“Empire State of Mind” - The Colbert Version

by E. Christopher Clark | Tuesday, January 12, 2010

I hate New York, but I kinda-sorta love Alicia Keys, I kinda-sorta love that song she does with Jay-Z called “Empire State of Mind,” and I really love Stephen Colbert. So, when my friend Beth shared this video via Facebook, I almost didn’t check it out. But then I did.

And you should, too. Because Alicia belts, Stephen raps (and does it well), and the whole thing is under four minutes long.
