Studio executives feel Top Five is “a film broad and filthy enough for mass appeal.”(talk amongst yourselves for that one!)

Jay Z has produced several other films, including the forthcoming Annie, as well as 2013’s The Great Gatsby and the 2012 documentary Free Angela and All Political Prisoners, while Kanye’s film production credits focus on projects tied to his music, including 2005’s Kanye West: College Dropout – Video Anthology and 2008’s Kanye West Homecoming Special.
