It’s easy to see why Jay-Z and Kanye West performed this so many damn times. Fueled by Hit-Boy’s nimble synths and occasional drums, “Niggas In Paris” became a universal hit for soccer moms and straphangers alike. Not to mention, rappers like T.I., and Busta Rhymes got in on the fun as well. What more can we say, it got the people going.
Previously: #5 Tyler, The Creator “Yonkers” | #4 Lil Lody “Rollin” | #3 Jahlil Beats “Ima Boss” | #2 Just Blaze “Lord Knows“
HAD TO BE IT!!!! RECORD OF THE YEAR!!!!!
lol this was my least fav track from Watch the Throne. The beat isnt all that in my opinion but the last minute in the song when the beat changes was dope.
Shoutout to Hit-boy. When is ‘Jay-Z Interview’ dropping????????
Does anyone else find it weird how they shot the video for this NOT in paris?
Im so surprise????
?Techno In Paris? fuck outta here with this homo shit
I kinda assumed the big static part at the end (“you are now watching the throne… don’t let me get in my zone…”) was Kanye’s addition.
@ MJ
not really, the song has nothing to do with Paris so why bother
You’re the hipster cock gargler whose name is CONVERSE. Fuck you know about some hiphop, Chauncey?

No brainer song of the year…
song is hot
but gotta have it had a better beat in my opinion
Song makes no sense tho. Cause before jay was even born their have been Niggas in Paris. Most African american pilots had to go to Europe to get a license cause America didn’t want to license black ppl
@Loaded
fuck you is you saying closed minded ass nigga? kanye and jay did not say they were the first niggas that went to paris.
@pffft
Haha no need to talk about yaself lil man? only real niggas real chucks

@MJ they recorded the fucking song in Paris you dumb ass nigga. If they wanted, they could have shot a video there but they had to tour and Beyonce was almost ready to give birth. Plus Pitbull already shot his remix to this very song in Paris and we seen how that turned out!

shouts out to hitboyyyyy go head and do it bro!!!
stupid ppl are everywhere juss be happy for other’s my god congrad’s hitboy!!!!
IDK why these niggas ain’t drop ‘Got it have it’ first, that shit got the Otis vibe, just better IMO, but Niggas in Paris is a no brainer, some of you gotta get out the basement and hit a club or two, soon as the DJ drops it, shit gets Cra’!
Im actually one of the people who bought Watch The Throne (deluxe version) ;D
but i gotta say…that record wasn’t all special. the beat was too basic..lyrics were nothing. every other track on that album was better than niggas in paris. SMH
2011 was a slow year for hip-hop if you ask me..
i can name a hundred beats of 2011 that were nicer than niggas in paris!!
i think the song gose hard the beat really good job hitboy.
good for u chauncey!!!! good song!!
opinion’s are like asshole’s everybody got one but a asshole don’t get paid but hitboy did with his opinion with the beat for nigga’s in paris wat about yall!!!!ummmmmm
WHERE THE HELL IS “RISE AND SHINE” BY J. COLE???
at least the boy doing sumthen positive with his self wat about you ppl ijs!!!
thank god for positive folk’s cause you negative folk’s suck… nigga’s in paris is my shit bro~~~~
all i want to say is for errbody not liking or hate’n who care’s hitboy got paid yall didnt!!!good beat hitboy!!!
as usual fagradar dickriding Jay n Ye
New Day (song & beat) >>>> Niggas in Paris……sorry…atleast i’m still talking bout Jay & Ye tho.
I agree with y’all this was the best beat of the year. When I first heard this record through my Beats By Dre headphones I went insane.
@Citylivin That beat wasn’t even that good, and it sure as hell didn’t even sound like a RZA beat.
The Joy was my favorite beat on that cd tho. I’m a sample head tho
Niggas in Paris!!!! easy Button!!!
TRUMPET. BASS. DRUMS. check out this acoustic cover: http://youtu.be/wKwWjqJXa2g
Hit-Boy was feeling the BASS on this one!
it was a okay beat but the ending is what made it for a minute i thought swizz did it but i found out HIT BOY did it i mean it GET’S THE PEOPLE GOING…what more you ask for lol
they only picked this cuz the it had the most remixes doesnt mean its the best beat
DAMM MEL MAN IS ON TWITTER THE GREATEST https://twitter.com/#!/Mel_Man_Melvin
HIIPOWER and THAT GOOD

Hey RR,
Why don’t you just post the actual song.
The instrumental hasn’t been released and this Youtube version is just some nerd taking a stab at using some pieces he chopped with no vocals.
Give HitBoy and the beat their proper due.
i agree with joshua ijs
lame. ya’ll dellusional dickriders, nuthin’ more.
I understand this website is more geared towards mainstream hip-hop, but goodness you can’t be serious with crowning this as the best beat of ’11. I know this list is based of preference in taste and style but could you please step outside the commercial scene a bit.The same goes for verse of the year though Busta Rhymes verse will ill, especially for such a radio friendly song
What about:
ASAP Rocky- Palace, Peso, Trilla ( or a few other tracks from ASAP)
R4 Theme song- Big K.R.I.T. ( and others)
Common- Blue Magic, Celebrate (Some tracks of The Dreamer/Believe)r
Cunninlynguists- Enemies With Benefits
Evidence- You, The Liner Notes, I Don’t Need Love, Late For The Sky
Freddie Gibbs & Madlib- Thuggin/Deep
The Game- Ricky/Born in the Trap
J.Cole- Sideline Story
Kendrick Lamar- Rigamortous, HiiiPower, Hol! Up( just to name a few)
Nas- Nasty
Pac Div- Greatness
Phonte- The Life of Kings
Pusha T- Raid
The Roots- Stomp/Kool on
Torae- That Raw/ For The Record
Raekwon- Molasses/ Silver Rings
Reks- 25th Hour
Oh yeah and:
J.Cole- Rise and Shine
YOU ARE SHEEP. IF JAY AND YE DIDNT PERFORM THE SHIT TEN TIMES A SHOW. THIS WOULDNT BE #1. AND THATS A FACT. PEOPLE FOLLOW EVERYTHING THEY SEE. CONTRIBUTE SOMETHING OF YOUR OWN TO THE WORLD FOR ONCE.
I say lord knows was better.
I’m surprised that Bad meets Evil’s “Fastlane” wasn’t even top 5 material. Arguably one of best beats I’ve heard in 2011. I guess it’s all in musical taste
Dope fucking beat! Ii hated most of the lyrics on this album..but all the beats were fuxking amazing. I think they pretty much just advertised producers and inspired nighas to freestyle over their shit.
