MC Hammer is Too Legit To Quit

A&E has picked up a new series starring MC Hammer.

As in it’s Hammer, go Hammer, MC Hammer, yo Hammer and the rest can go and play, can’t touch this.

Hammer, his wife and five kids will star in the half-hour, 11-episode reality series.

The show is tentatively titled Hammertime.

Of course it is.

Executive producer J.D. Roth said the show is meant to be like an unscripted version of the Huxtable family from The Cosby Show.

“Here’s a dad with five kids, married to the same woman for more than 23 years, living in the same place where he grew up and going to church every Sunday,” Roth said. “He’s had his ups and downs, and it’s what makes him such a character you root for.”

We’re all about MC Hammer and the Yay Area (Oaktown in the house!), we would definitely stop for Hammertime.
