Nothing else matters but H.O.V.A.
That's our boo, Jigga. Looking all cute in his nautical sweatshirt and donkey rope.
More Just Announced
What’s bigger than Jigga Man? Nothing, in our book. There were a lot of great show announcements this week—who can resist the thought of a pre-Valentines’ Day date with St. Vincent for $13?— but H.O.V.A. was all we could see. The very notion that Mr. Carter could be wandering the Mile High City pre-show has us star struck, four months in advance of his March 22 date with Young Jeezy. We would write more about our adoration for “Jazzy”—the moniker Wikipedia claims came before Jay-Z—but we’re all out of nicknames.

Weekly vid Pick: A pre-Beyoncé Shawn Carter. Give him a break, it was the '90s.
