Stephen Colbert & Alicia Keys Get in a Nutmeg State of Mind

"Empire State of Mind" get suburbanized

Not since the old SNL skit about "white guys who take no crap" has Connecticut gotten so much hip-hop love.  Stephen Colbert teamed with Alicia Keys last night to suburbanize "Empire State of Mind," giving the ode to the Big Apple a decidedly Metro-North flair.

"Khaki and Pataki."   It's amazing that no one has rhymed that couplet before.  And the Hard Rock Cafe appetizer deal, "The Lion King" and the M&M store all get the props they so deserve.
