Exactly how annoyed do you think Gwyneth Paltrow is right about now? During one of their recent European tour stops, Faith No More decided seemingly on the spot (best not to over-think these things, really) to toss a verse of Jay-Z and Kanye West's Watch The Throne staple "Ni**as In Paris" into their set, off-limits-to-white-people words and all.
My theory? Because Jay-Z and Kanye insist on performing the song so many damn times, they've literally started renting out space in other people's shows. Seriously, how many times can you perform the same song in two-hour show? Fifteen? Sixteen times? Not enough. Just think of Mike Patton as one of many "N*ggas In Paris" surrogates and check out the results below.
Is it lame that I kind of want to hear Faith No More take a stab at the rest of the song? Or that I wish Kanye West had a fraction of Patton's vocal range? Or that playing the same song more than twice in a single concert is the biggest douchebag move this side of The White Stripes' purportedly record-breaking "world's shortest concert"? Feel free to address these questions and more in our comments section below.
What do you guys think of Faith No More's take on "Ni**as In Paris"? Leave some paw prints below.

A friend of mine pointed out once that Kanye would do an amazing cover of Nine Inch Nails' "Down In It." MAJOR DITTO.

I see a lot of rock-to-rap covers being done, but not many the other way around. What I wouldn't give to hear Kanye's take on "Heart-Shaped Box"...
