HIP HOP HALL OF FAME

Plans have been announced for the building of a Hip Hop Hall of Fame, scheduled to open in New York in 2018.

The non-profit organisation plan to construct a 20-storey building on Harlem’s 125th Street – home also to the legendary Apollo Theatre - that will include a museum, café, concert space, gift shop, and eventually a five-star hotel and sports bar.

The target amount sought to raise is $150m, and contributors are invited to donate via the Hip Hop Hall of Fame’s website.

 

Who would you put into the Hip Hop Hall of Fame? Who should be left out?
