?) on our kids babies in the ground even tho they could live. Dead and gone in their teenage years by the hands of their peers. The memories so vivid & clear, well be missing you for years, well be missing you with tears, well be wishing you were here. Life & pain theyre 1 and the same & all of our lives well speak your name. It hurts deep to know that you are gone, it hurts me to have to sing this song.
Repeat Chorus
I gotta move on but moving is hard & I gotta think because of this I found God. Our world will never be the same. My heart will always know the pain and my lips will always speak your name, your face Ill see in the rain. I miss you, miss you, Ill miss you now and for always.
You can't touch this

[Chorus x4:]
Pumps and a bump, Pumps and a bump, we like the girls with the Pumps and a bump!
[Verse 1:]
Just when I thought could I hit another one
So up jumps see me with the pumps and a bump
All stiggitty stiggity girls, getting on my good nerves
Looking like ice cream ready to be served
Wreck it, check it, can I get in it
If you wanna kick it with a G baby here's me
Cause I come equipped, I'm a pimp, a slippity slip, I suppose you take a trip
[Chorus x4]
Pumps and a bump, now many say a big butt
But if you're hip you know that it's a phone crud
It's making the brothers go crazy in the 2-G
Shake like a bottle girl fine as wine G
So when I here I got a step (to a fine thing)
Never been a coward (cause it's a eastside thing)
Just step right up to the girl with the big butt
Tell her what's up you got the pumps and a bump
[Bridge:]
Men: Ooooh! Everyone for the rest of your life there's a girl fucking tight!
Ladies! All everyone there's a man who is tight who can hit it all night!
We gotta get the pumps!
[Chorus x4]
I don't like 'em stiggity fat! (No!)
I like 'em stiggity stacked (Yeah!)
You wiggity wiggity wack if you ain't got biggity back (Awwww!)
So when you hear the rump shaking on the dance floor
Keep you bottling get your eyes and get hypnotized
But a nigga like me will dance up to some chopping and chewing
Keep em bottling you know I keep 'em bobbing
I put my fingerprints all over that rump
I'm guilty as hell but I love the pumps and the bump! (Ow!)
[Chorus x4]
That's word, we pray, pray, pray
We got to pray just to make it today
I said, "We pray", pray, ah yeah, we pray, pray
We got to pray just to make it today, that's word, we pray
All my life I wanted to make it to the top
Some said I wouldn't, they told me no but I didn't stop
Working hard, making those movies everyday
And on my knees, every night, you know I pray
I said, "We pray", pray, ah yeah, we pray, pray
We got to pray just to make it today
I said, "We pray", pray, ah yeah, we pray, pray
We got to pray just to make it today, that's word, we pray
Now I just think that you can do whatever you want
I'm bustin' these rhymes, making this money and I won't
Forget my people or my town or my ways
And on my knees, every night, I'm still gonna pray
That's word, we pray, pray, ah yeah, we pray, pray
We got to pray just to make it today
I said, "We pray", pray, ah yeah, we pray, pray
We got to pray just to make it today, that's word, we pray
Time and time and time and time and time again
I kept on knocking but these people wouldn't let me in
I tried and tried and tried and tried to make a way
But nothing happened till that day that I prayed
That's word, we pray, pray, ah yeah, we pray, pray
We got to pray just to make it today
I said, "We pray", pray, ah yeah, we pray, pray
We got to pray just to make it today, that's word, we pray
Children dying, oh so fast from this or that
Need that money, bookin' that dope, smokin' that crack
Ten years old, stand outside, better looked out
Dead and gone, never had a chance, what's it all about?
That's word, we pray, pray, ah yeah, we pray, pray
We need to pray just to make it today
I said, "We pray", pray, ah yeah, we pray, pray
We need to pray just to make it today that's word, we pray
Pray, pray, that's word we pray, thats word we pray
That's word, we pray, that's word, we pray
That's word, we pray, pray, ah yeah, we pray, pray
We need to pray just to make it today
I said, "We pray", pray, ah yeah, we pray, pray
We need to pray just to make it today, that's word, we pray
All our missions start to doubt, here we go
Kicking back, read these words, we need to know
Living high, living good, living long
Take a minute, bust a prayer and you're good to go
That's word, we pray, pray, ah yeah, we pray, pray
We need to pray just to make it today
I said, "We pray", pray, ah yeah, we pray, pray
We need to pray just to make it today, that's word, we pray
We're sending this one out to the Lord and we thank you
And we know, we need to pray, 'cause all the blessings
That are good they come from above and once again we want
To say, "Thank you" to the Lord with all our love, we are here
That's word, we pray, pray, pray, pray, pray
That's word, we pray, that's word, we pray
That's word, we pray, that's word, we pray
That's word, we pray, pray, pray, pray, pray
That's word, we pray, pray, pray that's word, we pray
That's word, we pray, that's word, we pray
That's word, we pray, pray, pray
That's word, we pray, pray, pray
That's word, we pray, pray, pray, that's word, we pray
Pass me not, oh, gentle Savior
Hear my humble cry
While the others Thou are calling
Do not pass me by
I've got the feelin' and the feelin's not the same
I did the hip hop, a little Hammer and the James
But a touch, a touch from up above
And I get the feelin', the feelin' of Your love
Reachin' out, callin' for Your people
(Reachin' out)
To keep us all safe from a world that's full of evil
Tryin', cryin', Lord, sometimes I'm cryin
When I think of His gifts and the world just keeps denying
When I think of His goodness
And what He's done for me
My soul cries, Hallelujah
Thanks for savin' me, sing
Savior, Savior, why don't You
Hear my humble cry
While the others Thou are calling
Do not pass me by
(Dance break?)
I don't want the Lord to pass me by
I don't want the Lord to pass me by
I don't want the Lord to pass me by
I don't want the Lord to pass me by
I don't want the Lord to pass me by
I don't want the Lord to pass me by
I don't want the Lord to pass me by
I, I need Him at home
At work, at school
Do you need Him?
I know you need Him
While the others Thou are calling
Do not pass me by
One mo' time, hey, I gotta get my, get my one mo' time
One mo' time, hey, I gotta get my, get my one mo' time
One mo' time, hey, I gotta get my, get my one mo' time
One mo' time, hey, I gotta get my, get my one mo' time
I'm goin' fo' mine, one mo' time
I'm gettin' my goals accomplished while the others sit back and wind
And none of y'all can fade me so don't even try
'Cause I'm the best at what I do and I'm a tell you why
So you see I'm too legit too ever quit
I started gaining momentum when they put me in the mix
You'll feel my power, the stage I'll burn it up
So put it on the hammer, then people will burn it up
To the records who tried to diss this is on yo face
I'll turn this mutha out leave you lookin' disgraced
Bet you can't touch and now you regret fo' calling
Yourself a pet instead of something wet
Now brothers went long, it's still the same song
While people rollin' on, your crew is gone
You know I got it started with a kickin' gold rhyme
Suck as betta' pray 'cause it's hammer time one mo' time
One mo' time, hey, I gotta get my, get my one mo' time
One mo' time, hey, I gotta get my, get my one mo' time
One mo' time, hey, I gotta get my, get my one mo' time
One mo' time, hey, I gotta get my, get my one mo' time
Check I peepin' over there if the fellows give me ten minutes
I'll bet you I'll be in em' 'cause growin' on the high street
Taught me how to get em', I grew on em'
So tight I'm known to hight em' and quit em'
See I step to her, she's mine in a matter of minutes
It ain't how long you talk it's what you put in em'
Spittin' this game so cold and you tellin' me
That I'm not able to pick up this freak, well, you fail to see
The hard nigga is what they call me
And every year I'm at the player's balgee
Whenever I'm next you can prepare to see a show
And whenever it comes to breakin' it up
You know I'm lettin' em' win the net
And I'm the man in command, so I'm puttin' em' in their place
And if she's lookin' for handouts then get outta' Hammer's Face
I'm not the type to wine and dine but I'm freak to blow your mind
So I guess I'm goin' fo' mine, one mo' time
One mo' time, hey, I gotta get my, get my one mo' time
One mo' time, hey, I gotta get my, get my one mo' time
One mo' time, hey, I gotta get my, get my one mo' time
One mo' time, hey, I gotta get my, get my one mo' time
Hold now, take me to the bay
I'm gainin' momentum from the 90's to the bay
And everywhere I went, I made the people say
Hey, I'm makin' em' all amazed in every phase
And rap fools I gotta serve em' but this time
The Hammer gotta hurt em'
State to state after partyin' in Casinos
Doin' and tryin' that, lougin' in Reno
I got it started in Bang cock and rocked Barbados
And watched Holy field know em' out in Vegas city
After city I left the people in shock, you betta have believed
I left the whole place rock and I love the way that the money
Just rolls out, fifteen hundred cities every one of em' sold out
Private jets, good times and bad times, suckas be tryin' to diss
So I'm comin' with mad rhymes
All of these things often come to mind
But guess what y'all? Here comes the payback to her
I'm doin' it one mo' time
One mo' time, hey, I gotta get my, get my one mo' time
One mo' time, hey, I gotta get my, get my one mo' time
One mo' time, hey, I gotta get my, get my one mo' time
One mo' time, hey, I gotta get my, get my one mo' time
One mo' time, hey, I gotta get my, get my one mo' time
One mo' time, hey, I gotta get my, get my one mo' time
One mo' time, hey, I gotta get my, get my one mo' time
One mo' time, hey, I gotta get my, get my one mo' time
One mo' time, hey, I gotta get my, get my one mo' time
One mo' time, hey, I gotta get my, get my one mo' time
One mo' time, hey, I gotta get my, get my one mo' time

Look at the stars in the sky
And drift off into the sweet memorys that I have
Of a love that my heart has been searching for for so long
And I know somewhere
If I keep lookin', that love I'll find
The picture grows clearer and clearer
From the back to the front of my mind
And like love
A love I know I'll have the girl that I want
She'll be mine, she'll be fly and it'll last
I see her face and I can't let go
She's in my dreams and my heart, so let me know
(Have you seen her?)
Have you seen her?
(Tell me have you seen her?)
(Tell me have you seen her?)

She's a thought and a vision in my memory

B-boys yo I'm so upset
Break it down hard for the West respect
Bite yo' tongue, but don't you run
The fight ain't over it's just begun
Listen real close I'll get you straight
This is no La-Di-Da-Di or a radio break
Grab yo' speakers, a paper, a pen
And pay close attention because the West is in
Servin this notice and you better take notes
The West is down and we ain't no joke
West coast b-boys on the rise
Hammer and the posse cold kickin it live
Breakin down beats, MC's I devour
Rockin on the mic and you're feelin my power
(Oooh) Yeah, like I knew you should
Power is the key and you know what it gets
I come to see your show, that's how you make yo' check
Head so big, give us respect
Y'all talk a lot of stuff sucker boy we legit
Voice like go boom and you know you're doomed
If you try to diss the West when the Hammer's in the room
When the story is told, you act so bold
Leap like a frog if you think you're bold
I chew you like gum, and spit you out
You're nuttin but a fish, a smelt and not a trout
Fish boy liver when you see me you shiver
You talk a lot of whack, MC Hammer, I deliver
Breakin down beats, MC's I devour
Rockin on the mic and you're feelin my power
Yeahhh! Like a nuclear shower
Where would you go if you really didn't know
I was chillin at your show sittin in the front row
Me and my posse, posse yell HO
Rockin on the mic just to let you know
No denyin on what you've been tryin
The West ain't dead, yo' raps are dyin
All yo' beats they all sound the same
If yo' name was Joe would his be the same?
B-boy rocker, a real show stopper
Sippin on soda don't drink no vodka
In effect now boy, we in effect
You talk that whack, we want respect
Breakin down beats, MC's I devour
Rockin on the mic and you're feelin my power
(Oooh) Yeahhh! Like a nuclear shower
I'm not impressed, can you count to 3?
1-2-3 I won't give you hell
Y'all talk a lot of whack yep boy go yell
Don't be a fool, and don't quit school
I rock on the mic and the {?} tool
I'm a real showstopper on a mission to prove
You got an education you're on the move
I stayed in class with a pen and pad
I rock on the mic and I'm no jackass
In effect boy and I dare you to try
The West is def and we won't be denied
Breakin down beats, MC's I devour
Rockin on the mic and you're feelin my power
Lyrics
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm rolling on
This is the way we roll, we roll
This is the way we roll
Yeah, yeah, rolling
Rolling, I'm rolling
Sounds like one of those funky
M.C. Hammer cuts to me money
Yeah, that's what it sounds like, yo
This is one of those records
When the fellas get on the floor
And say baby yea I'm all that
Down the highway
I'm doing it all my way
Money in my pocket (Yo)
I'll say it feels good
That I got it like that
My top dropped
Her hand is in my lap (my lap)
Alpine kickin' another selection
The girlies keep lookin' in my direction
My tank is full
My fame is strong
I got it like that
So I'm rollin' on...
This is the way we roll
We roll...We roll
This is the way we roll...Rollin'
(Rollin'...Rollin'...I'm rollin' on)
This is the way we roll
We roll...We roll
This is the way we roll...Rollin'
(Rollin'...Rollin'
All through Oaktown I'm rollin' on)
This is the way we roll
We roll...We roll
This is the way we roll...Rollin'
(Rollin'...Rollin'...I'm rollin' on)
This is the way we roll
We roll...We roll
This is the way we roll...Rollin'
(You left turn there's high street)
Gotta keep my business straight
My mobile phone rings yo
I think great (great) good news
And I'm happy as Gilligan
Big Lou say we just hit ten million (ten million)
Thinking back to when I first got started
A lotta M.C.'s yo
They brokenhearted (That's their business)
I don't sweat it because my game is strong
I got it like that so I'm rollin' on
This is the way we roll
We roll...We roll
This is the way we roll...Rollin'
(I'm rollin', I'm rollin' on
I'm rollin', I'm rollin' on
Rollin' rollin' I'm rollin' on.....
Yo! Take me to the bridge (We're rollin')
Now let's show them how
A real posse breaks it down
Rollin' rollin' rollin'
Rollin' rollin' rollin' rollin'
(You can't stop us we're rollin'
You can't stop us we're rollin'...)
Rollin' rollin' rollin' rollin'
Rollin' rollin' rollin'
[backthe BRIDGE]
(I feel it...I feel it...)
When you break it down this time
You better break it down
I'm rollin' on...
This is the way we roll
Thank you for using Top40db.com.
We roll...We roll
This is the way we roll...Rollin'
Five years of hippin' and a hoppin'
'87 Is when the Hammer started poppin' (poppin')
Got strong and now I'm stronger
The ladies love a man who can last longer (longer)
Feels good that I'm holding my own
Ducking the sticks and dodging the stones (they throw)
Dis me but never dismiss me 'cause the Hammer is strong
So I'm rollin' on
Rollin' rollin' rollin'
Rollin' rollin' rollin' rollin'
To the bridge (it's gettin' funky
It's gettin' funky...)
You know right about now J.B.
Would probably holler (HOOOO!...)
But sometimes I feel like the Godfather
[to the BRIDGE]
(Can't stop us don't try to stop us
We're rollin'...Hey oh
We're rollin'...We're rollin'
Hey we're rollin' on...)
Yo! Burrell can we make it funky
You see had to slip my
Cousin name in there
You know what I'm saying
That ain't me, that's Jimmy Burrell
You know he gets cousin propers on that one
I'm rollin'
Pass the loser who only can talk
About what they're going to do
Don't you know that I walk (walk)
To a rhythm they'll never understand
The rhythm of a Hammer beatin'
Down on a man's Mind, spirit for oh so long
We're moving up (yeah) movin' on (movin' on)
To a place where our mind runs free
You be you and I'll be me...rollin' on!...
Now I want the whole posse to
Ake me to the bridge...(we're rollin'...)
Now everybody inthe house break it down...
Rollin' rollin' rollin'
Rollin' rollin' rollin' rollin'
(You can't stop us we're rollin'
You can't stop us we're rollin'...)
Rollin' rollin' rollin' rollin'
Rollin' rollin' rollin'
Here it is! All right now
We're gettin' ready to do something real fun
I want to see everybody do that jump...Is dese you?
(Don't you know we're rollin'?...) I'm rollin' on!
Rollin', rollin', I'm rollin' on
Rollin', rollin', I'm rollin' on!
Rollin', rollin', I'm rollin' on
Rollin', rollin',

Don't you know we're rollin') I'm rollin' on!...
Help The Children
MC Hammer
Help The Children
Help 'em
Help our children
Help 'em
Help our children
(CHORUS)
WIll you let them be
Will you help our children live to see
Our generation is trying
Oh how we're dying
WIll you let them be
Will you help our children live to see
A better day is coming
To keep our lives going
Right is here and then it's gone
And what seems right can be oh so wrong
Let's protest and not molest
Our young girls
And help them live to see this world
Clearly
As it is
And pray for the mother with kids
Who's lost control, but not her soul
Many kids will die before they're
20-years-old
(CHORUS)
WIll you let them be
Will you help our children live to see
Our generation is trying
Oh how we're dying
WIll you let them be
Will you help our children live to see
A better day is coming
To keep our lives going
Papas, where have you gone
I see mama by the telephone
Waiting, but you don't call
Tears on the fears
And I see them fall
It hurts, but we'll go on
You're just another brother who's left his home
And family
Yeah we cry
Mama said she loved you
And I don't even know why
(CHORUS)
WIll you let them be
Will you help our children live to see
Our generation is trying
Oh how we're dying
WIll you let them be
Will you help our children live to see
A better day is coming
To keep our lives going
Money and death
The line the truth
A dime bag of crack
The end of you
Black and white
A constant fight
Years and years
And day and night
Or was it right
I've got to stand
To make a better way
For a young black man
And a land
Where the people smile
You've been holding me back
For such a long while
(CHORUS)
WIll you let them be
Will you help our children live to see
Our generation is trying
Oh how we're dying
WIll you let them be
Will you help our children live to see
A better day is coming
To keep our lives going
Children
Don't be fooled
And learn about the way
The men once ruled this country
Where we live
And read about the 60s
And what they did
So that we
Won't forget
And love one another
And give respect
When I see
A man who's old
A woman who's great
Touches my soul
Cause I know
They paved the way
So we can be here
And live this way
There was a time
Not long ago
When in front of the bus to the back I had to go
It appears
That things have changed
Maybe it's a different method but it's still the same game
(CHORUS)
WIll you let them be
Will you help our children live to see
Our generation is trying
Oh how we're dying
WIll you let them be
Will you help our children live to see
A better day is coming
To keep our lives going
Ajude as crianças
com letra de MC Hammer
(traduzida por, divane duarte )
Ajude-os
Ajudar os nossos filhos
Ajude-os
Ajudar os nossos filhos
(CHORUS)
Vai deixá-los ser
Irá ajudar os nossos filhos viver para ver
A nossa geração está tentando
Oh como estamos morrerem
Vai deixá-los ser
Irá ajudar os nossos filhos viver para ver
Um dia é melhor vir
Para manter as nossas vidas indo
Certo é aqui e, em seguida, ela foi embora
E o que parece certo pode ser oh tão errado
Vamos protestar e não incomodar
Nossos jovens raparigas
E ajudá-los a viver para ver este mundo
Claramente
Como se trata de
E rezar para a mãe com as crianças
Quem é que perdeu o controlo, mas não a alma dela
Muitas crianças vão morrer antes que elas sejam
20-anos de idade
(CHORUS)
Vai deixá-los ser
Irá ajudar os nossos filhos viver para ver
A nossa geração está tentando
Oh como estamos morrerem
Vai deixá-los ser
Irá ajudar os nossos filhos viver para ver
Um dia é melhor vir
Para manter as nossas vidas indo
Papais, onde você tem ido
Vejo mãe pelo telefone
í espera, mas você não ligar
Lágrimas sobre os medos
E vejo-os cair
Dí³i, mas ní³s falaremos sobre
Você está apenas um outro irmão que resta da sua casa
E família
Pois vamos chorar
A mãe disse que ela amava você
E eu nem sequer sei porquê
(CHORUS)
Vai deixá-los ser
Irá ajudar os nossos filhos viver para ver
A nossa geração está tentando
Oh como estamos morrerem
Vai deixá-los ser
Irá ajudar os nossos filhos viver para ver
Um dia é melhor vir
Para manter as nossas vidas indo
Dinheiro e morte
A linha da verdade
Um centavo saco de crack
A fim de você
Preto e branco
Uma luta constante
Anos e anos
E dia e noite
Ou ele estava certo
Eu tenho que ter stand
Para fazer uma maneira melhor
Para um jovem homem negro
E um terreno
Quando as pessoas sorriam
Você foi me atrasar
Para tal um longo tempo
(CHORUS)
Vai deixá-los ser
Irá ajudar os nossos filhos viver para ver
A nossa geração está tentando
Oh como estamos morrerem
Vai deixá-los ser
Irá ajudar os nossos filhos viver para ver
Um dia é melhor vir
Para manter as nossas vidas indo
Crianças
Não se deixe enganar
E aprender sobre o meio
Os homens quando governou este país
Onde vivemos
E leia sobre o 60s
E o que eles fizeram
Por isso que ní³s
Não vai esquecer
E um outro amor
Respeitar e dar
Quando eu vejo
Um homem que o antigo
Uma mulher que o grande
Toca na minha alma
Naturalmente, eu sei
Eles abriram o caminho
Então ní³s podemos estar aqui
E viver dessa maneira
Houve um tempo
Não há muito tempo
Quando na frente do í´nibus para a volta eu tinha que ir
Afigura-se
De que as coisas tenham mudado
Talvez seja um método diferente, mas ainda é o mesmo jogo
(CHORUS)
Vai deixá-los ser
Irá ajudar os nossos filhos viver para ver
A nossa geração está tentando
Oh como estamos morrerem
Vai deixá-los ser
Irá ajudar os nossos filhos viver para ver
Um dia é melhor vir
