MY JAM FOR THE MOMENT: MC Hammer - Pumps in a Bump

Man I'm jammin to Hammer's "Pumps in a Bump." I don't remember much about this track, but it sounds like something Teddy Riley and Co produced. I remember seeing on the MC Hammer biopic VH1 did years back, 2Pac was in the studio with Hammer when he recorded this track. Anyone know, were Hammer and 2Pac close? If they really did both work on this track, it might explain why it is so addicting.

I'm not sure if this track charted, but it is a shame that the media focused on Hammer changing his image. The fact is, this song is hot!

Anyone remember this one?

How big was this track? I woulda thought it was radio/MTV friendly. However, MC Hammer mighta already been out of style when this track was out.

Here is the video:

From what I remember it was shot @ his house in Fremont, but probably still a hilly area shrug You could scream, "run from the bouncing dick!" instead nod

I love this track and also the 'Reprise' version which is titled 'Bump Teddy Bump' and is Teddy Riley talkboxing all over the instrumental, Roger style. It's phat.

To the OP - yes Tupac and Hammer were tight, in fact Tupac wrote the song "Unconditional Love" for Hammer.

Dayum, I never realized how much Tony M and Hammer sound alike!
Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

This was Hammer's desperation screaming at a ya'. The whole album was barf

Trying to cop G-Funk and be a Chippendale at the same time? Come on, man.

I'll never forget the first time I saw this video. It was arguably the beginning of BET's descent into soft-core porn. lol

I recorded it on VHS when it first aired. I recently recorded my tape onto a DVD so I can zoom in for close ups of that big ole dick.

The video was #1 on "The Box" when it came out.

If anyone doesn't remember, "The Box" used to play videos for a charge.
