Jay-Z & Alicia Keys Record “Empire State Of Mind Pt. 2″

[Elano]

    Jay-Z and Alicia Keys couldn’t contain their enthusiasm for New York to one song, so the pair have decided to team up again for a sequel to their hometown anthem. Keys will include “Empire State of Mind Part 2″ on December’s The Element of Freedom. The sequel will feature a new verse from Jay, a rep from Keys confirmed to MTV News.

    The first version of the song was featured on Jay’s Blueprint 3 album, and the duo performed the track at the Video Music Awards and before game two of the World Series.

    The Hype Williams-directed video for “Empire State of Mind” debuted Friday, and Keys described it as a masterpiece. “The way it’s put together, it is so New York. You totally get it and understand it. It’s artistic. It’s hard. It’s beautiful. It’s, like, everything,” she said. “And definitely getting to be in the middle of Times Square on my piano [with] Jay, representing our home city, is a triumph. It was unbelievable.”

It's funny yall suggest that when the 1st thing I thought when I seen this track was Nas' NY State Of Mind. Like others you got Coming Of Age and NY State Of Mind, they all got sequels so I say why not lol. Great song though, very catchy.

Certified banger.

[OchoCinco]

how bout someone other then jay raps. then it would excite me.

[Meho]

Jay killed it, especially from a songwriting perspective. Other than Nas, I don't see anybody from NY doing a better job (we're talking about mainstream orientated rappers of course)

[Chamillitary Click]

this is my fuckin' anthem!

probably the second biggest anthem for NY besides Sinatra's.

[Al Bundy]

i like the beat and alicia kills the hook but i'm not feelin jiggas raps

[Blood$]

song is getting kinda overplayed, at least where I'm at

if Nas is on the sequel well now that's a different story 

[Chamillitary Click]

i don't know about Nas.

he comes off as that grimey guy from the streets of NY, when this song is all like NY is the best & cheerful.

i think the Nas feature could be a hit or miss, his name & legacy are all you guys are hyping.
