Artist: mc hammer

Simon & Schuster have instructed lawyers in a bid to claw back an advance they paid to MC Hammer for a book that he never quite got round to writing. Enemies of the Father: A Message from the Heart On Being a Family Man, to be precise. Apparently, Hammer took on the task of writing this in 2002; by 2004 the publishers realised they weren't going to get it, and have been trying to get the cash back ever since. Frankly, they should probably be thankful that they didn't get the book - after [...]

That's the sound of my head exploding and spraying thick goblets of cadmium deep red awesomeness all over the room. Ponder this: It's 2K9 and MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice just played a concert in Orem, Utah and there wasn't a ticket to be had. Not a single one . My vocal chords vibrate but there is only stunned silence. I wear a mask of bewilderment to hide the deep feeling of jealousy. The idea of an MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice concert in Utah raises a lot of questions. On second thought, it's just [...]

Tonight in Orem, Utah, concertgoers will be able to take in a historic double bill of Vanllia Ice and MC Hammer ; the Salt Lake Tribune preview is loaded with great quotes from Vanilla Ice , and when I checked the wires for a recent picture of one or both of the hip-pop stars, I found the above shot of MC Hammer riding a bumper car in the Wisconsin Dells. Combined, it's just too much for a blogger to resist. The biggest pop-rappers of [...]

Because being a dot-com entrepreneur/Cash4Gold shillman doesn't pay the bills: "A&E Network today announced a new original series, Hammertime , following the life of rapper and dancer MC Hammer , his wife of more than 23 years and their family of seven." The press release doesn't mention if the show has an animated component, which is a shame, because watching Hammer and Hammerman recap the hip-pop star's life and times would at least be worth tuning in for once. [ A & E ]

OK. If you're going to come up with a name for your show, this is the one to go for -Hammer Pants and Ice is INGENIOUS!!!! Here's where it's a little strange: MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice are playing a show together Feb 27th at the McKay Events Center in Orem, Utah. UTAH! Why so far away?!?!?! I would TOTALLY have gone to see this show if it was in the Bay Area. And so I urge all of you Utah-ians to go and then tell me how it was. I shall live vicariously through you and your early 90s [...]

Yes, yes, you can have your Batman and Superman; yes, yes, you might even enjoy seeing DeNiro and Pacino side-by-side, no matter how ropey the finished product might prove to be. But here's the tie-up to end all tie-ups: Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer , united, together, as one. In, erm, Hammer Pants And Ice. I suppose, at least, you couldn't accuse them of taking themselves too seriously.

I'm convinced Phonte is half-human, half buffoon-sniffing coon dog. Somehow last night Tigallo stumbled onto this gem of ignorance from the immortal MC Hammer and decided to share it with his twitterlings. A few observations: 1. "She be rubbing my back, while I'm on my back"- I…don't…I mean, what? How is that anatomically possible? I'd heard rumors but I wasn't sure- can Hammer actually levitate? Is Hammer lying on top of her…back first? I flipped through every page of my pocket-sized Kama Sutra book and [...]

First off, RESPECT to Mike Tomlin . I missed the first half of the game due to my own f-ckery but that was a helluva second half!

I'm not sure how many of you are fans of narcissistic social networking site Twitter , but most of us at Buzzgrinder update our statuses more than anyone cares to read. And many of us follow famous twitterers like Kanye , fake Kanye , Britney , Seth , Brett Gurewitz (Epitaph Records owner and Bad Religion guitarist), President-elect Obama , MC Hammer and etc. As I was checking Twitter via phone late Saturday night, [...]

Biffy Clyro singer/guitarist Simon Neil took the time to have a chat with Anne Waites about his Top 5 favourite eccentrics in the world of rock. We agreed that there are a lot and that beards are very important. Rivers Cuomo, Weezer "He went through the huge beard phase, tried to deconstruct the technique of writing a pop song, sat in his room painted black for three years, realised he didn't want to do it and now he [...]

XKCD is "a webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language" published three times per week by Randall Munroe, a former contractor for NASA.

Es claro que una canción tiene diferente significado para cualquier persona que la escuche, para algunos puede ser la mejor canción para otros la peor canción, la gente de Spinner preocupándose en esta cuestión ha revisado una lista de las 111 canciones mas lamentables de la historia publicada a través de Radio AOL para hacer un recuento de las 20 peores canciones de la historia . Entre la prestigiada lista figuran nombres como 4 Non Blondes, Gwen Stefani, Creed, Spice Girls y algunos más, la lista de las [...]

MC Hammer's attempt to be as ubiquitous as he was in the Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em days has led to him lending his new single, "I Got Gigs," to an ad for ESPN's Monday Night Football . "My approach is, even before people know about it [the forthcoming single], to pound it into their subconscious with this commercial," MC Hammer told Billboard . I guess that's why the song is featured in a dream sequence, one that even features the dreamer dressed up in an ill-fitting, business-casual version of Hammer's outfit from the "U [...]

A front-line act with a months-old album decides to push his most obvious hit-bound song to radio—a song heavily reliant on a prominent sample of a deathless pop hit. But, bucking the day's prevalent trend, he decides not to release the song on the most popular singles medium, forcing most customers to buy his album. It's a risky move, because the Billboard Hot 100 is dominated by songs that scale the chart by amassing sales as well as airplay. But the song is so mindlessly catchy, the act's [...]

Album: Please Hammer, Don't Hurt 'Em (Capitol; 1990) Songwriters: Barbara Acklin, MC Hammer and Eugene Record R&B Peak Position: #4 "She's a thought and a vision in my memory/ I haven't met her, but tell me where could she be?" While The Chi-Lites ' 1971 album, (For God's Sake) Give More Power To The People , found the group dabbling in the then-hot trend of socially conscious soul, it was a record that centered in the creamy romantic balladry they were mainly known for that ended up the [...]

Here's the OS/OHW Wednesday video for this week: TLC ~ " Waterfalls " http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =m-n-jZJhpT4 So today is Chilli's Birthday (the C in TLC...) so I figured I would play a TLC video. I was originally going to play "Baby-Baby-Baby" because the outfits alone are amazing but they the embed code was disabled. I am not going to even provide the link out of principle. Instead the OS/OHWW video is "Waterfalls". Left Eye's little girl sounding rap is amazing. Lyrical Excerpt: [...]
