New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio lost cool points when he didn't make an impromptu outdoor Kanye West concert happen at 2 a.m. But he's trying to make it up to the people of the Big Apple now.

NYC's dad did the thing that absolutely every politician should and recreated one of Kim Kardashian's Snapchats to get his message across 

Kim Kardashian dutifully documented Yeezy's attempts to make up his canceled Governors Ball set to the people of New York late Sunday night, including a phone call to the mayor.

Now de Blasio has responded and is trying to work things out and hopefully help out some of the city's kids. 

"Great block parties are planned," is not the coolest statement, but it's still nice that he reached out.
