jay z touring

"the game's f**ked up
ni**a's beats is banging, ni**a your hooks did it
your lyrics didn't and your gangster look did it
so I would write it if y'all could get it.."

“What I really plan to do is shoot [American Gangster, the album] as a movie. Like a better ‘Streets is Watching.’”. “Doing it like a musical. Real stories and get somebody in there that’s [going do to]…real writing. Someone to shoot it like ‘Godfather.’ I know that’s a little ungracious, but that’s how you gotta place it to get somewhere near.”

And, when asked if he planned to act in this movie.. “Yeah, yeah. I mean, who else gonna do that s**t?”

“I really look forward to touring, because of the music…the musicality of it all. I’m looking at a band right now. I’m looking to tour this summer. With all that instrumentation that’s in that album, forget about it. Forget about it,” he says trailing off."
