MC Hammer is Web 2.0 expert

SOMETIMES YOU SEE a story and think, nah, I'm dreaming this, hope I wake up soon. Then you nip yourself, it hurts, and you say to yourself my God, it's true, MC Hammer really is a Web 2.0 expert.

Yup, the purveyor of radio-friendly rap is set to appear on an expert panel discussing hot startups, courtesy of an event organised by the Techcrunch site.

According to TechCrunch, Hammer is, "advisor to stealth internet startup Dance Jam". Doesn't sound that stealthy, if it's on his biog.

Hammer is not the only music veteran getting down with the kids. Paul McCartney's new album Memory Almost Full will be available for streaming as well as through Starbucks, according to Billboard. µ
