Jay-Z Wants to Be A Dad

Encore- "From Marcy to Madison Square, to the only thing that matters it's just a matter of years"

Freestyle- "Where as I used to have a few hos I am just, concentratin' on makin' a new Hov from sex"

That first line from Encore is very ambiguous. What is the only thing that matters? It means different things to different people. To some it means establishing a career, which he has already done. He went from the Marcy projects in Brooklyn, a severely impoverished neighborhood, to selling out the world's most famous arena, Madison Square Garden. This song was made for the Black Album which was to accompany his farewell concert at MSG, which was documented in the film "Fade To Black" (the title was in reference to his career).

To others, the only thing that matters is passing teaching the next generation how to love. Most people do this in the form of having a child and teaching it how to love and live. When you couple that thought up with the fact that he and Beyonce just got married (and Jay is getting a little older and settling down) AND the other line, it's pretty much a no-brainer.

Jay is looking to have a child. That's the only thing that matters, and it's just a matter of years. He wants to make a new Hov from sex.
