Excerpt from:
There were tons of highlights from Jay-Z and Kanye West’s Watch the Throne shows at Philips Arena this weekend, but one that really stood out was when Jigga performed his hit “Izzo (H.O.V.A.),” which includes the hook “Not guilty / Y’all got to feel me!” But during the Watch the Throne show, Jay altered the lyrics to “Izzo” and said on the hook: “F*ck it, I’m guilty!” Back in 1999 Jay-Z was charged in New York with stabbing record exec Lance “Un” Rivera at a listening party for Q-Tip’s “Amplified” album. Apparently Jigga blamed Rivera for allegedly bootlegging the “In My Lifetime Volume 3″ album. Despite maintaining his innocence in two songs (see below), Jay eventually plead guilty to third-degree assault and was sentenced to three years of probation. He was facing 15 years in jail if the case had gone to trial, which is why many people speculate he plead guilty rather than face prison time, even though he maintained his innocence.
