“Empire State of Mind” should really be parenthetically titled “(This is Why the World Hates You, New York; Part 28).”
Seriously, it’s like he’s rubbing our nose in the things that made him self-conscious in “Beach Chair.” This is AOR for the new millennium, and it sucks just as much. Is he trying to undermine the punk as fuck Nasty Nas from 15 years ago? Because it’s not working. It’s making him into Jay Secada. At best.
