The duo ran through a few tracks from Watch the Throne , such as 'Otis' and 'Murder to Excellence'.

The pair performed together for nearly 30 minutes, ripping through roughly half of Watch the Throne with renditions of "Otis", "No Church in the Wild", "Murder to Excellence", and, of course, "Niggas in Paris".
