It’s tricky. Tricky, tricky, tricky.

The fight to extend Madison Square Garden’s special permit to operate above Pennsylvania Station is attracting the attention of hip-hop royalty as the City Council prepares to vote on the measure.

Darryl McDaniels, the lead singer of the legendary Queens hip-hop group Run-DMC, offered his full-throated support to MSG owner James Dolan’s bid that lawmakers renew his license to operate the facility at full capacity.

“You can’t move the Great Pyramids, you can’t move the Statue of Liberty,” McDaniels wrote Friday in a column published by an Upper East Side community paper, Our Town. “These are icons. Madison Square Garden is no different.”

Barring an extraordinary change of heart, the Council is expected to give the MSG a new permit for another decade.

Dolan’s family, which owns the Garden, wants the license extended indefinitely – the same is true for the local bars and restaurants that benefit from the arena’s 19,500-capacity seating.

Joined by the Manhattan Chamber of Commerce, the local businesses made a last-minute appeal to the council to extend the permit, according to the West Side Spirit community paper.

But “Move the Garden” advocates insist the Council limit a permit renewal to three years.

Many state elected officials, community board members, and urban planners argue that the only way to create a better transit hub is by taking “The World’s Largest Arena” off the top of it.

Monday’s proceedings will start with a vote by the council’s zoning subcommittee, followed by a 3:30 zoning committee meeting.

The full City Council will not vote on the permit until its next meeting on Sept. 14.
