I remember killing it on the dance floor to this track. Cabbage Patch, Running Man, The Sprinkler! Good Times.

2 Legit to Quit by Hammer has to be next. That's a hole mini movie with James Brown.

He sampled Superfreak from Rick James, which was made about 7 years before this.

I still have the cassette tape “Please Hammer, Don’t Hurt Em”. Yes, I said cassette tape. 🤣

My twenties flashbacks! The 80s were really EXTRA. This has so many memes! I'd like to see Kabir do this dance!

MC Hammer was one of the biggest singers of the late-80's and early-90's....And it was awesome.

I would say this song put “rap” music into pop stations. He got no respect from actual hip hop artists and was heavily ridiculed along with vanilla nice but now a days you can’t help but love it and appreciate it.

I’ve never felt older than I did watching this reaction! 👵🏾 I clearly remember the first time I heard this song on the car radio. The 90s seem like yesterday, but it still hasn’t sunk in that my era is now considered “old school”! 🤣🤣🤣

This was MC Hammer's most popular song but he was not a one hit wonder. He had some other popular songs like: Here Comes The Hammer, Turn This Mutha Out (His version of the 1911 song), Pump It Up, Pray (We Need To Pray Just To Make It Today), Do Not Pass Me By (His version of the gospel song), and Too Legit just to name a few.

Mc hummer had a very successful career and many more hits.

Back in the day we use to have aerobics and this was the song that kept us all in shape 😅 No surgery And no filters We had to bloody workout 😂 to great sweaty songs like this 😁

I went to a live concert and the entire crew dances this hard for a continual hour! Hammer pants were created for him due to his dance moves being stifled in dance pants! We used the first side of this album for exercising! But at my age, I’ve decided I’m not fat I’m simply supporting my famine insurance! What! Can’t touch this! 😂

I have had the pleasure of going to 2 MC Hammer concerts before and if you were drained after a hard day at work, then you were sure to be as hype as him and his dancers. They have so much energy and I wouldn’t be surprised if this video was in one take. 🤣🤣🤣

MC Hammer with no one hit wonder, and to go to his show was pure energy. The man and his true danced for an hour and a half to 2 hours every show

This was the workout song back in 1989. MC Hammer was a rapper and a dancing fool 😊 he wasn’t a one hit wonder he has some other dancing hits. 👍🏼

It was actually released in 1990. My uncle on my mom's side said this was such a popular song back during his senior year in high school, along with Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice. Can't forget Milli Vanilli, Salt n Pepa, Paula Abdul, and others. The late 80s/early 90s were so rad. Wish I could've experienced that era.

This was thee song when I was 13-14. Young MC is from the same era. He was also a favorite at the time.

This song was truly iconic of the early '90s. I think that everyone who grew up in the '90s has at one point or other made a joke about "hammer time".

So much fun watching MC Hammer tear it up!

To this day, every time I pick up an actual hammer, I sing, "hammer time", even if no one is there with me... and if there is... here comes the dancing! LOL

Another song of his that I remember is 2 Legit 2 Quit. You should check that one out.

Those were MC Hammers signature pants. It was 1990 and yes, that's spandex.

My favorite MC Hammer tracks are this one, Pray, The Addams Groove, Here Comes the Hammer, and his cover of Have You Seen Her.

I love this MC Hammer video - makes people dance!! Try asking people ‘What Time Is it’ and see reactions… if they say ‘It’s Hammer Time’ you know they have seen this video & maybe danced to it in the 80’s!!🤗🎶☮️💕

Mambo # 5. that should be the next review. This song takes me back. Hammer Time.

Original Zoot Suits were popular in the 1930s especially by musicians . Padded Shoulders , High Waist Band with baggie legs tapering to cuff ankles . They became illegal at start of WWII because they use so much material , I think they were still illegal in L.A. in 2020.

My son Levi loves this. I was so glad that he appreciated good music that was before his time :) I still enjoy dancing to this. You’re correct, it’s an excellent workout.

This track has been timeless through the years. An instant hit, and classic the day it was released.

He was a huge star in the late 80s and 90s. He wasn't a one hitter and he would preform live with just that much vigor. He is now a minister and reality show star, among other things having to do with creative endeavors and entertainment.

I think this song is early 90s. I remember dancing to it on the radio when I was in Kindergarten.

This came out in 1990, while I was in college. I never got any "hammer pants" but I did get some Z Cavaricci pants back then that were tight at the waist, ballooned out at the thighs with a bunch of pleats, tapered at the ankles. Think slightly less extravagant "hammer pants" but made of soft khaki material.

This song holds a special place in my heart. I was 9 when it came out in 1990 and it was everywhere. It was great song but about 22 years later a co-worker if mine started singing this song and doing the hammer dance out of nowhere and it made us all laugh. About a year later he was hurt on the job and later died from the injury he suffered. So Everytime I hear this song I think of him. RIP Patty I miss you everyday brother!!! Thank you Kabir for doing this song and yes Mc Hammer had other songs and even a cartoon series but this was his biggest hit.

MC Hammer is an amazing entertainer; the dancing through out this song is so awesome; the parachute pants; this song he's an exceptional artist

"Thank you Lord for blessing me...." Awesome. I love MC.

The song he sampled for his beat is Superfreak by Rick James which is the most downloaded song on the internet. When Superfreak hit 1 billion downloads, VISA used it in an ad about using your VISA card online while talking about how the song was the most downloaded song & featuring an array of people who might have downloaded the song while they were singing along to the song. So I guess Superfreak should be a future reaction

I still remember my daughter singing and dancing while blasting this song on her boom box as I was cooking dinner!

i was 10 when this came out…and being from the Bay Area where Hammer is from…this was HUGE!

Yes I remember MC Hammer he can really sing and dance this song was made in 1990 those outfits was proper back then, I am not sure what he is doing right now but I heard he is a minister or something.

Hammertime!! Hammerpants!! First Rapper.

NO ONE wore those pants in the 80s except MC. And we actually all loved to dance ..still do.

Thank you for finally doing this song this is my favorite and one of the most popular songs in the US. It was on the charts for weeks the only song that knocks it off was vanilla ice ice baby

All of Hammer's songs are workout jams. Funny how I never thought I was doing cardio to them in my teens lol

The first concert I ever went to was MC Hammer and Boys II Men. It was a great show. High-energy is such an understatement. ❤

Oh man I do not miss the days of parachute pants.

Luv Hammer!! One of my favorites is when Hammer was on Arsenio

This came out halfway through my senior year of high school.

One of the most generous and kindest person. Yup those balloon pants were a thing. Neon and all. As a high schooler when this came out was such a big cultural influence of my generation. Still played at sporting events.

MC HAMMER was originally from Oakland. He was the best dancer in local clubs and was getting noticed. By sheer force of will he made it to the top and dropped this rap song he spliced together with some producer. The rest is history. He came out with one more album and dropped out of the music scene pretty much. 1O years later he was bankrupt rumored to have gone through 30 million in bad investments business failures mansions etc NOBODY can say he wasn't generous and a good soul. His attempted comeback fizzled.

The 80's were about Clubbin' and this is what danced to...WE HAD A BLAST!!! I hope that you young people have something similar. 😊

Stanley Burrell aka MC Hammer aka Hammer from Oakland California. Got his nickname from Oakland A's owner Charlie O'Finley who thought the young bat boy for the A's looked like legendary ball player Hank "The Hammer" Aaron. Stanley would later try his hand at rap. Using Rick James' "Superfreak", he created a storm with this song in 1990. He became a sensation and even on the soundtrack for Addam's Family movie. He had a Saturday morning cartoon called Hammerman. He received hate from hard rappers like Ice Cube, Snoop Dog, etc for his pop fun rap style and videos. He then changed his moniker to Hammer and shot a video he would like to forget Pumps and a Bumps! Stanley had the biggest financial fall from grace losing nearly all his money, filing for bankruptcy because of bad business decisions and he giving anyone from Oakland a job. Stanley is still married to his high school sweetheart of over 35 years, lives in Tracy Ca. He still performs and manages young rap groups and is a investor in many tech companies. He is truly a lovely man.

I wouldn't be surprised if he did it in one take Hammer and his dancer's put in work, sometimes he would have to swap out dancer's because they would be exhausted. You should check out his live performances

Back in the day Hammer was the spokes person for KFC and I happened to work at KFC in Springfield Illinois USA. He did a concert here and our KFC catered the food for him and his entourage after the concert. I got to meet him and all his dancers...I'm 59 now but it was a fond memory

This was a 90's the most popular song

Yes. "Hammer Pants." He was known for his dancing and his whole crew of dancers. I believe he's a pastor now. Also did, "It's All Good" and "Pumps & A Bump."

The music of this song actually came from Rick James song called Super Freak. I would highly recommend you react to Super Freak.

OMG Child Bless your Heart, you do not know how Iconic he was? OMG! You are so young.

This song literally UNITED THE WHOLE WORLD FOR LIKE 2 YEARS IN 1991!! Same time THE SIMPSONS CAME OUT… the early 90s was a MOVEMENT!!

This man is an American icon... 🤷🏾‍♂️... He did his thing like no other. Never realized how long this damn song is.... 🤣🤣

College days!!! What great memories! Girls didn't wear hammer pants, we needed to have them as tight as humanly possible, but great clothes, music and memories from the 80's and 90's!!!!

The catchy beat to this song was taken from Rick James song Superfreak from around 1981. This song by MC Hammer was released around 1990

It was the 90s love this song he was dancing his butt off! This was the best roller skating song, if you couldn't skate you knew to get off the floor or get run over when this song came on. Bump bump bump! Can't touch this 🤣😂👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🎵🎵yes I still have the CD 🤣😂🤣

♪Now why would I ever stop doing this?♪ Because the musical landscape would change just a couple years later and you tried to chase Gangsta Rap by becoming _The Funky Headhunter._ Also, Hammer had his own animated kid's show where his shoes gave him super powers.

It was 80s. My oldest three kids were teens when this song came out. Most people we knew did not dress like MC Hammer. You're right when you say it would make a great workout video.

When I was little I used to call him Mc Hammer pronounced like McDonald's X'D

I got to see him in concert. What a show! Thanks for the memory.

the 80ties early 90ties were FUN. Good music, movies the fashion was comfy, those pants are called harem or Turkish pants

Parachute pants...or trousers as you would say! Man....those where the days, 1990..H.S years! 💯

Thanks for reacts To Mc Hammer - U Cant Touch This. I was in my thirty, when is song came out in the 80's. Its hold up!

If there is one thing I remember about the early 90s, it’s gotta be the Hammer Trousers! Lol!

Where I live, there is a stop sign that has a sticker below the STOP that says HAMMER TIME.

I wish you could do something with Joel and Lia!! I love what they and you are doing!

My sons, born in 79, 82 and 84 were raised on this music! Everyone loved those 'Hammer' pants, but they really weren't available in regular stores....they are traditional dance pants and are still available for dancers. But the kids would cuff their baggiest jeans and twist/tuck the hems so that they were tight at the bottom, just to get the 'Hammer' look. You might also enjoy the collaboration of MC Hammer with PSY at the American Music Awards....'Too Legit to Quit'/'Gangnam Style'. Two generations (MC was 50), two languages, two races, two countries, two worlds apart...come together and rocked the house.....in 'Hammer' pants :)

You can't touch it and you can't help but like it.

This type of music is either iconic or cheesy to you depending on if you can appreciate music from other decades and the history of hip hop, and how it evolved over a decade of changes and different lyrical styles. It was popular, when I was in the clubs at the time. Either way, MC Hammer was a pioneer and put his stamp on the evolution of making hip hop popular in the mainstream,like it is today, and defining it as its own genre of music v/s straight out styles of what's considered American rap (and not hip hop).

This song came out in 1990 and 8 year old me was loving it. This song was insanely popular in its time and the first rap song to get massive mainstream play. The lyrics are inoffensive and was many people's introduction to rap music.

MC Hammer was huge in the early 90s, so popular he had his own cartoon. Other hits, "Too Legit", "Pray" and a few others. Burned hot and then career crashed.

I liked this song back in the day. This song's music was sampled from Rick James song "Super Freak". Listen to Super Freak and you'll definitely hear it.

With it being Oct and Halloween season here are a few short Halloween songs the Oogie Boogie song, and This is Halloween by Voiceplay and the Headless horseman by Geoff Castalucci

I don't know if you remember this song by Snap! Called "I've got the power" that was the song that took hip hop to Europe. I was born on a military base in Germany and that's one of the songs I remember the most. This song got international attention too, but Snap! I've got the power was the Kickstarter for Hip Hop in Europe

A friend in his 60s immigrated from Iran sometimes wears the traditional Persian pant-baggy thighs & tight from the knee down. His nickname: Hammertime. :)

When everyone was doing the moonwalk, I was doing the typewriter. I knew how to do every dance move. They called me JJ Hammer. that was when I was about 11 years old.

Check out "Addams Family Rap". Total hoot!

Ha! Parachute pants!! He can dance though! The song makes you get up and shake your **** :). Fun Fact he was a bat boy for the MLB Team Oakland As.

BEST DECADE HANDS DOWN! LEGEND ALSO VANILLA ICE!🕺😎😎😎

5:43 - This particular move he even called the "Typewriter" :)

Came out in 1990 and was only the biggest song on the planet.

Actually, the song came out on January 13, 1990, just right after the end of the 80's.

Those pants are called harem (like Jasmine and Aladdin in the 1990 Disney movie) pants, but when I was in school they just called them hammer pants. Popular with the basketball players in junior high and high school. Yeah, a bunch of tall dudes in those pants, thank goodness that fad left the building.

Released in 1990...gigantic hit back then, and he made MILLIONS(!) from this song. Also those pants were known as "parachute pants". Was played at all events...dances, weddings, et. al. !!

MC Hammer is from Oakland and he was a ball boy for the A’s as a kid

Talk about a workout? We danced to this in the clubs! We were in great shape back then. Lol And I was 42 when it came out. Lol

This was early 90's. The spandex was late 80's, the big pants were 1990. I had two, but it was an entire outfit. A mustard color, and a two tones black/purple. The obesity rate was not as high back then because people danced a LOT.

Seek out the In Living Color parody. A must see.

💯🔥❤️old school jam

"Every time you see me, the Hammer's disco hype."

Definitely spawned the balloon pants craze. Oh well… at least he wasn’t wearing leg warmers and feathered roach clips in his hair. 🤣. The 80’s WERE a blast! So many different genres coming in all at once. I remember that being the last decade where the U.S. had chill, even if the war was going on. IMO? BEST decade ever!!!

You are making me feel my age by reacting to this song. 🤣

Ice ice baby by vanilla ice goes hand and hand with this. You'll enjoy it the same

"We are among the fortunate, for we live in Hammer Time" MTV

To correct you it came out in the early 1990s
