Never say I’m better than Hov', but I’m the closest one

from Kanye West (Ft. Big Sean, CyHi Da Prince, J. Cole & Pusha T) – Looking for Trouble Lyrics on Rap Genius

A clever reference to one of Jay’s most famous lines, made famous by Nas for his misinterpretation on the classic diss song “Ether”

Coincides with 2 lines before when j cole calls hiself jesus. he confirms this since jay z calls hiself hov which is derived from jehovah meaning he is the rap god. he says he isnt better than him but the closest one. jesus isnt better than god but he is the closest thing to being better.
