New York Story
My friend Mike always keeps me well informed when it comes to the rap scene, and recently has been no exception. He tipped me off to Drake’s “Forever” video with Lebron James and a Freestyle Cypher with Mos Def, Black Thought and Eminem.
But the one that really “hits home” is Jay-Z’s “Empire State of Mind” (embedded below). Great storytelling, which, as this post from Desedo shows, has the potential to be even richer and more interactive. (Especially if we can select Alicia Keys as the GPS navigator’s voice.)

Fucking love this track. The chorus was blaring when I first walked out on the rooftop of the Hotel Rivington when I was there a few months ago. Felt like I was in an episode of Entourage of something. Brilliant.
