This print showcases a significant piece of African-American history - the iconic jacket and pants worn by MC Hammer in his groundbreaking music video for "They Put Me in the Mix". The vibrant blue jacket, made from synthetic fiber foam and adorned with metal buttons, perfectly complements the famous Hammer pants crafted from synthetic fiber and elastic. MC Hammer, born Stanley Kirk Burrell, revolutionized both rap music and fashion with his energetic performances and unique style. This ensemble became synonymous with his name during the 1980s, symbolizing an era of cultural expression and artistic innovation. Preserved within the esteemed National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), this artifact represents not only a remarkable stage costume but also a testament to MC Hammer's impact on popular culture.
