MC Hammer is many things. He seems like a fun dude. He’s all about his family. He was so hot at one time that if you ask non-rap fans to name a rapper, they may still drop his name. But a battle MC he’s not.
He seems to be frustrated with Jay-Z for a rhyme that mentioned his name in a Kanye West Good Friday track called So Appalled. When I first heard the rhyme, I wondered if Hammer would respond or even care, and it looks like he cared a lot.
Here was Jay-Z’s original rhyme:
And Hammer went broke so you know I’m more focused. I lost 30 mil so I spent another 30. ‘Cause unlike Hammer 30 million can’t hurt me.
Hammer has been calling Jay-Z “hell boy” for whatever reason. And now he’s trying to call himself King Hammer. I guess that’s a shot at Jay-Z’s King Hov title. They call me King Hov copy?
If you look closely at the video, you’ll see MMA fighters Brenden Schaub and Nate Marquardt who Hammer is now managing.
