might not be his best, but I've always liked his I Wanna Rock verse

Hold up, I wanna rock right now
My name is Hov and I came to shake the town
Yeah, your boy's internationally known
But I'm from the hood, got a pocket full of stones
I used to cop "Rob Base", turn it into "EZ Rock"
Just to stay "Doug E. Fresh", all that shyt to easy rock
Used to "Chef" Raekwon, give fiends a "Ghostface"
Y'all know my "Forte", I just might catch a dope case
I "Mastered" the "P"
With connects in the Midwest, so I'm "Heavy" in the "D"
Your boy still "Snoop" around
Since a pup, I been "Kurupt" and I fukk with Tha Dogg Pound
Ugh! Roc Nation is the gang now
Some dope lyrics is the only thing I slang now
I "Get the Job Done", I put the "Kane" down
It's no "Biggie" - heh, I'm just a king now

I haven't peeped but is this another Jay spokesman arguing it's a great verse because everything he said is true and it's the storied conclusion of his career etc etc etc. Pass. It's a dope verse because it's clever, one of his longest verses and is compelling beginning to end. I'm not giving him points because it's a true story or because it's the final chapter (or is it). Nobody else would use that criteria about a rap verse.

Still quote this on the daily

“nikkas forget nikkas as soon as your coffen off in the ground
Family man, look at your kids orphans now
Used to just smack rappers
I'm extorting them now
Taking all that's important to them now down to your bytch
nikka you sick fronting like you tougher than what you are
Till the gun is coming thru the drivers side of your car
Using my name in vein like I won't damage the boy
You think nikkas was shooting you out of canons before (I'm that nikka)
nikkas is pompous, first they in Evil Kanevil jumpers
Than they turning over Rovers like they want it with Hovah
It's not about rich and po', nikka, it's about Richard Poe
Understand I'm here to get this dough
It ain't about Brooklyn or Harlem
No more them it's about fame or stardom
It's about me being on blocks you borrowed from
I'm setting myself apart from rappers who use other peoples names
So other motherfukkers can watch 'em
It's as sample as this - y'all nikkas get off my dikk
I'll let you eat after I get off my bricks
The world's most dangerous clique; R.O.C. - mind right bytch”
