Will Ferrell Reaction to Sample On Jay-Z, Kanye West “N***** In Paris”

Will Ferrell the world-renowned funnyman breaks down his two cameos on Jay-Z and Kanye West’s chart topping Watch The Throne single, “N***** In Paris.” The Hit-Boy-produced anthem not only comes correct with a nearly untouchable verse from Hov, the year’s most ingenious double entendre (“That shit Kray”), and a beat so infectious just hearing it incites riots but subtly, at song’s beginning and again in the middle, there are two snippets from the former SNL star’s comical film, Blades Of Glory. The first is of Ferrell’s “Chaz Michael Michaels” character commanding “We’re going to skate to one song and one song only,” and in the second, most recognizable snippet he states, “No one knows what it means, but it’s provocative…it gets the people going!”

Will Ferrell adds : “Kanye reached out to me and I said, Of course” says Ferrell via email to MTV detailing how the collaboration originated. “I was completely flattered when they asked if they could sample me into the song and when I heard it for the first time, I just started to laugh because it felt so surreal. But I really did like the song.” The actor also explains that there were plans to create a film piece to be used on the video boards when Jay and Ye’ perform “N***** In Paris” during their sold out Watch The Throne tour, but unfortunately the three “haven’t gotten it together.”

Well Can’t wait to see that Happen Meanwhile we are waiting for the video to Drop Anytime soon, Time to go Paris Trick…

Nicki Minaj transformed by Francesco Vezzoli


In the space of two years, hip-hop star Nicki Minaj has made the leap from little known Lil Wayne protégée to object of national obsession, via a number-one album, seven singles simultaneously on the Billboard Hot 100—a first for any artist—and a series of scene-­stealing cameos, including an epic verse on the Jay-Z and Kanye West track “Monster.” Along the way, she’s established a zany look (all neon, all the time), introduced countless alter egos, and become the first female rapper since Missy Elliott to be cast not as a sidekick but as a bona fide swaggering leading lady.
