This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
The Tunnel is a nefarious New York nightclub — kind of a hip-hop Studio 54 where, if you believe police reports, drug use, sexual assaults and violence are as much a part of the scene as the DJ booth.
And in that DJ booth every Sunday, you’ll find Funkmaster Flex and Big Kap working the turntables. On this 21-track mix album, the duo recreate a night at the club (minus the drive-by shootings and crack dealers), from the scene outside in the line to the cavernous, pounding grooves and pitch-black gangster-rap lyrics of these exclusive tracks from a stellar lineup including Notorious B.I.G., Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Dre, LL Cool J, Ruff Ryders and plenty of others. It’s a nice way to visit The Tunnel without actually having to go there.
