This is a reference to the song “Never Change” by Jay-Z (a.k.a. Hov), which West produced and rapped on. This song was released before Kanye had even released one album – thus the fact that his brags here are about his production on other peoples' songs.

In October 2005, Jay-Z put on a concert at Madison Square Garden that he called “I Declare War”. He left it intentionally vague as to who he was declaring war on, and many speculated it would be Cam'ron, who, along with his Dipset crew, had been throwing shots at Jay for months
As it turned out, Jay didn’t declare war on anyone, and instead declared peace with his old enemy Nas

This vow to come to the aid of Jay-Z and Memphis Bleek in times of trouble by killing their adversaries (and their children!) would not last very long. Cam had a troubled relationship with Roc-a-fella and was dropped after two albums. By 2006, Cam would be releasing vicious dis songs to his former boss. See the long history of their often-antagonistic relationship here
That’s a double at the end(make corpse of their kids). He’s either talking about killing the children of their ops, OR!!! He could be saying their ops is Jay’s kids, which makes me think this was a shot at Nas. The last bar did say he would cross the bridge(Queens Bridge)
