MC Hammer Biography and Wiki

MC Hammer is an American rapper, dancer, record producer, as well as entrepreneur who had his greatest commercial success and popularity from the late 1980s until the early 1990s. He was born on March 30, 1962, in Oakland, California, the United States as Stanley Kirk Burrell. Remembered for his rapid rise to fame, Hammer is known for hit records (such as “U Can’t Touch This” and “2 Legit 2 Quit”), flashy dance movements, choreography, and eponymous Hammer pants.

Hammer’s father was a professional poker player and gambling casino manager (at Oaks Card Club’s cardroom), and warehouse supervisor. Hammer grew up poor with his mother (a secretary) and eight siblings in a small apartment in East Oakland. Hammer recalled that six children were crammed into a three-bedroom housing project apartment. The Burrells would also frequent thoroughbred horse races, eventually becoming owners as well as winners of several graded stakes.

A multi-award winner, Hammer is considered a “forefather/pioneer” and innovator of pop-rap (incorporating elements of freestyle music) and is the first hip hop artist to achieve diamond status for an album. BET ranked Hammer as the No. 7 “Best Dancer Of All Time”.

Vibe’s “The Best Rapper Ever Tournament” declared him the 17th favorite of all-time during the first round. His popularity and success waned beginning in the mid-nineties when Hammer was labeled a sellout by the changing landscape of hip-hop music, leading to financial problems later in life, including bankruptcy in the year 1996.

He became a preacher during the late 1990s with a Christian ministry program on TBN called M.C. Hammer and Friends. Additionally, Hammer starred in a Saturday-morning cartoon called Hammerman in the year 1991 and was executive producer of his own reality show called Hammertime, which aired on the A&E Network during the summer of 2009.

He was also a television show host and dance judge on Dance Fever in the year 2003, was co-creator of a dance website called DanceJam.com, and is a record label CEO while still performing concerts at music venues as well as assisting with other social media, ministry and outreach functions. Prior to becoming ordained, Hammer signed with Suge Knight’s Death Row Records in the year 1995.

Throughout his career, Burrell has managed his own recording business. As a result, Hammer has created and produced his own acts including Ho Frat Hoo!, Oaktown’s 3.5.7, Special Generation, Analise, DRS, B Angie B, along with Gentry Kozia. A part of additional record labels, Hammer has associated, collaborated, and recorded with Psy, VMF, Tupac Shakur, Teddy Riley, Felton Pilate, Tha Dogg Pound, The Whole 9, The Hines Brother, Deion Sanders, Big Daddy Kane, BeBe & CeCe Winans along with Jon Gibson.
