    Do you think the execs at Fox have listened to the lyrics of Jay Z's "Empire State of Mind" that is supposed to be performed live on Fox before Game 2 of Yankees Phillies?

    As far as the music/performance aspect, I can take it or leave it. I guess what I am getting at is, I can't imagine very many New Yorkers are going to view this as a positive "Opus" about their city. I'm sure Jay Z will tone down some of the lyrics, but in general it seemed kind of depressing.

    I dont see why its not a positive for the city?

    Obviously, he wont say the N word in the song, but the lyrics are fine, imo. Pretty good, actually.

    Everybody ride her, just like a bus route."

    that's one of the hottest joints on airplay right now... i don't see how that is bad for the NY... rappers overly exaggerate lyrics in their rhymes all the time.. the sinatra reference made me chuckle

    WTF (why the eff) do you open a thread with such title? I thought this was going to be about you being a member of an organization named "PIH". :eek:

    THREAD TITLE FAIL. :mad:
