Spike Lee threw a big bash for what would have been Michael Jackson’s 51st birthday in Prospect Park on August 29th. Some of the attendees were Al Sharpton, Tracy Morgan, and Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz. It was a celebration, a karaoke sing-a-long, and a dance off.
At one point during “Butterflies”, hundreds of Monarch butterflies were released over the crowd. And there was also a big ass birthday cake. Ma ma se ma ma sa ma ma coo sa, indeed.
