by Cedella S. on SUPER PRICY But oh so worth it. This is a place like NO other in Hollywood. Very nice and entertaining. Great for people with a love for house music and artistic expression. Can't wait to go again.
by Randolph Elefritz on Some Philly rateclubsers Just Don't Understand... You know rateclubsers aren't the same, No matter time nor place, They don't understand that our City's going to make some mistakes. So to you other rateclubsers all across the land. There's no need to argue, Some Philly rateclubsers just don't understand... Oh-kay, here's the situation. Back in the day this was a mecca for youth culture in the most positive sense. Kids from every section. More accurately, this was a center for Hip Hop Culture and just plain old chillin' in the way you used to be able to chill before EVERYBODY had to be a Tough Guy. Today, Clockwork Orange type Flash Mobs savagely beat random tourists for fun... To the youngin's...Rap is something you do. Hip Hop is something you live. Hip Hop was founded on respect, skills, and peace. Like a lot of other things in recent urban history. Hip Hop got Gentrified. It became...Rap Music. The Gallery is a living testament to what's happened, and what is happening, both to Hip Hop and Philadelphia. Short term thinking. Long term collapse. Billions are invested in gentrification in the most inaccessible, un-long term development friendly re-zoned residential neighborhoods. This creates an illusion of economic upturn. But. In the commercial and transportation hub of the City's planning...The whole place is left to rot. All that's left of the Golden Age of Philly Hip Hop are memories. Schoolly D. Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince. Tuff Crew. PRT. Hell...even Steady B, despite him losing his goddamn mind...and always a shout out to Cosmic Kev... One star for the present. Five stars for the past. Three stars on the average....One prayer for the future....
