    Hammer time — a web panel expert apparently?

    Posted by Gene in Business

    mchammer.jpgI’m now wondering why the heck aren’t I on more web conference expert panels… I should definately see about getting on some of these. Now i’m sure he has some experience to offer, after all he was huge in the 80’s and probably gained some valuable business experience in the process of all that, how could you not? But seriously, MC Hammer is on the TechCrunch 20 Conference Panel of Experts…

    MC Hammer is an American MC who brought rap music to a mass pop audience during the late 1980s and early 1990s, selling millions of copies of his chart topping albums. He is known for his important influence on hip hop culture and music. Following the September 11, 2001 attacks, Hammer released the patriotic album Active Duty on his own WorldHit label and donated portions of the proceeds to 9/11 charities. MC Hammer has a television show on the Trinity Broadcasting Network. Hammer is an advisor to stealth Internet start-up Dance Jam.

    He has to be on this list for comedic factor… at least that’s what i’m telling myself…

      I can’t believe you put a picture of MC Hammer on our blog. It is not Hammertime.

      My point is more, what reasoning does TechCrunch have for making him an advisor… what does he know about internet startups…? And what does “stealth” startup mean…?

      I think you are letting your Hammer bias affect your reasoning. I mean, just because he’s a one hit wonder who went bankrupt, what makes you think he’s not an internet genius?

      When I look at the panel for that conference and read the resumes for each person it reminds me of that Sesame Street game; “which of these kids is not like the other…”

      One hit wonder!?!? Hammer had at least two, maybe three hits. Who can forget Too Legit To Quit and Pray?
