and performed their song “Ni**as in Paris” a record-setting 12 times in a row at a concert Tuesday night in the French capitol. Thatap supposedly a record.
The rappers have been constantly trying to outdo themselves, increasing the number of times “Ni**as in Paris” is sung during their “Watch the Throne” tour. The last count totaled 11 in Vancouver in December. Thatap more than 40 minutes of the same exact song during a single concert.
It might be the pair’s signature live song on tour, but setting such a personal record comes at a high, and probably very annoying, price for fans.
Nearly an hour out of what couldn’t have been more than a two, maybe two-and-a-half hour concert, was spent repeating such fine artistic musings like: “Ball so hard mutherf*ckas wanna fine me/ That sh*t cray.”
The song also gained fame for its use in a viral election video for French presidential candidate/now current president, François Hollande.
