The fight for the right to rename the intersection at Ludlow and Rivington as "Beastie Boys Square" is almost at an end.

After over five years of starts, stops and community board infighting, the corner of St. James Place and Fulton Street in Brooklyn was re-named in honor of The Notorious B.I.G. today.

'Wu-Tang Clan District was history in the making, and the dedication day was very emotional for me and many that were there.'

'With the success of Public Enemy Turnpike, Hip Hop will be on the map in Long Island.'

In its final meeting of the year, the New York City Council voted 48-0 to honor three music icons in their home boroughs.

'Wu-Tang Clan put Staten Island on the map trough hip-hop, and The Wu deserves to be recognized with a street named for them in Shoalin.'

Even if you fight for your right to rename intersections... it may not happen.
