When “Watch the Throne” came out in 2011 it was such a music and cultural phenomenon because it took two of the best rappers out and let them create music without holding back any indulgence. Jay-Z and Kanye West together is fantastic, but on their own they have each proven to be at the top of their genre. So when a movie trailer uses one (or both) or their songs it’s usually a positive for me. Now this doesn’t just guarantee a successful trailer. One of my inspirations for making this list is The Great Gatsby‘s trailer questionable inclusion of “No Church in the Wild” in their trailer. As soon as it started in the trailer I sort of cocked my head and thought “why is this here?”. Just because the trailer features such a great song doesn’t mean it’s going to make sense. The entries on this list, however, I think nailed it.
