Jay-Z takes a page out of Kanye West's book for the "OTR II" tour.

Prior to cancelling the "Saint Pablo" tour, Kanye West shifted the way stage set up are during his floating stage concept. It was the first time anyone has seen something that innovative for a stage show. It was not only spaciously sensible but it also resulted in being the ultimate selfie experience for anyone in attendance. However, it looks like Jay-Z may have taken a page out Kanye's book on his latest tour.

Jay-Z is currently on tour with his wifey, Queen Bey, for their co-headlining, "On The Run II" tour. The concert has been making headlines due to the fact that Jay-Z and Beyonce shared rare photos on their twins. However, what might be more interesting is the fact that they're performing on a floating stage during the night. Footage surfaced earlier today of Jay-Z performing Watch The Throne stand-out cut, "N*ggas In Paris" while on the floating stage. As you could probably expect, the crowd went wild for the performance. There was also more footage that surfaced of Jay-Z and Beyonce performing together on the floating platform.

If you've been wanting to check out Jay-Z and Beyonce's "On The Run II" tour but aren't willing to cough up the cash for it, there might be a solution for you. Beyonce recently teamed up with two charities, The Prince's Trust and Global Citizen, for a new initiative that give fans a chance at landing tickets for the U.K. and European dates for the tour. Fans who choose to volunteer will get the chance to win free tickets for the show.
