Interesting! So even though she was wild in the club and you found out later she was a prostitute, you still felt some type of way? Why so?

:whoa:

let me be crystal clear

after i hollered & declined to bounce with her, 40 minutes later seeing her with another nikka feeling & kissing her up - is what got me tight (i felt or wish i pursued her more & that nikka getting his rocs off should have been me)



weeks later knowing she out in dem streets sucking nikkaz off for 80 dollars - made me realize - be careful what u wish for

Who takes a crap in the club?
Did they play r&b as well?
was it really separated by borough?

R&B was in the mix.....and Dancehall....

storys about the crowd being rugged just came with the territory..you took a chance at any spot u went to...even school mixers....drama and spots go hand and hand.....one thing i remember was how if u were high off weed u felt telepathically as if everyone was in the same zone...well atleast i did..because for the most part aside from the screw faces you'd get head nods and wussups from strangers...

the smell of cheap nyc weed was always in the air.



i notice these white outlets always refer to the Limelight as the last real club in nyc.....and even tho the Limelight reopened in the mid 90's and i assume wasn't what it was in the 80's I dont remember it being better that The tunnel or Bentlys.....I assume because the white media doesnt wannaacknowedge that the real last great clubs in nyc was dominated by the urban atmosphere.

I think the tunnel represented not only an era of hip-hop but a gone era of NYC culture. All the wild stuff that went down there was that sort of of lawlessness you saw in NYC pre 9-11. Truth be told once those towers went down the climate changed:sadcam:

I remember seeing an old article in Vibe about the tunnel and it literally had a diagram of the floor and where each boro resided at.

real talk

u ever watched that peter gatien documentary ? shyt is must see... after the feds & mayor guliani destroyed his life 1st with tax evasion then jail time
the very late 90's beginning of the 00's gatien said the only reason he was able to survived was thru the tunnel (i believe he even made a comment on some shyt like its the number 1 club cause of the music & the people and since the people & music were black n brown the mayor and powers of be did everything possible to shut it down)
once rudy accomplished this - gatien said fukk it & went back home to Canada

I feel like more than anything, the closure of the tunnel affected the shift in NY Hip Hop to the south to the point where now people think NY street rap couldn't play in clubs and thats total bullshyt. Had it stayed open I believe other clubs would have followed suit
Dudes like Nas, Mobb Deep, Beanie Siegel, Dipset, Ghostface, Joe Budden, Papoose and Saigon would have really benefitted from the tunnel remaining open in the 2000s and through the 2010s. No doubt Southern Hip Hop would have still been a success and Crunk, Snap and Trap would have popped off in the tunnel (Cash Money benefitted tremendously and I think that acceptance helped it in NYC) but those guys with tunnel bangers would have had continued national prominence.

It would have to had done a 180, there was no control whatsoever in there and the guy saying they closed because of back rent due is wrong. Gattien was under the Feds radar for drugs selling there and Limelight. I know plenty of guys who did time after they got shut down.

I believe it because thats what i remember. Even with the Palladium , it had all this hype in mainstream press but was never packed like the Tunnel. I never saw that docu but I also say the same thing about Blackplanet. All these Facebook related bios always say Myspace was the precursor even tho Blackplanet was the profile website that took us into the new Millennium. They dont acknowledge because of the name. Whats crazy is i have no choice but to acknowledge Blackplanet because it was 2 whiteboys from the military who weren't wiggers who put me onto Blackplanet in 1999.
