Jay-Z Alicia Keys World Series Yankee Stadium Video 10-29-09 Empire State of Mind Live Performance

2009 MTV Video Music Awards - Show

Here is the Jay-Z Alicia Keys World Series Yankee Stadium video of the Oct. 29, 2009 Empire State of Mind performance live at Game 2 of the series. The single is from the superstar Grammy Award winning rapper’s 11th studio album Blueprint 3.

The performance originally was scheduled for the Game 1 opening of the series on Oct. 28, but was postponed.

In a recent interview with MTV News, Grammy Award winning R&B singer-songwriter musician Alicia Keys talked about her collaboration on the hit single.

“There was a first phone call, and Jay hit me up like, ‘I feel like I have this record that’s going to be the anthem of New York.’ He’s like, ‘The piano, the way the style [is], the whole flow, and it couldn’t be the anthem of New York without you.’ Obviously, I’m very grateful to him for reaching out to me and for that type of ability to represent my hometown, like, that was crazy. So we went to the studio. I went to the studio, and … I fell in love from the jump.”
