The oral history of the tunnel nightclub ny

[Newark88]

i was too young to experience the House scene in the late 80's..shyt i love my house..

I was young too but the house scene in the 80's was big up here. You had the Paradise Garage in the city and you had the Zanzibar here in Newark.
Here's some documentaries on Larry Levan and the Garage and Tony Humphries and the Zanzibar.

Nothing will ever compare to Tunnel or Limelight.

NY in all it's gritty, grimy glory.

What the hell was the name of that spot they shot Salt-N-Pepa's "Gotta Man" video in again? Right by Union Square, they knocked it down for an NYU dorm or some shyt.

Edit: The Palladium

where exactly was the tunnel? and what is it now?

It was located on 27th and 12th in Manhattan. Now it's just a big warehouse I think.

Did NaS have any big songs in The Tunnel? I was looking thru the 75 Tunnel bangers list that Cipha Sounds made for Complex. There was hardly any nas on there. I'd think at least Hate Me Now would be a top 25 Tunnel banger. Not to mention Nas Is Like, If I Ruled the World, Street Dreams, The Message, Take It In Blood, Oochie Wally, Affirmative Action etc I understand that BK ran the tunnel but still Nore and Prodigy had several spots on the list. Does Cipha have some sort of grudge toward Nasir?
