END OF AN ERA: BB KINGS will close due to HIGH RENT IN NYC..RICK ROSS & SLICK RICK last SHOW

It's so crazy how gentrification is supposed to make cities great while pushing out the things that make the city great in the first place.

Bingo.


NYC been dead for at least a decade now.

RIP to the BB Kings venue.

All cities gonna look the same generic hipster shyt. Condos,Bike lanes, Froyo, Starbucks,Chipotle....

Exactly. the thing is it's older and younger people going along with the sterilization of cities' cultures ...

Shyt is part of a MUCH bigger plan. Really need to get the fukk outta the U.S.

NYC sucks now... Jesus Christ, they’re killling all the culture of the city.

I walked upto Big Noyd after he performed to dap him up and he squared up on me I guess he thought I was coming at him.

I've had some great times in that place. There's really no reason to be in Times Square if you're from NY unless you're going to BB Kings.

Saw BCC at the 15 year Duck Down anniversary show there. Numerous other shows I always ended up missing due to scheduling or travel issues (2 hr trip to NY for me).

Cant count how many youtube clips of live performances I've peeped at this venue though.

this shyt legit made me sad. Almost like when they painted over 5 pointz. I used to party there in like 2012. Every friday used to be a lit party at BB Kings back then. Used to be a crazy sight to see a 100 bad bytches online to go in there in the middle of tourists Time Square. Literally. Just walking by the place made you wanna go in. 1st place i heard Joe Budden All Of Me and almost cried. Typing this made me remember old Barcode arcade on forty duece smh. Good times

NY been expensive.. if this place was in Harlem, I could see the gentrification comments.

You gotta finish that story.

that's pretty much it.

It was after a performance and I don't think people knew who he was, even in this environment. The next performer was on stage and He went to the bar to get a drink, dolo, and i was shocked that no one acknowledged him. He literally just got off the stage like an open mic night and went back into the crowd


I walked over to him like I would anyone else and I said "big noyd right?" And he literally squared up, raised his fists and said "yeah? "




I said I'm a fan, good shyt up there. We laughed it off and he dapped me up. I don't look intimidating at all either. Guy looked like he spent the last 4 years in a German trench he was so on edge.
