Can you believe The Black Album turned 10 years old today? Being one of the loyal fans who bought the album when it came out in November of 2003, it’s crazy to think this was supposed to be Jay-Z‘s last. Of course, 10 years later, he has four more albums under his belt and retirement doesn’t look like it’s ever going to happen.
“Dirt Off Your Shoulder” might not be the biggest single from the album, but the way the song cut to “PSA” in the video is what always stands out about it. Not to mention the fact that Beyoncé made a cameo, back when there were only rumors of the two dating.
Plus, what’s better than Jay-Z and Timbo on the boards? Smoke one and reminisce with one of Hov’s best albums from the catalog if you get a chance today.
