Well deserved and rather overdue!

Jay-Z and New York City have a lot to be proud of this week. Jay and his song Empire State of Mind have hit the big time: #1 song on the Billboard Hot 100!!!

Remarkably, this is the first time this has ever happened in Jay-Z's musical career. (He came close with his hit Run This Town, which reached #2 on the charts.)

Congratulations are in order! We're sure Beyonce is proud.

      Re: xoxo_anonymous – i know lol i dont even know why they keep on giving him any attention hes been in this buisness ever since the 90s and hes just getting noticed now …how pathetic ..and i dont even know why people are treating beyonce like shes such a big deal now shes soo boring not even the stage dive made her exciting



    15. 15

      Hey b, wish we could hang out!



    16. 16

      Agreed Jay Z is overrated…the only reason Empire State of Mind is making it is because of Alicia Keyes. Anyone could have done Jay Z's part and better too.



    17. 17

      Congrats but, congrats to Alicia too!



    18. 18

      thats how it should be

      Re: blahblah12 – I Honestly feel like you people are FUCKING RETARDED….Jay-Z was on 20/20 in 2002, all his albums have been #1. His first was a classic…….You "GAGA" & "kanye west" generational fans are forgetting that Jay-Z is HIP HOP. You homos dont even listen to HIP HOP…..and to act like hes only getting noticed now???? PLEASE….. I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT TO SAY EXCEPT YOU HAVE OBVIOUSLY NEVER BEEN TO A JAY-Z CONCERT AND LOOK UP ANY REVIEW ON ONE………THEY ARE FUCKING AMAZING.



    23. 23

      Re: xoxo_anonymous – agree!!



    24. 24

      how did this song get to #1??



    25. 25

      Re: TimLee – what.. i'm before GaGa and Kanye, and i still think he's shit!!



    26. 26

      He looks like an ape



    27. 27

      Re: yehteehee – Yeah because you are probably gay, and have no idea what real hip hop is. Dont comment on someone you know NOTHING about….Jay-Z has more loyal and devoted fans than your favorite artist. Oh and I guess all these people just like him for nothing??? Fucking Idiot



    28. 28

      Re: TimLee – I totally agree with you. I'm talking as a big and proud fan of Jay-Z. It always make me laugh when i read stupid comments from people who don't know a fuck about something, but who want to talk bullshit like xoxo_anonymous and blahblah12. Jay-Z don't need Beyoncé for promoting his career. Just go see reviews and public reception of his obvious albums and then come talk.



    29. 29

      He needs to thank Alicia Keys….



    30. 30

      I think about 90% of it has to do with Alicia Keys. Love her…Jigga is so OVERRATED! Jay-Z needs a hottie to sing on a song with him to reach #1. LOL>

      Re: blahblah12 – haha are you serious? Nobody cared about Jay-Z??? Where have you been the last 15 years? And Beyonce is more talented than many other girls in the charts.they cannot even sing and dance at the same time like her.
