| Hip-Hop Rumors: Jay-Z As Frank Lucas? Rockers Got Jokes...
I really can say that I don't know what happened with Jeezy and the DJs from North Carolina. I can say that according to rumor, the ban on Jeezy has been lifted. I think that some facts came out and some things were cleared up. Either way, Jeezy and Jamz worked it out. That's cool. You can't ban the Snow mMan. I will try to get the real deal asap.
JAY-Z AS FRANK LUCAS?
They actually look a lot alike. I used the old classic gangster pic of Jay for affect.
So let me get this. Jay-Z wanted to play Frank Lucas in American Gangster, according to a source for Sandra Rose. Jay-Z gets turned down for role after Denzel enters the picture.

If so, is the groundwork being laid for a Romney/Thompson ticket? <edit> MSNBC has just announced that Dick Cheney's daughter, Liz, will join the Romney campaign as a Foreign Policy Advisor.
