MC Hammer: Stop. 'Hammertime!' (Is Now On A&E)

hammer0611a.jpg

Rapper and dancer MC Hammer stopped by to talk about his reality series Hammertime, which premieres this Sunday.

MC Hammer is the executive producer and star of Hammertime. The reality show follows the lives of MC Hammer, his wife of 23 years and their seven children. "The show takes an unprecedented look behind his larger-than-life personality and into his life as a devoted husband, father and business entrepreneur," says A&E.

MC Hammer, whose real name is Stanley Kirk Burrell, is a California native who rose to fame in the late 1980s. Since his dramatic fall from fame in the mid-1990s, he became a preacher, TV host and co-creator of a dance website called DanceJam.

Hammertime makes its series premiere on Sunday, June 14 at 10pm on the A&E Network. For more information, visit www.aetv.com/hammertime. For more on MC Hammer, visit twitter.com/mchammer or mchammer.blogspot.com.

MC Hammer looks so fat. I would say with all sincerity that MC Hammer has lost his masculine shape of an active and agile dancer. I am surprised the way it turned around to becoming fat and not watching his weight anymore. I think that, it will be a lousy excuse to say, he become too fat because he is a dad now and have family to take care of. It will be just like a woman who allow her self to grow too fat and out-of-shape and blame the transformation on bad relationship with men. On MC Hammer case, I watched him dance live in the studio with pregnant Sukania and others, and he could not move himself to his own music. I am truly disappointed. He should pay attention to the new "fat" look he has now.

Desteeney, why don't you just shut your pie-hole! We don't care what you have to say, especially because it is negative. Weren't you taught that if you had nothing good to say, don't say anything at all!

Back to the positive now! Dr. Steve, I saw you shaking you butt - LOL. Jill you temporarily lost your mind (loved it). Suki, I thought the baby would have come on set - LOL. The Hammers were awesome. Good interview and nice vibe. Staten Island Chuck - LOVE YOU!

I agree with Nicole....you guys ROCK!
