Mappin' All Over The World

October 29, 2009 at 8:10 AM

After rescheduling due to inclement weather, Jay-Z and Alicia Keys performed their ode to the Big Apple last night before Game 2 of the World Series. We came across this Google map plotting some of the most beloved NYC landmarks Jay mentions in the song, from Tribeca Grill to Yankee Stadium. Though "Empire State of Mind" may be blasting from almost every corner on the streets of NYC, there are a few other city songs that we think deserve some love too. Check out the maps we plotted below highlighting some of hip-hop's other favorite city anthems.
