It seems nowadays rappers are purely lazy at making a true music video to their most popular songs. Jay-Z & Kanye West join this category with their latest music for the track “Ni**as In Paris”, which displays a chop up of a live performance the duo artist performed whilst adding special effects. To us at Epic Network it just seems no point to create a music video where all you are seemingly describing is how much you were not there to see the expensive show…

That, as well as it is a lazy attempt to market a track that possibly deserves a little more of an attempt to provide proper visuals. However; this is Jay-Z and Kanye West we are speaking of, two artists who claim to own the throne(s) of Hip Hop as well as be able to merely pull off a music video as such.

The video itself does very well in pointing out the hottest women in the audience, playing also with some mirrored effects and strange graphics sure enough to get “Illuminati” rumours started all over again. Personally speaking this is actually the first time I’ve heard the song, and while not so impressed with the music video itself, there is something about the track which becomes an addictive loop.

All I will say is, bring Missy Elliot back to show how it’s done visually. Checkout the video below and let us know your thoughts:
