empire state of mind.

i have been waiting for this video to be released. I kept searching online and only found the previews which made me hungry for more. This morning I found the video and my heart is smiling.

When the Blueprint 3 album dropped I felt an immediate connection (unlike that of Lil Mama) to the songs on the album, mainly So Ambitious and Empire State of Mind The lyrics come more alive when you live in the big city. You find yourself saying "I know where that is/ I live there/ Thats so true" and so forth. Empire State of Mind is a reminder to me that living in New York is no joke. I came here to pursue my career and that song keeps me focused.

This video is a good portrayal of the city. You have the largest tourist attraction, Times Square, as the focus. I personally like the ideas of having them on the large Tckts steps-it gives a larger feeling which is needed with both artists.

Here is the video. Give me your feedback.
