Video: Jay-Z feat. Alicia Keys – Empire State Of Mind (Live @ 2009 VMAs)

jay-z brings out alicia keys and… lil mama? here’s vid of their live performance that closed out the 2009 mtv video music awards. what’s up with the rough, growly voice at the beginning of the first verse though? oh well. miss keys kills it though, and i didn’t watch the awards so excuse me for being ignorant but who was the chick with the crazy hair-fro standing to the left of beyonce?

props to Nah Right.
