It’s been over a year since Jay-Z and Kanye West released Watch the Throne, but tracks from the album are still going strong.
“Niggas in Paris,” one of the most popular tracks from the album, hit the triple platinum mark with digital sales eclipsing the 3 million units sold, reports HHNM.
The awards didn’t stop there, however, as the duo scored a gold plaque for “No Church in the Wild,” the album’s opening track. “No Church in the Wild” has been prominently featured in advertisements for cars, movies, and other products since Watch the Throne‘s release. The song features Frank Ocean.
“Niggas in Paris” became a fixture in Hov and Yeezy’s concerts, leading the duo to perform it as much as eleven times during their live shows.

Illuminati faggots.
Illuminati is a made up excuse invented by broke as niggas for why they still broke and ain’t made it big.
^complete ether
I thought ‘Otis’ was better…
BANG EM SMURF..coming soon 02-01-2013..”THE ABORTION”…..2005
Them old heads had to do about 200 promo shows and spend millions in marketing dollars, just for a single to sell 3 million…lol
them old heads aren’t sitting behind a computer reading articles written about you….. just saying
Meanwhile while the “young heads” ain’t sellin’ shit!! (#no units) I wonder why? Hmmmm?
Go off yourself you pink candy wearing pussy fu#$in’ fa@#ot.
lol you do have a point there. them cats worked real hard for that plaque.
them old heads put that work in of course they moved units you young heads drop 30 singles before the album is released and a week later its all crickets
them young cats drop 5 singles that all go at least gold and they don’t have to spend all those millions in marketing dollars that jay z had to spend.
^ yes man. real talk!
3m in sales and a worldwide tour that they get PAID FOR DOING means they SPENT MONEY? I’ve heard “No Church In The Wild” more on commercials than radio (Budden killed that beat BTW). What kind of stupidity are you people willing to spread just for the sake of getting attention?

Of course it did this is POP HOP…
STILMATIC is the album which beats HIP HOP IS DEAD…*tears
we suck jayz kanye west
gggg-string
jay-z move units because he not in your face allday and dropping mixtapes every other month
Jay doesn’t have any mixtapes.
The biggest question is: why didn’t they ever make a proper video for NIP? Would’ve helped the sales immensely.
fuck it, still went triple plat with no video
there is a video
that’s the point, it blew up internationally with no video
and yes there is a video, they only did the live version cause the track was overplayed by that point
There is a video, perhaps a live version to give the people what impression it has on the masses isn’t good enough for you.
overrated song
This got to be a lie.
Or it’s the life you are living that is a lie.
^ No, this shit is a lie.
You’re both gay and meaningless
Perfect picture for such article, Hov and Ye still winning.
Beanie Sigel > Jay-Z & KKKanye
Like someone below said Jay & ye will always do numbers because they know how to build anticipation, while most rappers are dropping a freestyle every other day, mixtape every month, the most you will see from Jay is a scene stealing guest verse & even those are rare also they put out quality albums
so they split the money or wat?
They should team up with lady gaga for the next album!
that whole ep did damage!
2 great artists!
