How the Psy/MC Hammer AMAs mash-up came to be
We should've known something was up when Psy took the stage at the "American Music Awards" in a pair of Hammer pants.
The "Gangnam Style" artist had the AMAs audience on their feet doing his trademark dance when the lights suddenly dimmed and MC Hammer appeared on stage - still "Too Legit to Quit."
Backstage, Hammer told CNN that the performance came together with the aid of Justin Bieber's manager, Scooter Braun.
“Scooter Braun connected us, and [when] I spoke with Psy I knew right away that he is a good guy. I like working with good people ... I loved doing it and we had a great time together," Hammer said.
"Psy is fantastic. He's shifted the planet. He's got the whole world dancing. And it's a rarity in this world. Only four people made that happen in history - James Brown, Michael Jackson, yours truly and Psy. ”
Psy, who even cajoled Hammer into pulling on his trademark pants once again, didn't have any nerves about hitting the old-school routine.
“Honestly, I practiced his move[s] 20 years ago," Psy said. "So I’ve done that for 20 years."
