i’m from london and heard the jay-z album before all the hype. i agree with dude above me- the song caught my attention straight away and i had it on repeat for days. its not just the lyrics that remind me of being on holiday but also the choice of sample and the overall production-its a banger which puts you in a good mood…and alicia sounds great as usual

This song is amazing!!
I remember when I first listened to the album I knew it’d be a winner!
Didn’t think it would become a single!

Alicia Keys makes this song!! Sorry Jay haha

The Song is Simply GOOD. It’s a matter of what u musically like. I love this song and I understand that not everyone will like it.

Being from a big city myself, CHICAGO, I mos definitely love the song! Its all about paying homage to a place that has excelled the careers of so many entertainment greats!! But i do agree, you would probably have to be from a big city or NYC to really get into it.

Fatima, u hit the nail right on the head! Sam has tacky tastes in music. He also isn’t from the US nor does he live here, so he doesn’t understand the message. The song is amazing…very old school Sinatra type inspired hip hop.

I like it and I’ve never been to New York. I guess you can substitute ‘New York’ with your state/city and feel proud.

Beyonce did not push Lil Papa on stage. He was trying to pull her up but she declined.

Whatever happened to having your own opinion? Though I may not always see eye to eye with Sam on certain posts, if they don’t like they song, they don’t like it. It doesn’t mean that they’ve got bad taste in music, it’s just something they don’t get the hype about. I personally don’t get the hype either. There’s plenty of better tracks on BP3 that I personally think blows that song out of the water. But when you’re a NYCer, you havve a different approach to it just like people from ATL love them some Outkast or people from the Bay get hype for Too Short.

This song is so popular in the UK right now. It is crazy–it got to number 2 just on airplay/downloads. There are better tracks on the album too, but whatever.

You have to be from NYC to understand or at least visited NYC..
