That makes no sense whatsoever.
The lyrics of the song really don't matter either. What JGL sees in the song is what he sees, not what you or I could see, and he gets his influences thru it.
I personally don't see Rap and Ego-Manical-Pyscho-Doctor-Terrorist going together but whatever, he's not me and what influences I get he wouldn't.
But because Jay-Z is mainstream that has bearing on whether it's good influence or not? That makes no sense whatsoever.
And to even think that what music JGL gets his influences from is going to have any bearing on the movie is even more out there.
What makes even less sense is you got your panties ruffled and your mind boggled by an empty statement I made about an even emptier "news" posting. The point was it's an already silly thing if you ask me that JGL was cast to play the Ultimate Evil in this film's world, and that he uses a popular rapper as his muse for the part.
As if the film didn't have enough detractions already, this only makes his performance less credible in my eyes. It was just even more stupid due to it being Jay-Z.
