[R]Evolution of Hip Hop

A must see for every hip hop fan. I can’t wait for the big museum to open in 2024. This preview was amazing. Well curated, put together thoughtfully and with cool interactive touches. Shout out to the staff who were just as excited as I was about it.

This was such a unique experience. I enjoyed the historical approach to it and also the AI experience to suggest music. The software did have a bug in the end but I’m sure over time it’ll get better. As a hip hop fan who now lives in Amsterdam, this was truly a special exhibit to see. I can’t wait to visit the museum once it’s done! Thanks

This was a very cool, albeit small, museum. Lots of interesting exhibits. The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable and were happy to share stories about how some of the items were procured. We got through the museum in about 1 hour. I know the focus is on the evolution of hip hop from 1986-1990, but a little more early history would have been welcomed. Overall a worthwhile visit.

So, I was walking around the Bronx to find the museum, it´s a bit hard to find, but let me tell you:

IT´S SO WORTH LOOKING FOR!!

As someone who was breaking and spraying and roaming the streets in 84-86, it was such a cool trip down memory lane. Unfortunately, I dropped out of the then sub-culture when my best friend died just when the golden era began. But still, it´s a period in my life I will never forget, and thank you so much to the Universal Hip Hop Museum for keeping it alive.

I loved all the original mixtapes, the original contracts, autographs, clothing, letters, flyers and so much more. I felt like being part of history, all though in a very humble and small way.

Make sure you try their AI when you come around, it nailed it totally for me with Soweto by Pro Kid, which has been on repeat ever since.

One more thing, the guys at the museum was just so down to earth, welcoming, interested in my story and awesome ambassadors for the hip hop culture.

10 out of 10 stars from me!

PS: EXTRA BIG shouts out to Shawn LG Thomas for doing a radio drop with me, for calling Peter Nice right there to get background info on The Duke From Denmark and so much more!

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at uhhmuseum, I brought two best friends and was able to walk through the various exhibits and learn about Hip Hop from the 1980s-1985. The staff were terrific and provided us a guided walk through the displays. We learned all about the history, took pics, listened to music, and enjoyed interviews and technology pieces that made it so much more interactive than the standard museum experience. Definitely will be back and bringing more friends.
