MC Hammer was the man with the baggy silk pants was a jack-of-all-trades for
the Oakland Athletics baseball team, before he rose to fame in 1990
with songs from his album Please Hammer, Don't Hurt 'Em.
He made so much money that he was able to design and have built
an obscenely big house, whereupon he ran out of money, failed to
sell any more records and filed for bankruptcy.
Hammer (he got rid of the MC when people started calling him McHammer)
is now preaching the Word of the Lord to packed venues across America.
