    Yes, we all loved MC Hammer and so many of the early 90s acts. They had energy. I remember trying to dance to this when I was a kid, trying the moves in the video. NOPE. You needed endurance just to be able to do some of the stuff for more than 1 minute. Watch a live MC Hammer performance. He and his crew were doing that for long stretches at a time. The desire to dance to this music gave you reason to keep up your cardio. BTW that side shuffle is iconic. LOL
    Also gotta say, I'm not really surprised you young guys haven't heard of this music. Your ears are likely bombarded by the new "pop" music and commercials. Music that's older tends to get relegated to "classics", "oldies", "retro", "old school", "throwback", etc. I get it. That's what radio does, pushes the new. But I'm glad you guys are taking an interest in the old music, even if it's just for developing your channel. If you have a broader perspective, or greater knowledge and experience, and you learn from that, then marketing will have less effect on you and whatever new songs come out, if they suck, you won't be fooled to believe they are good. Good luck.

    Fun fact: when Hammer came out, his brand was a “wholesome and friendly rapper”. Other rappers thought he was soft. They soon found out, he was not as he stepped to many a rapper face to face to ask if they had a problem with him and they backed down. Hammer was nice but absolutely no punk 😩😩

      He was also pretty much "acceptable" among audiences who hadn't listened to rap before. Like, there were little girls in the suburbs doing dance routines to this song at their school talent shows, where there was no way a lot of their parents would have considered rap appropriate music even a year earlier, aside from a couple of gimmick songs.

    MC Hammer was EVERYTHING for 3 years running. His “Pray” is the greatest. Talent, generosity, faith. He had it all. Ex-military, he hired 100s of dancers to tour with him, all regular kids off the streets. Trained them, work outs, no drugs . . . His generous nature was his downfall - it couldn’t support the weight of all those ppl and he lost millions, tried to go hard core rap, realized he needed to go back to his faith and true self. He’s got a great story - check it out. So very talented.
