''I Really Did Like the Song'' 1:30PM ET November 9th, 2011 Contributor : Martin James A Rocky Williform Company
Comedic actor Will Ferrell share his reaction to being sampled by Jay-Z and Kanye West on their track "N***as In Paris" on the Watch the Throne album. Ferrell sent an email saying he loved the song and wants to be sampled more in hip hop.
"Kanye reached out to me and I said, 'Of course,' " Ferrell wrote in an e-mail. "I was completely flattered when they asked if they could sample me into the song ... and when I heard it for the first time, I just started to laugh because it felt so surreal. But I really did like the song."
"We were trying to film a piece that they would use on the video boards of their concert, but haven't gotten it together," he wrote. "I think [something from] Step Brothers would be good [to use in a song]," he wrote. "Or the Woody Allen movie I did, Melinda and Melinda."
Somebody should sample A Night At the Roxbury.
