It was great to be a teen when this hit... Entertainment! Everybody was trying to do moves like MC Hammer, Oaktown's 357, Kid N Play, Bobby Brown, Heavy D... etc. We danced our asses off....

That's some real dancing. Where you was actually sweating, tired & damn-near couldn't breath. Don't nobody dance that that today lol

They can say what they want to say about him, but he single handedly changed the face of hip hop when he came out......

can't no other dance crew f***k with this here

OAKTOWN'S 357!!! THE BEST TO HAVE EVER DID IT

OH MAN!! I remember watching this when it came on for the first time!! I went to so many Hammer concerts with my MOM and best friend! haha! I really thought I was the long lost member of 357 I had my little black biker shorts with the red skirt over it and shiny patent leather shoes! I was the ish!! This was the good ole days when everyone danced & dressed alike. I am sooo happy that I grew up during this time. Music today cant come close to the 80's and 90's. I just watched this 3 xs in a row!

There will Never be another!

Hammer used to tear it up!!! I remember seeing this live. FACK, I'M OLD!!!

but his best video was the low budget version of "let's get it started' raw energy and straight forward. his dance solo was legendary.

"Doesn't matter where you come from, just where you're at". Such a true statement that a lot of artists need to hear.

classic idol right there...brother started out the back of his car selling music..went on to being one of the single best performers to walk the earth..so blessed to have seen him back in the day..

Oaktown 357 dancing is off the freaking chain!! My Gosh! Especially Little P. She always doing her own thing but still keeping in line with TT and Sweet LD. Dem chicks are bad!!

The 80's and 90's rules!!!

Too fuckin classic! It's awesome to see back when top 40 acts actually sang live.

I remember this show when i was 15. Great dude! Alot of people said he "sold out' but what he did was put rap on the forefront.

My God. I saw these motha back in 1990. I was 14 years old. God i´m getting old. Hammer rulz!!!

I loved when Hammer was on Arsenio, I taped it all the time, lol

I feel you, I went to a concert with Kid N' Play, Guy and MC Hammer back in like 1991 at the Universal Ampitheater. will never forget that show or his performance.

Hammer killed it

I remember watching MC Hammer perform on Arsenio Hall Show. I love it! I was mad because I wish could have been the audience to see them live. I love the dancing! Wow!

I was born 86 and he was my fav entertainer and I still fuck with all of his performances

I remember watching this on tv like it was yesterday. Hammer is still my favorite entertainer. He was even better in concert when he came to Portland, Maine at the cumberland county civic center.

Lmao! I totally agree with Krystle Allen. I wouldn't dare try and do any of those moves today. I'd have to be rushed to emergency for shortness of breath along with breaking something.

DAAAANNNNNGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!! GET IT!!!!!

The only thing funnier than the fact I had this on VHS is that this guy videotaped his television and put it on youtube! LOLOL. Yo, I had 8 hrs of VHS tape of Arsenio Hall performances. New Edition, Hammer, Luther, Bobby Brown, Public Enemy, Doug E. Fresh, Levert, Heavy D, ect. Had it all converted to DVD to protect the history of Music and show my kids what real music was all about.

The king of rap dance!

I had this performance on VHS for years but lost it. We would watch this over and over!! A classic, hammer knew how to put on a show!!

That is one of the greatest ways to describe MC Hammer!!! LOLOLOL!

Saw him in concert Long Beach arena 21 years ago! He was Awesome!

I love it when he goes into the crowd. It makes me think of some Gospel Church influence. I wish I had the ball to do something like that at my Catholic church. :)

Thanks for posting this. I can remember watching this and when my cousins came over to spend the night with my sister and me, when reacted the whole routine, LOL! Those were the days.

Oaktown's 357 All mthafckn day!!!!!!!

I saw hammer last night in concert. It was great. I wish I could have seen him in his prime. His son can bust a move too!

The 90's were the shit. East Coast and West Coast were droppin' shit all over the country and then comes Juvinile and Mystikal. I guess that is why I just go to Back Spin on Serius Radio, seriously. Now its time for a little Gin and Juice.

East coast had dope jazz and blues samples with great rhymes. West coast had the funk and passion. No limit and cash money was fun but it’s like comparing the fast and the furious to The Godfather.

Man, hammer was bumpin' back in the day! I miss this type of entertainment!!

i miss these days !!!

I taped this when I was in high school and this is my fav performance from MC Hammer and 357.

Totally with you 150% - and even Bobby Brown said that Hammer inspired him and he studied his moves. A lot of people owe Hammer big time!

MC Mammer was the Hood version of michael jackson lol

Lemme tell y'all something. One of my boys cousins used to dance for Hammer. Hammer had them on a military regimen - they ran 4 miles a day.. Ask him, Hammer will tell you... Where do you think he got the bells from...came from his days in the Navy. And yes, this is when he was raw, ghetto and black people loved him. He messed up when he moved to the Oakland Hills.

He had so much energy....love it!

Happy Birthday Hammer! Wish you many many more! God bless!

hammer was the shit any body that was in to rap back then loved this nigga oh yea he killed this shit right here

I remember watching this the night it came on Arsenio, brings back memorys . Was on at 11pm on WSVN 7, Miami Florida, yeah I had to put that all in.

Man yo aint never lied...sheesh!! i really miss those days man........

Man, this is so taking me back! Seeing him on Arsenio then was the show to watch, and it would be so amazing, cuz he would put on a show! All the dancers going their thing, Hammer doing his thing, the crowd being so hyped because of Hammer, he was just an incredible showman. Hate that hip hop started to change, and we got away from this. Man, I miss seeing shows like this, hearing songs like this!

Forever a legend!

i had every hammer dance memorized! i used to have some hammer pants and rocked the hell outta them!! i could have sworn i was a lost posse member of 357 or his crew!! Lol!!

Goddamn, this is muhfuckin' BANANAS!! I never tire of watching or trying to dance to it!!

I love him always will!! nHe has got to be the best dancer on the planet!!!! I agree with you all the way!!

Hammer was da shit when he came out,,,and he sold millions of records to prove it.

bringing back memories.. i remember this day

good on ya, we need to keep real hip hop alive no matter what, just wish my parent would have done somethine like you did and record old school shows and performances so that i could watch and learn from it. but i'm glad my parents grew me up listening to it anyways

Exactly. There are alot of styles that were hot back in the day but look crazy now.

HAMMER ALWAYS GAVE A GOOD SHOW

I remember riding through Oakland and seeing one of the 2 Big MCs drive by in his white corvette...

mc hammers fucking hard! the guys chillin behind the stage and came out hard infront of the audience

This is truly a magnificent performer!!

noone can put a show on like hammer back then thats for sure

wow - i still have this on VHS and never noticed that - wow

oh my god, i have this on tape still!!! i taped it back in the day!! ha ha ha

OMG!!!!! MY MOM HAS THIS ON VHS!! She recorded over a Cosby Show thanksgiving episode!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lmaoooo wooooow they have it!! IM EXCITED!!! THIS SHOW WAS CRACKIN ALL THE TIME!!!

Dat was good ol times #classic ya heard me

Hammer was that dude. his show was crazy!

That's What's Up! Now you should convert it all over to You Tube.

"Ring 'em!!" Freshman year in college!!

Husky you are too true. I was just saying to myself, "This is the Hammer that I loved." He should of kept his crew small and tight. 200 people on stage was overkill.

his spins are damn smooth and cool

Hammer was the man!

Cardio like a motherfuckin beast!

I remember being in love with hes female dancers!

now this is what real entertainment USED to be!!

Just Rockd it!!!

MC Hammer 4Ever!

I loved when he said that too.

Oaktown's 357! love them!

Hammer best 😀😁😂

Say yes to the master and I will teach thee

One can't go too long without a Too Big MC sighting...

Hammer in the days from his first album, before "U Can't Touch This". Hate all you want, but Hammer was the man in those days.

Hammer was the SHIT!!!!!!!!

Sweet LD😍🥰

wow, that was real entertainment!

Pump it Hammer...wooooo...can you feel it!

great performer!

Vevy Good!!!!Hammer Time!!!!

Hammer at his best, without the oversized entourage. Just a few dancers and a hypeman.

Hipster, shuffling before it was mainstream

Hammer's not broke anymore. He's investing in tech companies.
