The wait is finally over. After performing Empire State of Mind at the Yankee’s game the other night, it’s only fitting that they would drop the video the next day.
Pop it for New York’s Anthem
Peep at the end how Alicia Keys was got in her Lil Mama stance!!! We also have pics from A. Keys new video shoot for Trying to Sleep with a Broken Heart.

Beyonce is only playing with Jay-Z!
10/31/09, 11:28:am
Actually Beyone is copying Jays shout-out things that he does at the end of his concerts.
Beyonce is such a liar and fake person. next

They both look nice in the video, I think it represents the city well. I believe this will be Jay-Z’s first #1 song. I’m sure all the Jay haters and Beyonce fans will somehow give his marriage to her credit for him performing at the World Series, but like his musice or not, the man has made some exellent business moves that have raised his profile all over the globe.(Co-ownership of the Nets, the Grey album that Danger Mouse did, his mash-up song with Linkin Park, performing at a rock festival in England, the HP commerical are a few examples) We can debate if marrying Beyonce was a business move, but nonetheless, Jay is a business, man…..

Nice song, love NY, but I’m in a Philly state of mind right now. Philly for the repeat. Let’s 1 up them again tonight.
Anyway I thought this video was all ready out. Alicia is looking and acting kinda ghetto.

This video is nothing new. it’s almost like a slideshow, like i could have made it. It’s decent but you would expect more for such a great song.

well alicia’s singing is superb as always.. i know that..
but there’s nothing new on this video i mean yeah it show more of ny but its just like one of those hip hop r&b video thing…
and the song ain’t no different too…
i never liked Jay-z, specially when he and beyonce defended kanye’s display of attitude on the vma’s..
if it wasn’t for alicia i wouldn’t waste my time listening to this track..

This is a great track! And it definitely big-ups NYC but do certain parts of the song remind you of a section from the old-school jam “Love On A Two Way Street” by The Moments?
