The sheer number of triple entendres Jay-Z has is utterly disgusting.

Jay lines go over A LOT of people. I'll be checking this thread often.

Very nice. Definitely didn't catch that. 
I'd drop Jay's Primetime verse in here but I'm tired and I'm pretty sure someone posted it in here once. If anyone knows where to find it copy it over. One of his more recent 

 verses.

Thinking back when we first learned to use rubbers
He never learned so in turn I'm kidnapping his baby's mother
My hand around her collar, feeding her cheese
She said the taste of dollars was @+%#$@ so I fed her fifties
About his whereabouts I wasn't convinced
So I kept feeding her money 'til her #*%# started to make sense

 

[trynafeelmink]

Hov's the audio equivalent to braille
That's why they feel me in the favelas in Brazil

and waterhouse because Real/rio (Referring to Rio de Janeiro) recognize real

%+$!! it ain't about rich and poor/ its about rich and po

(Bueller had a Muller but I switched it for a Mille
Cause I’m richer and prior to this sh@@ was moving free base)

Richard Pryor used to free base

This line is clever in so many ways

He's also Richard (sounds like he says "richer") because he switched his watch for a Mille (sounds like he says a "million"), who designs that particular watch.

Didn't get the watch reference along with the Pryor reference until someone pointed this out

-Meaning #2-
The other reason, we got a gang of green

If there's better at gettin cheddar that remains to be seen...

Also isn't the Jets frontline on defense called Gang Green?

 

[brandon3000]

The way some of y'all are tossin around the term "triple entendre" makes me wonder if u really know what a double entendre is or if you realize a Triple is technically not a real thing...

Also the guy that put gangrene with not being able to "run" because your foot has to be ambulated

@ your reaching. Just saying that the disease stops your blood from running is enough I think... But it's cool

Correct I actually was going to post this addition.  Sick verse. Jay just has too many sick lines/verses.

 

[goldenchild9]

SHWAP...
Ennis Cosby was killed while attempting to change a spare tire on his car.

On the evening of January 16, 1997, Cosby was on his way to visit his friend Stephanie Crane when his Mercedes Benz got a flat tire alongInterstate 405, Los Angeles. He pulled his vehicle near the off-ramp on Skirball Center Drive and phoned Crane, explaining what had happened. Crane drove out to meet Cosby and focused the lights of her vehicle on the Mercedes's flat tire to illuminate it.

As Cosby was changing the tire, Mikhail Markhasev, a Ukrainian immigrant who worked at a nearby restaurant, approached the driver-side window of Crane's vehicle and pulled a gun on her. Crane sped 20–50 feet down the street then turned the vehicle around to retrieve Cosby; by the time Crane got back to Cosby's vehicle, he had been shot in the head, and Crane could see Markhasev running down the street. Crane was unable to describe the killer, except that he resembled a character in the film Dead Man Walking.

Thinking back when we first learned to use rubbers
He never learned so in turn I'm kidnapping his baby's mother
My hand around her collar, feeding her cheese
She said the taste of dollars was @+%#$@ so I fed her fifties
About his whereabouts I wasn't convinced
So I kept feeding her money 'til her #*%# started to make sense

Can someone finish this post?
