2 Legit 2 Quit

Simon Dudfield from NME wrote, "Mediocre hip-hop beats coupled with a cockney chorus of 'So What?' (sampled from Alexei Sayle???) leaves you wondering if this is the last track off the album to become a single or what?" ==Music video==

At almost 15 minutes in length, the accompanying music video for "2 Legit 2 Quit", directed by Rupert Wainwright, was one of the most expensive videos ever produced. The uncut version of the video begins with a newscaster, played by Jim Belushi, reporting on Hammer's apparent decision to quit the music business, as well as responses from numerous celebrities including Danny Glover, Henry Winkler, Freedom Williams, David Faustino, Barry Sobel, Ralph Tresvant, Mark and Donnie Wahlberg, Eazy-E, DJ Quik, 2nd II None, Tony Danza, Queen Latifah, and Milli Vanilli. A hand gesture, popularized by the title song and video and also shown in the "Addams Groove" movie video and on MTV, involved forming the number two for "Too", an L for "Legit", and a "cut" motion for "Quit" with the hand and fingers (as seen in the video). ==Dance challenge==

At the end of the "2 Legit 2 Quit" music video, after James Brown enlists Hammer to obtain the glove of Michael Jackson, a silver-white sequined glove is shown on the hand of a Jackson look-alike doing the "2 Legit 2 Quit" hand gesture. It was a reference to Hammer wanting to challenge Jackson to a dance-off for rights to his famous glove, which is also referenced on the album. Hammer and Jackson would later appear, speak and perform at the funeral service for James Brown in 2006. M.C. Hammer appeared on The Wendy Williams Show on July 27, 2009, and told a story about a phone call he received from Michael Jackson, who approved the inclusion of a fake Jackson near the end of the "2 Legit 2 Quit" video. He explained how Jackson had seen the video and liked it, and both expressed they were a fan of each other. ==Televised performances==

On the December 7, 1991 episode of Saturday Night Live, Hammer was the host and musical guest, performing "2 Legit 2 Quit" and two other songs. In 1991, the song along with Hammer's "Addams Groove", was featured in the film The Addams Family. For the opening of the 2010 BET Hip Hop Awards, Rick Ross, Diddy, and DJ Khaled performed "MC Hammer" (from the Teflon Don album), at which point Hammer stepped out to perform "2 Legit 2 Quit". At the 40th American Music Awards, in November 2012, Hammer danced to "2 Legit 2 Quit" and "Gangnam Style" alongside Psy, both wearing his signature Hammer pants. The mashup, suggested by Psy's manager, was repeated by the two stars on December 31, 2012, during ''Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve'' and was released on iTunes. ==Track listing==
