    Honestly I've always despised Empire. It's like the Broadway play of NYC Rap anthems. It's the Hamilton of NYC anthems. I think Alicia Keys sequel works better than the version with Jay tbh. NY State of Mind is NYC, it is the grime of QB. It's NYC before it was gentrified by midwestern farm kids. Empire is NYC after gentrification. Empire is for these types of people:

    Never liked Empire too much. The vibe is not what 'm searching for in Hip Hop plus I'm not into Hov

    This is a ridiculous comparison. Everything is as clear as if you were comparing the beautiful Rihanna buttocks with the a--- of an old black man.
