You can't touch this - would you even want to?

Ah, the 80’s. It seems hard to believe now that we could have listened to such junk. Oh wait…

Please Hammer Don’t hurt ‘em might seem a preposterously pretentious and self-important title for an album… and it was. MC Hammer typified the cult of the self-centered egomaniac rapper, Yo, you can’t touch this, before becoming a preacher and using his star status to spread the good word. Yo, you’ve got to pray to make it today.

MC Hanmmer, the clean-cut rapper made $33 million from Please Hammer Don’t Hurt ‘em but ended up $13 million in debt and had to file for bankruptcy in 1996. How is that possible? Well, he had a taste for spending, such as when he spent $2 million on Italian marble floors for his house.

MC Hammer’s Twitter feed is as you might expect, full of exclamation marks and profound philosophical insights.
