\n\tThe long-awaited Gladiator<\/em> sequel is finally on the way, and the Ridley Scott-directed film released the first trailer<\/a> for the Roman Empire blockbuster on Tuesday (July 9) featuring Ye (formerly Kanye West<\/a>) and Jay-Z\u2019s<\/a> \u201cNo Church in the Wild.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tYe\u2019s bars didn\u2019t make the cut, but vocals from Jay and Frank Ocean\u2019s<\/a> soothing chorus are heard at various points of the bloodthirsty teaser. Some viewers were confused by the Watch the Throne <\/em>reference, but a deeper look into the lyrics used make more sense as a fit for the film\u2019s themes. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cTears on the mausoleum floor\/ Bloodstains the Colosseum doors,\u201d Hov raps while seemingly referencing the varying reactions to deaths from opposite sectors of society. Colosseum battles are also part of the Gladiator<\/em> lore. Ocean sings about the different levels of social hierarchy: \u201cHuman beings in a mob\/ What\u2019s a mob to a king\/ What\u2019s a king to a God.\u201d<\/p>\n
