Jay-Z and Alicia Keys performed "Empire State of Mind" last night at Game 2 of the World Series. I love the Bronx (I grew up there), I love the Bronx Bombers (of course!), I love Jay-Z and I love the song "Empire State of Mind". The choice of performer was clear cut. The song is on top of the charts and Jay-Z Jay-Z has always repped for the Yankees. He has worn his Yankee fitted for as long as I can remember and is arguably one of their biggest fans. So, I eagerly tuned in to witness history in the making. I was not disappointed - Jay-Z and Alicia Keys ripped it. And, to really top off my night the Yankees won!!! God is good....
