Empire State Of Mind [Jay-Z + Alicia Keys] (Explicit) by Jay-Z
![Empire State Of Mind [Jay-Z + Alicia Keys] (Explicit): One of the Top Rap Songs](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/512U9jvcvTL._SL160_.jpg "Buy Empire State Of Mind [Jay-Z + Alicia Keys] (Explicit)")
In a review on 2010-01-19 entitled Original and Great Lyrics, “Borrowed” Music, nagaxen wrote, “While I have been a fan of both Jay-Z and Alicia Keys since their respective initial albums and I honestly loved this song the first time I heard it, I was somewhat annoyed by the fact that the overall theme of the song (message, rhythm, harmony, and to some extent even the melody) seems to have been borrowed from another song that came out nearly 2 years before this did:
Malbec - The Visit
If you listen to Malbec’s song and then listen to Jay-Z’s song, you can notice a few similarities:
* The initial beat is the exact same.
* The repetitions of “New York” in both choruses have the same rhythm (Jay-Z’s is slowed down by about half iirc but the ratio is nearly 100% identical) and the actual melody is astonishingly similar.
* Both are shout outs to New York.
Both songs have a great amount of musical energy and the harmonies/melodies leave one with a sense of inspiration but because Jay-Z’s came out 2 years later, it feels as though his and Alicia Keys’ song is nothing more than a simple hip-hop version with some musical rearrangement and new lyrics of an already good song.
If I had never known about the Malbec song, I would have given this 5 stars without a doubt… However, sadly, I’m a little disappointed in two of my favorite artists (especially Alicia Keys) for all of these similarities without even a tip of the hat to Malbec.
I know it’s difficult to come up with any music that’s actually “original” these days but it doesn’t even seem like they were trying this time and these songs are far too similar for this to be a coincidence. It pains me to give this song only 2 stars but I feel it’s the best it deserves given the above issues.” This listener gave Empire State Of Mind [Jay-Z + Alicia Keys] (Explicit) a 2 star rating.
In a review on 2009-12-03 entitled Surprise, surprise., stamps110 wrote, “As a lover of rock, blues, jazz, classical and more, I would never listen to rap let alone buy a song.
When I first heard “Empire State of Mind” with Alicia Keys on the awards show I was deeply moved by the words about New York and Ms. Keys whole hearted, gigantic contribution with her voice to lift Jay Zs text to heights I never imagined existed. “Concrete jungle that’s where dreams are made of, there’s nothing you can do now you’re in New York. These streets will make you feel brand new, these lights will inspire you. Let’s hear it for New York” YES. Congratulations to you both from another born and raised Bronxite.” This listener gave Empire State Of Mind [Jay-Z + Alicia Keys] (Explicit) a 5 star rating.
In a review on 2009-11-12 entitled Even more PROUD to be a ‘New Yorker’, jackb10 wrote, “I am NOT a big fan of ‘rap’, but this one, by Jay-Z caught my ear the first time I heard it. The beat and the chorus gets you going and being a Native New Yorker, I relate to all the ’shout-out’s’. Playing this jam, makes me feel GOOD and PROUD! Another masterpiece, from the Master….Jay-Z!” This listener gave Empire State Of Mind [Jay-Z + Alicia Keys] (Explicit) a 5 star rating.
In a review on 2009-11-08 entitled Nice, mr_pootywinkle wrote, “Very good song. I wouldn’t mind the hook being turned into its own song, very catchy and Jay-Z is consistently good on this track.” This listener gave Empire State Of Mind [Jay-Z + Alicia Keys] (Explicit) a 5 star rating.
On 2009-10-12, this reviewer said: “Just buy it man its only 99 cents and its prob one of the better songs off blueprint 3″ This person named their review No Need for a Review you can already tell this song is Sick. and they gave Empire State Of Mind [Jay-Z + Alicia Keys] (Explicit) a 5 star rating.

Eminem’s part is by far the best, following by Drake, then Kanye, then Lil Wayne. This song is on repeat on my playlist and will be for a long time.
Also, check on Travis Barker’s remix of this song, it’s insane. (youtube)” This person named their review One of the best, if not the best, rap song out there. and they gave Forever [Explicit] a 5 star rating.

Pants On The Ground - EP by General Larry Platt
On 2010-01-30, this reviewer said: “I don’t watch American Idol but I did watch Real Housewives of Atl. This song sounds better and was original.

This honestly was one from American Idol that honestly was better than most of the artists that’ve came out winners from Idol. When I first heard this song from Idol, Pants On The Ground, I was laughing out loud. It really was funny from General Larry Platt. It is a song that is a great song to get down and party out loud with, and honestly is better than any of the songs that recently came out from last year’s contenders, Adam Lambert and Kris Allen. If Larry does continue to have a career in music, I hope he pulls out more outrageous songs like this one.
Song: B-” This listener gave Pants On The Ground - EP a 4 star rating.

Right Round by Flo Rida
In a review on 2009-08-19 entitled Pole Dancing, brian8914 wrote, “Just try and find a better stripper song - he nails it. Just ask Wilk” This listener gave Right Round a 4 star rating.
In a review on 2009-05-14 entitled Rounding Out, kernermichael wrote, “There is no doubt about when a song gets sampled by another artist, most of the time, it feels like it has been a waste on the ears. That has been said for rapper Flo Rida, and his recent song Right Round, which took a sampling on 80’s electronica acts Dead Or Alive’s You Spin Me. I really wasn’t at all impressed with the song from beginning to end. In fact, it felt like to me nothing more than a complete waste of time. He really was not able to deliver heart and soul on the song, but he made the song feel like a piece of junk. I really felt like I was choking on a tuna sandwich. I really would rather recommend hearing Kanye West’s Heartless over this anyday of the week.
Song: F” This listener gave Right Round a 1 star rating.
On 2009-05-04, this reviewer said: “I do like Flo rida and I love the original Of this Song as well
Amazon Is great for finding great new music.. Like TIec Tocc’s New song ‘Frozen” i found on amazon.. It touch my heart and got me thru a very rough time. He is refreshing and I cant stop spreading the word about this new artist TIec TOcc Him And FLorida Colab yeahhh
well thats my opinion” This person named their review Next Round and they gave Right Round a 3 star rating.

![Run This Town [Jay-Z + Rihanna + Kanye West] (Explicit Album Version): One of the Top Rap Songs](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/419dQguHXvL._SL160_.jpg "Buy Run This Town [Jay-Z + Rihanna + Kanye West] (Explicit Album Version)")
On 2009-10-09, this reviewer said: “Wow what an album. I wasn’t a fan in the past until I heard “On To The Next One”. Now I’m hooked and went on to purchase all of his albums.

In a review on 2009-09-03 entitled Running Away, kernermichael wrote, “When it has came down to it, when a collaboration has became a trio, the feeling doesn’t shine as brilliantly as you would hope for. That honestly is the case with Run This Town from Jay-Z, Rihanna and Kanye West. The latest single from Jay-Z’s upcoming album The Blueprint 3. The song is dark, but honestly I don’t feel the chemistry as much with Kanye West in the song, as much as we’ve heard the collaboration between Jay-Z & Rihanna. This also is her first single since the domestic violence spat with the controversial Chris Brown back in February. I give her some credit for stepping out again, but she needs to bring more into her songs to match the mood. Hopefully, for Jay-Z, when his album comes out, he can dominate the #1 spot again, and have a better arrangement of songs.
Song: D” This listener gave Run This Town [Jay-Z + Rihanna + Kanye West] (Explicit Album Version) a 2 star rating.
On 2009-08-25, this reviewer said: “Hot track from The Blueprint 3, Jay-Z’s forthcoming LP. Jay-Z, Rihanna, and Kanye killed on this single.

I also love the fact Amazon doesn’t sell DRM music so I can move the song from my ipod to my work computer or wherever else…. Without any problems unlike Itunes their music is digitaly protected. This track is actually more expensive on itunes $1.99 over there…” This listener gave Run This Town [Jay-Z + Rihanna + Kanye West] (Explicit Album Version) a 5 star rating.
