That shyt was extra weak, I never ‘neg repped‘ ppl but if i could neg rep the author I would( like the kitchen cabinet) for not knowing what a double entendre is.

Im the biggest Jay Fan but alot of these lines arent Double entendres... and these guys picked some wack lines.

Imo even though ppl like to call Jay the "king of double entendres", I think Complex would do more justice to make a list of Jay's metaphors. Things like verse on thank You, Why I love you, Regrets, Murder to excellence, Most Kingz... I can go on and on..if I was trying to showcase the talent of Jay Z I would showcase his deep metaphors rather than standalone DE lines. Even though Jay does do it very well.


Jus my opinion tho

complex is hurtin themselves by not knowing what a double entendre is...

they should hire me...

also the supposed triple was the line AFTER, "Com Edison flow, I'm connected to a higher power..."

shoulda did the gawd

no it's not
that line only has one meaning
he's connected to a higher power (God)

he references an energy company but that's not a full second entendre it's just a reference

and Jay clearly thought the triple was the oww hours shyt why else would he structure his bars to suggest that... he just wanted to look like an idiot first and then get his triple entendre in?

What are y'all talking about with the "most of them aren't double entendres" shyt?

cuz they talk about whether each one is a true double entendre or not for each sample and for most of them they say that they're not (that's what it looks like after skimming it)

are you saying their explanations are wrong too?

Most of them are not. They have an English Professor responding on every line at the bottom saying if it's a double entendres or not. He says not most of the time, and explains they are almost all either puns or similes.
