Can't Touch This Super Freak!!!

A decade on from the crossover hysteria that surrounded this good (not great) radio hit, "U Can't Touch This" survives as the perfect good-time song for nostalgia parties or mere reminiscence of the era that brought us In Living Color and Vanilla Ice. 



The once (and future) Stanley Burrell borrowed the monster hook from Rick James' "Superfreak" and layered a few solid rhymes over it, his somewhat gravelly voice and supreme confidence covering up any deficiencies in lyric or delivery. The single promptly became a crossover pop and dance hit with (apparently) little effort, and its incredible success helped Hammer stay afloat for several years beyond his projected shelf life.
