It's just nice to remember a time when ppl actually danced. Today, guys just pretty much stand in one spot while moving their upper body around a little.. and girls just twerk and/or get low. Back in the day, people danced!

I've never been a fan of dancing in general, but my god... seeing the way people just dry hump on the dance floor today and call it "dancing" and now seeing this again, I can definitely appreciate the dancing from back in the 80s and 90s.

I know, what you say it so true. I was at a wedding reception with lots of people in their 20's. They could NOT dance a lick! They had the D.J. play their music that they liked and THEY STILL couldn't dance at all except for the twerking.

@@TheJokesterSCR I miss break dancing performers. Check the Pet Shop Boys New York City Boy to see a bit of good break dancing imo.

The best thing about Hammer is he’s a proper nice guy.

When I met him, he was kind of an ass hat. But, this was at the time he had his entourage of hangers on/leaches. I walked out of a business and happened to be close to him on a sidewalk. He wasn't real friendly and his "posse" thought it was okay to put their hands on me. After he had to go through what he went through... He's probably a more humble person.

@@sereneamani1713 In LA . With the gift of hindsight, I do wonder how it would be for me if strangers just wanted, wanted , wanted all of the time. What bothered me was that I was paying zero attention to him or his people and it was turned into something. Funny in some ways, sad in others.

I remember when everyone was wearing the parachute pants 😃..Hammers dance crew was great !

McHammer spent most of his money in his community. The music industry asked him to do other things but he refused. I love this man. Heart of gold.

This reminds me of childhood. Damn good time to be young! Go Hammer, we all loved you and always will!! U Cant touch this!! Hammertime!

When I first heard this song (the day it came out) I was like...WOW! This was truly revolutionary.

They called them parachute pants! Hammer actually just about ran the Oakland A's baseball team. He started as a batboy, but Charles O. Finley who owned the A's lived in Chicago. He noticed Hammer and gave him the assignment of keeping an eye on the team and informing of what was going on. That's why if you notice in the video they were wearing Oakland A's jerseys. 🤔😎

He didn't lose his mind. He was just too generous to a lot of people.

One of my all-time favorites. Can't touch this!!!

It's good to see people still feel the Pure Energy of Hammer. When I'm 85, play this song. I'll hop out of bed and do the typewriter with the nurses.

Love the classics, can't wait for this to be on the oldies station and having my grandkids asking "Was this in black and white?"

I’m a white 71 year old woman (don’t think granny pants) and I enjoy watching this about as much as you did! I think it’s sooo cool! Can’t touch this. Break it down, and Hammer Time!!! Now, those pants gonna take a minute to get used to. But I loved the beetle crawl he did in them!

One of the greatest entertainers of all time.

One of the most gangster ever as well! Don't ever diss his momma.

One of the most underrated dancers !

I tried to do Hammer's double spin a million times. Never could.

We were definitely doing The Hammer dance or at least trying to lol.. playing this song in the clubs in the early 90's was a damn good time! 💯💣💥

Saw him live back in the day, it was so much fun.

I never was much of a rap fan but I sure was a MC HAMMER fan. He was a very humble man, that his so called friends took advantage of at the height of his career but I think at end of the day he's at peace because he is doing God's Work.

Some music just makes you dance :) Smooth music, smooth dancers.

I’m here what’s good family that’s my dude Mc Hammer true OG they can’t dance like him 🔥💪🏽

Hammer is insane but these girls oh my god they are amazing!

I remember Hammer on MTV and Club Days yeah 🤘😆👍🎤🎶

I met him m😅times in Northern California. He was a nice, sweet man who tipped really well. 😊

This was the sh…..t….everyone love Mc…happy music!

What Time Is It ? IT’S HAMMER TIME !!🤣 This would be a great song to play at schools all ages to get kids active, in the gymnasium, out on a schoolyard… it would be great to see kids happy & dancing 💫🎉☮️💜

Loved those days. Young Canadian.

Yes, he is now a church minister. This is the best rap song and rap video ever made. Came out around 1987. The pants? Harem pants. Dance competition? Only if wearing harem pants and dancing as good as MC hammer. Ha, ha! That'll take a lot.

Hammer is ex-military, then ⭐️ and finally minister. Seems a good guy -and he was extremely popular with everyone. He and his family had a reality show back in the day too.

Blue is definitely her color. 💙 It really goes well with her skin tone

This was my favourite song as a kid had this playin in the school discos 😂😂😂😂

Can you please react to Roxette “It Must Have Been Love” ? Her voice will blow you away as much as “Alone” by Heart did!

Ole school baby! Thanx for this. Awesomeness

MC Hammer dance contest ☀️

haha! just love u guys ! ya another one we used to dance too in the clubs back in the day ! love u find all these ! hammer time !

Those baggy pants were actually called pantaloons. From what I remember, those were most popular not long after the dark ages. They have been around a long time.

I was 20 years old y’all we danced we used to get out the car and park and dance 🕺 ❤

I listen just to hear that high note yas!

Hammer was great

You 2 make me smile! Hammer was bigger then life.. wow..

“See, you’re older than me.” 🤣

I still remember my daughter dancing back and forth across the dining room to this song while I was cooking dinner!

The moonwalk in place at 2:55 is tight !

Yassss!

The sample of "Super Freak", which forms the basis of the song, led James (and other performers on the original record) to file a lawsuit for copyright infringement, which was settled out of court, with "Hammer agreeing to credit James as a songwriter!"

Oh man! '88 '89 in New Orleans clubs was nothing but 'Hammertime. Loved those days and all the women. 😎

Now you got to watch the Living Color version. It’s a def must see 😂

Yes, have a dance 🩰 contest! Love ❤️❤️ you both!!🙂💖😊❤️

Thanks for making me feel old 🤣 Keep up the good work

I still know every word 😂💖

Pump a little bit and let 'em know it's goin' on Like that, like that Cold on a mission, so fall on back Let 'em know, that you're too much And this is a beat, uh, they can't touch Yo, I told you (U can't touch this) Why you standin' there, man? (U can't touch this) Yo, sound the bell, school's in, sucka (U can't touch this) Give me a song, or rhythm Makin' 'em sweat, that's what I'm givin' 'em Now, they know You talkin' 'bout the Hammer, you're talkin' 'bout a show That's hyped, and tight Singers are sweatin', so pass them a wipe Or a tape, to learn What's it gonna take in the 90's to burn The charts?

Hammer is also a US Veteran. 🤩

The best ever!

Oh Lord this goes back. I miss my hammer pants, so fun to wear. Need to do 2 legit 2quit. Awesome song also.

The song is so fine we actually voted on it for our class song in 2007 and it won so we got to listen to this during graduation

Oohhh!!!! Those pants were soooooo friggin popular after this video!!!! Everyone in high school HAD to have at least one pair!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣......at least in New Jersey and Maryland... back then!!!

MC hammer was supposed to take over from Tupac when he got shot but MC hammer was a awesome dancer and thank you for the video review

M. C. Hammer and his parachute pants - so different then any one else. Too Legit To Quit , Prey , Gotta Help The Childeren. M. C. Hammer vs Michael Jackson? Now that would be an i lnteresting dance off. The Bengals - Walk Like An Egyptian. Paula Abdul Opposites Attract. Maybe just check them out even if you don't do a reaction.

1990, baby! He was the sh*t! Great dancer!

Comment before reaction, can't touch this, cause it's gonna be good. 🔥

The moment I first heard this song, I immediately knew it was Rick James Super Freak. Back then lots of rappers did it. Poor Rick. He never got over Prince. Now MC Hammer was a threat to him. But actually it wasn’t a bad idea kicking it up a notch by a rapper. As long as the person gets permission from the original artist. Rick’s Super Freak wasn’t shown on MTV but MC Hammer’s did.

MC Hammer puts on a show; these rappers tore up the dance scene;

He sampled the baseline from Rick James "Super Freak". You would love that one !

Thee Ma-ooooves😂❤️😉

College memories!!!!!!

Love em Hammer Pants!!

I don't know what the HELL I was thinking but when I was in high school I had pants similar to his simply BECAUSE of this video!😂 I also had HUGE hair! Now that I look back, I looked like a white/genie/satellite dish😂 Good times😝

Them parachute pants were cool back in 1990

I remember when this song came out. There were girls in high school wearing pants with handprints on their buts saying you can't touch this!

-now you are ready for "Too Legit to Quit"

He was a reverand or preacher befor during and after his music career

Dance off, dance off PLEEASE!! 💖💙

I had those pants back in the day

I concur with roxette beautiful lady

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

Hammer was a minister before he became famous. So basically he went back to his roots. Edit- I heard he lost of a lot his money trying to help others. He might not have understood how to manage that much money but it wasn't like he just blew it all on frivolous things.

I'm a 70's teen but this is the first time I heard a rap song and I liked it.

Ya can't touch this

Women in that era were SOOOOO DAYUM FINE!!!!!

Those were "Hammer pants" and that was the "Hammer dance"

"Pumps and a Bump" is another Hammer song that you guys should definitely check out!! You won't be disappointed!!
