In Ridley Scott's "American Gangster," Denzel Washington's character, Frank Lucas, is a ruthless drug lord who launches an empire with a popular product while his competition struggles to adapt to the changing market.
Sound familiar? Kind of? Well, there are some parallels between the career of Lucas (a real-life dealer in the 1970s) and Jay-Z's rise in the rap game. Jay said last week that seeing "American Gangster" led him to write a new album inspired by the film, with each song being his interpretation of various scenes from the movie, which comes out November 2.
