It's pretty simple really.

Y'all niggaz got me really confused out there I make "Big Pimpin" or "Give it to Me" one of those They held me as the greatest writer of the 21st century I make some thought provokin' shit Y'all question whether he fallin' off I'ma really confuse y'all on this one..

Jay Z's referencing being misunderstood. People are either saying saying he's too mainstream or too "gangster" in the medeia- when really they're ALL missing his message(s). His flow is so intelligent that it confuses most. Some making far fetched leaps in judgement.

This is that ignorant shit you like Nigga, fuck, shit, ass, bitch, trick, precise Come on I got that ignorant shit you love Nigga, fuck, shit, Ma he gon' boot them drugs I got that ignorant shit you need Nigga, fuck, shit, ass, bitch, trick, plus weed I'm only tryin to give you what you want Nigga, fuck, shit, ass, bitch, you like it, don't front

This addresses the masses who call him "gangster" and ignorant. He's blatantly making a point. Actors taking degrading roles in movies & reality starlets crotchshots in tabloids & gossip sites -are more acceptable than him taking a pen & paper and telling a similar tale set to a beat.

The Imus reference is how the media shifted the blame from his racially insensitive comment and blaming rappers (i.e Jay Z) for their use of similar terms. Quick to blame without fully seeing the real picture. The simple fact one uses the term "gangster rap" makes one SO out of the loop and very misinformed. "Gangster rap"- HA!
