Of all the many options you have for kicking it old-school this Saturday, none will quite match the scene on Governors Island—Snoop, Wu-Tang, Tribe, KRS-One , Lauryn Hill and Slick Rick will be performing together in a single afternoon. And all this time you’ve been wondering where to get your 1994 on.
He’s been gone more than a year now, but Michael Jackson’s star power is strangely stronger than ever. For proof, wander over to Prospect Park on Sunday for an outdoor dance party and MJ tribute, compliments of Spike Lee and 10,000 dedicated fans of the King of Pop. 10,001 if you moonwalk by.
