M.C. Hammer - U Can't Touch This | REACTION!! HE WENT OFF!🔥🔥🔥

[@htbald1]

The real M.C. Hammer jam is "2 legit 2 quit" check that one out, Hammer dances his ass off.

[@joellenglass2344]

I LOVE 2 LEGIT 2 QUIT!! They danced hard in that video!!

[@ursulaturner7980]

YASSS!!! I love that song!😎❤

[@j.blessed8196]

We called them "Hammer Pants" in my hood 😂

[@gretacarrick5934]

We called them hammer pants on the backroads in the country too lol.

[@radioqueenbee7008]

Literally everybody called them Hammer pants.

[@JayBee1212]

We called them parachute or harem pants.

[@frankromero5782]

AKA “genie pants”

[@DaisyChain3339.]

We all called them that.

[@yumeccasimms3952]

Now this is one brotha whose humanitarianism is soooo underrated. Hammer helped many people by taking them off of the streets , some straight out of jail and others just down on their luck by giving them jobs and taking them on tour with him. And when the money left, they left. People give Vanilla Ice the credit for taking rap mainstream, but it was Hammer with this song. And Run DMC before him with "Walk This Way." I'm glad you're giving him his flowers. He's more than deserving. ❤

[@Kim-427]

Yeah,Many of those people were friends from the neighborhood they weren’t just strangers. It wasn’t so much that they left because the money ran out. Many of them not use to structure would get into fights with others from opposite gangs that were there as well and Hammer had to spend money to straighten things out and they were just bad for business. So, Some ended up just going back to the street. I don’t know if you understand this but many people from the neighborhood will come back and lookout as we call it. But,Hammer learned a valuable lesson that you can’t help everybody. Lol Believe it or not a rapper/ actor by the name of Ice-T can be credited with taking Rap mainstream as well with a Rock/Rap band. He recorded and performed a song called “Fuck the Po$&@e”.That song exposed to his predominantly white audiences helped and a trio of three white guys called the “Beastie Boys”helped as well. Just adding a lil info to your comment. Lol

Parachute pants was the style then. We danced back in the late 80s and early 90s. We didn't just shake ass. You came away from the dance floor tired and sweaty. And EVERYONE danced nobody held up the walls.

First things first, another amazing reaction by you. Secondly, all these new age rappers need to recognize a LEGEND and a GOON when they see one! MC Hammer was running all of Cali (he is from the Bay). He is incomparable. He was setting dancing trends before we even knew what that was lol

[@PrinceJancelot]

Yeah people think Hammer soft cause he dance but there are stories of almost putting hands on some of these so called tough guys.

Everyone use to use the term "You can't touch this" for everything 😂😂😂 And Hammer was a dancer! Period! Please do Turn this mutha out by him also. Straight hit! Love your reaction ❤️

Parachute pants were a hot trend for a time. I knew black dudes with a pair in every color. 😂

When Hammer started doing gospel music, he was the FIRST Kirk Franklin. He had some bangers! For real 🙏🏾🔥 That hip hop, pop, gospel dancing.

It was not a style "back in the day". That is his style.

[@sourgir-wh6xd]

💃 💃 💃 💃 He literally invented that move.. It's been known as the MC Hammer dance ever since.. Just like those pants. MC hammer pants and people went crazy for em. Lol. Ask any 40+ year olds able the dance and and pants. They'll know what you're talking about 😆

[@glamourisbest]

Awesome reaction as usual! Please react to ‘They put me in the mix’ by Hammer. I love the dancing in that one too.

[@sinderella23]

I'm dead!💀😂😂😂😂🤣 You looked so confused when you stopped the video. There needs to be a GIF of your expression😭 But Hammer deserves so much respect. If you ever watch his docuseries that came out a few years back, you'll see why. He got clowned for everything rappers did after him. I guess someone always has to pave the way. All the way from Compton in his trash bag pants...you a fool for that one😂

[@Retro_J_Gaming]

Hammer is an insane performer! You need to see his video for "Pumps and a Bump" to really see his moves. P.S. not the alternate swimming pool video.

[@SPLASHGOD575]

Right cuz I remember that and Hammer was trippin🤣

[@brittywren2877]

Oh not pumps and a bump 🤣💀 I forgot

That dance where he is going left to right is called The Typewriter! Lmbo just typing it, but it's true. Something you youngsters don't know about the pain of having to correct an error you typed on a typewriter. I can't even find an emoji! Lol wow! 🤣

[@mikey2cool11]

💯 typewriter was classic 🔥

[@CapitolVisions]

Ironiclly he has a song called Dancin Machine 🤣 Hammer was FEARED on the streets. If another rap artist put Hammer's name in their mouth Hammer PULLED UP DEEP. Dude is a G. Theres a few interviews by artists that he pulled up on ask Third Base 😂...MC Serch found out the hard way.

[@LadybugLuv]

Please Hammer don't hurt em!

[@jasonmgomez]

they put me in the mix!

[@gargadow]

Funny you said he's a dancing machine because he has song and video called "Dancing Machine". Nobody made party hip hop tunes like Hammer. He gets down in all his videos, "Let's get it Started" and "They Put me in the Mix" along with dancing machine. You should check 'em out.

[@rochellelove3785]

Shawny dancing and trying to do the choreography of the videos has me crying laughing every time. Before Hammer, rappers used to walk back and forth on stage with a microphone and maybe a hype man. It was not a performance. But when Hammer came out, he put on a show and made everybody step their game up, add dancers and hype men and choreography, etc. Two words...Hammer Pants. His live concerts were on another level and he didn't stop even when the show was supposed to be over. Check out Let's get it started or Pump it up.

[@d.j.w.6431]

Unfortunately I had a pair of those pants lmao..they were purple and I used to wear them with some black Doc Martens and paisley shirt..I thought I was the sh it back then. Yeah man dancing was a HUGE part of Black Culture back then..we used to dance all night literally in clubs. We would come out the club sweating. That goes back as far as the 70s and 80s.

[@MikeB39648]

From your comment he's a dancing machine, he actually has a song called "Dancing Machine" you should definitely check it out.

[@joycewalbert1413]

This was SO HOT! So much energy! I forger WHAT these pants were called- but I had a pair!!! Very comfey!!!

[@newman8180]

Dude, those pants were MC Hammer's signature. And MC Hammer just so you'll is who influenced people like Bobby Brown and Chris Brown. Although I lot of people will not give him credit he has definitely made his mark in the music industry in the late 80's and early 90's. He was and still is the bomb in my opinion.

[@fourthgirl]

MC Hammer aka Stanley Burrell is the pride of Oakland CA. In his youth, he was a bat boy for the Oakland A's. Reggie Jackson and the A's owner thought he looked like baseball legend Hank (The Hammer) Aaron, and the nickname stuck. During his heyday, he had hit records, main song in Addams Family movie, a Saturday cartoon called Hammer-Man. Hammer still lives in Tracy CA with his wife of almost 38 years Stephanie and they have raised five kids, and a nephew. Although always mentioned for his infamous financial fall, Hammer employed people from Oakland who needed a job. Hammer has never been broke. He is heavily invested in tech, produces acts, involved with youth ministries in the states and abroad. Truly a wonderful man.

[@UnclePengy]

Those were called parachute pants or harem pants. Popular style in the late 80s-early 90s. That was the early days of "sampling." Hammer got in trouble with this song for sampling the main riff from Rick James' "Super Freak" without permission. Hammer was sued by James, but it was settled out of court, with Hammer agreeing to credit James as a songwriter.

[@IceManLikeGervin]

MC Hammer got that pants style from Bobby Brown. Bobby wore them first then Hammer asked Bobby if he could sport them in his shows/videos...sign of respect between the two artists at the time. No biting allowed.

[@davidlagassee8236]

this song is from back when hip hop was good and had some music ./ he is right. no one today can touch that.

[@Summertyme75]

Awesome reaction 😂😂 hammer was everything back then. It's funny that you called him a dancing machine cause he has a song called Dancing Machine. You should react to it 🤎

lol 😂 Those were actual hammer pants. There are female versions of them as well. I had 3 pair. You have to see all of those videos. He was a dancing nut. Turn this Mutha Out” I believe the song is called “Pump It” “Let’s Get It Started” with Oaktown 3-5-7 dancing with him. He changed up his style and went gangster with “Bumps and a Pump” if you get that one there are 2 videos don’t do the one with him his and everyone in bathing suits lol Do the other video.

[@kimberlypage5285]

That was HIS style back in the day 😂. I didn’t see folks walking around in those pants (at least not on the East Coast). He was an excellent performer. His concerts went crazy! 🔥🔥🔥 But the scale of his shows and having to pay the dancers and singers (there were at least 30 of them) contributed to his financial troubles. Check out his girl group Oaktown’s 3-5-7. They also danced their butts off.

[@thelastdon1]

I was about to say exactly that. That was definitely HIS style. I'm from Philly and never saw dudes walking around like that. He made it work for him :-)
