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
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?

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”
[Reply]
I am in.
[Reply]
Are you serious??? finally I’ve been wanting to dance off against the world.. and here i can showcase it. Muahahahah
[Reply]
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.
[Reply]
lol that’s awesome. Good idea.
[Reply]
Nice pics with Hammer. I had no idea he was creating a site.
[Reply]
And you have to ask us??? Do it man!!! should be fun
By the way not a bad idea, hats off to MC Hammer.
[Reply]
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.
[Reply]
Good idea. Videos are what is becoming the hot trend to attract more surfers.
[Reply]
You definently should, Who wouldnt do the running man, if mc hammer asked?
[Reply]
Wow, here comes the Hammer.I know that fellow. nice one. I wish I was you. Great great great.
[Reply]
Where was this at?? b/c I know MC Hammer just performed in LA at the Nike Run Hit Remix.
[Reply]
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
[Reply]
I wonder if this was Hammer’s idea or is just a front man
[Reply]
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.
[Reply]
That is awesome. I should buy some Hammer pants and see what I can do with my dancing… after I practice for a while…
[Reply]
I like the mac in the background…. lol
[Reply]
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!!!
[Reply]
All I have to say is LMAO!!!!
[Reply]
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!
[Reply]
Hells ya go do it. Running man with Hammer would be badass
[Reply]
DO IT! It’s MC freaking HAMMER! hahaha you should wear the baggy pants too
[Reply]
MC Hammer is awesome!!! haha, that is soo cool!
[Reply]
Ofcourse you should do it. Its MC Hammer
[Reply]
Dude, you have to do the running man!
[Reply]
From “You can’t touch this” - to - “Click here”. Awesome!!
[Reply]
HELL YA!..Go Shoe, Go Shoe, go go go
[Reply]
That is pretty badass. With someone like him running the show, I bet it won’t be hard to get media attention either.
[Reply]
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!
[Reply]
sweeet, sounds awsome!
[Reply]
me two. hammer is the hombre where i am from.
[Reply]
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.
[Reply]
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.
[Reply]
sounds very sweet!
[Reply]
Seems everyone’s in the internet business these days
[Reply]
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?
[Reply]
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.
[Reply]
Hell yes do it !
Thats a name from wayback - MC Hammer..
I’d do it, just for the laughs
[Reply]
Sure man.
Go for it,why not?
[Reply]
YES! And he could give you a badass mc-shoe-something- name to go along with it :p
[Reply]
Yep..Sure you do it Shoe..
[Reply]
GO For It !
[Reply]
Dammit man… you met hammah?!?!
I wonder though, which of you has more money…?
[Reply]
Just do it…
[Reply]
Start running shoe!

Nice pics with Hammer. I had no idea he was creating a site.
great
[Reply]
as ton-loc would say, “lets do it”.
[Reply]
you guys share the same hair…go 4 it!
[Reply]
Shoe, you gotta obey the hamma!
[Reply]
Too legit to quit! hey heeyyyyy
[Reply]
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?”
[Reply]
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.
[Reply]
thats awesome man!!! hammertime
did you ask him where his parachute pants were? 
[Reply]
Danielle had to leave, I have been saying, “Stop, hammatime” for an hour and a half now.
[Reply]
You should definitely do it.
[Reply]
When you met Hammer was he like,”Oh my God!. I read your blog all the time. I love you Shoemoney!”
[Reply]
I’m guessing Shoe.
[Reply]
Hey Shoe!
Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it!
[Reply]
Without a doubt.
Undoubtedly.
Yes! You should do it.
Because if we can’t mock ourselves, who can we make fun of?
[Reply]
YOU Running will make whole Internet writing about it
[Reply]
So It’s MC Hammer who gonna teach me how to dance
[Reply]
haha this should be an interesting site, hopefully he doesnt spend all of his earnings on solid gold laptops or something
[Reply]
T U R T L E POWER
[Reply]
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.
[Reply]
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.

[Reply]
Man, that would be awesome to get a picture with him.
[Reply]
STOP! Can’t touch this!
[Reply]
Yeah, I love that sentence.
[Reply]
hmm… you got a point there.
[Reply]
Hammer the blogger? Hammer the web entrepreneur? Theres something pretty funny about that.
[Reply]
Go for it, you can’t touch this
[Reply]
You should definitely do it!
