The long awaited video with Jay-Z and Alicia Keys for Empire State of Mind is finally here. The initial buzz began when the video crew began shooting in Harlem on 145th and Broadway weeks ago. There were celebrity sightings and some of our Twitter followers even stopped by to give us an on the scene play by play. [Follow Us @AroundHarlem]
I was definitely looking forward to the video. Alicia Keys’ lyrics below sum up everything that I’ve always said about New York. I joke that if I hadn’t been born here, I’d ...
Why Is the "Empire State of Mind" Video So Boring?
L Mag —
The Hype Williams-directed video for Jay-Z's "New York, New York" (a.k.a. "Empire State of Mind" with Alicia Keys) dropped on Friday, and it's really very disappointing. It's plenty pretty, obviously, but without any semblance of a narrative and, from the looks of things, a lot of stock photographs used to fill in the gaps, it actually manages to make a pretty great song insufferably boring. There are no crazy cameos like "D.O.A. (Death of Autotune)", or retro-futuristic riots like in "Run This Town", instead there's a lot of Times Square, the Financial District and touristy helicopter shots of Midtown. It ...
A New York Yankees State of Mind
Walking Off the Big Apple —
Hundreds of thousands of New York Yankees fans in the city got the chance to applaud their hometown World Series heroes for the parade and ceremony in lower Manhattan on Friday, November 6, celebrating along the Canyon of Heroes on Broadway and on the nearby streets under a sunny sky. Like many others I arrived too late to see any of the parade, but I did get to enjoy the moment with the crowds gathered in the chilly autumn weather. The diverse fans arrived from all the boroughs and from places even farther away, but they all shared today's required uniform of navy blue and pinstripes. Many grew frustrated when they couldn't see anything at all and turned around to go home, while the ...
Important Questions: Is Jay-Z's "Empire State of Mind" the new "New York, New York"? [Anthems]
Gawker —
There's an entire Sunday Styles item on Jay-Z's nu- New York anthem, which has now been performed at the VMAs , the World Series , City Hall , your son's bris, and everywhere else. Should Hova step off, or should Sinatra step over? Penned by one Mr. Ben Sisario whose writing is typically quite wonderful the song is broken down as such: ...roughly 50 percent rote Jay-Z chest-beating ("I'm the new Sinatra"), 30 percent tourist-friendly travelogue ("Statue of Liberty, long live the World Trade") and the rest a glorious Alicia Keys hook. Which is true! Jay-Z goes from the Bronx to Tribeca and back; most people who live in the West Village like Jay-Z ...
New York: Where “Underutilization” Equals “Blight”
The Volokh Conspiracy —
Jay-Z and Alicia Keys sing “there’s nothing you can’t do” in New York. That may be true for Hova, but it’s not supposed to be true when it comes to eminent domain under New York law. A purported “public purpose” is insufficient to seize private property for economic development. So government authorities resort to “blight” designations to condemn private property they would like to redevelop. This is the strategy being used for the Atlantic Yards Arena and Redevelopment Project in Brooklyn. Yet as Nicole Gelinas reports, the blight designation here is a bit of a stretch, as it relies upon the condition of the Metropolitan Transit Authority’s railyards, ...
