With "Empire State Of Mind" Jay-Z's cast himself as the Jeter generation's Billy Joel. His NYC's all about pills ("MDMA got you feeling like a champion, the city never sleeps, better slip you an Ambien") and his song might pack a cringey Alicia Keys hook, unless "bright lights will inspire you" will inspire you, but having Jigga open Game 2 of the World Series with this Blueprint 3 track seemed to go over well with the fans (and judging by some faces, even the Phils). There's some interesting crowd noise when he gets to "I made the Yankees hat more famous than a Yankee can," but you might have to give him that. Jay-Z rapped it live (check the echoes), Alicia sang it to a backing track (check the not-echoes), and the Yankees won by scoring three points -- one for each Blueprint!

Pharrell produced “It’s On Again,” the new Alicia Keys inspirational-disco number from the soundtrack to The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and Kendrick Lamar starts it out with a shouty verse, which means the song might have a stronger cast of talent than the movie itself. In the new video for the track, those three, along ...

The soundtracks of the last four blockbuster Spider-Man movies have a spotty history, and Alicia Keys doesn’t exactly have a great record of making good songs for big movies. And yet everything comes together nicely for “It’s On Again,” the new song that Keys contributed to the forthcoming The Amazing Spid...
