Rapping Romantic Comedies

The 'Ni**as in Paris at Midnight' Video Mashes Up the Hit Song and Film

While 'Watch the Throne' may have been a collaboration between Kanye West and Jay-Z, it seems that the rappers might have to make room for director Woody Allen with the 'Ni**as in Paris at Midnight' video.

The viral video has exploded and is making its way around the Internet at lightning speed. Featuring clips from the romantic comedy set to the song Ni**as in Paris, this seemingly obvious mash-up is fantastic nonetheless.

What could be better than watching Owen Wilson dance to the biggest hip hop song of 2011? Midnight in Paris has become a hit in its own right as well, with stars like Owen Wilson, Rachel McAdams, Marion Cotillard, Kathy Bates, Carla Bruni, Adrien Brody and Michael Sheen. The film is also nominated for an Oscar.

The Ni**as in Paris at Midnight video truly is the best of both worlds.
