:francis: I was, insanity, never really been into hip-hop clubs :mjpls: but X is my goat. Tunnel is every bit as crazy as you've heard. Guns, knives everything out in the open dudes would get stomped out and people would just keep dancing around them :bryan:

I don't have no super wild stories except that night that DMX performed seemed like everyone was extra drunk and high, I was walking around and some dude on his way out randomly gives me a half drank bottle of Moet :whoo:


:obama: Personally Webster Hall to me is the GOAT NYC club, now that place I got some stories

Point of reference. DJ Mister Cee. He apparently went on one of those "special" blocks that we all knew to avoid, and kept going back...... IYKYK. Ha

What I never see when people reminisce on The Tunnel, is how hectic it was trying to get home. Whether getting to the whip or walking back to the Iron Horse in the early hours of the morning, esp. through or around those PJs. It was always some kind of pressure on when the jump-out was coming and for who. Straight target status, Don't miss those days at all

No doubt, but not on every block around there. Drive too far over and you in transformer alley. No matter how fast your ride's 0-60 mph time was, it was never fast enough to get out of there hahaha. Like, "wtf did my eyes just witness? Let's just go home." Mood blown completely.

If you've been through that area recently, you wouldn't even recognize it. They even have the High Line over it and Chelsea Market a bit south. Further up 10 Ave now, you got Hudson Yards. People right now would not even believe that one of the grimiest hip hop spots in the world once was in that neighborhood. And all around it was the track (aka hoe stroll) back then.
