Remember when Jay Z started calling himself William H. Holla?

[Sackballions]

Only thing worse was Clue then naming himself William M. Holla lol

The Holla family

 

[Harry B]

Maybe just an alias, nikkas use different names especially out of town. Charlotte knows me by a completely different name then Austin.

My assumption was

William: Big Willie (street cat making big money), Jay said "no more big willie my name is grown, prefer you call me William" on RD
H: Hova
Holla: Jay was saying Holla a lot during the late 90s

A stan with Bill Russel arms might say that it's a double/triple entendre with regards to Bill Gates and some other William H too.

 

[Silver Surfer]

Ah...William H. Gates. So it was derived from him dikkriding a rich white man. What a shocker.

Another one for the "Post examples of Jay Z being a dikkriding fakkit who loves the attention" thread.

But you don't got a problem with all the rappers dikk riding Italians, Mexicans, and South Americans?

They asked Jay about this before. He literally said he was around Clue while Clue was on the phone. Someone must have said something wrong cause Clue was like "Yea nikka... I MIGHT HOLLA"

Jay started shortened it to M. Holla for Clue... He took on H. Holla for himself... And that's why on that one record he starts off with "The Holla Family" He was gonna have everyone make up a "Holla" name... But then they just dropped it

I always thought Jay & Clue got those names from William H. Macy. I've been wrong for over 20 years.
