MC Hammer was named because of his likeness to Hammerin' Hank Aaron. To get the answer to this question, you need to look at where he was when he got this name. He was a ball-boy for the Oakland A's games in the 70's. The only player from that team at that time on the Maxim contest list was Reggie Jackson.

Stanley Kirk Burrell, aka "MC Hammer", "Hammer" and "Hammertime" was an Aviation Storekeeper 3rd Class (AK3) and was in the Navy for 3 years. Official biographies do not list his years of service, but they do mention he enlisted right after high school. Being born in 1962, he would have to be at least 17 or 18 to join right after high school; therefore, it can be deduced that he was in the Navy from 1979 or 1980 to 1982 or '83, depending on what year he enlisted. In any case, he served in the early 80's.
No, Tone Loc does.
Ahem...look here:

Marvin Young (born May 10, 1967), better known by his stage name Young MC,
is an English-born American singer, rapper and actor. He is best known for his
1989 hit "Bust a Move". His debut album Stone Cold Rhymin' found international
acclaim however subsequent albums have not reached the same level of
success. Young has also appeared in film in acting roles and cameo
appearances, and has appeared in several television programs. His family left
England and moved to Queens, New York when he was eight years old.
M.C. Hammer, whose real name was Morton Charles Hammer, had a financial windfall from his hit "Hammertime." However, Morton was unable to sustain the success of his first album. He made a total of 12 Million dollars off of his first album, but then was never in the public eye again. It turns out, Morton was a homosexual and a crack addict. He spent nearly all of his money on his crack habit and his latin lover Juan Julio Estrada. Morton had to file for bankruptcy and lost everything that he had, except, of course, his funky dance moves and parachute pants. Morton went to rehab for 6 months beginning in June of 1995. On Christmas eve 1995, Morton was released from rehab. He had finally kicked his habit and was back with Juan Julio. In May of 1996, Morton received horrible news when he found out that Juan Julio had tested positive for the HIV virus. Morton had himself tested and found out that he also had contracted the HIV virus. As far as anyone knows, Morton is living in East Los Angles with Juan Julio, trying desperately to discover a cure for AIDS.
That would be Jimmy Fallon. He used to be in Saturday Night Live.
