Empire State Of Mind.

By Jay-Z featuring Alicia Keys. Directed by Hype Williams.

I'm posting this mainly because I like the song a lot. Long before it became a single I felt it was the best song from Blueprint 3. This video is really just okay, in my opinion. It doesn't look as triumphant and resounding the way the song sounds. The black and white aspect is okay, but its over used, and the portraits weren't that striking. I think color portraits would have caputured the life of the city better. And it didn't seem to have that Hype flair to it. Just seems flat. As always, I'll stop there... dope song though.

Hey, everyones a critic I guess. Just my two cents.

Body Of Work.

Jay-z has teamed up with Rhapsody Music for promo towards Jay's 11th studio album, The Blueprint 3. You can actually listen to the entire album from their site. Dope concept...

...I'm pretty far along into the album, and all I can really say is it has its moments.

Yo, remember when Rhapsody was a peer to peer download site like Napster, Limewire, Piolet, and all those joints? I actually thought Rhapsody was one of the better ones.
