Why HOVA?

[Daliman]

Pretty sure this is some type of acronym, as I seem toremeber it being part of a title of one of his songs. Is it similar to GOAT, "Greatest Of All Time"?

Short for Jehova, or savior, or God I guess.

So when he asked his question, you typed it into google? Funny.

[Lazymeatball]

Jay-Z calls himself "Hova." The reason has already been stated.

Wow, this is the greatest biblical rapper connection since ODB changed his name to Big Baby Jesus.

I jog in the graveyard
Spar in the same ring
Now it's house by the building
Where Malcolm X was slain
I spring train in the winter
Round early December
Run suicide drills over and over
With the weight of the world on my shoulder
That's why they call me "Hova"
I'm far from being God
But I work goddamn hard

- Jay-Z "Lyrical Excercise"

Didn't the Hova song have hova spelled out on it as H.O.V.A? That lends itself even further to being an acronym, although the evidence shows retty strongly its just a jehovah reference.

i think its one of those things that's wrong on purpose to try to be cool...like N.E.R.D. (doesn't stand for anything, right?)

Jay Z. Jay-Hova.
