Jay-Z needs to add a line of headphones to his empire.  It's an untapped market, what with Beats by Dre, Soul headphones by Ludacris, Street headphones by 50 cent, and TechN9ne headphones being the only rapper endorced headphone lines out there.

This is not a reference to the classic high school sleeping pill "the great gatsby" but in fact an ebonics translation to english of a movie entitled "Great Gatz, B!". About  B and his great gatz.

Already saw a "hip-hop" version of The Great Gatsby called G (not great but better than the 70s movie).

Being in my mid 40's I am always intrigued with the youth of America's attempt to put a new twist on the classic's, what musical instruments do these Jayz and Bullit play? Oooohhh how I hope the Oboe is used properly, such an underused device

Will he fire the director one week after the opening? Also will he move the production from its home to a more black area and make them wear all black?

Jay-Z is playing Gatsby in real life. I really hope he drops "Old Sport" into one of his lyrics.

Wasn't this film supposed to have been released already? That doesn't bode well for its quality. However, I did very recently read the book, and I am curious to see how the somewhat thin story is adapted to the screen.
