After 53 years of heartbreak, the New York Knicks are finally NBA champions again. Overall, this is a major achievement for the franchise, but more importantly, it is a triumph for the entire city.
It is an especially triumphant time for hip-hop. The last time the Knicks won the championship, the city quite literally invented the culture. That said, it only makes sense that some of the Knicks' biggest hip-hop-adjacent fans would get their very own float in today's parade.
Fat Joe was one of the organizers of this, and as you will see below, some massive legends will be part of this occasion. For instance, Wu-Tang Clan, Mary J. Blige, Remy Ma, and even The Lox will be on the float. It just goes to show how much this championship has meant to everyone in the city.
