when jay-z started he was never the hottest rapper, he got bigger and bigger with every album, while his peers guys like DMZ and son fell off when they were way bigger than him at the beginning
he's just letting this young rappers know, they got a lot to do before they can catch up to him because of his longevity
Eminem sold more albums than jay, but he isn't richer than jay, he isn't a boss either
if Eminem was doing a business venture nobody would take him serious because he's a dope addict
Eminem's music is corny, when he's 55 years old he can't perform any of his music without looking ridiculous
when jay can go through a catalogue worth shyt wearing a suit and tie with an orchestra backing him up
you get laughed at being eminem fan today, when jay-z is an old man who makes a living off his name alone without doing anything
so the song was basically saying, enjoy the spotlight while you have it, because when people move passed you I will still be here
