According to Starpulse.com, LL Cool J, T.I. and Young Jeezy are being honored for their involvement in the 2008 presidential election. They raised public awareness for this election making it the highest turn out in American election history. They will be recognized at the highly anticipated Hip Hop Inaugural Ball that will be taking place next month in Washington D.C. Russell Simmons had this to say about the black tie ball,
We are celebrating the Inauguration of Barack Obama as President of the United States. Hip-Hop is all about transformation and it is a thrill to help make and witness history.
I was very proud to see hip hop artists getting involved in this presidential election and I believe that it also showed them that their voices mean more than records and platinum chains. Using their voices for good I think will open doors for other things that they can do to get things in order. Kudos to hip hop!
Side Bar: I wonder if Diddy is mad that he's not getting recognized? You know how he gets...
