"It's Alive" is much more the consensus KC, MO anthem as opposed to "Welcome To The Midwest" which was supposed to feature Twista and the original concept had nothing to do with what the final version was about.

My two favorites of all of these would have to be My Block by Face and From the South by Z-Ro and co. Not sure which one I like more. Yo Kev, you should do a part Deux of this list, there's a ton of "represent" songs that were unmentioned.

While I do kinda like Empire State of Mind, that song title is straight booty. I wouldn't have a problem with it, if it was about more than just NYC.

Give Wayne a break, I think he accidentally press the bold bottom on that...

OK, Wayne picked Bout It Bout It over Deja Vu, and the Ro pick is the one that surprised you guys?

I think if I believed Wayne had ever heard a Z-ro song in his life I'd be more surprised.

NY is the EMPIRE STATE, so why would it be about more than just NYC?

he's saying he named the song after the empire state, but he completely ignored the entire state except for NYC. Why didn't he just name it NYC State of Mind? Oh wait, that would really look like biting, and we all know Jay doesn't bite, right?

Yes, I had my reply all typed out, then got a phone call. But, that is the point I was getting at. New York is a whole state, and most people don't realize that.

Western New York>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Eastern New York

Southern New York>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Northern New York

I cant call who is bigger in those areas im not from, but Apathy-RI?...not even from here, c'mon man!
