At the TCA Summer Press Tour , Fox announced that the approaching time of year will include a one - hour ( with commercials ) hip - hops Great Gatsby instalment call The Great Phatsby . It ’ll feature the voice of Taraji P. Henson and Keegan - Michael Key and center on Mr. Burns run across a hip joint - hop magnate named Jay G.
“ This was just pass to be a veritable episode , but the tabular array read snuff it so well , in a convulsion of love and excitement and ambitiousness and excess , we decided to supersize it , ” Simpsons executive producer Matt Selman say Entertainment Weekly . “ And we have n’t done a huge amount of stories in the world of hip - hops and rap culture , so we just went for it . ”
The Great Phatsbsy , the longest instalment of The Simpsons ever , airs in January .
