After Jay-Z took a slight jab at the rapper-minister-Cash4Gold spokesman in a verse on Kanye West’s “So Appalled,” making light of Hammer's well documented financial problems, Hammer took to Twitter and promised retaliation.
In the song Jay-Z talked about Hammer losing his money, and apparently the retired rapper took it to heart even though Jay-Z is definitely not the first person to talk about MC Hammer’s financial problems.
Jay-Z rapped on one of West's G.O.O.D. Friday tracks
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 released a new dis track and accompanying video, “Better Run Run.”
