Hammer is My Homeboy

I wrote an email to MC Hammer off his blog and he wrote me back yesterday. When I did Mission Year I lived in the Oakland, CA neighborhood where he grew up. I wrote him a couple reflections on the neighborhood and the great season the A's had that year I was there. I went to a ton of games that season. He might have made "Pumps and a Bump" but Hammer is cool and now he's my homeboy.
