Absolutely awesome track! Great live, even better in full production, whether blasting out at a BBQ or with the roof down - it's all good. The marriage of the hard lyric, thumping beat and Alicia's soaring voice is sublime!

The anthem for 2010, makes me wish I was back in New York. Gets better with every listen.

Jay Z is now a heavyweight megastar of intergalactic proportions. I'm a fan of this huge talent. I love this record.
When I went looking for "the old Jay Z" - just too much nihilistic gangsta profanity nonsense. I'm glad Jay Z is more accessible and mainstream. Awesome.

Best rap/crossover track of the year, as Jay-Z and Alicia Keys take us on a lyrical journey around their home state - and yes, at times it becomes a bit of a shout-out, but Jay-Z's vocals have never been better and he packs so much in that the track feels longer (longer in a good way) than its 4:37 running time. Alecia Keys' voice has never been stronger than on the incredibly catchy chorus, and that's led her to do her own version without Jay-Z, but it pales in comparison. I think in 10 years time we'll be looking back on this as a classic.

Fantastic beat, great melody and a phenomanal singer on the hook. What more could you ask for? The answer is nothing. As a Londoner from the UK, this track hit me, inspiring a love of New York as if i was born and bred there
By Sean Murray
Not a big Jay-Z fan but love the chorus hook with Alicia Keys brilliant melody and a solid hip hop beat!!! A modern classic!
By candygal
What can I say? This is a brilliant track by Jay Z and Alicia Keys. Great hook and lyrics that have me wailing along to the tune whenever I hear it. Awesome!
