8. MC Hammer – 2 Legit 2 Quit: $2.5 million
MC Hammer’s “2 Legit 2 Quit” single was wildly popular upon its release in 1991, peaking at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The music video for it was directed by Rupert Wainwright and ran a whopping fifteen minutes in length, costing the MC over $2.5 million to make at the time – the equivalent of about $4.5 million today. While it received mixed critical reviews, its impressive roster of guest stars was a hit with audiences. Sports fans were especially into it, given that over fifteen pro athletes made cameos.
