The beef MC Hammer had with Jay-Z ended as quickly as it started as the Bay Area legend says it’s enough.
“As a responsible veteran of twenty something years of this [Hip-Hop]. I can’t leave it out there with tensions,” Hammer told AllHipHop. “I am reading comments on both sides, it’s not about that, I have seen all of that before. There is an opportunity to say at some point. We onto the next thing. You know, Jay took his shot and I answered. Now let’s move on.”
Early on November 10 Hammer tweeted to his followers that he was moving on.
“@MCHammer: Re- Mix time !!! 7 Days is enough. I’m Accepting Jay Z at his “Word” and moving on. I made my point. #KingHammer”
“I already know that this [beef] was going to go down like this. I know the Hip Hop audience. Ain’t nobody more aware than me,” he said.
For his part, Jay-Z never took part in the squabble. He stated he was surprised Hammer took offence to his bars in “So Appalled,” and had kind words for the man in his book.
What beef?! Did Jay-Z even give a damn?! Did this “beef” do anything for Hammer?! Fuck outta here Hammer!
yes it did, hammer got a lot of attention. he got what he wanted lol
Hovs a living legend and Ill tell you why,
Everybody wanna be Hov but Hovs still alive.
If you read comments “both sides” Then read this. You are washed up Hammer.
lmao. did anybody cared about hammer. niggas was laughing at him not with him. im speechless lol. im so appalled
uh…and this worked out for Hammer HOW?
he got attention, yes. in that everyone was laughing at him, and calling him ridiculous and washed up. that is like a fat guy falling down, and the YouTube vid going viral. you don’t say “good for him, he got attention, it worked.” you say, “what a jackass.”
let’s summarize this beef:
1) Jay-Z has a dope verse on a dope song, mentioning Hammer in a funny way
2) Hammer spazzes out on Twitter
3) Hammer makes a shitty, unintentionally hilarious song, dissing Jay-Z for absurd, fictional reasons
4) Jay-Z laughs.
5) Hammer announces the beef is over, and it went just as he intended. Uh…yeah…sure, buddy.
And how the f-ck is Hammer a “legend”, Hip Hop DX? You apply that word to everyone who’s been in the rap game for over ten years. Just doing something for a long time doesn’t make you a legend.
Well put my dude hahaha
Co-sign it ALL!!!
I think Hammer can be classified as a legend in Hip Hop. I mean dude did ALOT, and moved the culture foward as far as commercialism goes. And he was an MC which means to MOVE THE CROWD, and NOBODY moved the crowd like Hammer…even TODAY. And yea you can save me all your we gonna re-define what MC means just cause KRS ONE said so..bottom line,theres no difference between an MC and a rapper. Lets build a time machine and go back to a Hammer show in 89-91 and then lets go to a rapper’s show in 2010, and you tell me which one was more hype? Dude might’ve not been lyrically great, but that doesn’t take away his legend status. Dude SHUT STADIUMS DOWN..point blank period. I mean his diss response was wack, but that doesn’t make him not a legend.
everyone knows who MC hammer is even the kids that werent old enough to remember him actually putting out music. that qualifies him as a legend. Doesnt mean he was good or bad but definately a legend yes
Hammer is the first rapper to go diamond…thats pretty legendary if you ask me…just sayin…
IF NAS DIDNT SLAY HIS ASS BACK IN THE DAY THEN JAY WOULD OF RESPONDED TO MORE BEEFS… HES BEEN A PUSSY WHEN PEOPLE HAVE CALLED HIM OUT ON TRACKS & JUST USES THE “I AM RICH” COMEBACK
I couldn’t have said it better.
Just a point, he is rich and why does he have to respond to people. Who wrote the rules that he has to respond. Lets take a look at the facts…the artist that went at him have had nothing to loose or weren’t even on his lyrical radar. The only artist that said something that he could have responded to was 50 but 50 lyrically can’t see Jay, he couldn’t even beat Rick Ross lyrically, he just made videos and spoofs, which in my mind was totally outside the character of what hip hop is. So why would Jay respond?
Sha Stimuli went at Jay for a long time and I personally think Jay was scared to at him lyrically but as you said Sha had nothing to lose, mainly because Jay already took it from him by screwing the man over.
nas didn’t slay anyone.. ether lyrically is weak.. the track is amazing.. career for career nas doesn’t even appear on the radar.. that dude is a reject with a serious lack of focus.. he’s saving the trees one minute and you can hate me now the next.. or is one mic.. oochie wallie wallie.. get out of here with this garbage
It is good to see not everybody is dickriding nas.. I think nas is good, but I totally agree ether is an overrated song
nas is more praised for his older music (illmatic) than for his newer songs. also, wtf are you talking about lack of focus? you’re complaining about the mans VARIETY? go listen to waka flocka, all he raps about is pow pow pow. can’t get much more focused than that.
you clowns always find a way to bring up NAS in every blog about hip hop or about Jay-Z! the shit is starting to be comical.. this was about some shit Hammer & Jay, and now it’s about some Ether dope that put Jay-Z back in his place @ a time he thought his shit didn’t stink! Say what you feel, but the masses voted Nas’ shit killed Jay! Jay-Z is still fucking amazing, but don’t front like is some washed up rapper cuz he’s not doing G.O.O.D Friday music every week and he can talk about other things besides MONEY,MONEY,MONEY OH.. HOES, BITCHES,BITCHES,BITCHES OH.. THE TRAP,THE TRAP,THE TRAP OH.. WAIT.. COKE,COKE,COKE.. PLEASE FORGIVE HIM!!
Ether lyrically was weak? RFLMAOOOOOO!!! That’s the most hilarious statement I heard probably coming from a dumb uneducated Hip-Hop fan who just sits on line and says dumb shit just to get people riled up…If NAS had some shit out right now that was poppin’ everywhere then your dumb ass wouldn’t be saying that…If anything Jay should unfortunately be very thankful and blessed because he’ll always have 20 billion dicks up ass for the rest of his life and he doesn’t have to worry about people saying that he was whack since he bought his respect into the rap game and yes I did say BOUGHT! …It’s a damn shame that people kiss Jay’s ass too much just because he made himself out of money from head to toe…I swear if you were to see Jay-Z in person physically it would be like looking at a $100 dollar bill and talking to a $100 dollar bill because that’s what Jay has transformed himself into…You might as well start calling Benjamins Shawn Carters since the man idolized money too damn much…And for the dumb ass Shady character upabove: for your information nobody dick rides NAS as much as they do Jay-Z so what kind of fucking brain were you born with? RFLMAO! I swear you dumb for brain guys make me laugh with the stupid shit you’ll say just to protect Jay-Z so much…Jay-Z pretty much bought his way into the music business with what was left over with that drug money he made,bought his way into making people respect him and like him forever,stole bits and pieces of his style from Jaz-O-Twista-Kane-and Biggie, bought his way into making people believe that he’s not a whack rapper and that he’s never made a whack rap record ever which he has but you dick heads over look it time and time again because you love the way Jay’s asshole comforts your dick so damn much and you are too scared to pullout because it feels so damn good and better than pussy to you,bought his way into branding his name by making it bigger than what it is so people can be brainwashed into claiming he’s flawless and can’t be touched…Sorry but this whole man’s career was bought and don’t lie to yourself and think that it wasn’t…Money plays a major apart as to why Jay is where he is…If Jay didn’t pay his way to the top then nobody wouldn’t be keeping their dick in his asshole so much so stop…Ether killed Jay so end of story so stop bitching and moaning about it and stop bringing up NAS’ name…At least NAS can live in some peace where Jay can’t since he’s for the love of money so damn much…Money protects Jay-Z…Money is Jay’s protection and money is Jay’s way of not being able to get hurt…Money is Jay-Z’s shield…It’s his force field…If Jay went completely broke tomorrow blindedly just imagine how many niggaz and how many people would take shots at him…He would no longer be untouchable…That force field would be gone and he’d be over and all those 20 million dicks that stay in Jay’s ass would be directly pulled out of Jay’s ass without even thinking twice about it…People would stick it somewhere else and soon that’ll happen in the future…
Word! Do you know what the intention of a diss track is? Nas absolutely raped Jigga’s ass. Jay-Z cried as he heard Ether. The new synonym for diss tracks is Ether. You can’t achieve more with a diss. Nas destroyed Jay-Z on that.
DUDE…STOP TROLLING.
@ Cam’ron…
lose sleep over jay-z much? jeezus…u talk about being up dudes ass, u must be able to see what he ate for breakfast today from where you’re sitting…all that typing and you didnt say SHIT…
and for the record…line for line, the jay/nas beef is actually pretty even, probably leaning towards jay (get mad if u want but jay WENT IN on super ugly)…but the fact is at the time, nas toppled a giant on his throne when no one saw it coming, it was a BIG deal, historic in fact, and everybody likes to root for the underdog…its not complicated…realistically nas didnt do a damn thing to jay..jay continued to sell and make moves all the way up to the point he’s at today…and on some real shit, nas pulled himself out of a slump with ether and started putting out crazy material on stillmatic…damn…i remember those days…back when hip hop was INTERESTING…
cosign the dude who mentioned everyone talking about jay and nas when the article is about hammer….HA!!! would love to see a jay and nas collabo album…probly never happen tho…o well…
@ Cam’ron
I’v seen the word dick and ass so many times in your story that its hard for me to even take it seriously. Your whole story is about Jay-Z in person! I dont give a shit about jay-z. And I dont give a shit about nas either. I just enjoy the music, wheter its nas, jay, eminem, immortal technique.. I dont care what they do in their personal lifes or if they do it for the money. They all do it for money. And people like you, haters, make them even more powerfull! Think about that before you insult jay-z 100 times in one comment. And if you want to convince someone, or been takin seriously then you should really try to act like an adult, instead of talking about jayz’s dick so much. And I know I mentioned it to, but not every sentence.
Wow, the Roc nation interns are heavy on the boards today spamming… God forbid someone should respond factually to a jay-z insult.
Tell me, what part of attacking him by jumping on a trend where everyone’s speculating he’s a devil worshipper factual?
I don’t care either way about this beef, because Hammer was butthurt and Jay went for an easy reference, but how was that factual.
He was pop-locking with a teenager in a vest. How is that factual?
wow. Jay-Z is god to yall. Im from brooklyn and I wasnt happy about it but Nas killed him and he hasn’t been the same since. When Ether dropped every car in NY was blasting “FUCK JAY Z!!” that shit got him scared to even try to battle. AS far as Hammer, he went broke trying to look out for his folks, whereas Jay rapes his peoples for they swag and drops em when somebody new comes along. This rap game is backwards.
So after Ether dropped and Jay publicly called Nas out to a rap battle….it was all fear…
and to say that Nas murdered Jay…is laughable…break down the beef…line for line…Jay>Nas
But it is all opinion so….w/e
Yo co-sign tha F&CK outta this! Nas smashed jay-z. Ether was murda! jay-z aint what everybody makes him out to be, hyped up way too damn much. And I’m just sad for hammer, how you gonna have a public argument with yourself? Do that around here they give you a jacket and a padded room. WTF Hammer?
What beef? Hammer was beefing with himself. Nobody gives a shit about what MC Hammer says.
Seriously, I almost fell out of my chair at the title of this article. Ain’t no damn “beef” and calling it that is just giving Hammer undeserved hype. Hammer is pretending to be taking the high road when he shouldn’t have been pissy to begin with.
nothing wrong with the title. It’s true that Hammer had a beef with Jay z… that does necessarily mean that Jay z had a beef with Hammer.
*doesnt
Jimbo:
If you don’t give a shit then why bother reading and responding to it?
i swear everytime an article with Jay is on here everybody wants to jump on it and say how jay is wack, jay is this and that. lets be serious here. Jay makes money…. he is a walking breathing legend. there will never be any debate about Jay’s status in the hip-hop game. he is a legend like it or not. He doesn’t have to deal with silly ass rappers… I’m not taking anything away from Nas he’s put out 5-6 amazing albums….and maybe he did win the beef between the two, it will always be up for debate. But you know what…Jay is still here, Jay is always gonna be here niggaz. Stop hating hahah
Slave to the dollar…u must live in a mansion and drive a maybach, gotta a couple mill like jay-z, so thats how u relate to his lyrics, riiiight.
Dude… will you PLEASE take Jay’s dick out of your mouth?
^^^^TROLL ALERT!!!
DDAAMMNN is a TROLL!
MC hammer a bitch
Today’s hip hop fans are weak. You act like you can’t like 2 rappers. Takeover was dope but Ether was better….Jay-Z has made more good tracks then Nas has, but I love Nas new shit with Damien Marley. It’s simple folks stop hating on someone cause they got money…you don’t like their music, then don’t like it. But to hate on someone cause they rich you sound like the mad rapper on the “kick in the door” track by biggie….or more like it you sound like the bitter cat on the “The storm” skit off DMX first album….respect the music they both put out and leave it at that.
How the fuck does jay-z have more good tracks than Nas? are u serious. from a Hip-Hop standpoint Nas has it over jay in every area
couldnt have said it better…too much babies these days…niggas think they know em
Your right. But as you can see, there is already someone who wants to start a discussion with you lol.
is because jay is a high illuminati freemason hammer has to shut his mouth but er really knows how evil jay is
This world is filled with so many retards… and you’re one of them.
Thank God, now Hammer can just fade back into obscurity like he should be…
Hammer is a dancing machine!!!MWAH
This has got to be Jay-Z’s greatest news ever … pheew!
Beef? Im pretty sure Hammer was just baptizing Jay in the end of his video. Lol
maybe this is a publicity stunt for j to move more books!
Hammer forgets Drake said something similar
“Will I blow all this money baby, Hammertime?”
but he didnt say nothing to Drake. Guess he thought Jay-Z would get him some attention for a bit.
Alot a Hov Hate Lately Only 2 restin in Heaven can mentioned N tha same breath As Him!!
Hammer Dont Hurt Em!!!!!
Thank goodness for that.
With these two at war it could have been Ryu vs Bison all over again!
…….
He just called it quits because he knew damn well that Jay-Z wouldn’t respond to this fool’s cry for attention… Seriously, Hammer’s video and song were hilariously wack! And i wasn’t surprised at all.
This was never a beef in the first place. Hammer aint never had skills. He got lucky off his dancing skills and made some money, then got stupid and lost his money.
What do we think about Hammer??????
He gets the Gas Face
Hammer, for real, get a day job. Vanilla Ice did.
send his ass to the loony bin! he’s delusional!
