I really like the Jay Z song and actually I thought it was about time someone did a parody but I didn't think it would be THIS good!
This is AWESOME!
Just for those that maybe haven't heard the original -

Wow thats great! Great song to begin with and they kept the timing perfect!!!
Jay Z and Alicia Keys did this live when the Yankees were in the World Series. Gave me goosebumps

Wow I bet that was awesome to see John, it really is a great song, probably not to everyones taste but I like a little bit of everything from Michael Jackson to Pantera so a bit of Jay Z doesn't hurt
Besides - even if you don't like the song/style of music, its a funny parody

[DARTH VADER/JAY-Z] Yeah No longer Anakin Formerly a Skywalker Son's next rebel hero But I'll be Sith forever I'm the newest Dark lord And since my training years I can choke from anywhere Yeah my force is everywhere Used to run with Obi Wan We were both best buds foreva But after three movies Now I've got a blood vendetta Grew up on Tatooine No vegetation Catch me rolling through the cosmos in a moon-like station to Leia's home nation Death Star wrecks it Now princess knows, Vader ain't one to mess with Flying through the trenches Blasting rebel noobies What happened to the fat one Think he died of heart disease All that's left is this guy Chasing him in my TIE I won't deny That his force is pretty damn high Damn i just got wiped out Falcon shot the back of me Spinning into outerspace But I'll be back definitely
[PRINCESS LEIA/ALICIA KEYS] In Star Wars Empire is out to find Leia Death star plans in R2 Shoot the exhaust port Kenobi may now be see-through But the force is within Luke Let's hear it for new hope, new hope, new hope [Vader: You're welcome Obi Wan... I made you a ghost!]
[DARTH VADER/JAY-Z] Catch me rockin boots and a cape like superman Hell, I made wearing black more famous than that Jay-Z can You should know I'd find you, hiding out at Echo Now I got a Blizzard Force eliminate you quick yo Welcome to the planet Hoth AT-ATs hit the spot Walking tanks are too legit But they fall down a lot Check the front, check the back, cant find the Falcon yet We need them all alive, so no disintegrations Boba Fett 8 million asteroids, where'd your little ship go? Get me to Cloud City, I got Lando on my payroll Me I gotta double check if carbonite's ok If freezin's safe for Han Doing Luke the same way New deal Lando Ain't no pardon Kid blew up my boys Rest in peace Moff Tarkin Turns out we are family Embrace your dark fate Dad and son together, yo No way the emperor's safe, cause...
[PRINCESS LEIA/ALICIA KEYS] In Star Wars Now Han Solo's a coffee table There's nothing Luke can do [Vader: Should've joined me, bro!] He's on Dagobah With some dyslexic Jedi dude Right hand still got sliced through Looks like they struck back, struck back, struck back
[DARTH VADER/JAY-Z] Lightsabers grinding Palpatine's smiling Cause he knew it would come to this The light side is blind with casualties Who do evil casually, then gradually become worse Don't fight your destiny Wasn't a great dad, true Absent all the while No happy times behind us, and plus, now I'm killin' you Keep fencing mister, 'cause now I sense a sister You don't go bad, maybe I'll enlist her Now Emperor wants you, only wants me rubbed out You controlled your anger, stayed light side devout Watch out kid, he's got lightning bolts to immolate Uh-uh, hell no, daddy powers activate End this prune with a badass murder suicide Bald headed, mask off, heart melted kid you were right Burn all my gear so those Ewoks can't wear it again Do it, I'll be watching you, a ghost, name of Anakin
[PRINCESS LEIA/ALICIA KEYS] In Star Wars Destroy new Death Star's generator Ewoks to the rescue Blast through to the core This Regime's gonna be brand new Galactic Empire's through The Jedi have returned, returned, returned

Lol no worries, they play it a lot on a music channel here and yesterday night I was watching it and thinking - wow I wonder if anyone takes the "Empire" name and does a SW parody, went to youtube this morning and it was on the front page lol
Awesome tune and the lyrics and video are great, very clever. In fact the voices are SO similar its like they did actually get the artists to sing it !
