Music Thread #1 For 10/26/09: The Empire State Of New York Indoctrination Continues

Philadelphia Phillies fans better tell The Roots, Eve, or Beanie Sigel to make a version of a "Brotherly Love" song or something:

Rapper Jay-Z and Alicia Keys will perform their hit song “Empire State of Mind” this Wednesday (October 28) when the New York Yankees take on the Philadelphia Phillies during the World Series.

The New Yorkers will perform the track at Yankee Stadium for Game 1 of the World Series verse the Philadelphia Phillies.

And his reaction to all of this:

The rapper called the upcoming performance a “once in a lifetime” opportunity and “thanked the lord” for making him a “Yankee.” New York defeated the Los Angeles Angels 5-2 in Game 6 of the American League Championship series last night (October 25).

I wished someone asked if a third person would join them.....

.....But I don't think that will be the case.
