Here I am goin to do a quick little analysis for one of the many Hov songs I like

Short analysis of each verse...Wont post the verse since it'll take up too much space..yall prolly know the verses alrdy and if u dnt look em up

Here goes

Verse 1

Jay tipping his hat to those that engaged battle with him
He pays his respect for their successful runs and work they did in their careers

Verse 2
Kind of similar verse 1, Jay is just reflecting on both the old and newer artists and how they came in the game, like a King whos proud to see those that follow his footsteps continue to grow as artist

Verse 3

And after he pays his respect he sets himself up as the one and only Hov
The one that will never go
All the rappers of Jay's time and before him have merely fallen into obscurity for the mere talk of hip hopster message boards
He is the one and only Hov...There is none like him
All the other inhabitants of the rap game are like grasshoppers in his sight
His run is ultimate

Hov was created for this
Hov is rap personified
Bow down :skip:

"



EM response on "Seduction"--- mocking HIS "AUH" ADLIBS :russ:


I am also the opposite of wht you are like. You are microcosm of what the fukk I am on the mic.
I am awesome and you are just AWW struck. She's love stricken.
She's got her jaw stuck, from sucken my dikk. Aww fukk.



There's a seven disc cd changer in her car, and I'm in every single slot, and you're not. Aww.
I'm the logo on the dallas cowboy helmet.
The star, and I'm not about to sit back and just keep rhymin one syllable. Aww.
Switch it up, and watch them haters not give it up cuz ya just not good enough.
Well I'm not giving up til I get my respect, and I wont stop til I get enough,
cuz I'm not livin up to my own expectations. Aww.
That hater alarm is soundin off, that Obama took the bomb from my name. Aww.
So quit cryin that I took your dame, homie she's my dame. Aww.
You sadly mistakin if you thinkin that I'm not on my game, boy.
And thangs just ain't been the same since the day that I came forth.
You wear your heart on your sleeve. I sport that white tank boy.
But you got a hard on for me. What you hollerin my name for?
It's your bytch on my dikk. Ain't my dang fault. Man, I can't call it.



"they call me fire marshall i shut this shyt down, yuour enitre aresanal caqnt fukk with 1 round" :whew:

And could I be a star?
Does fame in this game have to change who you are?
Or could I be the same one who came from a far away life
Just to make it in this broadway lights
Now I'm shinin in the broad, day-light - go figure
A slow transition from a lil' broke nikka from the 'Ville
Got a deal, a real life saver
Dreams of being behind the wheel like, Jada
I chill now, cop a lil' ice later
Cole, you got a glow like a lil' Lightsaber
So, clap for him, then applaud Hov
He gave 'em a platform
Flow so sick thought he wrote the rap for him - no sir
The flow cold as a shoulder of a gold diggin hoes
When a broke nikka 'proaches
Told ya I'm focused man, I'll let you muh'fukkers soak it in

Clap for him :clap:

:whew::whew::whew:

Cole renegaded him :lolbron:
