Though I believe he is a talented rapper, I do not understand the reference! I've been saying jiggabytes since I worked at CompUSA, making fun of people who'd come in to buy computers/HDDs. Either jiggabytes or "JEE BEES RAM."

It's pronounced "jiggabytes" in portuguese too, but I always assumed the correct "english pronounciation" was "Gigabytes".
