On April 17, 2008, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama referenced the song in gesture, in response to sharp attacks from his then-rival Hillary Clinton and a debate which was widely criticized for focusing on campaign gaffes rather than on candidates' policy positions.[1][2] Referencing his opponents' "textbook Washington" tactics, focusing on personal attacks and trivial issues, Obama used Jay-Z's hand signal to "brush the dirt" off his shoulders.[3] When asked whether Obama was deliberately referencing the song, a campaign spokesman said, "He has some Jay-Z on his iPod."[4]
For a long time (like 8 years) I've been listening to an amazing mashup of dirt off your shoulder and bittersweet symphony on YouTube. Starting about a month ago, all the videos of the mashup started getting taken down. I would find another one that was uploaded and listen to it for a few days before it was taken down, one after another. Now, all that I have left is this video that has the song in the background.
In the case of "Dirt Off Your Shoulder," Wayne mostly hews to Jay's flow, instead switching the subject matter up to be about how a woman needs to "get that jerk off [her] shoulders" and get with Wayne. Then, quietly at the end, he makes the same claim that he would go on to repeat on "Bring It Back": "best rapper alive since the best rapper retired." Here he's quietly beginning to make his case, one song at a time, so maybe a quiet consideration of this project is in fact the perfect, uh, prefix to understanding where that case might be headed.
Even by the end of this episode I wanted to smash a turtle, it was still my favorite one of the season so far. I agree with all your grades, Kary. And I watched that scene you mentioned where Eli and Imogen were role playing again and it truly was pretty powerful.
Actually, you only made a few grammar mistakes, and none of them were that noticeable- there are a lot of native English speakers who make worse mistakes than you did on a daily basis. :-p At the very least, your post was understandable, which, again, says a lot considering how much on the internet is unintelligible. Keep it up. :-)
