When Jay-Z and Alicia Keys performed at the World Series [click to read], many of the New York Yankees spoke on what it meant to have him perform. Now, Jay-Z is speaking on the experience. In an interview with Mike and Mike of ESPN, the emcee said it was “incredible.”
“I felt like a kid. The field is beautiful. I’ve never been that close to the field. Walking around, I jumped over the center-field fence and everything, like I was catching a home run.”
He went on to note that it’s “beautiful” that many of the New York players use his music as they get ready to bat.
“Jeter plays ‘Empire State’ every time he’s at bat. A-Rod does ‘Already Home’ and ‘Reminder,’ Cano does ‘Run This Town.’ It’s like the Jay-Z compilation at the stadium. It’s beautiful.”
Later, Jay made a prediction, going with the Yankees in seven games.
