The Hammertime Promo Tour brought ’90s rap star MC Hammer to E!’s Chelsea Lately on Tuesday night.

A&E’s newest television reality star joked with outspoken host Chelsea Handler about his new series. Surprisingly, Hammer credits himself with launching Vanilla Ice’s now-defunct career in hip-hop.

Um….we’re not sure why anyone would want to take credit for chuckle-inducing gems like “Ice Ice Baby” and “Ninja Rap.” As if the whole bankruptcy thing didn’t leave poor Hammer with enough of a humiliating legacy.
