T.I. And Keyshia Cole Get Out The Vote Today

Atlanta rapper T.I. (above with Ludacris facing him) and local R&B singer Keyshia Cole are scheduled to be in Philadelphia today, where they will join hip-hop mogul Jay-Z on the “Respect My Vote! Get Out The Vote” bus tour stops.

The initiative is an effort of the Hip-Hop Caucus and the Hip-Hop Summit Action Network to get first-time voters, in particular, to the polls for the Nov. 4 election. The bus tour includes concerts and campuses across the country, with fellow Atlantan T-Pain, Busta Rhymes and Angela and Vanessa Simmons appearing at some of the events as well.

Today’s event starts at 3:30 at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia.

Have you attended such an event because a celebrity was there? And since this is the morning after, and millions have surely seen it now, what do you think of the BET Hip-Hop Awards taking such a political tone?
