I remember the days when he was the king. He was just huge not only in U.S but also in Asia along with Europe. In fact, the first rap music I've ever heard was Mc Hammer's, and I thought it was so cool(That was when New kids on The Block was huge). I remember his baseball break dance and how it was just amazing! He sold more than a million copies of 'Please Hammer Don't Hurt' Em'!

Last time I've heard about him is about 8 years ago: he became a background dancer in S. Korea. I mean......what the hell? He went all the way to S.Korea just to become a background dancer?? Even worse, he got no reputation doing that either.

Well, I just wonder what he's up to nowadays after the miserable fail. A miserable fail of doing background dancing in S. Korea.

Life comes at you fast.

He is in the Nationwide commercial where he is dancing in front of his mansion to Can't Touch This. 15 minutes later everything is being repossessed.

I believe he became a minister.
