Stephen Colbert Raps With Alicia Keys – Video

Alicia Keys took to the piano to perform her new song, “Empire State Of Mind” on “The Colbert Report” last night and to say that it was hilarious would be an understatement.

Stephen Colbert Raps With Alicia Keys - Video

The funny part happens when Stephen comes out in his hoodie and raps the part that Jay-Z sings. He changed the lyrics and it’s just too funny.

Check out the video:

The lyrics:

Yeah, I love New York, it’s the king of all the cities
I lived up by the Guggenheim till I got myself some kiddies
Moved to Connecticut, bye George Pataki
Volvo to the dry-cleaners pickin’ up my khakis

Now my shopping mall is closer, my community is gated
My shorties are all private school educated
Home theater system, 60-inch plasma
Clean suburban air much better for my asthma

Still hit the city, Times Square I keep it real
Hard Rock Cafe for their appetizer deal
M&Ms Store, Disney Store, I’m in heaven
I own this town from 41st to 47

Got tickets to The Lion King, that show is fantastic
Leave half an hour early so I can beat the traffic
I can get home really fast, driver rocks an EZ-Pass
To the land of cheaper gas and the upper middle class

Stephen Colbert is awesome, I just love him to pieces. And Alicia Keys is just brilliant. This video is full of so much win.

Too bad the video wont work on my computer. I guess im missing out! I heard about this performance form some friends of mine who said they thought it was pretty cute. Although they did also say that they prefer it when ALicia sings with JayZ. They made it sound so good that i ended up downloading the song from http://www.kazaa.com – and i have to say, the song is pretty amazing
