PLEASE! HAMMER! DO NOT HURT THEM!
PLEASE! HAMMER! DO NOT HURT THEM!
Jim Sterling, Destructoid's resident hip-hop journalist and monocle aficionado, has a hot story on MC Hammer. Yes, the rapper/dancer/preacher. He's posted up on Twitter that he's got a meeting with Activision on Monday:

I got one day to recover ,then it's LA to Activision to get a glance of a top secrete project on Monday...Cannot wait !!!

Wow !!! Hammer you ,type good !!!

So what's Activision's "top secrete" project? What would they be showing off to MC Hammer? What possible Hammer-related project could they be working on? I sort of don't want to think about it. But I must. Here are some possible scenarios that I just made up:

  • Activision is working on a rap-focused music game that picks up where Get On Da Mic left off.
  • Activision is working on a big pants controller for an upcoming dancing game and need to get Hammer's seal of approval.
  • MC Hammer and Michael Phelps are going to appear in the next Call of Duty game as partners who must dance and swim their way behind enemy lines to stop terrorism once and for all.
  • YO HAMMER WHICH WAY TO THE BEACH
  • THIS IS ENOUGH POPCORN CHICKEN TO FEED THE WHOLE POSSE
  • ADDAMS FAMILY RAP SONG

Uhh... ignore those last three.

Seriously? That needs to happen. I can see it being a co-op intensive game with large sections of water (Which Hammer of course can't traverse) and like... pants that need wearing.

Its obviously the natural progression of things....

Guitar Hero--->DJ Hero--->Balloon Pants Hero

Soon we will all have fake plastic Balloon pants to go with all of our other fake plastic peripherals.  Make room now!

They really shouldnt do this to poor Hammer.  He'll think hes back on top, piss his money away again, and end up on the streets.

Im pretty sure this game, whatever it is, is going to be legit. In fact I think it is going to be too legit to quit.

And they have to have really big guns and help save a hospital full of orphaned children.

I think the video Absurd posted should be embedded on the GB homepage FOREVER. It's an amazing display of Jeffs mic skills...all he needs is one mic.

I wouldn't be surprised if the rumored DJ Hero game is actually changed to "Hip-Hop Hero" where you can have the DJ device but can sing and drums are included. Possibly a beatbox mode! Yes, the end of music games.

If whatever game he's in doesn't feature "Pumps & A Bump" then it's a failure.

If this meeting doesn't end with a  game that uses a parachute pants accessory, all hope is lost.

I think his music is going to appear in DJ Hero. Yes, it's a totally reasonable scenario, so sue me.

Suddenly we'll be finding our most famous celebrities going over to Activision.

I'm thinking a Super Smash Brothers fighting game, with elements of Guitar Hero and Call of Duty to spice it up.

My guess is that guitar hero is coming out with a hip hop edition or maybe Activision is releasing a completely new hip hop music series and they are going to use some old school MC Hammer Songs.

I SENT THEM THIS STORY!

I have the Hammer on my Twitter and saw this, decided to PM Sterling about it since I've been a D'Toid regular for so long.

Feels weird and tingly to have a news story I started spread around like this. Makes me feel like a big man.

I should totally be a mod now.
