blog six / empire state of mind

"...shit, I made the yankee hat more famous than a yankee can..."
- jay-z / "empire state of mind"

yeah, its my current favourite song.

maybe, its because the first time I heard it was before game 2 of this year's world series.
in new yankee stadium.
before my beloved yankees beat the phillies on their way to their 27th world series title.
because jay-z rocked full yankees gear [unlike other artists at big game events wearing neutral colors, being political and not taking sides] ... no, not jay. yankee hat. yankee bomber jacket. nice.
because alicia keyes sounds good singing the hook. [unlike rihanna's annoying vocals on "run this town"]
because derek jeter was bopping his head to the track.
and joba chamberlin, too.
because its a really, really good song.
because jay-z writes smart. sharp.
and because jay-z rocks.

I love LA. but I heart NY.
