Sprite Liquid Mix Tour featuring Jay-Z, Roc-A-Fella Family including Cam’ron, Freeway and Beanie Sigel, 311, Hoobastank, N.O.R.E., Talib Kweli, N.E.R.D., Trik Turner and Nappy Roots
Kingdom: Jigga
Phylum: Strange
Class: Ashy to Classy to Jiggy
Plumage: Nappy beards, big white T-shirts and lots of platinum.
Defining behavior: There is none. From Beanie Sigel's gun and crack tales, to the pot-pop rock shenanigans of 311 to the political lyricism of Talib Kweli, everybody goes their own wayward way.
Habitat: Every non-reality time slot on MTV.
Special powers: N.E.R.D. and N.O.R.E. wield obfuscating acronyms.
Weakness: Jay-Z and his Roc-A-Fella Family are under attack by hip-hoppers worldwide. From Jaz-O to Nas, the Roc is drowning in the haterade. Just how many more songs can you make about your stupid name, Jigga?
