NYC officials announced on Wednesday a $5.5 million investment for the Universal Hip Hop Museum in the Bronx.The museum's new facility will include several gallery spaces, a black box theater, interactive exhibits and administrative offices.
Adams contributed $2 million of the $5.5 million investment. Another $2 million was provided by Bronx Borough President Vanessa Gibson and $1.5 million was allocated by the City Council. "Whether you are in Co-op City or Canarsie, New Yorkers deserve the opportunity to learn about some of the unique cultures in their backyard," said Mayor Adams. "Hip Hop tells the story of this city and the Bronx so vividly. It tells life amid poverty and crime, of turning pain into purpose, of making it. That's why I'm proud to announce our administration's commitment of $2 million in new capital funding for the Universal Hip Hop Museum, alongside $3.
Too many homeless people in NYC to be investing in a museum.🤦🏾♂️
That museum will talk about everybody’s contributions except , Foundational Black Americans. Just wait & see!! FBA
aint nobody ask for this from a govt done tried to lock up every one of the 'exhibits' wayminute, russy russ is back? what happened to his sex cases? anyways, that adams dude is whole 🤡
‘Cause NYC has so much disposable income… 😂
How about investing more in NYC public schools instead!!
Because he couldn't figure out any more pressing needs for that money!
NYCMayor I am all for support of art but the city has way too many issues-crime, homelessness (poverty & mental health), waste management (rats), etc. etc…
KathyHochul this is what you allow out STATE tax dollars to be spent on while homeless, assault, rape, arson, murder are at all time highs? This is the priority for our tax dollars during a state wide CRISIS!! This is just another reason you’ll be voted out
The Bx is burning & he just wants to finish tearing it down. Schl’s & crime r the worst in this youngest borough & u want to bring more disorder. How about cleaning up the mess left by ur predecessor. Stop dumping on the Bx
When did the hood start trusting pigs
This Mayor’s priorities are fucked up…smh
Adams decides to announce this standing with rapist Russell Simmons. He is unserious
🤬
There is a big difference between WASTING and INVESTING 🙊
so hip hop is better than schools? great job
You'll donate some money but you'll cut the education budget. Smooth move!
Just what we need a fuckin hip hop museum
Opening a hip hop museum should solve crime in no time!!! 😂
Who Money?
You can’t be f’n serious smh
He wanna be a music producer so bad let it go lol
Why not Times Square… hip hop ok l got it..
Why is Montel Williams there?
While kids can’t pay for lunch and go to school hungry
Get stuff done … lol
Is the lack of a universal hip hop museum the biggest problem facing NYC or am I missing something…
I have no words 🤐
YESSSSSSSSS....
But does not have a dollar to put any money into New York City housing authority
He always focuses on unimportant matters. Money should be spend on making NYC a better place to live in.
hip hop museum really ppl are dying n being assaulted on these streets rich rappers should foot the bill n can easily
So NYCMayor contributed $2mil of the $5.5mil investment. Another $2 million was provided by bronxbp & $1.5 mil was allocated by the City Council.We have the $ for this when its absolutely needed in BX schools/communities. We love hip hop,but can't a hip hop great fund this? Wtf
Why the word universal in front of hip hop?
I love Hip Hop but don’t you think investing in our schools should come first? You can’t create lyrics without learning the alphabet first.
🙄
Who the fuck is paying for that BS?
Glad to see the Mayor has his priorities straight.
Fk no! 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🙅🏾♂️🙅🏾♂️
Wow. Such priorities. NYCMayor approval ratings slipping?
I live hip hop & all…but I think this money could be spent more wisely
What?
This dude is trash and lets not act like that pastor that got robbed a few days ago does not have connections with this...Mayor...allegedly...
if I was a member of this community I would be pissed....the world already see you as just rappers and basketball players and then you go and re-enforce those silly sideshows stereotypes. nOBODY IN THE CIVILISED WORLD WOULD WASTE such money in such theatrics
Will there be bikes lanes to the museum

Who’s footing the bill? Let’s put the money towards stopping crime in this shitshow city. You are worse than Diblasio
