MC Hammer - Pump It Up | REACTION!! THEY WENT OFF!🔥🔥🔥

[@tao4999]

MC Hammer was so fun! Too bad back at that time Black America cancelled him. “Gangsta rappers” got jealous & called him a “sell out” because he built a brand & started doing commercials. He was sincerely one of the most generous entertainers of that time. Now look at all those same artists who clowned him for going mainstream & branding, doing commercials, acting, pushing their own drinks & clothes etc. MC Hammer💕🔥

[@ShogunOfHarlem]

"... Black America cancelled him." A lot of what you said was true, but that statement is BS.

[@shermricks7340]

Black America? Smdh lol! He was just wack.🤷🏿‍♂️

[@powerbad696]

Everything you said is TRUE,Tao.I LOVED Hammer back in the day !!! AWESOME performer.

[@D2Kprime]

Pretty much. MC Hammer paved the way for a *LOT* of people to get paid. Doesn't get any credit for it. Interesting that the biggest African-American pioneers in music were either sabotaged, cancelled, killed or any combination of the three. MJ, Prince, Whitney, 2-Pac, Biggie, MC Hammer, James Brown, and many others.

What's funny is Hammer was more gangsta than all the other 'gangsta' rappers of the day.

Do not sleep. Hammer was one of the best artists to see live. And Hammer is known to be about that life…

I saw MC Hammer and the Crew years ago while they were on tour with Boyz II Men, TLC, etc. in Atlanta, GA. Watching them live was worth a million dollar ticket. I even caught a sweaty towel…lmfao! Such talent! I miss these gals/guys!

[@zora5424]

Hammer definitely had his own style. Different from the rest. During that time people had their own individual styles. That's why you had your groups like Kwame , Outkast, Run Dmc, Arrested Development, Salt and Pepper, MC Lyte etc. All different. They all had their own unique way and individualism. Not like today most look like the rest. Style is a form of individual expression. 😉

[@IzzysCuisines]

Nephew ALLLLL THE DANCE STEPS Hammer did in this video we ALL DID. That was how we danced back then. At The Clubs, In The Streets. That was just US. We as A People were ALWAYS KNOWN as Dancers and Singers. It is ONLY in this generation that has come that all of that has basically vanished. What he does in the video is how we danced.🤷🏾‍♂

I remember like it was yesterday this was Hammer’s debut single and my favorite by him. I was hooked from the first video. I was a dancer back in the day so I learned all the video moves and when I got a chance to see them in concert back ‘89’ ppl was watching me in the audience just as much them cause I knew all their moves.😂This was before ‘You Can’t Touch This’ and before he blew up. Shout out to Oaktown 357 and those guys in the hats was supposed to be a fake Run DMC BTW😂😂😂

[@Charmaine6645]

The way Hammer was in his videos is the same as it use to be on stage at the award shows. Hammer got busy 🔥🔥🔥

[@mudeasno1baby73]

And he's in his early 60s STILL with this same energy!

[@breaknbeat]

He was chasing what Michael Jackson and athletes were doing with selling products and branding. Especially, since he grew up in the baseball culture. Rappers were jealous of his crossover success and considered it corny. Now today that type of marketing is the staple to being a hip hop star now. So ironic.

That sh..t was tight tho you rite..that beat, his moves, the whole thing..I still come back to this & bump this whole album every now & again some 30+ yrs later..classics stay official they never go out of style. He still had it into the 90s its just the record companies added on to his concerts & shows too many extra dancers & crazy glittery suits on him & he lost his street cred as the pop scene crowded out his street scene. But late 80s at this point he was like the hottest thing on the West coast..but they were still bumpin' this & Turn this Mutha Out on every station even Hot 97. I remember that whole period. Hip Hop was barely 10 yrs old so it was a mixed bag of styles unlike today. Ppl in the streets was bumpin' this hard tho. His style seems kinda funny today but nobody had seen nothing like this before except maybe MJ was a body moving type music & the break dancing scene. In fact some stations DJs tried to say he was overshadowing MJ but everybody knew that was saying too much. His style of Hip-Hop made cars bump hard & his whold style got in you & made ppl get hype & dance. Hip Hop today has lost alotta that freedom of diversity of styles. It was a body type Hip Hop. It was just a d'ffrnt time. I'm glad I lived to see it tho.

[@j.baldwin3012]

Nobody ever questioned his dancing, it was just that his rapping was kind of weak. It's really just that he came along at a time where gangster rap was taking over. If he had come out 5 years earlier there wouldn't have been a problem.

[@shawnmoe1123]

Let me give you some background on this song you see in the beginning of the video before the song started the East Coast Dissed Hammer 🔨 Hard and thought he was a sucka and couldn’t rap but found out that was false Run DMC LL Cool J Doug E Fresh 3rd Bass to name a few so he just did his thing and sold so many records Hammer was that guy and I’m from the bay I’m certified 💯

[@shawnwilliams9689]

This was in response to people who were dissing Hammer. The ones telling him to shut up and sit down. He had a huge beef with Run-D.M.C back in the days.

One of the first rappers to get commercial deals and even be a commercial rapper cuz he can REALLY rap, not just the entertainment the stuff he did. I think he was the first rap millionaire too. At least having tens of millions. Ppl called him a sellout etc. Now every rapper is selling something. Heck even Nas did a Sprite commercial.

[@powerbad696]

The other rappers were JEALOUS of Hammer after he had the cross over hit-Can't Touch This !!!Even Tupac called Hammer a SAMBO and a SELL-OUT.Tupac was a hypocrite tho,he did the dancing routine with Digital Underground TOO.Talk about calling the kettle BLACK !!!
