Memorial Day signals time for dancehall diehards to flock to Bicentennial Park for Best of the Best, the largest North American festival that brings together, well, the best of the best in Caribbean music. Last year, the bill featured acts like Buju Banton, Sizzla, and the don-dadda himself, Super Cat, and this year's line-up was similarly star-powered.
Aside from the cloudy forecast, more than 15,000 dancehall enthusiasts bared their respective island flags (not to mention the all excessive hand-held bullhorns) and braved the muggy weather. By the time 5 p.m. hit, the sizable audience was greeted by none other than Ms. Dancehall Diva, herself, Spice. Spice has been getting much underground buzz for her recent collaboration with Vybz Kartel, the sex-fueled "Rompin Shop," and she most definitely got a warm response from men and women alike.
