MC Hammer

Oh, is that? No, our class is 2002.

Chaz, it's MC Hammer.

Pray.

Pray.

And before that, just being enamored by Michael Jackson and NC Hammer as a little kid, watching Michael Jackson as a kid, seeing ABC performing at those big shows back when he was a child, at an early age, I felt it was something I could do.

So then taking that to street performing and getting the response that I did doing that and then Right away transitioning into kind of TV and commercials and booking the MC Hammer cartoon as one of the first things I just felt like at an early age, oh, I could do anything I put my mind to.

You know, I pretty much manifested meeting MC Hammer, not understanding it at four, but that's manifestation in pure form.

So you believe in what you want.

and go after it and you can achieve it, you know? So that attitude set me up to be like, as the acting went on, because I was dancing first, got signed for dance and the dance went into having a major career in acting.

Their 1991 debut, Cooley High Harmony, produced hits like Motown Philly and It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday, which was a big graduation song.

By 1992, they were opening for MC Hammer on his Too Legit to Quit tour.

That's when Babyface called him.

He, L.A. Reid, and Daryl Simmons had written a ballad for Eddie Murphy's film Boomerang.

It's what mood she's in.

No, like if I'm lucky, if I'm lucky, she's into the 80s and we're going to have some MC Hammer going, right? That's great.

Okay.

You know, she's, you know, Ice Ice Baby, right? That's all good.

You know,

it always makes me think of MC Hammer because that's what his concert was like.

Yeah,

I can imagine.

Look, you know what? I would never say this.

It was just so...

MC Hammers out, he's doing his stuff and you're impressed because it's already impressive.

The stage was ridiculous.

Anyway, Hudson went to his first concert, DZ, which led me to the question of the day, which is, what was your first concert? Because mine, I was younger than you, Hudson.

I was 11 when I got to see Boyz II Men and MC Hammer.

Ooh.

And Brandy.

No.

But lately, well, lately he has been all MC Hammer.

You can't touch this.

Red flag alert because most guys want it, but my guy needs it.

Joe.

There was no one around you that loved you enough, MC Hammer, to tell you to put a little money in the bank over

here? Really? It's crazy, man.

They just squander.
