Museum Raps

Sunday, January 27, 2008

Its hard to think of an age-old institution of science and research as capable of putting on a "cool" event that outshines many young, edgy, trendy organizations' attempts at entertainment. Fortunately this is NYC. This weekend I had the opportunity to attend the American Museum of Natural History not for its exhibits, but rather for a crazy hip-hop show featuring The Cool Kids, Kid Sister & DJ A-Trak (Kanye West's official DJ).

It went down on the main floor of the planetarium, so it was basically a ton of people drinking, dancing, going nuts right there among exhibits like a scale model of our galaxy and a 15-ton meteorite. It was a perfect example of why I love this town and its variety of backdrops for art and creativity.

Highlights include dancing with A-Traks mom, Kid Sister crowd surfing in a dress, and a surprise appearance by Kanye West himself during Kid Sister's "Pro Nails" before hanging around to perform 4 of his songs in a huge fur coat!
