53 years ago, hip-hop was born at a back-to-school party in the Bronx. Now, the Bronx School of Hip Hop is preparing a new generation of artists that will shape what comes next.
I sat down with @Nas to talk about the past, present, and future of hip-hop in NYC — from the turntables to our classrooms.
Getting a job working for NYC now may be just as simple as walking through the door.
Beginning October 5, NYC will have a walk-in center in Lower Manhattan where people can get help to directly apply or learn about the thousands of jobs NYC has to offer.

Since I talk about classic men's tailoring, I think some people assume that I believe every man should emerge from their home dressed like Cary Grant.
This is not my POV.
However, if you want to dress in a traditional manner, there are certain principles that govern how that look works. This makes it relatively easy for me to point out when self-described traditionalists fall short of their own standards — especially when they insist that tradition is the only legitimate framework for judging how people should live.
But I don't think that everyone should dress like Cary Grant (or, as the poster below accuses me of doing, "trying to recapture an old sense of aesthetic order"). Instead, my aesthetic view is closer to these clips from the wonderful Instagram account Yami, who goes around fashionable cities and asks people to name their favorite song. Each person is beautifully dressed using a distinct design language. They've tweaked that language at the margins to make it personal to them. But in this landscape, you can see a lot of variety.
This is quite distinct from the old aesthetic order, where everyone was forced into one form of dress, whether it actually expressed their identity or not. I do not want to live in that world; I prefer the one below.
