Y Combinator's webcam can't touch MC Hammer
MC Hammer's rap career may have been over more than a decade ago, but to the startup kids at Y Combinator, he'll always be a superstar. First, he awkwardly pitched Weebly's MySpace profile editorSnapLayout to lifecaster Justine Ezarik, better known as iJustine of Justin.tv. Now, Hammer has made an iminlikewithyou profile.

- alaskamiller 19y agoshe scares me though :( this was also the weirdest and most awkward demo video i've seen
- gibsonf1 19y agoShe seemed to do ok until MC Hammer entered the scene and she had to give him his lines and run around chasing him. I didn't think he was the real MC but an impostor? (The MC I remember from way back had a lot more presence)
- Alex3917 19y agoIt's probably the real one, considering he lives in the area and spends his free time blogging.
- alaskamiller 19y agoit's mc hammer. i think weebly met him at techcrunch 40 and cajoled him into making a demo video for them. he has a startup too or something and was born, raised, and still lives here in oakland

- Alex3917 19y agoHe's wearing the same American Eagle polo shirt as my sixteen-year-old brother. It's funny, between the Superbowl commercial for Nationwide, the blog, and this, it's clear that he's actively trying to market himself as a washed up celebrity. It's actually kind of clever.
- SwellJoe 19y agoThat was awesome.
