by Hannah C. on can we say g-h-e-t-t-o? this place is really big and reminded my of my clubbing days when i was younger. it's like a zoo inside with so many damn people. the girls were trashy and the guys were equally the same. i don't know what's up with the metal detectors because that made me a bit uneasy, and not to mention that it's right next to a strip club. i guess the only positive thing about this place is that it's open until really late.
by Brian N. on http://www.sobs.com/ I've needed to get out of this house for a good minute, so when my friend told me KRS ONE was going to be performing at S.O.B.'s Sunday night, I thought "perfect." My friend goes to a lot of hip-hop shows. He has this big book that is filled with autographs. Anyway, he told me this is his favorite venue to see an artist, and after tonight I can see why. Doors opened at 8, show was to start at 9. I got there at 9:15 (coming from PA, plus I just seem to have a problem being on time most places) and DJ JS-1 (Rock Steady Crew) was cutting up some old-old school on the turntables (this cat is no joke.) Shortly thereafter he moved into the mid-80's and 90's, and I swear this cat played a joint from every album on the "best hip-hop album" thread from a week or so ago and then some. I started to wonder why I ever waste time in some of the bullshht clubs I've been to in Philly and Central Jersey (although I maintain my Jersey love)- this basement hip-hop shht is for what I truly have an affinity. Anyway, Channel Live came on about 10:30, followed by KRS, who gave an amazing show. I have so much respect and admiration for KRS ONE - he's one of the main reasons my infatuation turned into a true love for hip-hop back in '86. Also, Craig G, Sadat X and Busy B stopped by and did a li'l something. But Channel Live and KRS are what made this show. KRS free-styled half the show, now that's an emcee. Okay, back to the venue - why it's so awesome - because it's not a large venue - you can get right up to the stage if you want, easy, and interact with the artist. I was standing in the back (I can be a bit of an introvert) and It's still like KRS was in my living room. This place doesn't get crazy packed to where everyone is up on you either, plenty of breathing room. Perfect place to catch your favorite artist and have it feel like an intimate experience. Also, it's a mature crowd, I can appreciate that. There's also a full bar, the bartender seemed to have it pretty much under control. I only ordered a bottle of water. I can see I'm gonna be trekking here more often - if there's ever an artist I want to see and they're performing here - fuhgethaboudit, I'm there. Oh, and the show was $20/$25 at the door. Not bad for seeing one of the biggest legends in hip-hop... One last thing, this place is a restaurant as well. I saw a lot of people getting food while I was there, and last week I looked them up online and I have to say, their menu looked like eating there would be a more than pleasant experience - but I have no experience to back that up... yet...
by Bradley Herschell on I really don't know how we ended up here but there I was standing in line with seemingly normal looking people to get inside of a warehouse. The music is not my type of music so I spent the first hour people watching and loving as two of my girls danced to music I could not understand. To avoid a creep who just wouldn't let me sit in peace I proceeded to the dance floor and ended up having an awesome time. But by 4am the crowd was getting a lil to happy if you catch my drift. It's an experience for sure and it's something new. Everyone there is very nice and I'm surea majority are on drugs! But it's fun and if you depart when you start feeling uncomfortable with the surroundings like we did then you leave with happy thoughts about the place. Good way to end a random night.
