A community portal about U Can't Touch This with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: U Can't Touch This was American rapper MC Hammer's most successful single. It propelled sales of its album, Please Hammer Don't Hurt'Em which became "the biggest-selling rap album of all time at ten million copies." The song heavily samples Rick James's " Super Freak "; Rick James is credited as a co-author. The lyrics, written entirely by Hammer, are in the boastful self-promotional style common in old school hip hop. They describe the rapper as having "toured around the world, from London to the San Francisco Bay " and as being "magic on the mic," which Hammer says combines with Rick James's "beat that you can't touch" to create the perfect rap song. While some critics, especially in the gangsta rap community, disliked the song, enough people approved of it to secure the Grammys for Best R & B Song and Best Rap Solo Performance, a brand new category at the time, for MC Hammer.
