When you link anything to Something Wonderful, I'm pretty much going to take a look. When you preface it with Central Park as you've never seen it, it's guaranteed I'm going to look. I must say that I'm no fan of rap either, and I'm pretty sure I'm not a fan of Jay-Z even though I've never heard him. Until now. I liked it. I'm shocked that I liked it. But the new Sinatra? That's a tad grandiose unless you are of a generation that has never known Sinatra.

I agree that he doesn't know from Sinatra.

Sorry, but the idea that is the new Sinatra is depressing as hell.

And I am not even much of a Sinatra fan.

He's NOT the "new Sinatra." He just brags that he is. He's a putz.

Yes it is real in that it is, I believe, stitched together from several shots into th e panorama you see. Won an award too. Here's an informative link
