=== ''DanceJamtheMusic'' (2008–2009) ===
Since his 2006 album, Hammer continued to produce music and released several other raps that appeared on his [[Social networking service|social websites]] (such as [[Myspace]] and Dancejam.com) or in commercials,<ref>{{cite web|url = http://adage.com/songsforsoap/post?article_id=130377|title = The Hammer Comes A-Knockin'| publisher = adage.com}}</ref> with another album announced to be launched in late 2008 (via his own record label Fullblast Playhouse).

"[[MC Hammer discography#Singles|Getting Back to Hetton]]" was made public in 2008 as a [[Music download|digital single]]. It was a departure for Hammer, bringing in funky deep [[Soul music|soul]] and mixing it with a more [[House music|house style]]. Released through licence on Whippet Digital Recordings, media reviews were said to be "disappointing". However, the song "I Got Gigs" from this album was used in a 2009 ESPN commercial and performed during ''[[Hammertime]]'' (as well as played while he danced just prior to introducing [[Soulja Boy#2007–08: Souljaboytellem.com and iSouljaBoyTellem|Soulja Boy]] during [[YouTube Live]] on November 22, 2008).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/content_display/industry/e3i999ebd327d1b0f727cffb348e4b5229d |title=MC Hammer Puts New Single in ESPN Commercial |website=Billboard.biz |date=August 15, 2008 |access-date=May 10, 2011 |archive-date=January 13, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100113213413/http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/content_display/industry/e3i999ebd327d1b0f727cffb348e4b5229d |url-status=dead }}</ref>

[[File:Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer.jpg|thumb|MC Hammer performing with [[Vanilla Ice]] in 2009]]

In February 2009, MC Hammer and [[Vanilla Ice]] had a one-off concert at the [[McKay Events Center]] in [[Orem, Utah]].<ref name="newsweek"/> This concert aided in the promotion of Hammer's new music and television show. During the concert (as shown during an episode of ''Hammertime''), it was mentioned between the two rappers that this was their first headline show together in nearly 20 years, since the time when they were touring together at the peak of their hip-hop careers. Hammer said: "Contrary to popular belief, Ice and I are not only cool with each other, we are like long lost friends. I've known him since he was 16, before he had a record contract and before I had a record contract. It is a great reunion." Vanilla Ice said: "It's like no time has passed at all. We set the world on fire back in the day ... I'm so happy right now, the magic is here."<ref>{{cite web |first=James |last=Furbush |url=http://slyoyster.com/music/2009/mc-hammer-and-vanilla-ice-perform-in-utah-last-week-wait-what/ |title=MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice perform in Utah last week.
