ESPN the Magazine spared
no expense last night during their annual NFL Pre-Draft party at Espace. The SVEDKA was
flowing, the Coors Light was cold, the women were lovely, and the stars
were out last night. The ambiance was one of good times, high hopes, and sound
advice for this year’s draftees.
With legendary spin-mistress, Spinderella on the ones and twos and a live
performance by Fabolous, ESPN
the Magazine gave the NFL’s up-and-coming stars and their fans a memorable
evening.
Soon
to be NFL superstars, Michael Oher (University of Miss.) and Jason Smith (Baylor)
were in the house as well as future Hall of Famers Deion Sanders
and Michael Strahan.
New York Giants’ great, Rodney Hampton,
was in the building last night. The H-Town native has been busy with his various charity
organizations and football camps for youngsters while practicing on his golf
swing.
As the crowd settled into its collective mood, your favorite rapper's favorite slick talker and Brooklyn's own F-A-B-O took the stage and proceeded to rock the crowd with a medley of his biggest songs, much to the delight of those in attendance. Solid performance, good crowd control and overall very efficient.
With
this being a Hip-Hop site, we decided to ask a few stars a question that’s a
been a hot topic here on the site. The question: “Who are your Top 5 Hip-Hop
