MC Hammer To Launch Video Sharing Site Called DanceJam.com

Former rapper MC Hammer, is readying the launch of a new social website, which would be similar to Youtube.com, the leading online video sharing site, or is it meant to compete with Youtube?

The site called dancejam.com, would offer users a place to watch and post dance videos, since we can't touch it, we can watch and feel it "online". According to SoundSlam, Hammer (real name Stanley Burrell) and his partners have reportedly complied 100 gigabytes of dance footage which will be used to launch the site in mid January. The site will host head-to-head dance competitions, and also give viewers tips on how to perform their favorite dance moves.

Last February, MC Hammer visited the youtube offices, as part of his interests in launching a video sharing site. You can watch the video below.



According to HipHopGalaxy, it was reported that James McQuivey, an analyst at Forrester Research claims that Hammer could find it difficult getting people away from YouTube, which listed 1.7 million dance videos last month alone.

Well, YouTube users will have to decide what they want, and if they "can't touch this", maybe they can dance this.
