The Situation: Recent controversy and conversation starter, "The Rape Tunnel" has lead local rappers Ripynt and Kublakai to build their own version. When these two awkwardly named emcees were asked "Why build a rap tunnel?", they had some very interesting answers.
Ripynt says "We've tried giving our music away, but we're in a recession. People are far more hesitant these days to accept a free download of an album than years before. With the rise of iTunes and other viable media outlets to actually purchase quality music, many hobby rappers have been left in the dust, with a shitload of unused bandwidth".
"We decided to build a Rap Tunnel out of plywood that leads into the back of Nectar Lounge. There is no way in or out of this part of the Nectar Lounge except for this tunnel. As you travel through the tunnel, it gets smaller and smaller, making it so that you have to crawl and put yourself in a submissive position in order to reach the tunnel's destination. At the end of the tunnel the subject will find me and Ripynt hobby rapping to the best of our ability. It's going to be fucking maddening," says Kublakai.
Game tips/Walk throughs: Enter through the castle's back door. Seriously, for those that would rather just walk into the show tonight at Nectar Lounge, feel free... the show, like the two EP's it is promoting, is totally free. For those that would rather face the Rap Tunnel, be warned that Notion and Wizdom are also on the bill.
