Jay-Z featuring Alicia Keys - Empire State of Mind

Taken from Empire State of Mind, this shot of Jay Z rapping while overlooking the Empire State Building realy epitimizes the meaning of the song. To simply say, New York is the greatest city in the world.

​

In an all black and white video, Jay-Z is seen pictured around the city in various places, however, this one stands out the most to me as it shows the raw natural relationship between Jay-Z and his city. There are also biblical lyrics in this so this could relate to his religion and relationship with god.
