Awesome / MC Hammer

• 1990's Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em remains a milestone in the history of Hip-Hop - it's the genre's first diamond-selling album, forever cementing the style as mainstream. And to think, Hammer produced much of it by himself.
• Sure they were a reason why he filed for bankruptcy since they were so expensive, but Hammer's concerts were absolutely spectacular. The sheer amount of backup dancers, musicians, huge screens, and pyrotechnics made for an amazing show people would certainly remember.
• His surprise appearance at the 2012 American Music Awards, with his dancers, to join Psy for a mashup of "Gangnam Style" and "2 Legit 2 Quit." (Bonus awesome: as a dancer, Hammer's Still Got It.)
