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

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

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.

Parachute pants were built completely different. These are true Hammer pants NOT parachute pants.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Still untouchable. The legend goes on.

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

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.

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

Catchy as hell!!

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

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

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

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

Yes it was like this at the school dances

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

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

Pumps and a bump by Hammer

Yes, thats how your parents Danced....

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 ✌️

The Typewriter! LOL

Yes, we were

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

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 😂

This video is great in dancers also.

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

Yea!!!!!

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

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

MC Hammer is a total Class act!

Gotta love Hammer!

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

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

❤

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'

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

Thanks for the big picture of the artist.

All ages loving this from grandma to baby T.

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

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.

The type writer

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.. :)

It's HAMMER Time!

This was my 1st concert 😂 14 years old

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

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

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

懐かしい😂✨💞🎌

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.

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

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!

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

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

Another good one is 2 Legit by MC Hammer

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

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

ハマタイ〜ム！

Hi from Australia

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...

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

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

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

An awesome song 🎵

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.

Soft and Wet by MC HAMMER

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

We had the video to practice dance for parties lol 😂

His gospel is fabs too- “ Pray”!

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

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

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

I remember this when I was a kid

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

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

"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.

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

MC Hammer Rocks 💜

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.

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...🤣🤣🤣

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.

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

Man...i had a pair of those pants.....

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

The album.please don't hunt em.was actually prerry dam.good

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!

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

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

Omg dancing is dancing. Hahahaha

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

1990 was a great year for music.

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."

The song Pump it up

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.

I believe this song was released in 1990

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