MSG.Com To Hold Vote Off Between Jay-Z & Frank Sinatra For Unofficial NYC Anthem
November 25th, 2009
Has Jay-Z become NYC’s leading man? I remember when I first played Jay’s “Empire State of Mind” back in August and that first guitar lick which laid directly under a solid kick drum automatically separated itself from the rest of the material on “Blueprint 3.” Al Shux, the track’s producer, knew exactly what he was doing.
Well fast forward to November 25, the track hand delivered Hov his first #1 single on Billboard’ Hot 100, it possessed Lil Mama’s irrelevant ass to hop onstage during Hov and A.Keys’ monumental performance at the VMA’s in September, became the official N.Y. Yankees World Series anthem and has everyone from Australia to the Bronx praising the Big Apple.
With that said, MSG.com is letting the people decide whether or not “Empire State of Mind” deserves the accolades of “Unofficial Anthem” status for the city of New York. On December 4th (Hova’s date of birth), MSG will air Jay’s “Answer The Call” concert from September at 10:30pm and then follow up with Frank Sinatra’s, “Frank Sinatra: The Main Event” concert from October 1974.
After the concerts, you can head over to MSG.com to vote if you think Jay’s, “Empire State of Mind” should replace Sinatra’s, “New York, New York” as the Big Apple’s unofficial anthem. King of New York, 50? Riiiiiiiiiiiight. But hey, I still like your aggressive content. *Jay-Z Laugh* Hahhahahahahaha.
THOUGHTS????

LETS NOT KID OURSELVES……NO ONE IS SINATRA.. HE’S IN A CLASS BY HIMSELF. NO DISREPECT, BUT, THE TRUTH IS THE TRUTH!!!!
How is this even a question, Frankie Rules
How is this even a question, Frankie Rules, let us stop the nonsense and get on with it
Generational gap or not, Frank will never be duplicated. He is once in a lifetime deal. Lucky for us, we were here to appreciate it live.
First of all the only ONE babblin is your non-spelling “A”. JAY-Z IS AN AMAZING RAPPER. A GENIUS AT HIS CRAFT. UNDISPUTEDLY THE KING OF NYC. THE SONG IS SMOKIN”. HE IS PROVEN TO BE THE HEAVY WEIGHT CHAMPION OF RAP. NO NEED TO PROVE IT ANYMORE. AWARDS, RECORD SALES, SOLD OUT CONCERTS. OH, DID ANYONE EVER SHUT DOWN THE CITY WHEN YOU CAME TO TOWN. LOL. NO DISRESPECT TO FRANK BUT THERES A NEW ANTHEM. GET YOUR “D’ HANDS UP!!!!
*JAY Z ES EL MEJOR Y CREO Q VALE LA PENA DECIR Q NADIE SE COMPARA CON EL, EL ES LA GRAN HISTORIA Y DEFINITIVAMENTE EL MEJOR RAPEADOR DEL MUNDO, Q !! VIVA JAY Z !! MEN!!
This is not a classic….never will be!
Sinatra against Jay-z, in any contest, Sinatra would be the winner. Listen to the songs, people. Wake-up!
Frank Sinatra hands down. No one will ever sing like that again.
Frank Sinatra is the Chairman of the Board . Frank is the winner.
i think nas “ny state of mind” is betta den both of these nas showed da grimey nyc da real nyc not dat POP BS
NAS????????????????????????????????????? HA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.
To each it’s own. But its kinda hard to be the king of rap when you only got ONE MIKE TO START WITH! And this is not about a generation gap. Nobody seem to feel that way when that non singing country tayler swift won against another Icon Michael Jackson. NOBODY even knew who she was before kanye west incident. Frank sinatra is an icon to alot of people and his song is classic. If she is good enough to go against Michael, then a proven mega star such as JAY-Z IS DEFINITELY GOOD ENOUGH.
Theres a hatter in every bunch Jay so don’t trip.Frank was coo in his time, but like obama said “Change” and that’s what is needed. Now I’m not from N.Y but do yal thang.To Jay Z and Keys great colabo.
I think jay-z song empire state of mind feat ms.keys is the movement for N.Y.C.
new york allday everyday’…………
Jay Z is the absolute essence of Hip Hop and what all artist truly inspire to be. He is the greatest rapper ever and Im not sure that we will ever see another like him. I will forever be a Jay Z fan……and as Hov said himself….”What More Can I Say”
Jay Z will be the first rap artist to carry a Hip Hop career just like the Bruce Springsteins, Neil Diamonds, Billy Joels and more. He will be 50 years old still relevant and selling out concerts around the world. As his royalness would say…..Im at the Trumph Inyernational ask for me!
SINATRA,SINATRA,SINATRA 4EVER AND WITH CLASS,WE COULD PLAY JAY’S SONG WHEN WE LOSS.
You have got to be kidding?
Ol’ Blue eyes rules forvever!
No contest…..
Francis Albert has everyone beats hands down!
New York, New York….
There is no contest….. Sinatra is timeless ! New York, New York wil ALWAYS be the City’s Anthem !!!!! Don’t even think about changing it !!!!!!
I ALSO LIKE BILLY JOEL’S “NY STATE OF MINE”, HOWEVER, I HAVE TO GO WITH “THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD”…MR.SINATRA
