Yeah consigiliere is like the advisor to a crime boss. It's a pretty cool word to throw in.

@XenonRush The lyrics are just dense with a lot of clever rhymes, consigliere is the dude busting out some thesaurus words to layer out the lyrics so it's not like, simple and samey. It's well-written. The subject matter is silly as hell but hey that's Jay-Z

It's apparently "consigliere". 🤔 Never heard that word before either.

Me neither. I’m dumb! 😭@thepreposterouspanda
It's a good rhyme...
