In celebration of their 15th anniversary the Grammy Awards Academy is sponsoring a five city tour in which both major hip hop and R&B acts will perform.  Sean Kingston, Missy Elliot, Busta Rhymes, and Pitbull are just a few of the acts the Academy has set to perform.  The tour will make stops in the cities of Chicago, New York, Miami, Dallas and Los Angeles, with the kick off happening in Chicago tonight, April 3.

Tickets to the tour are limited and are only being offered through radio giveaways and the like. The reason for the tour is to celebrate the history of the Grammy’s and bridge the gap between two musical generations as expressed in this statement by Evan Greene, Chief Marketing Officer of The Recording Academy: "With this fantastic program, not only does The Recording Academy provide music fans an opportunity to help celebrate our 50th Anniversary, it also pays tribute to some of the artists that have played an important role in the Grammy Awards' meaningful history and gives rising stars a chance to be a part of that legacy."

Hmm…this is interesting to me. Isn’t this the same Academy that banned Hip Hop and denounced the art form as recently as like what 5 years ago? I remember when Jay and all them boycotted those shits not too long ago, now their all on Hip Hop’s dick. Whatever I guess as long as their cutting checks but it’s just funny how it seems like they need us now. Things done changed huh?
