Vancouver State of Mind - (Empire State of Mind parody)

We loved the Jay-Z and Alicia Keys song and thought it would be cool to do a version about Vancouver. Just something we did for fun. This is something we just threw together, so the sound quality isn't the greatest. Ellery is actually an Editor and did the rap part since we didn't have anyone else around while we were putting this together, so no offense intended to the real rap artists out there and their craft! :) This is all meant to be taken as light hearted fun that pokes a little at some of the good and bad of Vancouver. Ellery Vandooyeweert wrote the lyrics and performed the Jay-z part. Charlene Havlicek peformed the Alicia Keys part. Kevin Pavlovic directed and put it all together. -------------------- Lyrics: You wanna live near downtown? West End off Robson. A Half a mill 1 bedroom, that's how we roll son. Collecting average pay cheque. But still if you can make it here You can make it anywhere. (Less expensive everywhere) I used to roll in Yaletown, all of my young urban pros. Right there off of Homer, eatin' our steam rolled burritos. Hit the twin Starbucks, Robson and Thurlow Street. Can't afford my coffee, cuz of fucking HST. Cruising down Georgia, dark grey Rav 4. Can't park my ride, yo. Parking costs a shit load. I'm out to GM Place, home of Luongo. 2010 hero. Cup's still a no go. Chugging my 6 dollar beer, 90 dollar ticket. Sitting nosebleed, up so high I can't see shit. Pints at the Cambie. Doubles at the Morrisey. Tell by my broke ass that I'm most ...
