'Dumb Money' music supervisor Susan Jacobs explains why Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion's 'WAP' was important to Craig Gillespie's storyline.
Set in 2021, the film follows a group of common-man stock traders who take on the titans of Wall Street. Music supervisor Susan Jacobs says, “We had a very particular time period where it was really important to the writers because that was the moment of GameStop.”
“I started making calls to my favorite hip-hop producers.” She continues, “This is a David and Goliath story, and I needed the songs to make a movement.” With that, Jacobs turned to Mark Baston, the producer behind Alicia Keys, Jay-Z and 50 Cent. “We produced a new version of that song, but that was the most challenging because we wanted to do justice to it and make a great version that felt right for the producer.”
