Friday Night: DJ Scratch at the Drake

Page 2 of 2

A performance from J.Cole was never promised, although rumors circled that Hollywood Cole was poised to drop a three song set. As he made his way from the upstairs VIP to the dance floor, he stopped to say hello and take photos with several of the female fans in attendance. The performance never materialized, although you can catch him on Rihanna's LOUD tour with Cee-Lo Green when it rolls through the Toyota Center on Saturday, July 9.

Personal Bias: I'm a fan of anything Jay-Z related.

The Crowd: An upscale mix thanks to the "no ball caps, tennis shoes, or utility boots" dress code.

Overheard in the Crowd: "Take my picture! Take another one! One more!"

Random Notebook Dump: I was referred to as "Shea Serrano's photographer" by Free of The Nice Guys. I guess that's a compliment.
