Da God MC Hov rocked Liberty State Park, NJ at the All Points West Festival Friday (July 31). The park was enormous, the crowd was loyal and dedicated to the festival, the ground was MUDDY from the rain and Hov made sure he showed his appreciation for the crowd that tolerated the conditions.
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.

"Ten-nine-eight-seven..." the crowd chanted as if it were New Years Eve in New York City.

When it reached "0:00" the crowd erupted and then Jay-Z entered the stage grabbing everyone's undivided attention.

The best part about the show was how he ended it: combing the crowd, shouting random fans from as far as his eyes could see and thanking them for coming. Hov made the crowd forget they were standing in ankle deep mud and it helped the crowd's moral to manage the troop home to the parking lot.
A great show? Nah, words can't describe it... maybe it was the mud that made it that much better. More exclusive pics at the bottom.
