Earlier this afternoon, only a few minutes to quitting time, everyone discusses their weekend plans. (By the way, blogging about interesting conversations that happen to take place at work doesn’t count as blogging about work.) The conversation turns to pop culture and I grow excited. I LOVE POP CULTURE. It’s America, you know. We don’t have Royalty. Hence, hooray for Hollywood!
The coworkers and I foray into low brow culture topics including Madonna’s broken collar bone, Jude Law and Sienna Miller’s ridiculous reunion(s), and Eminem’s rehab. One of the interns mentions that she is going to see 50 cent in concert. We talk about the things that 50 has been up to lately as well as his upcoming movie, Get Rich or Die Trying.
“Actually, the last concert that I saw was Eminem and Luda three years ago,” I say before adding,” and before that, it’d been a long time since I’d been to concert so it was Color Me Badd, pre-American Idol Paula Abdul, Milli Vanilli, and the MC Hammer 2 Legit 2 Quit tour.”
The intern’s eyes grow wide and I see an emotion that I can only describe as sheer terror. “OMG! MC Hammer? I was like 5!” she cries, “wow, you’re old!”

Can’t touch this……
“Every time you see me that Hammer’s just so hype. I’m dope on the floor and I’m magic on the mic. Now why would I ever stop doing this? With others makin’ records that just don’t hit. I toured around the world from London to the BAY. It’s Hammer, go Hammer, mc hammer, yo hammer and the rest can go and play. U can’t touch this!”
