MC Hammer, Boise Music Festival 2011

MC Hammer and his crew stunned the crowd with jaw dropping dance moves, performing "Let's Get It Started", "Pumps and a Bump", "Have You Seen Her", "They Put Me in the Mix", "It's All Good", a tribute to Tupac, "Pray", Young Adams' dance moves, "Too Legit to Quit", "Can't Touch This", "Turn This Mutha Out", & "Here Comes The Hammer" live in front of a packed crowd.

Boise Music Festival 2011 was Saturday, July 23rd from 9am - 9pm at Ann Morrison Park.
Presented by Pristine Pools and Spas, this free, all-day, family-friendly event held something for everyone.

Thirty local bands played at venues throughout the park. This year's national acts, which played on the Commercial Tire Main Stage, included He is We, Rock Mafia, Andy Grammer (current hit "Keep Your Head Up"), Safety Suit and Sugar Ray (led by lead singer Mark McGrath, contestant in last season's NBC Celebrity Apprentice). MC Hammer (known for hits "You Can't Touch This" and "2 Legit to Quit"), and Joan Jett and the Blackhearts (songs include "I Love Rock N' Roll" and "I Hate Myself For Loving You").

The festival also included the Kansas City Barbecue Society, sanctioned Idaho State BBQ Championships — with $10,000 in prize money — arts and crafts vendors, food courts, beer and wine gardens, and a play area (including bounce-houses) for the kids.

There had been hit rap singles and albums before him, but MC Hammer was the man who truly brought rap music to a mass pop audience. Armed with a flamboyant wardrobe (particularly his trademark baggy parachute pants) and a raft of sampled hooks lifted straight from their sources, Hammer's talents as a dancer and showman far exceeded his technique as an MC. Still, he had an ear for catchy source material, and that helped his second album, Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em, become the best-selling rap album of all time. Even if he was never able to duplicate that level of success, and even if his street credibility was virtually non-existent, Hammer still broke down numerous doors for rap music in the mainstream, demonstrating that hip-hop had the potential for blockbuster success in the marketplace.
