Jay-z rips New Jerseys "All Points West Festival"

This past weekend Jay-z headlined & performed at the highly anticipated "All Points West Festival" in New Jersey. Originally the Beastie Boy's were supposed to be the headliners but with the tragic, breaking news of one of the members being diagnosed with cancer, they had pulled out & that led to Jay-z being called in last minute to save the day.. & he did NOT disappoint.

Fans, barefoot in the mud, walked to the stage area early to get their first-come-first-serve front row position of the stage area at least an hour before show time. As the crowd grew larger, the contagious anticipation flooded the area wondering how the weather would affect Hov's performance.

With luck, the sky parted and the stars appeared above the crowd when a timer on the jumbotron counted down til showtime.
