What was I going to say?

Seriously, when i wrote the title... I had forgotten what I wanted to say.

BUT... i remembered.

"H to the Izzo". What does that mean? Anybody?

Well, here are some interesting facts for you:

1)Jay-Z refers to himself as "J- HOVA". Obviously a pun on Jehovah. Also, his way of saying that he's the God of the rap world.
2)I read somewhere that "H to the Izzo" also means "let's HEAD OUT". To put it in context, "dude, let's h to the izzo, this party is lame." I don't know if I believe that, but sure.
3)Anyway, the song itself is supposed to be autobiographical. It's about Jay-Z growing up, "including how he sold crack in Brooklyn and showed his entrepreneurial streak by going to Virginia and Maryland to peddle drugs there for a bigger profit. Proceeds from drug dealing allowed him to finance his first album and start Roc-A-Fella Records."
4) The song totally rocks.

That's what i've been listenin' to. And I always think of Eric whenever I hear Jay-Z. Possibly because he's big pimpin'.
