And Hammer went broke so you know I'm more focused
I lost 30 mil, so I spent another 30
Cause unlike Hammer, thirty million can't hurt me

from Kanye West (Ft. CyHi Da Prince, Jay-Z, Pusha T, RZA & Swizz Beatz) – So Appalled Lyrics on Rap Genius

MC Hammer has recently become known for losing most of the fortune he amassed during his quick rise to fame in the early 90s. It’s interesting that Jay specifically mentions 30 million + 30 million, because a recent Forbes article reports that he made just over 60 million dollars in the last year

Don’t think you’re not getting any shots back, Jay! Hammer is Tweeting atchya! Please Hammer, don’t hurt em'!

Hammer released his diss track toward Jay “Better Run Run” in early November, and, well, he tried…

Also, MC Hammer’s third album released was called: Please Hammer, Don’t Hurt ‘Em

Also, a “hammer” is the functioning part of a gun which pulls its firing pin, allowing it to shoot. Unlike 30 million, the hammer of a gun CAN hurt Jay-Z, as a shot from a gun would be able to kill him.
