Why is this forum called "The Tunnel"?

Just curious. It was hard to find if I didn't go around clickin' random boards.

Presumably in reference to this:

and Tunnel Bangers, specifcally beats that would get people going wild

Oh, alright. Yea, I used to hear about the tunnel on Hot 97 all the time.

I thought there might be a deeper meaning though.
