2004: #4 - "Dirt Off Your Shoulder"

With his hand on his knots, Jay-Z delivers an epic fuck-off to all the customer cronies who are on his jock for... what, retiring? Dating Beyonce? Not actually about to really retire but just using that as a marketing ploy? We're not sure what the issue was or what got Jay's baggy jeans all in a bunch here, but when we hear this song, think of Mr. Carter and Timbaland in Photon outfits, dancing around in some kind of surreal Tron video game landscape, taunting detractors with their titular gesture, and it'll all make sense, or at least make you smile.
