VIBE has exclusively learned new details regarding the film version of Jay-Z's American Gangster - the Jay-Z concieved movie, based on his album, based on the Ridley Scott film. Jay-Z's American Gangster film will be a 40-minute-long, fictionalized account loosely depicting dramatic, real-deal details of Hov's life. The plot will focus on Jay's uncle, who was murdered, and his father, who became obsessed with revenge and completely changed his personality after the uncle's death.

Jay-Z's a CHUMP, to go and take a name and then wanting to tell a story about how he came up... THAT'S TITTY!! "I THINK JAY-Z NEEDS TO GO AHEAD AND RETIRE" WITH HIS OOOLD ASS!! (HE'S BEEN RAPPING SINCE THE FIRST BAPTISM) JAY IS NOTHING BUT AN OPPORTUNIST, TRYING TO GET EVERYONE TO BELIEVE THAT HE'S THIS AND HE'S THAT. HE'S NOTHING MORE THAN A RICH MAN WITH NOTHING BETTER TO DO THAN STEAL ANOTHER IDEA! REMEMBER, (BLUEPRINT) HE'S WASHED UP AND IF HE WAS REALLY SELLING HOTT SH%# IT WOULD'VE SHOWN IN THE NUMBERS!!! DON'T NOBODY WANT TO KNOW ABOUT JAY-Z AND HOW HE CAME UP!! JAY IS A SUCKER AND HE KNOWS IT, NO MATTER HOW MUCH MONEY HE HAS OR THAT HE'S WITH BEYONCE HE'S STILL A CHUMP!! I WISH HE'D SIT HIS OLD ASS DOWN SOMEWHERE!!! WORD UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This won't be good. And that's assuming it will ever be made.

I have a huge amount of respect for Jay-Z because almost everything he touches turns to gold, but this is something he needs to stay away from.
