Famous 1990s rapper MC Hammer is in New Zealand.

In 1990 his song U Can't Touch This was as big as it got, and MC Hammer pants were in all the best wardrobes. But MC Hammer, a.k.a Stanley Burrel, has gone through several incarnations since then: he's been bankrupt, a preacher and a reality star. Right now, he's the social networking King of Twitter.

MC Hammer is in Auckland to launch a new Xbox 360 game called Lips: Number One Hits, which features his single U Can't Touch This.
