Jay-Z penned this year's NY anthem with "Empire State of Mind" featuring Alicia Keys. The video debuted today, and since it seems to be giving my Yanks good luck, I'll let this one bump 'til we get that ring (yeah, that'll make 27). The Blueprint 3 is in stores now. Video directed by Hype Williams.

Im not feeling the video, didn’t live up to the lyrics.
Alicia is sooo thick! too bad she’s playing on the same side.
Mr.ER first folks say she is on the same side, then she is a homewrecker. Make up your mind.
Yo bananas kind of agree. I knew they would get hype for the shoot, but………..
Shawn get real phillies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go Phils, Love the song
shamz reps for NY but OKP still Philly all day.
OK, at least they did a good video for the one song that actually bumps off of BP3.
i hope there’ll be a vid for “a star is born” as well, to show the world what j.cole is able to to!
good music and good video. I miss the street Jay-Z. He must represent the dirty NY.
Interesting choices. Very simple video for an epic sounding song. All in all, one of Jay’s better videos, but it’s no “99 Problems”
cool song. I think the Phillies are going to take the series. College Grants For Single Mothers
I was waiting for lil’ mama to make a cameo appearance, that would’ve made the video 10x better!!
Video blows
i dont feel jay-z anymore, alicia seems like a sellout.
Jay doesnt do the song justice, he sounded too standard for such a great hook.
a chier mais alors vraiment à chier
Borrrrring
as corny as i first thought it was, this song really grew on me.
Yanks all day… “It’s almost over now” (c) Pharrell
i love this song…i dont think the video fits it though. i mean they’re talking bright lights and what not, why make it black and white?
I like it
nas did “NY state of Mind” and “Streets of NY feat. Alica Keys” years ago
this is biting
