@popculturefangurl: Back in 1990, MC Hammer was taking over global radio and dance floors, but Michael Jackson made it clear who the real king was! 🕺🔥 During the height of MC Hammer's fame, the hip-hop star famously approached Michael Jackson and proposed a live dance-off between the two icons. Instead of taking the bait or backing away, Michael looked Hammer straight in the eye with absolute confidence and replied, "No, I'd defeat you!" Michael respected Hammer's explosive energy and fast footwork, but he knew his own decades of razor-sharp dance mastery were completely untouchable. Who do you think would have actually won if Michael Jackson and MC Hammer had a dance battle in 1990? #MichaelJackson #MCHammer #90sMusic #DanceOff #KingOfPop

TaninaHarris :

Now, I love me some Hanmer. But, y'all keep saying Mike didnt do the new dances. Do y'all really think Mike couldn't do them? He just DIDN'T do them. Mike danced Hip Hop, Ballet, Jazz, Salsa (the vodeo of this song).. Tap danced... even that Russian dancing in Black or White. Y'all tripping.

SEEK YESHUA :

mike made a wise choice cause hammer would've annihilated him

StarwayGme :

Yall sleep on Mike like he couldn’t do the new dances and in reality he chose to remain MIKE yall don’t get it. If Mike would’ve started doing all the dances everyone else did. It would take away from his legendary pallet and performances that does not mean he COULDNT dance like that🤷🏾‍♂️there’s clips of him cutting up every now and then too

Hakeem The Dream326 :

MJ Hammer was more comparable to a Bobby Brown that would've been a better match-up

Ms. 313 :

MJ HANDS DOWN!! HAMMER AIN'T WANT THAT SMOKE!!

rezzywithdalocz :

Micheal would embarrassed Him

PickYourVibeOfficial :

Ehhhhhh I don’t know. I’m on the fence with this one, Hammer was nothing to play with, he had that James Brown energy ..I’m glad they didn’t challenge tho lol

Sonnybada$$ :

Hammer would’ve embarrassed himself 🤣

sunflower :

they have different dance styles though

👑Ajita Stone👑 :

im glad Mike didnt do it cause Mike knows his gifts so why prove it ...HES ALREADY THE KING..What does the King has to prove

kamiiron27 :

That would be a very hard thing to judge because there are a lot of strong biases in favor of Mike, of course. And MC Hammer fame at the time wasn’t for nothing so he clearly had his strong supporters also.

Jeanna Newbill :

Mike danced his ass off so does hammer but the difference is Mike was goat. He could do all different styles.

SaiNoelle 🇺🇸 :

To be fair, Hammer can also dance his ass off. He’s not Michael but he was something serious in the 90’s.

Bridget Stmartin :

Michael Jackson for sure

bookie :

I actually think MJ was afraid of Bobby Brown. Prime BB was silky af. He was the only one who could compare to Michael’s fluidity. He could dance like a trained dancer and could do street dance like MJ

pepalr2020 :

Yes hammer needs to do the halftime show!!

tinamyers7369 :

I can hear him say that and hee hee afterwards 😂

Aaron Johnson :

A lot of people here probably never seen Hammer in action that man can still dance his ass off to this day and I Love Michael but because of that love people have for Mike it wouldn't be fair

Kim Figard :

michael

kamiiron27 :

I mean, hammer did have some good moves for the 90s but yeah Mike would’ve obliterate him

lovesexy2022 :

Yo but Mj wanted to challenge prince. Mj believed Prince was just as good as him.

TooTi33 :

Ngl Mc hammer would’ve wiped the floor with mj. Foot work unmatched. Mj not the best dancer but we all have opinions. I think Omarion in his younger years was even better.

Patsy :

All the more reason MJ should have done it! MJ was the best dancer ever! 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎵🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🔥🫶🔥
