Episode 61: “2 Legit 2 Quit”

podcastkilled@gmail.com (inferiorego) — Mon, 05 Aug 2019 03:19:15 +0000

In the early days of this show, we recorded an episode about the 14 and a half minute cut of MC Hammer’s “2 Legit 2 Quit.” Sadly, it was corrupted, but time heals all wounds. Returning champion Chris E. Hayner heads back to the show to talk about one of the weirdest and most amazing long-form music videos in existence. Sure, the two may talk about Vanilla Ice a lot here, but we’re sure it all makes sense in context. If you love ’90s CGI, tons of celebrity cameos, and a literal passing of the torch between two performers, you will LOVE this music video.
