I started with the Oakland A's back in 1971 and there was press at every game and there were cameras on me when I was that young. So with 20 years being MC Hammer, I'm comfortable with cameras so when the camera goes on, I continue doing what I'm doing.

The CD is now the wax album and so it is a collector's item for people who collect music and love to look at the liner notes and feel paper.
