It’s Hammer Time (Again)

We’ve seen many recording artists make comebacks. Most recently, Britney Spears has relaunched her image and her music career. And I can remember at least a half dozen incarnations of Madonna.

But now, it seems the most unlikely of comebacks is well underway. Stanley Kirk Burrell, aka MC Hammer, rose to fame in the late 80s with some tight dance moves and some very wide pants. But plagued by overexposure, rampant parodies and ultimately bankruptcy, the hammer fell down hard and has been laying low for almost a decade… until now.

Re-emerging (almost) stronger than ever, Hammer is tearing it up with DanceJam.com — a great site that celebrates all things dance and allows Hammer fans of all ages to share video clips of their own interpretation of the “Hammer Dance”.

You can also find him on Twitter, with over 20,000 followers! And just recently, he appeared in a tv spot for ESPN.

Seems no one can “stop” the Hammer.
