Jay Z performs on stage at Oslo Spektrum during his Magna Carter World Tour 2013 on October 23, 2013 in Oslo, Norway.

Oscar winner Denzel Washington does a pretty mean impression of Jay Z.

During a recent appearance on the The Queen Latifah Show to promote his new film The Equalizer, Washington recalled visiting a recording studio where Lenny Kravitz and Jay Z were working on music together.

Jay Z said, “Yeah, D, I’ma play this for you, D,’” Washington said, giving a pretty spot-on impression of the rapper’s signature laugh. “It was ‘Change Clothes.’ He’s like, so what’d you think, D?’ I was like, ‘Play that again.’ He was so nonchalant with it.”



Washington also shared a story of growing up with Ludacris’ father, Wayne Bridges.

“We were musical talents even back then,” the actor said. “We played The Beatles. We went out and got some wigs and some $2 guitars, and acted like we were the Beatles and won a talent show.”

The Equalizer, which reunites Washington with Training Day director Antoine Fuqua, is on course for an impressive North American debut in the $36 million-plus range, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The movie’s soundtrack features the Eminem and Sia song "Guts Over Fear.”
