NYC J&R Musicfest !
31 August 2010
will go down as one of the best days of my 17 years of life . . .
Why you ask? I met
J. Cole, one of my favorite artists ! My sister and I took the train to NYC to attend the
J&R Musicfest in
City Hall Park. There were four performers in all: a group called 4 Troops,
Alexis Jordan (newest signee to Jay-z's
RocNation label),
J. Cole (=D), and
Marsha Ambrosius (former member of Floetry, amazing voice). Everyone was waiting impatiently for Cole to come out. He was introduced by DJ Envy who got the crowd amped up even more. And when he finally hit the stage, we all went
crazy !
He was so
down-to-earth and
energetic when he performed. He had a pretty long set and I wasn't even expecting him to perform that long (20 minutes!), it was a great suprise =D. He performed "
We On," "
Last Call," "
Dollar and a Dream II," "
Lights Please," "
Grown Simba" (my favorite song), his verse from Miguel's "
All I Want Is You," "
Who Dat," and lastly his verse off of Jay-z's "
Star Is Born" from the Blueprint 3 album. My sis and I had a great spot though I wish I was upfront and center (what can you do? lol). But during "Lights Please," we actually made eye contact while I was singing along to the chorus ! And after the performance my sis and I made a quick dash to the
J&R musicstore across the street to get our place in line to get autographs ! I got to have a quick chat with him and thanks to my sis, I even have pictures too ! & Alexis Jordan was really nice and sweet, I told her how I first saw her
Youtube videos and she said she would definitely upload more. (Her single "Happiness" is on my music player =)
AHHH ! Mission Accomplished =)
Overall it was a
great experience with funny and exciting moments some that I will never forget like almost getting lost in the subway (finally figured it out, very easy =) and chatting it up with perfect strangers like Alexis Jordan's driver ! lol. Met some cool and interesting (!) people along the way [Shoutout to Shaneka from BK ! lol] . We capped it off by heading to a late night showing of "
The Takers" starring all of my
eye candies (
Idris Elba, Hayden Christensen, Paul Walker, T.I., Michael Ealy, Chris Brown, and Jay Hernandez ow!) wrapped into one crazy good movie! Go see it, it was worth my $10.50 ! =D
(
Side note: been meaning to put this up, currently trying to make a compilation video of the whole day, movie maker is giving me sh*t lol)
