MC Hammer Survives TechCrunch 40, DanceJam to Launch September 18th…

I’d heard that there was quite a bit of negative response to the initial news that MC Hammer would join the TechCrunch40 Conference that happened on Monday and Tuesday in San Francisco so I was surprised to see that the initial post with the announcem…

We can all learn something from Hammer. Get over yourself if you think otherwise. The guy was cutting edge and pushing development of audio technology and using computers before there was the internet, has experienced meteoric professional growth, crashed as defined by some people, and risen from the ashes all while maintaining humility and dignity. He’ll be the first to admit his prior mistakes and is open enough to share them publicly so the rest of us can learn from them. As it relates to business, entertainment/music wasn’t how Hammer got his first taste of high $$ dealings, he was essentially running the Oakland A’s in his teenage years for Walter Haas.

I didn’t think my startup has a chance at getting selected in TC20.

But if an application means getting on MC Hammer and TBN’s radar, I will try for that aspect alone! (seriously, MC Hammer is a respected voice in the Christian entrepreneurial community)

As I stated on Valley Wag- there’s definitely several of “us” (African Americans, women, and African American & a Woman) in tech who run successful start-ups, if you would just look outside of Silicon Valley. To be perfectly honest, I’m not sure if silicon valley is to ideal place to look for “exciting” ideas.

Granted, Mc Hammer is a an interesting choice and brilliant pr move. Plus, I am sure the idea of including internet pioneers like Ice T and Snoop Dog was entertained, but, smartly so, TC didn’t want an Imus incident on their hands.

Still, this seems like the tech version of the “old boys” club is at it again.

I’m surprised at some of the comments in regards to Hammer. This is a tech news blog if I’m not mistaken. And for people who thrive at breaking tech news, what’s going on within the industry, and start-ups…then we all know that in addition to what Hammer has done with his music, record label, tv show, etc…you all know that as of late he’s been investing quite a significant amount of money in start-ups, right?

I think when MC Hammer starts speaking at a Web 2.0 conference, it might be wise to consider whether it’s Bubble Time. This is not to say that MC Hammer has no qualifications to speak on issues related to entrepreneurship and media, but some of us remember all of the prominent figures (celebrities, athletes, etc.) who got involved with Internet startups during the first bubble.

Yes, Snoop for techcrunch20 in ‘08! He’s got lots of multimedia experience. Doesn’t he have his own label? Am I missing any of the other prereq’s?

MC Hammer – He has a show on trinity??? Is that like a televangelist ala Tammy Faye Baker??? Hmm, “his important influence on hip hop culture” is like saying Vanilla Ice had an important influence on hip hop culture.

You boys are so far removed from street cred your making fools of yourselfs propping up MC Hammer…..

I guessed at least 3 out of 5 of the first comments would be related to MC Hammer. Try about 70 out of 71. HAha

This is the lamest thing I’ve seen in a long time.

OMG – imagine when Hammer starts talking and we’re all supposed to sit back and ingest his wisdom.

Won’t happen!

There are so many celebrities that would have done this and way better – who organizes this? The joke is short lasting and i’m certainly not associating my startup with it
