Hip-Hop Island

As the Yankees stand 27 outs away from winning their 27th World Series Championship, the Empire can't help but feel electric right now. Sure, our boys are two hours away on foreign Philly soil feeling absolutely no brotherly love when they take their places on that field tonight, but New Yorkers can feel the success. Here's the new video from Jay-Z and Alicia Keys for "Empire State of Mind" -- precisely released around the World Series. Hey, an anthem's an anthem!

And just for the record... the Philadelphia version doesn't even compare to the original. Couldn't even come up with your own chorus -- Philly, you are NOT a concrete jungle and, sorry, your streets don't make me feel brand new. They make me feel dirty. Very dirty.
