“There’s a tremendous amount of dancing going on, and that was the foundation we laid, going from the late ’80s into the ’90s, celebrating the art of dance, beats, performance, music,” MC Hammer said.
In addition to speaking on ‘Ye and Drizzy, the “Hammer Time” rapper also made time for nostalgia during his interview, recalling the star-studded “2 Legit 2 Quit” music video.
“That whole project we had a lot of fun,” he said. “We had the Addams family involved in that project — so many people involved in that project. It’s just a historic video, so we’re going to celebrate the music.”
