Jay Z's "New York State of Mind" Becomes Official Anthem

Looks like the unofficial anthem of New York just got more official. Jay Z's hit song "Empire State of Mind" is set to replace Frank Sinatra's classic "New York, New York" at the Belmont Stakes this year. According to an article posted on MTV.com, an NYRA official said that "Empire" is "the quintessential 21st century theme song for New York City." Not sure that horse racing is really Hova's thing but hey, it's a compliment.
