“Pretty soon rap will be 50 years old…”
2023. Happy 50th birthday hip hop!
I'm ok with the commercials being left in, it sorta takes you back to a time before tv died.
exactly i love these commercials
And I remembered watching this on MTV and all these commercials put me in back in 2001
Yup
So true 👍
What??? Commercials are still being aired today. What are you talking about??? Geez.
The commercials really help with nostalgia. All I can remember is coming home from school and putting MTV on. Good ol days 👌🏻
Shidd I ain't see cable TV till yesterday 😭😭😭😭😭 we were broke lmfaoo
Hell yeah….TRL and Direct Effect
Truth
@@MrRknight2012❤❤l❤one
this is the MTV only 90s kids would know about :,(
Also first 2000s until like - 2006
Nah, couldn't get MTV in Canada back in the day, if you could you'd pay for it. MuchMusic and MusiquePlus were the go to's back in the day.
Mtv is full of gatekeepers & part of the industry.
Everybody was so young back in 01 🔥🔥🔥, miss these days.
I love the fact they have the commercials in it man really takes you back
Man man man I miss them days.
What emeniem said about Mc Hammer and vanilla ice is exactly how I feel about him and his music 🤷🏾♂️
The difference is, no one cares what YOU think
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@Goatchild90nah we care …Eminem is azz and not of the culture
@@thetruthandnothingbutthetr6484 eminem sells more than anyone even today. hammer was garbage, even 2pac said it.
Damn, that quote sent chills up my spine!..."Is art imitating life, or is life imitating art!"...Things dont change, smh 💯💯💯
That’s crazy , Nelly hit it in the money. Hip hop Will be 50 years old , looking back like ….
It’s 50 now 2023 !!!
Damn the good old days literally 😫🥰
Limp BIzkit giving props to ATCQ made me smile R.I.P. Phife
Talk trash about Hammer but he brought high energy to any live show and video, plus hit's on top of hit's I still have his first CD tucked in my 2000 plus CD collection 💯💪😎
I be bumpin hammer...I ride to the feel my power album mostly but I own his first 5 albums
@@BadTV1993 That's what's up,I miss the 90's the music that was produced at that time was amazing and every artist you knew who they were. Today music is all over the place now you have to strain your ear to find out who's who 💯💯
Plus he put his whole hood on taking them on tour with him to be backup dancers on stage with him. In interviews he doesn't regret doing that having filed for bankruptcy because he saved lives taking them with him on tour.
Listening to the predictions of the future of hip hop is heartwarming
So proud Sway and Mc Hammer are from Oakland 😁
MAKE HIP HOP 90s AGAIN
This I can get down with
80s
No way watching a young sway in the morning is crazy, especially cause I’m only 26. So I never really knew about sway back in the day since my older brother went to the NAVY & my older sisters were more into punk. This is so sick to be able to watch for a “first time”
His image and persona didn't reflect it, but Hammer was a REAL gangster. Nobody was tryina mess with him and his entourage. He was powerful entity in the Bay back then.
Like mob dangerous
I met him once, and really, he’s a good dude. Just don’t get on his bad side lol
@@pastense Heavy Facts
Sway has really came a long way..... Wow
I remember recording this on VHS when it first came on. Nostalgia. I miss when MTV was actually good.
People need to upload their old VHS to RUclips. It's great entertainment and anthropology
@@QOOQ8808 i have so much old hip hop footage on VHS
Man I haven't seen this in years. I hope you got more of this
The irony with Eminem is that the same demographic that liked Hammer and Vanilla ice, is the same contemporary demographic that like his music, Eminem is the face of acceptable modern mainstream rap, just like Hammer and Vanilla Ice
Exactly same demographics 😂
2:47 The famous Andre 3000 "Run Up on Hammer" quote.
Thanks...that's what I came here for lol
That quote will ways live on.
Oh y’all left the commercials in huh ?!?! It makes me feel old but I love the nostalgia 🫶🏽
30:57 is so cool cuz Nelly went platinum with Tim McGraw 3 years later in ‘04. Now, you got Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus 11x platinum 17 years later. Ain’t that something??
How are they 11x platinum when no one's buying music anymore?
@@benjaminwhite3585 Lol u trippin, they was packing show's worldwide don't know what planet you from😂😂
Yoo that Carmen commercial answered a big question in my life. I kept wondering about a big hip hop movie with Bow Wow and Beyoncé. I remember seeing the commercials and going to bed as soon as it came on. Doesn’t look as cool as I remember tho lol
People stayed mad at Hammer.
I loved Hammer. 😂
I respect him today, too.
Oaktown 357 was our City Girls.
They laughed at Hammer, then did what he did: ENDORSEMENTS, CEREALS ETC
It’s a damn shame what became of MTV
This is real OG hip hop/rap
After that Nelly video.. i had to start listening to underground hip hop, cause i knew it was all downhill from there..., coincidentally that early 2000s era of underground hip hop was exquisite
1:15 is when I start laughing 😂😂😂
Make HipHop great again!!! I remember this when it was new.
Eminem hating on Hammer, hammer was a beast
ATCQ forever...RIP Phife
I came down to see comments nd over half of y’all dig’n the commercials like me, real spill after school vibes, wit BET nd MTV 98-02 instant nostalgically refreshing, 90’s dec was too lit🔥
This was cool- enjoyed every mile and minute of memory lane...💕❣💕❣💕❣
Daaaaamn the commercials ugh! I miss tv I miss everything lmao
Thanks so much for sharing this!!!
RIP JMJ
If all these great artists on this show only knew how the genre would slowly decline. This was the peak I believe but hopefully hip hop, real hip hop, will peak again.
I don’t think you in the loop🔁speak’n on HipHop, yea lyricism Nt a major factor to the youth these days, I agree! but tht dnt change the fact HipHop/Rap is the #1 Genre of music nt just in America bt “Globally”‼️
I think real hip hop never died you jsut gotta dig and do your researches
I know who needs to appreciate day by day what we live but it's only me who recent a nostalia each time I watch a documentary on the 80s/90s (time of my adolescence) the clothes are special grain in each video documentary films grain vhs the music the films the atmosphere of the cities of the 80s/90s I find that this period over 20 years was unique.The nyc of the 80s and 90s with the Los Angeles of the 90s it was wow even if the 90s; LA from 90 to 93 it was "the gangs" "The killings" the "drives by" . mac arthur park was the reputation as the most hardcore points in the US the 80s and 90s. the 80s/90s years really was fresh clearly
My mother had a pair of beige hammer pants when I was younger😂
the advertising :D :D
Thank you for keeping the throwback commercials in there though lololol
MEMORIES!!!! & EVE 😘😘 was my lil boo “PitBull In A Skirt” ❤Mane she was Gorgeous her spirit shines through her… RIP to DMX Always a Real 1 🙏🏾
Wow I remember watching this special back in the day
Happy 50 years hip hop!!!
This video takes me back to being 18 years old about to graduate high school when this initially aired on MTV in the late spring of 2001.
AWESOME SAUCE!👏
THANKS reelblack. 🏆
Heather T in tha place to be. Thanks for hanging with us
Damn I love this it bring back soooo much memories…the commercials tho💪🏽💯🙌🏽🗽🔥
11:37 Yoooo, I used to love that commercial just because of the music 😂😂🤣!!. Damn that just brought me way back
Here we go !
Seeing Puff talking about Biggie's murder is like seeing Lee Harvey Oswald talking about JFK's assassination
It'z funny how back in DA REEL DAYZ,We used to watch MTV! ON A REEL TV HOMIE! 😆😂🤣😆😅
Da Brat predicted "Old Town Road"
As M.C. Hammer said in his most famous of hip-hop songs, 'Whoa, whoa whoa, whoa whoa, whoa---HAMMER TIME!"
People forget about Blondie's rapture song with Fab five freddy
Hammer did it his way, much respect . And no Brat, nobody wore Hammer pants but him.
Exactly,bitch is stupid.
I had a pair back in the day so Da Brat hit that on the nail
@@shahawndonaldson9674 they are actually called HAREM PANTS and the style came from the ALI BABA n the 40 thieves days alladdin genies etc
Speak for yourself, but she's right! Me and all my boys had the Hammer Pants! I've still got mine!
I was 7 years old back in 90 with Hammer pants, a "U Can't Touch This" green sweatshirt and U Can't Touch This slap bracelet.
When MTV cared about music
Damn watching this shit in 2023 is crazy. Da brat predicting to see a hiphop country song (Oldtown road) and we just had Hiphop celebrate it’s 50th birthday like Nelly said. And u definitely dont have to go “all the wayyyy over there” in the record store like Dre said, cause ain’t no damn record store to go to no more 😂. But they did move up tho, crazy still.
'Well i'll be damned.. We are here in ja-Japan and Chinatown'
gotta love ODB
Before walk this way, a lot of people across America didn’t even understand what rap was. But MC Hammer and Wild Thing put rap on the Radio. Even Hot 97 in New York didn’t play any rap until those songs broke. Radio was ridiculously slow to play rap. Hammer deserves credit for that alone.
Girl look Salt face at 13:48..LMAO
Best time to be a hip hoping G!!!
I watched this when it came out. 80s baby, last of a dying breed
The commercials though
1990 was when Hip Hop really started taking off and becoming really good imo... LL Cool J was one of the first...🎛📻📼📺💲📈🎵🎶🎵🎤🎧🎛
Great Documentary🔥👏
It seems all 17 of MC Hammer fans are in this comment section....
Good ole days when the M IN MTV stood for Actually Music...😢😢🥀🥀🥀
We're celebrating 50 yrs now. Incredible
dont know why people say theres no beef in songs , they really do beef yoo
15 years later country/hip hop finally became a thing
Literally makes no sense mixing the two. Different worlds
Did we really need that
Classic vintage footage
😂 this my era
*I fuck with the 90's & early 00's hard*
the commercials of those times were better
Ah a place to learn all missed while raising children.😉☺️💯❤️🌹🙏🕯️
Someone probably laughed 🤣 when I pondered where to look .😉🤔😂🌹
Love the reference to "Gumbo"
Yes!
MC Hammer must have been before 1993 cause I remember him clearly..even as a stroke patient..🤔💯😉
I wish they'd re-release allllll of the old MTV docs and True Life too
This is when MTV was good or decent. But they showed a lot of commercials.
M&M dissed Hammer... lol who gonna grab this gold?
A mixture of 80s n 90s EARLY TETHER ANCHORS👈🏾👉🏾 and GREAT FBA🏹✊🏾 HIPHOP CREATORS💯💯💯👍🏾m
This supposed 'documentary" about rap in the 90's jumps from 1990/91 to 1996/97 in the first 5 minutes. Yeah, because there was NOTHING going on in hip hop between MC Hammer's big breakthrough in 1990 and Busta Rhymes' break in '96. Does anyone still consider MTV a considerable source?
Busta's first big break came with Scenario in '91. But yes, this focussed more on innovative music videos than the music and culture itself, they skipped a lot. Especially the development of all the different flow styles and lyrical game changers.
Many thanks to Mr Hype Williams
Love sway ...
20 Years Of Hiphop
Fast Forward
We celebratin HIPHOP 50Th
U.S MTV was always sooooo much better than UK MTV, was dope when they started showing the U.S shows on MTV, MTV Base and MTV2
memories
11:37 - lovely will barras illustrated volkswagen spot
Everybody loves Hammer except Eminem, there You have.
no, even 2pac said hammer was wack.
i was really 3 when this came out
I ❤️ this so much. 😮. I was so young 👶, 👦 .
How old is you now loc?
I think Da Brat predicted the song Old Town Road haha
lol seriously
Big Time
all them hype william checks booooiii🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤒
Commercials and all lol wow💯♥️👏🏾
These commercials are tripping me the fuck out .I remember when Carmen debuted. Crazy
What's the song on anti-drug commercial 27:07?
What's the name of the song at the end?
mtv did fk all for the culture; but it certainly messed it up and sped up the art going pop and selling out. The original mtv raps one hour saturday only show was cool and showed things as they were rather than influencing it to go suburban. I look at the state of the art now and just makes me for what it could have been
nice1 thx
