Active Duty is the eighth album released by M.C. Hammer, on November 20, 2001.
Following the September 11, 2001 attacks, M.C. Hammer released this eighth studio album on his own WorldHit Music Group label (the musical enterprise under his Hammertime Holdings Inc. umbrella) to pay homage to the ones lost in the terrorist attacks. The album followed that theme, and featured two singles, "No Stoppin' Us (USA)" and "Pop Yo Collar" (featuring Wee Wee). The album, like its predecessor, failed to chart and would not sell as many copies as previous projects. Hammer did however promote it on such shows as The View and produced a video for both singles.
This patriotic album, originally planned to be titled The Autobiography Of M.C. Hammer, donated portions of the proceeds to 9/11 charities. Hammer shot a video for the anthem "No Stoppin' Us (USA)" in Washington, D.C., with several members of the United States Congress, who sang in the song and danced in the video. Present members of the United States House of Representatives included J.C. Watts, Eddie Bernice Johnson, Thomas M. Davis, Earl Hilliard, Alcee Hastings, Rep. Diane Watson (D-Calif.), Rep. Corinne Brown (D-Fla.) and Jesse Jackson Jr..
Videos for singles "No Stoppin' Us" and "Pop Yo Collar" (2000) can be found on the Internet. "Pop Yo Collar" demonstrated "The Phat Daddy Pop", "In Pop Nito", "River Pop", "Deliver The Pop" and "Pop'n It Up" dance moves.

Full Blast is the ninth studio album by rapper, M.C. Hammer. The album was recorded in 2003 and released in early 2004 for the Full Blast Digital Music Group and was produced by Hammer himself. The album was not well received both critically or commercially, not charting on any album charts or spawning any hit singles. The lack of attention, although easily accessible online, was due in part to so many instrumental mixes dominating the album. The title track, "Full Blast" featured disses towards Eminem and Busta Rhymes and is accompanied by a video.
Some of the original songs didn't end up making the final album release. Guest artists included The Stooge Playaz, Pleasure, Rain, JD, Greer & DasIt.
