A guy came over to me with this huge sticker, as I waited for the infamous L train. He politely asked me if I liked hip-hop. I responded yes. Then he gave me the sticker and told me a new artist is coming out named “Jay- Z”. Who knew?jayz

Who is the better artist? I would have to say that is a personal opinion. I would be partial to Michael Jackson. The fabulous DJ Spinna took to the turntables and made the night filled with all things Prince and MJ. I danced the night away as some of my MJ favorites were played such as Thriller, Lovely One and Wanna Be Startin Somethin. The crowd went bananas when “Thriller” went on, everyone equally lost it when “Nasty Girl” was played. It was a battle indeed. The crowd was filled with many of Jackson’s fans, as many rocked some sort of MJ fashion. I spotted some Prince gear as well. Spinna made the crowd go wild when he played “Wanna Be Startin Somethin”. At the end of it, he kept playing back ma ma se ma ma sa ma ma coo sa. There was singing, screaming and clapping, that was the high light of the night for me. I thought I would have headed to the exit after that, then “Got to be there” went on. It’s a party where one really doesn’t want to leave because the next track will be as good as the last one. I finally walked out at 4:05 am as the lights to the club went on.
