Uh Oh Uh Oh Here Comes The Hammer – TechCrunch40 Coverage

I can cross another one of life goals off today! I met MC Hammer.

Hammer was in the pit talking about his new site dancejam.com

Mc Hammer + Shoemoney

Dance Jam (not publicly available yet) is kind of Digg meets Youtube meets danceoffs. Basically people record themselves dancing and can challenge eachother. Also you can vote up or down peoples dances. Its pretty fricking badass.

Hammer wanted to get a video of me and him doing the running man to kick off the site. should I do it?

  2. Daily Blogger

    I sign up with their newsletter, cool idea, hope it works

  3. Luisana

    You should definitely do it!

  4. Eric

    Go for it, you can’t touch this :)

  5. katurday

    Hammer the blogger? Hammer the web entrepreneur? Theres something pretty funny about that.

  6. Sami

    hmm… you got a point there.

  7. Stuart Hannig

    Yeah, I love that sentence.

  8. Stuart Hannig

    STOP! Can’t touch this!

  9. Stuart Hannig

    Man, that would be awesome to get a picture with him.

  10. Jeff

    Get yourself out on the dance floor and RUN! It’s a great life… do all that you can.. add it to the resume and the memory-banks.

    Jeff

    It’s not every day you get to hang with someone like MC Hammer. It’s a once in a lifetime thing. So what if you look funny doing it. It’s the fact that YOU did it.

  12. corey

    T U R T L E POWER

  13. The Home Directory

    haha this should be an interesting site, hopefully he doesnt spend all of his earnings on solid gold laptops or something

  14. KiwiPulse

    So It’s MC Hammer who gonna teach me how to dance :D

  15. The Dino

    YOU Running will make whole Internet writing about it :)

  16. Raffi

    Without a doubt.
    Undoubtedly.
    Yes! You should do it.
    Because if we can’t mock ourselves, who can we make fun of?

  17. Klaudio

    Hey Shoe!
    Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it!

  18. Gecko Tales

    I’m guessing Shoe.

  19. Gecko Tales

    When you met Hammer was he like,”Oh my God!. I read your blog all the time. I love you Shoemoney!”

  20. Ron

    You should definitely do it.

  21. Jason Golod

    Danielle had to leave, I have been saying, “Stop, hammatime” for an hour and a half now.

  22. CPA Affiliates

    thats awesome man!!! hammertime :) did you ask him where his parachute pants were? :)

  23. Joey

    That would be instant traffic for the Hammer. He ought to give you some of those cool pants he used to wear in return for the pub he would get.

  24. Derek

    Hell yeah, do it! What better way than to get a chance to expose your brand in more mainstream (ie non-webgeek) media? Just so long as people don’t say “Who’s that with Hammer, Vanilla Ice?” :D

  25. Modern Worker

    Too legit to quit! hey heeyyyyy

  26. Modern Worker

    Shoe, you gotta obey the hamma!

  27. Lolo

    you guys share the same hair…go 4 it!

  28. Bridow

    as ton-loc would say, “lets do it”.

  29. bmw fun

    Nice pics with Hammer. I had no idea he was creating a site.
    great

  30. Darin Carter

    Start running shoe!

    Darin

  31. Theo

    Just do it…

  32. GeorgeB

    Dammit man… you met hammah?!?!

    I wonder though, which of you has more money…?

  33. MyZine.com

    GO For It !

  34. Make Money Online

    Yep..Sure you do it Shoe..

  35. Grivon

    YES! And he could give you a badass mc-shoe-something- name to go along with it :p

  36. Jean

    Sure man.
    Go for it,why not?

  37. John Loch

    Hell yes do it !

    Thats a name from wayback – MC Hammer..

    I’d do it, just for the laughs :)

  38. techustle

    Do it.

    Then you can do the STOP Hammer time dance.

    On DanceJam that is an awesome idea. You could have DDR battles and then have freestyle dance battles. Just an awesome idea and with MCHammer on the proj you know he brings some credit to the subject.

  39. Brent Crouch

    Awesome! MC Hammer is one of the few celebs I would like to meet myself. You better do the video. Hammer seems like a really nice and level headed guy. Was he that way in person? Did he know he was talking to the guru of internet marketing?

  40. lyricsreg

    Seems everyone’s in the internet business these days :)

  41. Joeychgo

    sounds very sweet!

  42. t-shirt slogans

    Wow, small world. I’m about 15 miles from Emerald Downs.

    Shoe, I think everyone would love to see you do the “running man”, lol.

  43. Joe

    Yeah, do it Shoe.

    Also check out
    Hammer’s blog. I saw him promote it on Fox news a little while back. He’s a pretty cool guy.

  44. Israel

    me two. hammer is the hombre where i am from.

  45. Paul Hartrick

    sweeet, sounds awsome!

  46. johnnyi

    Appears that Hammer has nailed down a winner!! I’m sure it will provide hours and hours of mindless entertainment…recipe for success!!! All the best to you Hammer!

  47. Word Hugger

    That is pretty badass. With someone like him running the show, I bet it won’t be hard to get media attention either.

  48. PrintnPost

    HELL YA!..Go Shoe, Go Shoe, go go go

  49. Tim

    From “You can’t touch this” – to – “Click here”. Awesome!!

  50. Click Input

    Dude, you have to do the running man!

  51. Ritu

    Ofcourse you should do it. Its MC Hammer

  52. Zac Johnson

    MC Hammer is awesome!!! haha, that is soo cool!

  53. jim

    DO IT! It’s MC freaking HAMMER! hahaha you should wear the baggy pants too

  54. browie

    Hells ya go do it. Running man with Hammer would be badass

  55. Vizion

    I’m pretty sure I heard about this before from the internet celebraties but didn’t think it was true. Hammer is back people and you STILL can’t touch him.

    oh and to answer the question Shoe – break it down and represent!

  56. SMM Guru

    All I have to say is LMAO!!!!

  57. Ant Onaf

    If you don’t want to do it tell Hammer I’m available! I’ll even spin on my head :)
    …DanceJam seems like its going to be a cool site, it needs to have cash prizes for competition winners. Great photo ..and in case you didn’t get my drift …HELL YEAH YOU SHOULD DO IT!!!

  58. Anthony C

    I like the mac in the background…. lol

  59. Gary R. Hess

    That is awesome. I should buy some Hammer pants and see what I can do with my dancing… after I practice for a while…

  60. rkelley

    My boyfriend met MC Hammer at the Emerald Downs Racetrack in Washington. He was performing as an opener for the races. The “concert” was free, and he actually performed a new song off his upcoming CD, “Hard Times,” without a hint of irony.

  61. Blogging The Movie

    I wonder if this was Hammer’s idea or is just a front man

  62. Tracy Robinson

    Hell yeah you should, go hammer, go hammer, go hammer, go shoe, go shoe, go shoe

    One of my guilty pleasures is this stupid show called pants off dance off where people show off their *ahem* dancing skills

  63. Blogging The Movie

    Where was this at?? b/c I know MC Hammer just performed in LA at the Nike Run Hit Remix.

  64. Kanute

    Wow, here comes the Hammer.I know that fellow. nice one. I wish I was you. Great great great.

  65. King Jacob

    You definently should, Who wouldnt do the running man, if mc hammer asked?

  66. blog.rraina.com

    Good idea. Videos are what is becoming the hot trend to attract more surfers.

  67. Blogging The Movie

    There is a market for this, because I watch countless youtube videos where people choreograph to a certain song. Yet the responses options in youtube are limited or not highlighted.

  68. Sami

    And you have to ask us??? Do it man!!! should be fun

    By the way not a bad idea, hats off to MC Hammer.

  69. Chris Jacobson

    Nice pics with Hammer. I had no idea he was creating a site.

  70. Nick Sullivan

    lol that’s awesome. Good idea.

  71. Blogging The Movie

    This idea just took all the people who love to dance in the battle circles in a media viral audience… i hope they can categorize the battles, between breaking, bboying, popping, freestyle, hip hop, and more.

  72. Blogging The Movie

    Are you serious??? finally I’ve been wanting to dance off against the world.. and here i can showcase it. Muahahahah

  73. Blogging The Movie

    I am in.

  74. Jermaine

    Why not? I can see all the buzz it would create over the web – “ShoeMoney does the running man, thinking about a career as a backup dancer”
