Pretty much.
Its weird that Jay has been around for so long that he has multiple levels of haters. Theres the oldschool haters who dont like him cuz he raps about champagne, bling, and crack. Then theres the new breed of haters who werent old enough to see him when he was an underdog and hate him for his success.
Either way, Jay has one of the better catalogs in music and should be inspirational (Dame and Biggs too) for anyone out there trying to start a business or do something with their lives. They pushed their way in the building and earned a seat at the table in the boardroom. Then they burned that bitch down and laughed all the way to the bank.
That shit is the American Dream.
