Guy # 1: Man, Michigan State looks good this year, but I don't think they'll make it to the final four.
Guy # 2: Don't be stupid, bro. Michigan State is coached by Tom Izzo. He turns lemons into lemonade.
C'mon people get wid it. Izzo is O. Izzay is A. Jay-Z is from Brooklyn and like Biggie loves word games. Jay-Z calls himself HOVA, HOV, Hovito etc. Hova (in all its forms) is short for Jay-Hova. A stylistic nickname derived from Jehova. Therefore, it can be argued that Jay-Z (Shawn Carter) is God of the rap game.
