We tweeted yesterday about Jay-Z's song "Empire State of Mind" and wondered how many times it had been played. Well...chalk up another tally to that count. Jay-Z performed the song live at the New York Yankees World Series ceremony today.
We thought it was pretty sweet and wanted to share...one question though, what was so important that kept Alicia Keys from being there?
It's November and the start of a new month which can only mean one thing...a new Fresh Goods Friday release is just around the corner. And while it may be around the corner for most people, we've got a special sneak peak for all of our Lids Blog readers. Hey, it's nice to know people -- we take care of our VIP Blog customers!
Without further ado...here's your first look at the November Fresh Goods Friday release, the MLB Trapper. Not only is this the sickest winter look, but it's super warm too. Whether you're wearing it for style or warmth (or both), this cap is sure to trap some hotties. Even Jay-Z rocked a similar style in his music video Empire State of Mind (snapshot below). And, of course, if it's good enough for the guy who "made the Yankee hat more famous than a Yankee can," it's good enough for me.
The MLB Trapper is a solid black New Era trapper hat that originated from New Era's EK premium headwear line. The cap features faux fur on the dogear flaps and on the flip-up front. The New Era cap has a solid black, raised embroidery team logo on the front panel, MLB logoman on the back, and two metal New Era flags on the left-wear side. This is a limited edition hat and will only be available at select stores in the following teams: New York Yankees, Atlanta Braves, Chicago White Sox, Philadelphia Phillies, Detroit Tigers, Boston Red Sox, Houston Astros and Los Angeles Dodgers.

It seems like we're up for a Jay-Z media blitz--he seems to be allover the airwaves these days. His much anticipated album, The Blueprint III, drops next week and is already streaming online for free (and legally).
Hova is also doing a 9/11 benefit concert and Rhapsody premiered this sick commercial that shows him seamlessly changing clothes to reproduce his past album covers.
We love the the part of the video where Jay-Z dons his New York Yankees hat, including the 59Fifty Black on Black Yankees cap. On his new track "Empire State of Mind," Jay-Z raps "I made the Yankee hat more famous than a Yankee can." So...do you think there is any truth to that statement, Lids readers?
Newly acquired Cleveland Cavaliers center Shaquille O'Neal shows off his special music talents lip-singing Akon's "Over the Edge." Since the trade, Cavaliers sales at LIDS have spiked and we anticipate them to be a big hit going into the new season. Check out all our Cleveland Cavaliers styles at LIDS.
