I won't be checking for this. It's Hammertime! A&E has picked up a new series starring '90s rapper. The performer, his wife and five children will be the focus of a half-hour, 11-episode reality series set to premiere this year, reports The Hollywood Reporter.The name of the show? Hammertime of course!
The show Will be similar to an unscripted version of the The Cosby Show, said executive producer J.D. Roth. Yawn Z z z !!"Here's a dad with five kids, married to the same woman for more than 23 years, living in the same place where he grew up and going to church every Sunday," Roth said. "He's had his ups and downs, and it's what makes him such a character you root for."
Hammer had a spectacular rise and fall in the early 1990s, becoming a household name and selling millions of records before falling into debt and bankruptcy because of overspending on a lavish lifestyle. Hammer "now lives a more economically balanced life," according to the shows press materials, as a "new-age dad" in Oakland, Calif. (House of G calls that a Recession)"I really wanted to tell the future of MC Hammer," Roth said. "What kind of dad is he?"
