MC Hammer's 'U Can't Touch This' is 20 years old

I don't know why I'm so amused by this, but MC Hammer's "U Can't Touch This" came out 20 years ago today -- and went on to sell more than 10 million units. Obviously future singles like "Have You Seen Her" and "Pray" didn't exactly catch on like "UCTT" (even though it only peaked at Number 8 on Billboard) but the Hammer staple was some next level shit when it came out. It also emerged from the GREATEST album title of all time: "Please Hammer, Don't Hurt 'Em." I think I was in 5th grade when I first heard that, and it still cracks me up. STOP!
