It's not often Hova gets overshadowed on his own track, but while his verses here aren't bad, it is Alicia Keys' glorious hook that makes this track what it is. Majestic and uplifting, yet emotional and somewhat yearning at the same time. And the music backs her up equally well, fitting in with Jay-Z's Sinatra thing. That first 5 seconds that build up before the hook, real sweet.
