“#Rap legends herald The Bronx’s Universal Hip Hop Museum<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Move over, MOMA.<\/p>\n

There will be a new museum on the block of New York\u2019s must-see cultural institutions \u2014 and she\u2019s a home-grown girl.<\/p>\n

That would be the Universal Hip Hop Museum, which had its groundbreaking ceremony along the Harlem River on Thursday featuring such NYC rap legends as LL Cool J, Nas, Fat Joe and Grandmaster Flash. The museum, which began construction in February, will launch as the cultural hub of the new Bronx Point development in 2024.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt made me dream, you know what I\u2019m saying?\u201d said Queens native LL of his hometown rap roots that last week led him to be announced as a musical excellence inductee into the Rock & Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n

.\u201cHip-hop made me believe that anything was possible. It was the first time that I heard, you know, young black men sound empowered. Most of the time when I saw young black men, they were, like, putting their heads down being put in a police car \u2026 This was, like, the first time where I felt like, \u2018Wow. It\u2019s possible to be powerful. It\u2019s possible to be somebody.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n

And a lot of the somebodys who have made hip-hop what it is today will be celebrated in the museum. In the borough that put the genre on the map.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, hip-hop originated here back in 1973,\u201d Rocky Bucano, founder and executive director of the museum, told The Post. \u201cHip-hop is the most popular art form in the entire world, which is now getting ready to celebrate its 48th anniversary this year. And it\u2019s almost sacrilegious that a creative art form doesn\u2019t have its own place where the history can be preserved to celebrate. This museum will serve as the home of hip-hop history and culture for the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

As the \u201ccultural anchor\u201d of the Bronx Point development, Bucano said, the museum will instill a \u201csense of pride\u201d in the Bronx. \u201cBut also a sense of belonging,\u201d he said. \u201cHip-hop began here in the South Bronx by black and brown kids who were just looking to have fun and stay out of harm\u2019s way back in the \u201970s. And now this museum will provide educational resources, work force development and just a way to provide economic empowerment.\u201d<\/p>\n

While building a museum is no doubt a challenge in the middle of a global pandemic, Bucano said, \u201cWe\u2019re excited. Hip-hop has always had an innovative spirit, and the museum will continue in that creative fashion that hip-hop is known for.\u201d<\/p>\n
