MC Hammer, whose real name is Stanley Kirk Burrell, is an American rapper known for hit songs such as "U Cant Touch This," "2 Legit 2 Quit," and "Pumps and a Bump". He was also known for his flashy dance movements, extravagant choreography, and his eponymous Hammer pants.

He appeared in two cable television movies, produced the VH1 movie "Too Legit: The MC Hammer Story," and was a spokesman for 3M Command Strips.
