After nearly a decade, the fight for the right to rename an intersection on the Lower East Side to 'Beastie Boys Square' is almost at an end.
LeRoy McCarthy and Councilmember Carlina Riverafirst presented his proposal to Manhattan's Community Board 3 to rename the corner of Ludlow Street and Rivington Street on the Lower East Side as "Beastie Boys Square."
Now, nine years later, the fight for the right to rename the intersection is almost at an end. This week, the City Council advanced the Beastie Boys' street naming, along with 78 others. Local politicians said they were confident it will be passed soon. "The Beastie Boys lived and breathed the Lower East Side as the Lower East Side lived and breathed the Beastie Boys," Marte said. "MCA, Ad-Rock and Mike D put this neighborhood on the hip-hop map not just by calling it their home, but putting it front and center on one of their top albums.
"Well, it's about time," he said. "The government officials who are now in office are more knowledgeable of hip-hop and the contribution that it has had over the years.

There's many millionaires from hip-hop, which started in New York City without any support from government officials.
