MC Hammer -- Rides Fire Breathing Snail ... At Golden State Warriors Parade

How much is MC Hammer enjoying the celebration parade for his Golden State Warriors in downtown Oakland today?

So much so that he rode a giant, fire-breathing snail along the parade route, flanked by the mayor of the city ... pretty freakin' epic if you ask us.

Hammer isn't the only huge Bay Area celeb at the parade ... Seattle Seahawks stud Marshawn Lynch is there too, but had to settle for riding with the team along the route.

Congrats dubs ...
