Can’t touch this
Can’t touch this
Can’t touch this
Can’t touch this

My, my, my, my music hits me so hard
Makes me say oh my Lord
Thank you for blessing me
With a mind to rhyme and two hyped feet
Feels good when you know you’re down
A superdope homeboy from the Oaktown
And I’m known
as such
And this is a beat uh you can’t touch

I told you homeboy,can’t touch this
Yeah, that’s how we livin’ and ya know,
can’t touch this
Look in my eyes man, can’t touch this
Yo let me bust the funky lyrics, you can’t touch this

Fresh new kicks and pants
You got it like that now you know wanna dance
So move out of your seat
And get a fly girl and catch this beat
While it’s rollin’ hold on
Pump a little bit and let them know it’s going on
Like that, like that
Cold on a mission so fall on back
Let ’em know that you’re too much
And this is a beat uh they can’t touch

Yo I told you, can’t touch this
Why you standing there man, can’t touch this
Yo sound the bell school is in sucker
can’t touch this

Give me a song or rhythm
Making no sweat that’s what I’m giving ’em
So now they know
You talk about the Hammer when you’re talking ’bout a show
That’s hyped and tight
Singers are sweatin’ so pass them a wipe
Or a tape to learn
What it’s gonna take in the 90’s to burn
The charts legit
Either work hard or you might as well quit

That’s word because you know
Can’t touch this
Can’t touch this
Break it down!
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Stop! Hammer time!

Go with the flow it is said
If you can’t move to this then you probably are dead
So wave your hands in the air
Bust a few moves run your fingers through your hair
This is it for a winner
Dance to this and you’re gonna get thinner
Now move slide your rump
Just for a minute let’s all do the bump

Bump bump bump yeah, you can’t touch this
Look man, can’t touch this
You’ll probably get hyped boy ’cause you know you can’t, can’t touch this
Ring the bell school’s back in, break it down!
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Stop! Hammer time!

Can’t touch this
Can’t touch this
Can’t touch this
Break it down!
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Stop! Hammer time!

Every time you see me, that Hammer’s just so hype
I’m dope on the floor and I’m magic on the mic
Now why would I ever stop doing this
With others makin’ records that just don’t hit
I toured around the world from London to The Bay
It’s Hammer go Hammer MC Hammer Yo Hammer and the rest can go and play

Can’t touch this
Can’t touch this
Can’t touch this
Yea, Can’t touch this
I told you, can’t touch this
Too hype can’t touch this
Get me outta here, you can’t touch this

U Can’t Touch This – MC Hammer

Grant Management – Green letting agency

This entry was posted in Carbon neutral Rented property Zero Energy homes on by

Grant Management promise that all the properties they let are carbon neutral because their energy use is offset by buying trees. If that were all it would be nice, but just a bit of canny marketting. However, their About Us section suggests that the commitment goes deeper-

About Our Commitment to the Environment

Grant Management has embraced the environment by achieving carbon neutral status. This was accomplished by reducing the company’s carbon footprint and offsetting the balance through tree planting via Global Trees. Additionally, Grant Management has made the properties it manages carbon neutral, recycling, re-using and sharing environmental knowledge and ideas with other individuals and companies.

This entry was posted in Colin McRae model car Rally Car RIP on by

Available from Hobby Link Japan, part one of a tribute to Colin McRae.

This is a beautiful set of rally cars dedicated to the memory of rally race ace Colin McRae, who tragically died along with his five-year-old son and two family friends in a helicopter accident in September 2007. Box 1 consists of the cars illustrated below, chronicling part of McRae’s stellar career from 1992 to 1998. Each highly detailed 1/64-scale car comes mounted on a black plastic base with inscriptions. A fitting tribute to one of rally car racing’s most famous and beloved drivers.

What are SPs anyway?

This entry was posted in Religion Scientology on by

Creepy Scientology related videos abound at the moment. The main one, which keeps being taken down by YouTube and is now hosted by Gawker, features everyone’s favourite Scientology dwarf in what is being referred to as an indoctrination video.

One response to the Tom Cruise footage comes from Anonymous (via Warren Ellis)

SPs? A scan of the wikipedia page on the “religion” revealed nothing, but this handy acronym guide tells me-

SP, Suppressive Person, an evil person; someone who criticizes Scientology in any way. (the two are one and the same in the cult) SPs are the cult’s _1984_ Goldsteins, and give definition to the group and a common enemy. Supposedly, some large fraction of the total population is composed of these “anti-social” characters, variously cited as 2% or 20%. Hubbard listed 12 traits of the SP, such as talking in generalities, criticism, and so forth. SPs are formally “declared” with a goldenrod issue, and lists are kept of these dangerous people. Ars has adopted its own SP levels as a badge of honour; in Scientology, there are no levels of SP. SPs create PTSes, people who are influenced by them. See MU, PTS, Disconnection.
