Too Legit: The MC Hammer Story
The hardest part of being successful is remembering to pay your taxes.
A lesson learned by the young MC in this biography.
From an early age Stanley Burrell (Robert Bailey Jr.) would dance outside of Oakland A's games for money.
Eventually his moves landed him a job as the team's batboy and a nickname that would propel him into stardom.
Spreading his gospel on Sunday years later and selling his rap singles on the street, Stanley's new pseudonym: MC Hammer (Romany Malco) starts spreading as well.
It's not until he releases Can't Touch This, however, that Hammer hits hard.
But his expansive tastes and unending generosity towards his posse soon lands him in hot water with the IRS.
An exemplary VH1 bio-picture, Too Legit not only has the highs and the lows but also top- notch dancing and unexpected cameos.
In hindsight, however, Hammer should've named his hit-song Can't Tax This.
