Who Gon Stop Me

"Who Gon Stop Me" is a song by American hip hop recording artists Jay-Z and Kanye West, from their collaborative studio album, Watch the Throne (2011).

[3] In July 2011, Puerto Rican rapper Verse Simmonds said that he started working with his production partner Sham "Sak Pase" Joseph immediately on Watch the Throne after being recruited by Def Jam's artists and repertoire Vice President Bu Thiam.

The duo dedicated a week to recording with influence taken from British electronic dance music for "Who Gon Stop Me" and Simmonds felt that their dubstep work would become "the next new flavor that everybody gotta be on", while maintaining a hip hop feel.

[5] In March 2012, English dubstep producer Flux Pavilion told HipHopDX that he was not able to truly identify the feeling of being recognized outside of his genre, particularly by artists of Jay-Z and West's fame, after the song's sample of "I Can't Stop".

Flux Pavilion saw the recognition as "absolutely magical" after he crafted the beat in his bedroom and questioned if the rappers were aware of this, feeling happiness about "I Can't Stop" as one of his favourite recordings despite doubting just how good it was.

[6] A sample of Pavilion's "I Can't Stop", taken from his EP Lines in Wax and his mix album Circus One with Doctor P, is utilized for the hook and gnarled synths of the song.

[10] Rolling Stone, similar to Spin, also stated that the song was an experimental track that featured a dubstep bass line and that it is flattering to West's vocal talents.
