MC Hammer | App Developer

Born Stanley Kirk Burrell, MC Hammer is a rapper, dancer, and record producer. He has seen great financial success from the late ‘80s to the ‘90s. Widely considered as the pioneer of pop-rap, where he incorporated elements of freestyle music, he also rose to fame because of songs like U Can’t Touch This and 2 Legit 2 Quit. BET even ranked him as the 78th best rapper ever.

So, what happened to the successful musician? He displayed poor money management skills at one time, so he had to seek court protection, but he now has recovered. He is also a firm believer of the butterfly effect, where one small change can make a significant impact later on. Many would be surprised at this, but among others, MC Hammer is now a developer for iPad apps. He has also taken a keen interest in technology as a whole and dropped some money in start-up companies.
