Check out the OFFICIAL VIDEO for 'Empire State of Mind' Jay-Z Alicia Keys Visit for all Jay-Z News and Updates. It was much fun to see Brady hurl around the football against the New York Giants with a song on New York complementing it. The background music was ‘Empire State of Mind’ by Jay-Z feat.

On a smaller, personal scale, this song reminds me of the late DJ Mehdi, who was never better than when playing these 'full on', block-party oriented hip-hop and funk sets, with a huge smile, booty-shake and hand-clapping, and would never fail in including "Empire State Of Mind" (in the last 2 years that is).Necessary cookies are absolutely essential for the website to function properly. And who cares the songs sounds like the very definition of OTT, who cares Jay-Z sounds like a pacha barely catching his own flow because as with all good (hip-) pop songs, magic is still here.

This song, an instant classic rivalling Sinatra's "New York, New York" as a triumphant soundtrack for one of the world's most imperial cities of its times, is "Empire State Of Mind", and will be played on radios and at weddings for the generations to come. A song that would have any listener actually feel like he's a mdma-fuelled SUV driven diamonded-hoes-surrounded self-satisfied self-centered overpowered superstar billionaire cruising the streets of New-York (symbol here!) with the city at his feet, yet totally in love with it (a non new-yorker couldn't have made this song). It was all about showing-off, and developping even further musically an inner feeling of supremacy, overpower, omniscience, both to conjure inexorable decline, and show the demanding masses you were part of the few, dominant, superrich chosen ones. 'Popaganda', somehow.Īrtistically it was most of the time dreadful and fast sleep-indulging, but then, among a very few others (including certain Timbaland x Nelly Furtado songs imo) came a song which was the epitome of that 00s myth, yet transcending it to actually sound like the real thing, its credible official soundtrack. With a context of war, back-to-basics and economic recession, the years 00 were paradoxically in US and occidental mainstream pop the climax of celebrating blingish supersuccess, 'winner attitude', simplified/childish 'cool' (or rather : signs of it), and somehow dissing nuance, subtlety, humor and culture as excuses for the weak and loser.
