    Maybe it's because the point of the verse is that he’s a monster

    Go ahead and try again to justify rapping about raping children

    Dude could’ve easily replaced “rape” with ruin or kill or rob or any other word

    Idk wtf he was thinking putting the words rape and children like 2 seconds apart

    Yea but like "rape and pillage" is like an actual phrase

    But I'm not gonna sit here and defend an old man talking about raping anything

    Ill give Jay-Z some credit for making an attempt to write a horrorcore verse

    Seriously. This was such a grandiose, loaded, perfectly sequenced song until Hov comes outta absolutely nowhere and feeds us a minute of trash absurdness. Jay-Z has the most basic uncreative verse of the entire album and one of the worst verses in hip hop discography given his reputation.

    "Sasquatch, Godzilla, King Kong, Loch Ness
    Goblin, ghoul, a zombie with no conscience
    Question: What do these things all have in common?
    Everybody knows I'm a motherfucking monster
    Conquer, stomp ya, stop your silly nonsense
    Nonsense, none of you niggas know where the swamp is
    None of you niggas have seen the carnage that I've seen
    None of you niggas have seen the carnage that I've seen
    I still hear fiends scream in my dreams
    Murder, murder in black convertibles, I
    Kill the block, I murder the avenues, I
    Rape and pillage your village, women and children
    Everybody want to know what my Achilles' heel is
    Love, I don't get enough of it
    All I get is these vampires and blood-suckers
    All I see is these niggas I made millionaires
    Milling about, spilling they feelings in the air
    All I see is these fake f***s with no fangs
    Tryna draw blood from my ice-cold veins
    I smell a massacre
    Seems to be the only way to back you b******s up"

    D'fuck is he talking about?!?!?

    Travis gif ironic

    In that case don’t include the “women and children” part

    It’s not that hard man, I’m sure he’s a good enough rapper to think of a substitute line/half line

    But when armies would rape and pillage villages it literally referred to raping woman and killing children.

    But I'm starting to feel nasty defending this line so you got it fam

    Made up for it with that so appalled verse

  • top 5 to do it all without a pen but you could def tell sometimes when son was freestyling my g.

    It's not a BAD verse.

    It's an average Hov verse.

    And on a song with prime Kanye and Nicki spitting the greatest verse of her career, yeah, that's not gonna really fly 'nahmean?
