If the thought of taking to the mic to sing along to Take That and Girls Aloud fills you with dread then try Hip Hop Karaoke at The Social. If you fancy yourself as the next Missy Elliot or Snoop Doggy Dogg then this is the forum to show off your hip hop skills, be it lyrics, rapping or even a bit of beatboxing.
Karaoke With Edge
When you think karaoke you probably imagine giggly hen parties in stupid outfits singing ‘At first I was afraid, I was petrified…’ – it’s enough to make you shudder with dread. Hip Hop Karaoke at The Social turns the idea of cheesy karaoke totally on its head with a song list that includes all the hip hop greats. Whether you like the Beastie Boys, Snoop Dogg, Missy Elliot, Eminem or Biggie then you’ll be given the chance to showcase your skills on the mic, karaoke style. It’s not exactly an 8 Mile style showdown, but it’s great fun.
Budget Friendly
Every Thursday night, Hip Hop Karaoke at The Social offers punters a chance to hit the mic – for free. There are no hire fees, entry fees or hidden costs. It’s free to all for the whole night. On top of that, you can win free beer and prizes for showcasing your skills.
Get Social at The Social
This blink and you’ll miss it bar, tucked away down Little Portland Street, has an unassuming exterior but inside it offers the kind of in the know charm that many central London bars and clubs lack. Non-flashy and non-pretentious with a certain bohemian charm, The Social is a snug low-lit boozer kitted out with red leather booths, a well stocked bar and walls lined with contemporary art. Every month they hold a big selection of club nights and host live music and entertainment events to help pull in the punters.
Who Will I Be Rapping To?
The Social pulls in media workers and in the know locals who head down Little Portland Street to seek out this hidden bar. Hip Hop Karaoke at The Social brings in a crowd of people who are looking for something different and want to show off their talent – or just have a laugh trying to emulate their hip hop heroes. It doesn’t take itself too seriously, so you shouldn’t.
Hip Hop Karaoke at The Social takes place every Thursday from 6pm-1am. Entry is free all night.
