SAVING PRIVATE...MC HAMMER?



WASHINGTON (Wireless Flash) – Everyone wants to do their part for the war effort – including rapper MC Hammer. The early ’90s big pants proponent was so devastated by September 11 that he raced down to a Naval recruiting office and begged to be shipped off. Although Hammer once spent a Naval stint on a submarine, Uncle Sam turned him down this time for medical reasons – so he won’t be parachuting his parachute pants into al-Quada quarters anytime soon. However, the 41-year-old rapper is hoping his new CD, Active Duty, helps fuel a comeback for himself and his trademark genie jeans, which he ditched a few years ago for gangsta garb. He describes the CD as “homegrown authentic pro-America propaganda,” and hopes his new tour will bring the parachute pants back in style.
