MC Hammer : I disappeared to spend time with my family and prepare my new music and show. Loader : Go Hammer Go Hammer Go!@!!!! Loved you man, been a long time since we heard you. Tell me in this age of gangsta rap, do you think you'll be able to hit it big again with your clean rap? MC Hammer : My music moves the people and there r more people who want to have fun than who want to die. Mainman : What do you think of Eminem? With his racial music and homophobia do you think he should have been nominated for the Grammy's? MC Hammer : Eminem is a great lyricist and his record sales qualifies him for Grammy nomination. I personally am not into his content. Princess : i wanna know more about the bankruptcy... MC Hammer : It was 1996. Six years ago. And it was a very worthwhile and needed experience. Poppy : Hammer will your shows still have those massive sets and awesome dancers? MC Hammer : Yes, we do big shows. dino : hammer , ru really gonna rock bangalore, cos i feel that ur show has been hyped too much MC Hammer : We will actually be better than the hype... Arunjam : HI Hammer! you really Thump The Beats dude!!!!!!!!! MC Hammer : Its all good!

Kasey : Hi Hammer WOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO so how different is your music now compared to what it was like almost 9 years ago from now? MC Hammer : I am a better dancer now and the music is more exciting and sonically profound. In other words, its pounding Princess : So why did you go broke? MC Hammer : I filed a bankruptcy but I didn't go broke! Musicbuddy : Stanley YOU ARE THE BEST---Do you think there was a jinx on the rappers who won the Grammy with you that year? Vanilla Ice has has his share of problems and we almost lost you? MC Hammer : No, I don't believe in jinxes. Life is made up of challenges. And we all have to accept them. Jamie : Hammer what do you think of the current scene of rap music? are you disillusioned with the whole scene with Snoop Doggy behind bars, Notrious Mr Big dead....? Rap seems to have become more of an agrressor than a healer MC Hammer : Rap music was never a healing music for most anyway. Snoop Dog is not in jail. And the death of the Notorious BIG and Tupac was a result of social and political problems. Princess : So what did the bankruptcy teach you? MC Hammer : Be very careful of who you put your trust in. And if you give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day. If u teach him to fish, he can eat for life. Jena : Stanley tell us about your latest album Family Affair MC Hammer : Family Affair was never released to the retail stores. It was a studio album and I only allowed some Internet downloads. Natasha : Stanley why isn't your new album being aggressivley promoted in the West? MC Hammer : Its not time yet. The album is in my opinion monumental and it must be promoted with the whole world in mind. And all of the songs have their own life and meaning. So, there will be no rush but the album will be revealed to the world strategically. poochies : hi hammer...ive been a great fan of yours..will u ever perform in delhi, india?
