Jay-Z & Nas - Empire State of Mind Remix?!

Back when the tracklist for Blueprint 3 was announced, you may remember I got a lil bit excited because as I mentioned in my review, I expected Nas to be on it...I mean come on, it just makes sense!

Anyway I got over that, in time, and was nicely surprised with the Alicia Keys assisted version.

According to the rumour mill over at allhiphop.com though, there is a remix in the works featuring Nas which may be released next year. Word is that Nas was originally meant to feature but was unavailable at the time. Another reason could be that Jay didn't want his shine stolen if Nas came stronger (see Black Republican for example!).

So i'll be keeping my ear out and let's be hoping it happens. Until then here's one of the few examples we have of 2 of the greatest on the same track together.
