Local politicians don't know where the Embassy is; midtown scenesters don't know that it's still open. But the spacious, two-room storefront bar at the intersection of Main and Westport Road is most definitely still open, and its Monday night hip-hop open mic, hosted by KC's patriarchal Heet Mob, is alive and well.
A relaxed, mostly older crowd dug the styles of the night's MCs, rapping to a DJ's beats or to the grooves of a full-on, who-are-these-kids? live band that called itself, I think, Doomsday. Anyone got their info?
Though I continued my salmon-run of gin and tonics from my evening's previous stop at the Record Bar, where I caught the Buffalo Saints' last show, and though my desire to perform all genres of music is intense when lubricated, I resisted the microphone's allures. I'll leave mastery of the ceremonies to the pros, like Dutch Newman.
I may have to get me a dookie rope, however.

By the Wordddd. On Monday's my friend....... you needn't worry about ass whole club managers. Ain't that right Hurrican?
(The views expressed in the above comment reflect the thoughts and views of Michael Brass so best beleive I can back it). I think you guys from the Pitch might have left early too. You missed The MOB shut shit down at the end of the night.
Thanks Jason. This is the guy that hosted the open mic session, Michael( The Session Sultan) Brass. Really would like to meet you guys being that we are up for Best Hip Hop and had to find out when some one just happened to read the Pitch. Come up Monday and "holla" at me. Mic Brass
See you at VooDoo with Heet Mob and the Roots 7/3
Peace
Good to see this night getting some press, but honestly fuck the Embassy Bar. The one cool owner left the business a few months ago and the one left running it is a shady asshole.
To respond to your comment "to the grooves of a full-on, who-are-these-kids? live band that called itself, I think, Doomsday. Anyone got their info?"
I think it's time you have a conversation with Godson, the reason you were afforded the opportunity to hear the Doomsday Band, the Emcee featured that night that you failed to mention and have failed to mention in other featured events.
