jayz-aliciakeys-empire-state-of-mind-video-shoot-11

Jay-Z and Alicia Keys filmed the music video for their New York ode “Empire State of Mind” in spots around Tribeca and Ground Zero on Wednesday. Hype Williams serves as

Here’s what A. Keys had to say about the track:

“Working together on ‘Empire State of Mind’ was incredible. I’ve admired Jay-Z for a long time. ‘Reasonable Doubt’ is my all-time favorite album, period, and he’s been on the scene for long time. I always figured that we would do some type of collaboration, and finally, it came together with this. He reached out to me and said, ‘I have this big New York record. I feel its right for us to do it together. It has this big Frank Sinatra, take-it-there feeling. I feel like you could really do something with it.’

    Damn-I wonder if the people there-who was supporting Jay-Z if )he got pissed at any of them from talking out loud & being up close to him doing the making of this BULLSH*T as song? Lil Mama would have had a better chance on this scene,than on stage. And to ad this song is NOT THE BEST SONG OUT NOR IS IT, HOTTER THAN ANY OTHER RAP SONG OUT. There is not one thing in this song nor in there PERFORMANCE ON VH1 OR MTV WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT…that would make you even get out your seat)it was lame no action to the song-other than Lil Mama coming on stage & like I said befor-if noone had not said,anything they would have thought she was part of the act. I guess thats why Lil Mama was the only one who was really feeling it & go on stage-because NOONE ELSE WAS INTO THE SONG,it was WACK THEN & ITS WACK NOW…CAN WE PLEASE GET SOME REAL RAPPERS?

    dont be cruel Trisha… the song is nice, the composer however is really a lame dude, but hey just like time people change… money, prestiege, and the whole wide world, means nothing unless u have someone to share it with and when I say someone I dont mean a couple people, but as many who are willing to be truthful and not afraid to admonish u without kissin ur anal.
