2 months agoSince Saturday night, seemingly the whole of New York City has been heartily enjoying the Knicks' first NBA championship since 1973. People were out in the streets all night after the team's series-clinching win in San Antonio, and many of them were belting out Alicia Keys' chorus to Jay-Z's "Empire State Of Mind." Keys herself sang the song Saturday night at the Tribeca Film Festival, where the documentary Alicia Keys: Girl From Hell’s Kitchen had a well-timed premiere last week.
