VIDEO: Jay-Z ft. Alicia Keys- Empire State Of Mind
October 30th, 2009
Finally! First, it was a preview of “Empire State of Mind” hitting the eStreets during the first game of the World Series between the Yankees and The Phillies.
Then it was a performance of “Empire State of Mind” during game two of the World Series. Finally, the Hype Williams directed visual has finally hit the eStreets for our viewing pleasures.
I remember about a month or so prior when pictures and short clips were leaked online of the visual. Since then, everything remained mum about the top secret project.
But I guess since the two of them took over Yankee Stadium last night, it was only right they play the actual video the following day.
The video was pretty much everything I thought it would be. A fresh trip through the five boroughs of NYC. Bird eye views, street level cinema, isolated performance shots in the busiest of places (shutting down Times Square is no easy task).
Well, here’s the third official single from Jay’s, Blueprint 3 opus, “Empire State of Mind. ENJOY!
Sincerely
Low “I shall forever love NYC” Key
