When I first heard Empire State of Mind I didn’t realize how powerful it was. Jay Z really brings out the best and worst of New York. I completely agree with you, he sounds proud of his city and everything that’s in it, good or bad. Through his songs, one can really tell he’s passionate about what he is doing and his birthplace.
