Watch SNL‘s 100% Accurate Jay Z Story Feat. J.K. Simmons As Nas
Besides D’Angelo’s stunning musical performance, there was one other highlight on yesterday’s Saturday Night Live: Mike O’Brien’s The Jay Z Story, “the definitive, fully accurate biopic” of Jay Z’s rise to fame that mock’s Hollywood’s obsession with cheap biopics and the industry’s tendency to shove white guys in leading roles whenever they possibly can. O’Brien stars as Jay Z, while Jason Sudeikis and J.K. Simmons show up as Kanye and Nas respectively. Jay Pharoah also shows up to do his spot-on Jay Z impersonation, but is shot down by O’Brien for sounding “weird.” Watch below.
