The only complaint I have about this video is that we only hear "Niggas In Paris" once, and not many times in a row as Jay-Z and Kanye West did on their Throne tour. Otherwise, this shit is as cray as it should be, establishing a live concert template for a generation that probably yawns at "Home Sweet Home" and "Wanted Dead Or Alive." An onslaught of kaleidoscopic effects and baroque illuminatiesque imagery (with lots of Panthers) that definitely lends credence to the word that Kanye directed the video himself enlivens sharp footage taken from their Los Angeles Staples Center concerts. And yes, there's a Chazz Michael Michaels cameo. And, yes, the audience is also way more attractive than what you normally encounter at the big arena rock show. --> watch "Niggas In Paris"
