Alicia Keys Discusses “Empire State of Mind” and World Series

Sandra Rose November 4, 2009

Alicia Keys discusses her World Series live performance of “Empire State of Mind” with Jay Z. Can someone explain to me what the big deal is with this lame track? Do you have to be a New Yorker to understand the hype?

Snoop is doing a re-mix to that track – I wonder what it will be like?

I’m from NY, I feel the track, but it ain’t allathat… it kinda loses it’s flair after you’ve heard it about 2-3 times.

MOVING ON!

Oh as for the Hype… that dude that wears the pillowcase on his head – SWAY is his name. He said that that night at the MTV awards was really strange…he said the atmosphere was weird, and compared it to one of Mariannes (True Blood) parties – LOL! And it was worse when Jay came out!

Jay Z AKA Bophet had everyone mesmerized!
Certified

It’s a New York thing…my Babe is a New Yorker and she LOVES this song:)
Kat

I’m not from NY but I love that song. Ya’ll are really some Jay Z ‘s on here. Wow!

@ iscream’s freestyle! Funny!

ELove

DID anybody say they hated the song because of Jay-Z ???

Cosign “I Empire State of Mind ever since I saw the MTV performance (minus Lil Mama though)”

I lived in NYC as a college student at and alot of what he is saying speaks to what I went through and saw friends going through.

@kat – People don’t want to see beyond the Jesus line and that’s cool. Its a great song – I am from Jers and can appreciate it!
iyonah

Salaams @ RTB and I :cosgin: that minus the B’s though
whatdoesitmatter

I’m a New Yorker and couldn’t give two cents about that song. Who cares???? I can’t think of one new song I’m crazy about right now.

The song is FIYAH and I am not from NY!

Daisy

My fav song out now is Have a baby by me Fiddy and Neyo thats my JAM!!!!
Candi Apple

I’m from NY and don’t like the song.

I understand the energy. It’s hard living here the hustle and everything is constantly moving. There is always something to “get into”. There is always a way to make money. And there are more straight men than Atlanta offers since we want to diss cities.
iyonah

LOl @ CandiApple but that is true, from what I heard 88% of ATL men are How U Doing?

Well being a hooker is an option however not Necessary.
