MC HAMMER'S

OAKLAND CALIFORNIA MANSION

aka

HAMMERLAND

I am starting a campaign to raise funds to repurchase and restore MC Hammer's Oakland, California hilltop mansion to its original 1993 primetime form.  I will then open it up to the public so fans can catch a glimpse into the man, the myth, the legend, Hammer the Great. Like Graceland, one will be able to tour this piece of American history and bask in the greatness of where this musical genius perfected his Hammer Dance, designed, knitted, and stitched the Hammer Pants, concocted the greatest musical collaboration ever with "Straight to My Feet" featuring Neon Deion Sanders, and came up with the mind-blowing chorus for Addam's Groove (if you don't remember the chorus, it goes "they do what they wanna do, say what they wanna say, live how they wanna live, play how they wanna play, dance how they wanna dance, kick and they slap a friend, [The Addams Family])."


If Dolly Parton has her own amusement park in Pigeon Forge, TN, and Elvis Presley has Graceland in Memphis, TN, then why shouldn't the King of uhhhh, well, I'm not exactly sure what MC Hammer is King of, but he deserves his own home Shrine/Amusement Park/Mossileum/Stash House. Seeing that MC Hammer is a jack of all trades, I'm going to give him a Tiger Woods Cablanasian moniker, and say Hammer is the King of Rapgospelfunkgoingbankrupt. So the King of Rapgospelfunkgoingbankrupt deserves to have a place where his worshipers can take a pilgrimage and pay tribute to the King. The best part about Hammerland is if you take a tour, there is an 86% chance MC Hammer will be your actual tour guide and give you first hand stories and accounts of his rise (the "Too Legit to Quit" era) and his fall (1994-Present). It has been long overdue and we must get MC Hammer back his home so we can have a "Here Comes The Hammer to Turn This Mutha Out" welcome back party.
