Jay-Z Dirt Quotations

I noticed that difference early on, like if you were successful in rock 'n' roll, that was a really bad thing, you almost had to hide it. You had these guys selling 200 million records with dirty T-shirts on. I was like, 'Come on, man. Come on. We know you're successful.' Hip-hop is more about attaining wealth. People respect success. They respect big. They don't even have to like your music. If you're big enough, people are drawn to you.

Got some, dirt on my shoulder, could you brush it off for me?

I seen the worst of the worst. I deserve every blessing I receive I'm from the dirt.
