while the internet's been buzzing about the recent release of the video for jay-z and kanye's "you-know-whats in paris", i came across a claim that they had performed the song 168 times on the watch the throne tour. i quickly realized that there's no way they played that many shows, and dug a little deeper. this is hilarious:
The video -- which West directed -- starts with footage of the duo's Los Angeles performance, a decision that was perhaps made to honor the number of times they rapped the song live (10 consecutive times at the show in question). From there, the video becomes a mix of special effects (primarily of the kaleidoscopic variety) and concert footage (via)
According to Rap Radar and the fan video below, the Throne duo played the song nine times in a row last night at the end of their second show at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Nine times! At the album version's three-minute, 40-second length, that's more than a half hour of nothing but a song you've already heard a million times — that'd be, like, well on your way to two full episodes of Arrested Development on Netflix! "A glorious occasion … a record-setting evening … it's so magnificent," raved the proud multimillionaires from the stage. (via)
If you have been to one of the Watch the Throne Tour concerts, you know that Jay-Z and Kanye West really love to perform their WTT banger “Niggas in Paris“, which is currently #6 on the Billboard Hot 200. In fact, the duo performed the song 11 times in one concert in Vancouver. (via)
On their Watch The Throne tour last year, Jay-Z and Kanye West became notorious for performing their triumphant banger “Niggas In Paris” over and over, as many as 10 times. (via)that's about how many times i've watched the video in the last 18 hours.
AAAAA-GGGAAAIINNN!!!!
