100. MC Hammer’s "Pray"

Music/ pop culture/ prayer March 31, 2008Comments

If the question is, “Did you shave stripes into your eyebrow when you were a freshman in high school because you wanted to look like Vanilla Ice?” then the answer is, “Yes.” What can I say, I was pretty cool back in the day. But nothing was cooler than when MC Hammer released the song, “Pray.” Before he was 2 Legit 2 Quit (I really hope you just did the hand motions while you read that) Hammer threw the Christians a bone with a soft rap song about talking with God. In case you never heard the song, here is a verse:

That’s word, we pray
Ah, yeah, pray
we got to pray
Just to make it today
I said we pray
ah, yeah, pray
We got to pray, just to make it today
That’s word,we pray

Was it cheesy? Without a doubt. Was it a little silly? Very. Did we love it and do that typewriter, side to side dance whenever someone played it at youth group? Without a doubt.

Peace out. Word to your mutha. Audi 5,000.
