New York's definitely in an Empire State of Mind. From the five boroughs to Yonkers to the Mayor's office, Yankees fans stormed downtown Manhattan and took over City Hall for a celebration of heroes. It's been nine years since this city has experiences a Yankee World Series win and it sure feels great. Hov, of course, joined in on the festivities sharing a float with A-Rod (or was A-Rod sharing Jigga's float?), and performing "Empire State of Mind" with fellow Brooklynite Burdgett Kelly.
Take note this is how kick off a game! New York's finest femcee, DIVA Mary J. Blige performs the National Anthem to open World Series Game 6 Yankee vs. Phillies. Still waiting for a game winner, but this moment was sweet! Yankees WIN even sweeter!
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.
Jay and Alicia couldn't kick off the World Series with New York's anthem, but they got it together and just right for Game 2. Welcome to the concrete jungles, bitches... Jay made the Yankees cap more famous than the Yankees can... Ahh, that's right, kids! SING IT!
