Real name: Shawn Corey Carter
Known as Shawn Corey Carter, or also as "Hove" and "Jigga", Jay-Z is touted as the world's best rapper (and often is modest enough to call himself "God MC"). He is, of course, married to Destiny's Child Beyonce Knowles, and put Noel Gallagher's nose out of joint by wowing the crowds at Glastonbury last Summer.
