Now Im down in Tribecca right next to Dinero Listen to Empire State of Mind - YouTube video Jay raps about everything from the Yankees to NBA to McDonald's, Biggie and how the big city can cause the downfall of many.Here's the lyrics for the track "Empire State of Mind" featuring Alicia Keys on the boisterous chorus. Many fans feel Jay-Z sounds hungry like the Old School Jigga on this track, and that's for sure. R&B diva Alicia Keys is part of one of the standout tracks on Jay's third Blueprint album, a song paying tribute to the Big Apple, New York City. "Welcome to New York" and "Empire State of Mind" are the best NYC-based singles to come from a place that isn't Broadway, but which one is the unequivocal anthem for our fair city? Let's examine the facts.With Septemcomes the release of Jay-Z's The Blueprint 3, a 17 track rap album featuring guest rappers Kanye West, Kid Cudi, Young Jeezy and singers like Rihanna and Alicia Keys. Who can compete with the likes of Jay Z and Alicia Keys? However, I wouldn't be a very good New Yorker if I allowed us all to split our loyalties as far as anthems are concerned. To be fair to Swift, she wasn't aiming to write a song to knock "Empire State of Mind" off the throne of Best Mainstream Music Anthem to New York City. How does "Welcome to New York" stack up to that? Jay Z's "Empire State of Mind" was released in 2009 and it was an epic tribute to the Big Apple. However, "Welcome to New York" is one of many, many, many odes to New York City that have been written over the years and I couldn't help but compare it to the last one that really took off. That song was called " Welcome to New York" and it was an ode to the city that she had fallen in love with over the past year, one that I still can't listen to without feeling more than a little smug about how awesome my hometown is. Late Monday night, Taylor Swift released yet another song from her upcoming album 1989 for all of her loyal, diehard fans (and curious critics waiting to see what's next in this direction she's taking her music) to enjoy.
