I think reaching it own goal being that of inspiration. I think the two conflict are very important to the audience as it is portraying what the song is about which is to be that of inspiration, to which the target auidience no the basic backgroung of performer jay-z being a black male from Brooklyn one of the most poverty stricken places in new York with shooting crime rates he defied sterotypes becoming one the most succesfull hip hop artist of all time worth £450 million all done legit. The song released at the end of 2009 became very popular which some may interpret to be an tribute song from its new York born performers to which it also happened to become some what anthemicThrough anaylisis of the music video i was able to make quite a few effevtive analsis between the lyrics and visuals to which i will explain what i personally think make them so affective and influencal With the song basically being about the home city of both artists it majorly consists of both artist bigging up this famous city of new York to which onw of the first and main referecnce and analytical way this is illustrated is where jay-z says “I'm the new Sinatra, and since I made it here ,I can make it anywhere” to which the visuals are backed collages by images and a statue which fade into each other, I think this analysis was very important and referential because not only isit giving and indication of jay-z influence what makes this so significant is that rockafeller was the first at one point until his death the worlds richest man the first to become worth billions, the significanceof the images is that jay-z’s self built empire which is also named Roca-A-fella including his label ,clothes wear etc,which all together with the lyrics referring to a the iconic musican frank Sinatra a fellow though deceased new Yorker a landmark image of musical success and influence ,and the images referring to what can be interpreted the very successful rockerfella. And the song is particularly succesfull and renound for it anthemic influence on the obvious New York home of the empire state2The song empire state is named after the pinnacle and world famous landmark sky scaper building which so happens to be the tallest building in new York.

And is directed by the very famous director hype William who is very highly praised in the music industry for his very high quality work especially in the rap,R&b genre videosThe genre of this song doesn’t particularly belong to a one genre,but it’s main being hip hop obviously performed by jay-z, with its R&b vibe belonging to the performansce by Alicia, but it also has an eletro pop beat which i think is mostly down to the beat. Textual analysis of music videos: jay-z and Alicia keys-empire stateThe video that i am analysisng is the empire state performed by both rapper jay-z and singer Alicia keys.
