Hello, 1991: MC Hammer, Vanilla Ice Plan Concert

Nineties rap stars will appear in Utah

Share

(Newser) – Your inner adolescent is not going to believe this: MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice are back. And they’re back together, reports TMZ. The aging rappers will team up Feb. 27 for a concert in, of all places, Orem, Utah—a town commonly referred to as “Family City USA.” Tickets to the event top out at a 1990s-esque $35, parking included.

Let's get Kurt Cobain up there, too- he'd be more entertaining than either of them. Reply
