Turns out Jay-Z basically invented the whole put a ring on it hand thing. Veteran choreographer Frank Gatson spilled this on some podcast. He was talking about the famous Single Ladies move everyone knows. Gatson said they were just hanging out, talking about how women gesture when saying that phrase.

Basically, a state border hop funded by public money after the...
