Average TV movie

Average TV movie production.Very standard production that could have been done better but the producers decided not too risk too much effort and money for this one.Still,if an MC HAMMER fan would watch this movie not expecting a masterpiece production,heeeeey IT'S ALL GOOD.It's just a little drama on a controversial POSITIVE VS NEGATIVE RAP topic and a good study on the ability of mainstream markets taste to change overnight.Also a good study on overnight multi-millionaires and the materialist/spiritualist balancing act.......

good biography, nice family movie, music and dancing was great

I liked the movie, despite anything wrong with it, I thought it was a good show and had like only one cuss word in it or something.

I think if it was a national movie and not a cable movie a lot more would have been put into it, I thought Lamont Bentley looked a little like Tupac, he did a great acting in bringing out the late singer. I thought in all it was a good biography and wouldn't mind owning it and watching it over and over again.

Yeah, Like Half of That Stuff Happened

The acting wasn't great, but at least the history followed MC Hammer up to his bankruptcy..

And then we jump to 1994. First of all, Tupac didn't join Death Row until early 1996, and even then I never remembered him being that down with Hammer. And why were they talking about the Tyson fight while Hammer was shooting "Pumps and a Bump?" The video came out in 1994, when Tyson was still in jail!

I guess this is what we should expect from a VH1 movie...

Inaccuracies Galore!

I've followed M.C. Hammer's career from start to finish.The film was totally inaccurate.We all know that Hammer started with only 4 back up dancers(Oaktown 357 & Ace Juice)if I'm not mistaken and of course 2 Bigg M.C. How could they leave them out.That killed the entire movie for me.

Terrible movie..Limp dancing...horrible acting

I first want to point out that I am a huge MC Hammer fan..I was fan of his when he used to do low budget videos in nightclubs..and was selling his music out of the back of his car. This movie was so glossed over I felt I was watching an afternoon special. The actor playing Hammer didn't look anything like him..the hairpieces that were used to "go back in time" were awful...and look just like toupees'...the dancing was marginal..MC Hammer moved ten times faster and was a lot more electrifying than what was portrayed onscreen..

Where was 2 Big MC?? Oaktown 357...Ace Juice, Special Generation etc....too many fragments missing from this story..Interesting how the song "Pray" was missing from the movie..yet they show Hammer in church twice...all in all this movie sucked..they would have been better off getting the real deal.

Trivia
The name of this movie comes from M.C. Hammer's 4th studio album "Too Legit to Quit," released in 1991. It is also the name of the title track and first single from that same album, although the spelling of that song is "2 Legit 2 Quit".

Errores
The controversial video for "Pumps and a Bump" was released before MC Hammer signed with Death Row Records and became acquainted with Suge Knight's gang. The song was released by Giant Records in 1994.
