Jay-Z’s The Blueprint 3 is unlikely to feature in many best-of-the-decade lists, although he certainly has a few other contenders in the ring for that particular competition. The hip-hop star has lifted "Empire State of Mind" from the album in an attempt to lift its profile, and the song is being promoted by a suitably New York-centric video.

The black and white clip finds Jay-Z performing in a variety of places, including subway stations and outside tall buildings, but the best part comes when Alicia Keys starts hammering away on a grand piano in the middle of a busy street. Positive proof that celebrities really do get everything they want.
