My name on the marquee, your name off the payroll

from Yasiin Bey – Sunshine Lyrics on Rap Genius

By saying his name is on the marquee, he means that he is better than everyone else. He runs circles around them, he is the marquee. Leading to that other rappers names get dropped from payrolls, when mos is so much better people will not be interested in them, so they don’t get paid
