Jay-HOVA, like Jehova.

"God MC, me Jay-Hova"

My favorite line is from The Takeover: "Twinkle Toes, you're breaking my heart" That is one of the alltime best dis songs ever.

J-Hova? because i think that he compared himself to a lyrical god once. or in every song. i can't remember. basically it's a great move of hubris and people like him (except for r. kelly).

that's a bad-ass song you've quoted, btw. i think that my favorite line was way back when he said "i want money like Cosby, who wouldn't?"

I know his name is Jay Hova but he always asks
"How you think I got the name Hova?"

at one point my brother would come into the house and always yell
"Hovee's home"

and chase, love your avatar, kicks ass

JAY HOVA, like JEHOVA....get it?

I know he says that, but what he means is, I'm bad, why do you THINK mu'hfucker's call me that?

The Hovee's Home thing is probably an anacronysm. Like I didn't always refer to people as "GAR" but if I tell a story from pre-Gar days, it could slip in.

You are making this more complicated than it is.
