 One of Jay's All Time Best September 24, 2009

Ignore the previous review. This is one of Jay's very best songs. A lyrically tight, passionate love song to NYC, with Alicia absolutely nailing the chorus. It's the return of one of the greatest female vocals of all time, with the best rapper alive. What's not to love?
Surprise, surprise. December 3, 2009

As a lover of rock, blues, jazz, classical and more, I would never listen to rap let alone buy a song.
When I first heard "Empire State of Mind" with Alicia Keys on the awards show I was deeply moved by the words about New York and Ms. Keys whole hearted, gigantic contribution with her voice to lift Jay Zs text to heights I never imagined existed. "Concrete jungle that's where dreams are made of, there's nothing you can do now you're in New York. These streets will make you feel brand new, these lights will inspire you. Let's hear it for New York" YES. Congratulations to you both from another born and raised Bronxite.
No Need for a Review you can already tell this song is Sick. October 12, 2009

Very good song. I wouldn't mind the hook being turned into its own song, very catchy and Jay-Z is consistently good on this track.
Even more PROUD to be a 'New Yorker' November 12, 2009

I am NOT a big fan of 'rap', but this one, by Jay-Z caught my ear the first time I heard it. The beat and the chorus gets you going and being a Native New Yorker, I relate to all the 'shout-out's'. Playing this jam, makes me feel GOOD and PROUD! Another masterpiece, from the Master....Jay-Z!
