    Theboombox :    MC Hammer has launched a summer mentoring program for minority-led start-up companies.

    Having famously squandered his fortune after selling over 50 million albums worldwide, Hammer filed for bankruptcy in 1996, then went through a series of career and life changes.

    Following his music career blitz, he became an ordained minister, reality TV producer and actor and founded a mixed martial arts management company and several websites, including DanceJam.com.

    Beginning on June 16, the Oakland rapper, born Stanley Burrell, will be a mentor in the New Media Entrepreneurship accelerator program in Silicon Valley, California.

    The NewMe program is a nine-week course providing training, advice and networking opportunities to minorities and women, attempting to launch tech start-up companies.
