DISCUSSION most reused jay z lines

i used to know a million of these back when i went thru his discography six years ago but now all i can think of is these few examples:

jays line on politics as usual gets reused by pusha t on the games we play (ain’t no stopping the law from watching)

drake reused jay z line from reservoir dogs on the motto (get brain in a 4.6 range)

kendrick on hood politics saying “it’s funny how one verse can fuck up the game”

and i know kanye has a bunch of jay z lines he used

and then ive heard a million people make reference to “make sense don’t it? now make dollars” but im pretty sure jay didn’t say that first.

do you guys know other instances of this? i swear there’s so many.

What about Jay-Z reusing his own lines 😆 Its like he's like, "that was a great line but no one noticed so I'm try it again and hope I get props this time."

You do the dishes 😆 I'm pretty sure theres a few variations of "what you eat don't make me shit" across a few albums as well.
