In 1991, MC Hammer created "2 Legit 2 Quit" which was essentially a challenge to Michael Jackson to a dance battle to settle who was the better dancer.
The music video was a spectacle, costing three million dollars. The most expensive music video made at the time.
Vanilla Ice made his own challenge to MC Hammer in his song "Hit 'Em Hard", recorded in 1992. Ice at the time was often compared to Hammer and both of them battled for the no. 1 spotlight, including being asked the akin question of whom was the better dancer. In one small segment of the song, Ice calls out Hammer and his song 2 Legit 2 Quit and challenged Hammer to a dance off.
No challenge was ever accepted and neither Michael Jackson or Vanilla Ice ever took part in any sort of dance off with MC Hammer.
