The ever-stylish and talented Lupita Nyong'o has been solidified in the pop culture hall of fame, a.k.a. a Jay Z song. He released "We Made It" Sunday night, featuring rapper Jay Electronica. Or Jay Electronica is featuring Jay Z. Whatever. Lupita is what's important here. Around 2:07, Jay says, "I'm on my Lupita Nyong'o / Stuntin' on stage, after 12 Years A Slave./ This Ace of Spades look like an Oscar / Black tux, look like a mobster." The actress tweeted her thanks today:

Dear Mr. Carter & Mr. Thedford, your shout-out made me screech with glee. Mad BK & NOLA love. #WeMadelt - LN @S_C_ @JayElectronica

They've also spliced the song with Kenny Powers soundbites so everything is great all the time.
