Why does Jay Z have to get involved in everything? People treat him like some renaissance man and fail to realize that he’s just a rapper. They trusted him to “executive produce” a game with NBA 2k13 and let him pretend to run a basketball team with the brooklyn nets (1/17 of 1% ownership). Now apparently he’s tasked with copying and pasting some of his music onto the official soundtrack of an American classic, referred to by ABC as “writing the score” haha! Jay Z is not some golden goose. He’s a rapper with a lot of money and a huge following of dumb people who think he’s some business god with an unparalleled sense of style and class. Give me a break hova

WOW way to ruin a classic. I share the sentiment above – F. Scott Fitzgerald is rolling over in his grave. Why can’t we respect the past masters? Jay Z. is no Fitzgerald.

this is simply disgusting…. it was one thing when they just ruined classic songs by making a crappy remix but now they have to ruin classic pieces of literature too? I guess nothing in this world is sacred anymore.

Maybe the score will be ‘too dope’ for words, but I won’t know because sadly, this film looks ‘too dopey’ to watch. Bon voyage though! (and please take Jay-Z, Beyonce and Lil ‘Beyonce with ya!)
