#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Well 2013 was nice while it lasted...http://www.thewrap.com/movies/article/jay-z-composing-original-score-great-gatsby-71006If you liked the music in the trailer for Baz Luhrmann's "The Great Gatsby," you'll be happy to hear Jay-Z isn't just lending a few of his songs to the soundtrack, he's composing the upcoming film's entire original score.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Craig Armstrong is still composing. It's called, now say it with me, co-llab-ora-tion.

Uni 306 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Y'know . . . this thread started as a sort of tongue-in-cheek, the-sky-is-falling stab at a rapper trying to pull off a film score. We had some good laughs, shook our heads, and moved on.Except . . . it's stuck in my mind now, and I'm beginning to wonder, "what if?" It seems everyone these days is trying to find a fresh techno angle on just about anything that moves. How long will it be, really, before this trend begins to impact the scoring industry? We've already seen Daft Punk score an entire film. What's next? Who'll be the first artist to cross the big line—a rapper/beat-boxer conductor? How soon can we expect to wait before we see some artist with a stage name ("Queen Motifah?") standing at the podium waving a baton with one hand and scratching a record with the other? What the hell's going ON in the world. . . ?!Thanks, Steef, for opening up a whole new realm of fear for me.- Uni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Someday we might look back and mention Jay-Z in the ranks along with Danny Elfman, Randy Newman, Hans Zimmer, and Daft Punk of artists who began in one genre and successfully stepped into film score composition.Maybe.

I'm honestly not surprised since his music was used in the trailer. Jay-Z is also one of two rap artists that I actually like.You have a link for that? All I saw was that Jay-Z was collaborating with another rapper who called it "Dope". I like Armstrong's work on Incredible Hulk and a few others but hardly have any interest in this score (or movie) now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
