| If this is true, then it's bad news for Spirit and shows that the club is in trouble. The Palladium took a nosedive when it started having regular hip hop nights and we all know what happened when Sunday 'Mecca' nights found a home at the Tunnel... |

What do you mean? Every Friday night Funk Master Flex was the DJ at Palladium....Palladium always played Rap then Reggae then Techno on Fridays in that order....and it was like that from 1991 to 95 ..... not sure what happened after 95 cus i never really went again cus that was when HipHop turned to and i never went back.
But The Palladium always had Friday as their HipHop nights with one of the biggest DJs of the time.....any given Friday you would see rappers in the Palladium...anyone from Q-Tip to Guru....and there was always performers there on Friday nights...i can still remmeber watching Boogie Down Productions (only KRS and D-Nice) playing live...u cant get more hiphop then that;) |

| Ummm... you like dance music. Other people like hip-hop. And... some others even like rock. The world does not revolve around dance music. |

by '95 the palladium started hosting hip hop events during the week and it seemed to gain more notoriety as a hiphop spot than as a dance club. the tunnel had a similar pattern -- originally mecca nights were in one of the smaller rooms, but by the time funkmaster flex took over they had gone to the main room. by the mid-late '90s, the Tunnel was known more for its thugged out sunday nights than anything else.
take the legendary Union Square which in its time was probably the central hip hop club in nyc. as the crowds crew larger, it was shuttered after repeated incidents of violence, both inside the club and out (i remember reading about amish farmers getting beat down as they set up their farmers' market tables at the north end of the park after the club's patrons let out).

if that was directed at me, it's way off as i'm one of the biggest hip hop supporters on these boards. i was just speaking in frank terms about the reality that hip hop in nyc's largest rooms is usually a harbinger of problems.
the hip hop clubs that last -- and in my opinion, function best -- are those that are somewhat smaller in scale. club ark in brooklyn, has been around for almost twenty years, and other famed hip hop spots that lasted, like amazura, the muse or caribbean tropics, were also smaller in size.
the best hip hop events today are hosted in similar smaller-size spaces, like S.O.B.'s, the Lion's Den, and B.B. King's (peep my sig. for will be a great hip hop show there next month ;) )
sorry for the threadjack OP. |
