Remember when MC Hammer went all thug and changed his name to Hammer to get a little edge? He recorded that awful “Pumps and a Bump” song and turned his backup dancers into a newly-hard posse of wannabe street thugs?

History is repeating itself.

Hammer — last spotted as a Social Media Guru pitching any product he can — is now pretending to be King Hammer the badass again and targeting Jay-Z, who took a little swipe at him a few weeks back.
