Hip Hop Karaoke Friday - Beastie Boys Songs Added

noreply@blogger.com (Hip Hop Karaoke :: NYC) — Thu, 10 May 2012 06:03:00 +0000

We don't have to tell you how much Friday, May 4 sucked for hip hop, music and the world in general. But you can help celebrate MCA's legacy this Friday at B.B. King's. We've added more than a dozen classic Beastie Boys tracks, so you can remember the group the best way you can: by showing how timeless their music is. Here's the complete list of Beasties tracks that will be available at sign-up (though you might hear a few more not on the list):

Body Movin'
Brass Monkey
Ch-Check it out
Girls
Hey Ladies
Hold It, Now Hit It
Intergalactic
No Sleep Till Brooklyn
Paul Revere
Posse in Effect
Rhymin & Stealin'
Sabotage
She's Crafy
Slow and Low
So Whatcha Want
Sure Shot
The New Style
Time to Get Ill

14 of these songs have never been performed before at HHK, but we're going to make it a special night to salute one of hip-hop's best. Sign-up is on a first-come, first-serve basis. Hope to see you there.

Doors/Sign Up are at 10:30pm.

These went immediately last time, so get 'em while you can!!! We'll provide that link as soon as we get it.

See you in May!

Biggie Tribute - March 2nd - UPDATE

noreply@blogger.com (Hip Hop Karaoke :: NYC) — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 16:45:00 +0000

Hi All,

The special $1 early bird special tickets blew out immediately. Thanks for the support!

On the night of the show, tickets will be $5 with flyer, and $8 w/out flyer.

We recommend not purchasing tickets online at this point, as a $5 ticket comes out to a little more than $10 with the service fees on top.

The cheapest way to buy advance tickets at this point is at the BB King's box office. They are $5, and they are open from 10:30am until the evening show closes.

12 days and counting!

Thanks for everyone to coming out Friday night to the Whatever Annual Biggie Tribute (We're not good with dates).

Congrats to HHK regulars Scooter and Susanna for the first ever HHK onstage marriage proposal. Thankfully, she said yes or that would've been an awkward car ride home. Video below.

We're back.

Hip Hop Karaoke's 6th Anniversary - Dec. 3 - Brooklyn Bowl

noreply@blogger.com (Hip Hop Karaoke :: NYC) — Wed, 24 Nov 2010 06:17:00 +0000

Hip Hop Karaoke is proud to bring New York's most popular hip-hop event back to Brooklyn Bowl. If you've never been to Brooklyn Bowl, it's a 20,000-plus square foot center that includes bowling alley, restaurant (with food supplied by Blue Ribbon), bar and concert venue.

Plus, we are proud to announce that this'll be our official sixth anniversary show. What does that mean? Not much, except that we'll all probably be a little more tipsy and now is as good a time as any to say thank you to everyone who's come through since those early days at Rothko through last month at Mercury Lounge.

But anyone who's been to HHK at Brooklyn Bowl before knows that things always get a little crazier there than anywhere else. Just saying. See you there.

Hip Hop Karaoke
Friday, December 3rd

Sign-up is on a first-come, first-serve basis. Eat. Bowl. Rap. It ain't no more to it.

Don't forget to check out our song list, which has a bunch of new songs and if you're not following us on Twitter, what are you waiting for? See you there.

Thanks!

Thanks to everyone who came out to Brooklyn Bowl last night for the August edition of Hip Hop Karaoke!

Yo, it was LIVE! For serious, that was one of the best crowds we've ever had a HHK. So many great moments.

And it wouldn't be Brooklyn Bowl if it didn't get a little crazy towards the end. That's just to be expected at this point. People get crunked up at Brooklyn Bowl, it seems. Ourselves included, it seems.

We'll announce the next HHK soon, so check back right here on the blog and/or our Twitter feed.

Thanks again you guys, so much fun.

wex.

Other Guy and Wex will be going in on beer and something fried. Diggedy will be in the corner by himself, quietly destroying the Krispy Kreme burger stashed in his pocket.

Petey Pablo - "Raise Up"

We're also proud to announce a special Native Tongues hour. Everyone who signs up for a Native Tongues track will be eligible for a special prize. We're not saying what it is, but trust us: you'll like it (Dee Phunk, thanks for the suggestion, but don't think too many people would be excited by your autographed head shot.) See you there.

Ok, look... us HHK dudes realize that we've been slacking in the "adding new songs" department.

So, to help rectify that, and also make sure that August 7th at Brooklyn Bowl is SO fresh and SO clean... we're going to working hard to bring you one new song a day until.... we run out of ideas. Hah

So, starting today, we'll be adding ONE new song to the song list and debuting it here on the blog.

Check back a lil' later for today's song addition!
