I agree...
To be fair they are two different tracks. One is a commerical anthem thats going to be played for years to come at ball games and such and the other is agutter hood classic.
I prefer Jay's energy and swagger on WTNYC but the last verse on ESOM is dope.
All in all Jay lost a step.

ESOM is just a better song musically and it is not even close.

Jigga too corporate now, to make those kinda gritty tracks.
Like can you imagining him making a 22 Two's type track today?

Welcome to New York City is far more superior.

Thought yall was talkin bout the Dips for a min. But in my time I've learned that ppl prefer what they've heard first better than the latter listen.Like mentioned about, they two different tracks w/ the same message, just different vibes. WTNYC is more, Marcy Projects and ESOM is more Times Square

We all kknow that WTNYC is a Camron joint right
With that said I don't know how you compare them
they are fundamentally different

Yes dont get me wrong I love Welcome to NYC but it is not that good of a song. Overall looking at the song musically with production, lyrics onthe verses and Alicia killing the hook it is clearly a better son. However, most people here in the music forum will never give something that is new andactually better its props because they would rather hold on to the old nostalgia of the song they love and in turn are not objective when it comes to judgingmusic so I am not surprised at the majority of the responses in here.

What reason is that? Because it's A Key's song?

It took me years to realize that was Just Blaze singing the"Welcome to New York City" hook.
I actually thought it was a sample too
