Reports claiming cult rapper MC Hammer had recently died have been quashed by the former star himself/
The 80's singer, real name Stanley Burrell, was reported to have died last week after internet rumours spread like wildfire to the mainstream press, but it seems that a number of overzealous fans mixed up the baggy-pant wearing rapper with another Stanley Burrell who had died.
His spokesperson has insisted he is very much alive and well, and that is even charting another stab at stardom with internet project 'DanceJam', which will see him judging videos of people dancing.
"I heard the rumor..paused, gathered my thoughts and thanked my Lord and Savior that his word and promises are true," Hammer writes midweek on his blog. "I have not completed my mission and I have yet to take my place in a light and place that you can clearly see (know) and understand me. "
