Hip Hop Til Infinity: An Immersive Trip Across 50 Years Tickets

The 360° audiovisual part at the end was amazing! This alone made the visit worthwhile, but the rest of the exhibit didn't measure up to the event description. Most of the "displays"mentioned in the event promo turned out to be small assortments of memorabilia – some of it artfully displayed and others just on a pedestal under glass, but all of it lacking much in the way of description. It would be meaningful to include more information, similar to the type of details you’d see with items in a museum. Instead of a “history” of hip hop, as advertised, it was more like a bunch of stuff was set out to look at as you made your way to the audiovisual part at the end. It was honestly boring to walk through these displays that lacked anything significant to connect it all. I agree with other reviews that having louder music throughout (not just at the end) would have helped the whole atmosphere. There were a few highlights, including a Death Row Records chair that you could pose in and a display of fabulous photographs of various artists. But again, these things would be enhanced if there had been more accompanying info. The fabulous 360° film & music experience at the end touched on the history that was lacking in the rest of the exhibit, but each segment was short so it didn’t get too detailed. If the exhibit leading up to this last part had included details and the “history” context that was advertised, it could have all come together to create a worthwhile experience.

The Hip Hop Immersion Exhibit at 49 Chambers Street was very Enlightening

The exhibit did a good job of fitting in the high points of hip hop. I appreciated the exhibit on Ralph McDaniels and Video Music Box and the history of DJing with Quest Love. Mad Skills did a phenomenal job on the journey of hip hop from the Bronx to worldwide. I felt as though something was missing though. Hip Hop has four pillars, the DJ, the MC, graffiti, and breakdancing. The exhibit tried to touch on all of it but I wish there was a little more on the graffiti and breakdancing (unless I just missed it). Those parts deserve a little more light in the history of hip hop. Otherwise it was an enjoyable experience.

The show was well-done...it laid down a good abridged version of hip-hop from its birth, thru its adolescent stage, to its global hegemony stage. I was there to witness the birth from jams in the parks...hookin up wires to telephone poles...to Run n dem takin it mainstream...to Kris and dem teachin Black pride n knowledge of self...to Cube n dem showing how fed up they were...to the Golden Age of the 90s...to the rise of the Dirty South...to the internet age...and up to drill. The changing sound of the music merely indicates cultural growth...no need for older generations to hate on the younger generations. Our collective impact is something to marvel at and take pride in...this show made that clear!

This was a dope experience I couldn’t have asked for a better time . This is something I will always remember and cherish

My bf and I really enjoyed the exhibition. We're both old Hip Hop fans, so the exhibition was like taking a walk down memory lane. I learned new things about the genre ( the roots are from Jamaica) that I hadn't known, which was very cool. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly and the dynamic space a joy to be in. My only complaint is that a little literature or explanation on what we were seeing would have been helpful. There was an overview of the exhibition at the entrance, but I didn't know what to expect and that the video downstairs was very different from the one upstairs. It also would have been great if the names of the folks being interviewed were repeated each time they appeared on screen. For those of us who started watching the video, in the middle, knowing who was speaking would have been nice. And lastly, where was Cool Herc?, I thought for sure we'd get to hear his side of the story, but we never did. It was still a fantastic exhibition, and I am glad we went.

Huge gaps in the Hip Hop history narrative likely due to licensing issues. Felt very incomplete. Wu-Tang is for the children!

Love it !!! Amazing !!! Loved the video music box volt !!

Since it’s the 50th anniversary of Hip-Hop, I was hoping for more. For example, there wasn’t a “Females Of Hip-Hop” section or a “Who Are Your Top 5 Artists Of All Time” section. It was very general but great visuals! The display was amazing! I just wish it was more interactive with the fans.

It was like no other event I enjoyed everything I told my friends they really missed out this time maybe next time I tell them something's great gonna be in the city they will be ready but enough about them I Had An Amazing Time
