Shout to DJ A-Jax for puttin me up on game!

I heard this on sports radio and wanted to share it with my Baseball Fans. Pretty good take on Jay and Alicia's "Empire State Of Mind".  Personally I am rooting for the Yankees, they paid a lot of money for this championship lol, although I have MUCH love for the Phillies, as a matter of fact this World Series is even more of a Win Win for NYers than the Subway Series a few years back... So many of my favorite DJ's are Philly born and NY based that I can't imagine a more Hip Hop Baseball Series... This song proves it!

Lyrics:

yeah im talkin b hop
more like a balboa
never been to my city
come on wit me ill show ya
home of the fresh prince
jazzier than jeff is
back in the day doc j rock a 76
jersey just across the bridge
betsy ross walt whit
benjamin franklin
1776
state our independence
high as kites ever since
sayin you from philly
you reap nothin but the benefits
plus its always sunny here
just in case ya unaware
citizens be bankin in
can we get another year
yeah im talkin repeat
heat like hamels
utley amazin
charlie wrote the manuel
broad street bullies
nothins flyer than a flyers fan
missin all his teeth
bobby clarke still smilin
rocky on the first step
headin to that top one
yeah thats me
we go hard where
im from

chorus
In philly
concrete jungle where dreams are made of
theres nothin you cant do
now youre in philly
these streets will make you feel brand new
these lights will inspire you
lets hear it for philly x3

back when we had sly bacon
whoops i mean cunningham
right after jaws
and right before the running man
so much wit
prolly get it from the cheesesteaks
i been out all night i just wanna sleep late
young crowd olde city
tell me where the party at
meet the girl on south street
better rock ya party cap
cruisin down city ave
headin to the boulevard
coulda grabbed the El
but they told me that it wouldnt spark
this where im comin from
who knows where we goin to
i feel like im in line for a ride
when im at tony lukes
we could lose all the trees
but we still got the roots
plus we got beans
and an eve that doesnt opt for fruit
green blood in the tube
if we need it transfused
when the mets come thru
youre gonna hear our fans boo
this is the city of the brotherly love
and if youve never been here
i suggest that you come to

chorus

now that we got vick
i think we need the vet back
tougher than a stitch
on a mitchell and ness cap
liberty bell crack
walnut chestnut
aint justa ill track
more like the best of
215
yeah i covered all of that
from way back to the future
with this almanac
illadelph artifax
love park heart attacks
always on the grind till i die
spillin all the facts
yeah the way im writin
youd think that im a titan
the way my penns landin
the crowd is left standin
d e mandin
chantin
one more encore
whos the new kid i never heard em before
so reggie white wit a mic
bringin hits all night
cant afford this flow
a praise for no price
they call me neeko
this is for my people
ill state of mind
everywhere we go

This just in off of STEREOGUM

Exciting as the prospect of pushing buttons and scratching records in simulation of pushing buttons and scratching records might be, Activision's expansion into the realm of the DJ Hero has netted online demand "well below" expectations. Not even Daft Punk contributing their likenesses and 11 exclusive mixes could get the buzz up. But while online interest in the game might be low, online interest in hearing the 93 mashups is likely higher, or so we're assuming with this post. We have 3 for you to hear, here:

Weezer "Beverly Hills" vs. Evidence, The Alchemist, Aceyalone, Rakaa & 88 Keys "Fresh Rhymes And Videotape" (DJ-Guitar mix)
