Video: Alicia Keys Debuts “Empire State Of Mind II”
GENERAL By Contra™ on November 18, 2009 at 8:26 pmThere’s something about that damn city. While watching the above clip of my wife debuting part two of “Empire State Of Mind” last night during a live performance in Tribeca, I began to reflect on what made New York so great to so many.
After much reflection (about 12 seconds), it dawned on me that unlike many cities NY spins well. New Yorkers are a proud people. Proud of damn near everything. Big, small, good bad, name it. If it’s New York, it’s sacred. So much so that we’ll one-up you on your flaws for no reason at all. “You call that a robbery? In Brooklyn, they’d rob you, strip you, and rape your pet, son.”
You know how the rest of that line goes.
Alicia’s Elements… will be in stores on 12.13.

I like to look at alicia keys but thats about it. Her music is slow and depressing and she sounds like a hood rat when she speaks.
I hate to say it but
Part 2 > Part 1,
Especially when Jay drops his verse on it
Sounds good. Waiting for Jay verse.
12.13 is a Sunday…..My born day..that’s how I know!!!
I see her acne problem is back…
i just need me another fine pic of ms. keyz n i be ok
dgaf bout the acne.. some people get it genetically lol
I like her version as well as Jay’s. Sounds like poetry.
Have to ask … where is that “You call that a robbery” line from?
has anyone got the MP3 for the yet???
Impressive.
I like Like but Mashonda Thinks it’s lame
Think the studio version will be produced by Just Blaze. Saw it on his ustream. Heard him working on something with alicia vocals and said about empire state of mind.
Hating won’t take the bad away! I love you Alicia!
Alicia shows once again its the singer not the song that gives it life, the depths of soul and passion she sings with bring the listener inside the song itself!
