"While the people around us were sitting or quietly standing, the four of us were half holding each other, half making "this is TOO beautiful" gestures toward Shawn Carter. There was a lot of jumping up and down, hands over faces, and mimicking Jay holding up Blue Ivy like Simba on Pride Rock. Why no one else was reacting like this was absurd, but we didn't care. For all intents and purposes, this was Jay performing for his adoring crowd of four emotional crazies. And just when we thought it couldn't get any realer, the audio of Blue Ivy crying at the end of the track kicked in. I couldn't even begin to tell you what me and the girls did, not for fear of our reputations, but because we all blacked out."

If I have to tell you who those crazies were, you haven’t been reading closely enough.
