Brooklyn, New York resident LeRoy McCarthy has started a petition to name the intersection of Ludlow and Rivington streets in Manhattan after the Beastie Boys, as per dnainfo.com.
That intersection was featured on the cover art of the Beastie Boys’ 1989 album, Paul’s Boutique.
“I think the Beastie Boys represent New York in a certain way,” said LeRoy McCarthy, 46, according to dnainfo.com. “They grew up here. They are New Yorkers.”
McCarthy says he has nearly 20 signatures and that he wants to give his proposal to Community Board 3 soon, dnainfo.com says.
Earlier this year, McCarthy launched a petition to have the intersection of St. James Place and Fulton Street in Brooklyn, New York to be co-named Christopher Wallace Way to honor The Notorious B.I.G.
A Queens intersection was named “Run-DMC JMJ Way” in 2009 after Run DMC and its DJ, Jam Master Jay.
McCarthy says he wants to see a Rap act recognized in every borough, the dnainfo story says. McCarthy is looking into honor the Wu-Tang Clan in the Park Hill neighborhood of the group’s native Staten Island.

MOST OVERRATED GROUP IN THE WORLD!!!!!
overrated but atleast they made it possible for Eminem!
20 signatures? Haha. Working hard for the money.
Would be good to give the boys a corner though, represent.
Dead ass tho what’s the point of renaming streets or adding that ‘2nd name’ nobody going call it by the new name. Look at NY nobody call 125 MLK Blvd or the Triboro the RFK. I know for damn sure nobody calling 205 n Hollis Run DMC Way. Wasting money on dumb shit. How about petitioning for the city to fix these damn potholes
LOL at niggas wasting time on tryin to rename a fuckin corner
Why don’t they name the corner after some pimp or something like that?
