MC Hammer
Stanley Kirk Burrell (born March 30, 1962), known professionally as M.C. Hammer or "Ham Time" (and later, for a time, simply Hammer), is an American hip-hop recording artist, dancer, entrepreneur, spokesman and actor. He had his greatest commercial success and popularity from the late 1980s until the late 1990s. Remembered for his rapid rise to fame, Hammer is known for hit records (such as "U Can't Touch This" and "2 Legit 2 Quit"), flashy dance movements, choreography and eponymous Hammer pants. Hammer's superstar-status and entertaining showmanship made him a household name and hip hop icon. He has sold more than 50 million records worldwide.
A multi-award winner, M.C. Hammer is considered a "forefather/pioneer" and innovator of pop rap (incorporating elements of freestyle music), and is the first hip hop artist to achieve diamond status for an album. Hammer was later considered a sellout due in part to overexposure as an entertainer (having live instrumentation/bands, choreographed dance routines and an impact on popular culture being regularly referenced on television and in music) and as a result of being too "commercial" when rap was "hardcore" at one point, then his image later becoming increasingly "gritty" to once again adapt to the ever-changing landscape of rap. Regardless, BET ranked Hammer as the #7 "Best Dancer Of All Time".Vibe's "The Best Rapper Ever Tournament" declared him the 17th favorite of all-time during the first round.

One Mo' Time
by: MC HammerOne mo' time, hey, I gotta get my, get my one mo' time
One mo' time, hey, I gotta get my, get my one mo' time
One mo' time, hey, I gotta get my, get my one mo' time
One mo' time, hey, I gotta get my, get my one mo' time
I'm goin' fo' mine, one mo' time
I'm gettin' my goals accomplished while the others sit back and wind
And none of y'all can fade me so don't even try
'Cause I'm the best at what I do and I'm a tell you why
So you see I'm too legit too ever quit
I started gaining momentum when they put me in the mix
You'll feel my power, the stage I'll burn it up
So put it on the hammer, then people will burn it up
To the records who tried to diss this is on yo face
I'll turn this mutha out leave you lookin' disgraced
Bet you can't touch and now you regret fo' calling
Yourself a pet instead of something wet
Now brothers went long, it's still the same song
While people rollin' on, your crew is gone
You know I got it started with a kickin' gold rhyme
Suck as betta' pray 'cause it's hammer time one mo' time
One mo' time, hey, I gotta get my, get my one mo' time
One mo' time, hey, I gotta get my, get my one mo' time
One mo' time, hey, I gotta get my, get my one mo' time
One mo' time, hey, I gotta get my, get my one mo' time
Check I peepin' over there if the fellows give me ten minutes
I'll bet you I'll be in em' 'cause growin' on the high street
Taught me how to get em', I grew on em'
So tight I'm known to hight em' and quit em'
See I step to her, she's mine in a matter of minutes
It ain't how long you talk it's what you put in em'
Spittin' this game so cold and you tellin' me
That I'm not able to pick up this freak, well, you fail to see
The hard nigga is what they call me
And every year I'm at the player's balgee
Whenever I'm next you can prepare to see a show
And whenever it comes to breakin' it up
You know I'm lettin' em' win the net
And I'm the man in command, so I'm puttin' em' in their place
And if she's lookin' for handouts then get outta' Hammer's Face
I'm not the type to wine and dine but I'm freak to blow your mind
So I guess I'm goin' fo' mine, one mo' time
One mo' time, hey, I gotta get my, get my one mo' time
One mo' time, hey, I gotta get my, get my one mo' time
One mo' time, hey, I gotta get my, get my one mo' time
One mo' time, hey, I gotta get my, get my one mo' time
Hold now, take me to the bay
I'm gainin' momentum from the 90's to the bay
And everywhere I went, I made the people say
Hey, I'm makin' em' all amazed in every phase
And rap fools I gotta serve em' but this time
The Hammer gotta hurt em'
State to state after partyin' in Casinos
Doin' and tryin' that, lougin' in Reno
I got it started in Bang cock and rocked Barbados
And watched Holy field know em' out in Vegas city
After city I left the people in shock, you betta have believed
I left the whole place rock and I love the way that the money
Just rolls out, fifteen hundred cities every one of em' sold out
Private jets, good times and bad times, suckas be tryin' to diss
So I'm comin' with mad rhymes
All of these things often come to mind
But guess what y'all? Here comes the payback to her
I'm doin' it one mo' time
One mo' time, hey, I gotta get my, get my one mo' time
One mo' time, hey, I gotta get my, get my one mo' time
One mo' time, hey, I gotta get my, get my one mo' time
One mo' time, hey, I gotta get my, get my one mo' time
One mo' time, hey, I gotta get my, get my one mo' time
One mo' time, hey, I gotta get my, get my one mo' time
One mo' time, hey, I gotta get my, get my one mo' time
One mo' time, hey, I gotta get my, get my one mo' time
One mo' time, hey, I gotta get my, get my one mo' time
One mo' time, hey, I gotta get my, get my one mo' time
One mo' time, hey, I gotta get my, get my one mo' time
