MC Hammer is making a 'Gangnam Style' comeback. (must see video) 

By Art Terrell

Is the world ready for a MC Hammer comeback? After last Sunday's AMA performance with 'Gangnam Style' Korean singer PSY, Hammer has decided it's time for the two hitmakers to collaborate.

Hammer just turned 50 but the brother was throwing down like 1988 on the AMA's. This video is a must see if you missed the performance.

PSY and MC Hammer's explosive performance during this year's American Music Awards, where they joyously mashed "Gangnam Style" with "2 Legit 2 Quit," may have given the world a glimpse at the budding of a beautiful musical friendship.

"Well, we absolutely love working together," Hammer told Billboard shortly after the performance. "He's a very humble man and a hard worker and I love working with him. We are cooking in the kitchen right now."

The man behind hits like "U Can't Touch This" and "Pray" added reassuringly, "We'll try to make it a surprise for you."

For PSY, who in a week's time will possess the most viewed YouTube video of all time, the AMAs collaboration with Hammer came about after he requested, and was granted, the closing slot during the ABC telecast. The idea itself was born out of a conversation with his manager.

"When I requested to close the show, me and my manager Scooter Braun talked a lot about… [it needed] to be special, to be big, to be massive, to be you know, something," he told us. "So we had a conversation on the phone -- I was in Korea -- and all of a sudden Scooter says 'How about MC Hammer?'
