There are a lot of fake celebrity accounts that get started on twitter, just ask Shaq (@THE_REAL_SHAQ) but if you get followed by an account called @MCHammer don’t block him or think it’s a fake account because it’s the one and only MC Hammer (http://mchammer.com) . So what is Hammer doing on twitter, well you’ll have to listen to the podcast for that, but we had the privilege to chat with the one and only Hammer himself about how long he’s been blogging, his thoughts social media and the music industry, who introduced him to twitter and more.
If you’re been wondering what Hammer has been up, Hammer is currently the co-founder of DanceJam.com a user generated dance social networking site and is still involved with the music industry. We also took a few questions via twitter and if you thought Hammer was just a rapper who made Hip Hop classics, like “U Can’t Touch This” and “Let’s get it started” then I must say that you only know maybe 5% of Hammer.
Hammer is one of the smartest entrepreneurs online today and we’re excited to have interviewed him. Take a listen.
