HIP HOP LANDMARK THE AUDUBON BALLROOM!

HIP HOP LANDMARK THE AUDUBON BALLROOM!Manhattan, New York Why this would be a Hip Hop Landmark for one reason because this is where we lost our great Malcolm X and where many of Hip Hop Pioneers performed back in the 70's. The same stage where Malcolm X was assassinated on is the same stage that these groups performed on. Even though that the Ballroom had many rooms that were smaller and the Audubon Ballroom over the years had many Culture events there. Such Hip Hop Pioneers who performed there like Dj Hollywood, Luvbug Starski, Kool Kyle, Mean Gene, the Coldcrush Brothers, Grandwizard Theodore and The Fantastic 5, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious 5, The Funky 4 plus 1, Crashcrew and the countless Hip Hop acts and battle held there. Many of these shows were promoted by pioneering Hip Hop promoter Ray Chandler who was Flash and the Furious 5 first manager as well the late Kool Dj Aj. My one story at one of these events was that I personally got stuck up one night after a party at the Audubon. But some of the greatest Hip Hop parties were gave their up until around 1983.
