The 90s were FANTASTIC for high energy songs and dances. When you went to a concert, it was a SHOW.

I was 22 and in the clubs when the song blew up. It was such a hit that people changed the name from parachute pants to Hammer pants. The song made millions he helped a lot of his friends with the money he made, he spent it all and taxes came after him. Now he's a minister in his old neighborhood out in California.

This was the shit when it hit. Even us Heavy Metal musicians had to give respect! Love this guy!💪🤘🙏💛☯️🌞

90s dancing was the best ❤️ and yes people did dance like this in the club's 🤣

I was a kid when this song came out and EVERYONE young and old was singing this anthem. And everyone was tryna do the dances lol

Too Legit to Quit was Hammer’s next hit. Your joy was adorable!

He got the moves, indeed. The Hammer Dance. Iconic to anybody from this time period. Hammer was amazing

Yo Hammer Time!! Didn't matter who you were or where you were! You knew what Hammer Time was! Great reaction!! 💃🕺🎵🕺💃

That side-to-side dance was called the Typewriter..nobody was better in terms of pure dance performance...and hype af

I'm so happy he went back to being a preacher he was there when Tupac was killed went back to his Roots a preacher man and still preaches to this day homage brother MC

MC Hammer deserves ALL THE RESPECT, I never tire of watching the vid, & the grace & athleticism of the dancers, & I’ve always wondered who did the choreography bc god bless’em it’s awesome 💙 It’s iconic for sure

The song was released in 1990. I strongly suggest you listen to Super Freak by Rick James. Hammer sampled that song heavily.

The typewriter... still blowing minds after all these years. LOL.

Hammer made the world a better place with his music. He did a cover of “Have You Seen Her” which I always loved too

People were going paleolithic when this came on. It was wild. Ice ice baby, pump up the jam, rythm is a dancer, etc. Awrsome times. Back in the late 1900's 😂

The TV show " Soul Train" is where you will see music artists live.

I’m a 68 year old White Woman born and raised in S.F.CA MC HAMMER IS A HERO his life story is real & more over an amazing man . There will only be 1 MC HAMMER ✌️

React to Mc Hammer-Too legit to quit, Pump it up, let’s get it started, here goes the hammer 🔨

I was 18 when this came out in 19.90 in the uk best song ever the first dance song I was exposed to ❤ xxx

Still untouchable. The legend goes on.

MC Hammer is a total Class act!

Everyone was dancing to this song back in the day! Pray is one of my faves by him and he has another one called Pumps and A Bump that I love the beat of and I think y`all will love both! Keep On Rockin'

In the late 80s & early 90s we worked up a good sweat on the dance floor. I'm so thankful I lived in an area that had weekly dances for teenagers. Cost us 50 cents to get in and it was so fun. That was the time of shows like Dance Party USA and Club MTV.

Hammer was *the BOMB!!* Everyone was doing this dance, and everybody wanted those "Hammer" pants!

I... am one of those people that "were going crazy " back in the day... LOL... I was 17 when this came out... talk about having a BLAST w/this.. still a fav. of mine.. :)

This song came out in 1990. I was in high school.😊

People like to fake on Hammer but back then nobody could keep up with him. He also gave you this energy and a heck of a show. And yes everybody was dancing like this.

I was a freshman in high school when this came out and it was CRAZY!! Everyone was singing it and trying to do this dance...lol. You should react to "Pumps and a Bump" That's a good one too!

Gotta love Hammer!

Yes, thats how your parents Danced....

My little girl was crazy about MC Hammer. Took her to his concert at Shreveport’s Hirsch Memorial Coliseum, where she was invited onstage with his posse. All of a sudden she got shy and balked. I neva let her live that down, 30 years later.

It's HAMMER Time!

All ages loving this from grandma to baby T.

They put me in the mix … one of my favorite MC hammer songs ❤️

I miss the 80s and 90s. Great music!

Pumps and a bump by Hammer

Yo. Great reaction. Check out MC Hammer "Lets get it started" it's his first video and hit. You will feel the vibe of how we partied back in the day...

Yes it was like this at the school dances

The Typewriter! LOL

FYI that shuffle back and forth he does, it's called the typewriter.

"Don't Stop" by MC Hammer on The Arsenio Hall show is a good one. Loved your reaction. MC Hammer was the first of the rappere to have a big production of dancers and wild costumes when performing. His performances were phenomenal. Check out the America Music Awards performance.

Back then it was common for the dancers to branch off and become famous. 2-Pac used to dance for Digital Underground and from MC Hammer came a group called 3-5-7 that was pretty dope too.

Catchy as hell!!

We all gave respect to MC Hammer Peace🌎✨️🎵🎵

Another good one is 2 Legit by MC Hammer

Hiya i had pants like them. 😂😎 Those were the best dance moves. Thank you for the trip down the memory lane.💕💕🇿🇦😎

The dance when he was moving back n forth is called the "Chinese typewriter". They also did the Running man, the bump and Steve Martin in this video. r

I remember when that song came out❤❤❤. It was my jam!

I have a GREAT HAMMER story. In the 90's i worked at Nashville Tn airport for a rental car company. Him and His Band rented a 15 passenger van with temp tags because it had just came off truck was brand new, 3 nonths later our company put out a warrent for STOLEN van, I was a manager so we got to drive lot cars home. My boss just threw on a license plate to the car I was taken home. The next morning at 4:30am on my way to work got pulled over for speeding, talked my way out of it got back on road not even 1/2 mile up the road I was surrounded by police cars and officers with WEAPONS DRAWN 😮😮😮, scared the shiat outta me. My name tag on my uniform did not match my drivers license because i go by a different name (another RED FLAG). I was pulled over because the tags that was on the MUSTANG I was driven had the STOLEN TAGS from BOBBY BROWN and Band VAN THEY RENTED 🤦‍♀🤦‍♀🤦‍♀ soooo trying to explain what happened with tag thing was (I am sooooo sure) a lil strange, however i did find out that Bobby Brown and BAND let the van drive off an inbankment (small cliff) and LEFT IT...However the scary thing was I had a ounce of weed on me and in the 90's thats a few yrs in the POPO...Talked my way outta everyting and NO they did not look in the brown bag in my front seat that had the POT in it (thank goodness) soooo all is good with BOBBY NOW but damn it back then it wasn't...🤣🤣🤣

We had No Moves... but just kept dancing as long as possible. 😂😂😂 I'm still embarrassed by old footage

Next give listen to Rick Jemes "Superfreak" where MC Hammer sampled his beat from.. I always think of it first every time I hear this tune.

This was my 1st concert 😂 14 years old

Back then all new dance moves were initiated by musicians.. Almost we all done these mo es at parties. Banging times...

Yes, we were

After this video came out the Parachute pants crazy went crazy !

Yes we did dance this way! Lol. Wore the Hammer pants and everything. This was the fashion. At the clubs, we even did the damn Kid n Play dance.

When are flat tops coming back that’s what I wanna know. Tone Loc, Cheeba Cheeba check it out.

as kids, when this came on the tv with the music countdown show, we would attempt to learn the dance moves........At least in Australia anyway and then at school socials when it came on or any other sing with stong dance moves, those who learned it, would dance it

Ask your mom if she knows how to do the Hammer dance, I’ll bet she does! 😂

Former Oakland A's bat boy. One of the players nicknamed him "Hammer" because he looked like Hammerin' Hank Aaron. Dude is and always was legit!

(2 legit. 2 quit) is another M.C. Hammer song 😊

I thoroughly enjoyed watching you enjoy this song! Really good reaction! And yes it was hype time when this song came on.

Don't let the dance and pants fool y'all he was killa in Oakland

MC Hammer was a bat boy for the Oakland As when he was a kid. Then he moved to Atlanta and got gangsta. That's when I really liked him, "Pumps n Bump" and "It's All Good."

Hammer was a actual Gangster out of Oakland did his hustle with music.

Y'all should check out Weird Al's parody of this song called "I Can't Watch This".

That dance was called the typewriter. You din't see it much because no one but Hammer could do. There was a lot of ankles out there sporting ace bandages. I know I was there. Enjoy

Yes, it was Dope at the time and still is !!!

Was a rapper that my family was okay with, snoop made me get a lecture

I was a white 12 year old wearing the same pants back then😂😂😂 and the song is great

Watch the video embrace the beat and realize he was the most gangster out of all of the west coast! That’s true

That was his style & the pants were named after him. "Hammer pants' LOL Kids wore them for a while & they eventually evolved into 'Parachute pants' which weren't 'quite' as crazy. LOL

1990 was a great year for music.

The young kids of this days just dont realise how much fun we had in the 80s and 90s in the clubs haha

Thanks for the big picture of the artist.

Hammers dancing was strong and masculine. Men dance like girls today.

If it wasn't for Rick James "superfreak" this song would not exist.

This joint get me hype and the base be banging hard in the speaker 🔈

His gospel is fabs too- “ Pray”!

An awesome song 🎵

This video is great in dancers also.

Run-DMC collab with Aerosmith took rap from the inner city to mainstream America. Then Hammer came and took rap from mainstream America to global.

Trust me they danced just as hard live

MC Hammer Rocks 💜

In Living Color parody of this is music video is something you 2 should look at .

Hammer style pants. He was the first . It's hammer time !

The dance is called the Chinese typewriter! Hammer is from Oakland CA! Known for beating boys down! Gansta! He wax signed to Death Row later on

Hammer made another video called, "Turn this Mother Out" It includes a brief scene with The Godfather of Soul - James Brown.

Yea!!!!!

Everybody had big a$$ pants. This played everywhere.

The type writer

We had the video to practice dance for parties lol 😂

Bro, in the 80s we danced like this at clubs, your hair be soaked in sweat, shirt all wet 🤣

Yes of course we was Rock and the MC hammer In the mall on the streets We were doing it

way better moves than michael jackson. can't touch this!!!!!!!

My favorite MCH song is PRAY. check it out

Check out 2 unlimited No Limits from 1993. This eurodance floor banger was a smash hit all over Europe with its bass and drum mixture. 👍❤️😁

Nice! Another good one from Hammer is "Pray" 🤙

I believe this song was released in 1990

We have stop signs here with the stop and the Hammertime painted underneath. Song still kinkin
