Mikey: Here’s a HQ video of Alicia Keys performing “Empire State of Mind II” in NYC last night. The hook doesn’t change so much, but A.Keys really breathes new life into the NY Anthem. (props to Illionaire/UHTN & Goodfella Radio)

No one’s hating on Jay… I said that because here in NYC we hear “Empire State” 24/7 on the radio, 5 times in 1 night at the club, during pro. sports games, people sing it in the subway… I even think I heard it in church last Sunday. So it was refreshing to hear Alicia flip it.

any literate person reading what you wrote wouldn’t have confused it. Its either that this person don’t “understand words so good” or they are trying to create something out of nothing.

Alicia Keys is the truth! A true musician that honors her craft.
She brings “Empire State of Mind” to life in both part 1 and 2.
I appreciate her as an artist, singer, songwriter, composer and producer.
I definitely pre-order, “The Element of Freedom”.

FYI i am in NYC and I which hear it 24/7 also which is not a bad especially since we haven’t had an NY Anthem that has gone global in years…so when you say “breathes new life” that is a negative statement you didn’t say she flip it which would have been a better statement. I just wanted to be clear that I understand you and MISSINFO are JAY-Z haters….you still have not posted about Empire State hitting number 1 on billboard today which is Jay-Z first number single which is crazy being that he has 11 # Albums in a row….Stop the hater….please.

Meh. This is decent but the hook + production on the original’s ridiculous (still gives me chills). Jay’s lyrics and flow don’t fit that song at all. This definitely should’ve been her song. Matta fact, I only listen to the instrumental with the hook: http://sharebee.com/033c77c7.
Call it hate if you want. I’m only saying what a lot of people are thinking but are afraid to say.
