Fresh off the heels of the Grammy’s 50th-anniversary tribute to hip-hop, another major celebration is on the way.<\/p>\n

On August 11th, a two-hour Grammy-branded special will be taped in the Bronx to commemorate the official 50th anniversary of hip-hop, which CBS will later broadcast.<\/p>\n

Billboard reports that Questlove, who curated the Grammy tribute, and Jesse Collins, an executive producer of the Grammys, will be involved.<\/p>\n

A source claimed that the tribute was already being planned before the Grammys show. LL COOL J, who helped to host the tribute, hinted that there was more to come even before it began, as did Harvey Mason Jr., the CEO of the Recording Academy.<\/p>\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n

Mason acknowledged that Hip Hop has had a significant impact on our culture for over five decades, not just in music but also in art, fashion, sport, politics, and society. He expressed his pride in honoring this essential genre of music on the Grammy stage, and noted that it was just the beginning of a year-long celebration of Hip Hop’s contributions.<\/p>\n

While names of hip-hop acts were prominently featured in the backdrop of the star-studded set, Questlove has confirmed that there will be more. When asked about artists who were excluded from the Grammy Awards tribute, he replied that some acts were already booked, declined the offer, or would be included in the two-hour taping in August.<\/p>\n

As of now, there’s no official word on who will be featured in the August taping, but it promises to be an all-star salute to the 50th anniversary of hip-hop. The August special will be broadcast by CBS, adding to the year-long celebration of this essential genre of music.<\/p>\n

If the Grammy Awards tribute to hip-hop left you wanting more, you’re in luck. A two-hour, Grammy-branded special will tape on August 11, which marks the 50th anniversary of the birth of hip-hop culture.<\/p>\n

The show will be produced by Jesse Collins, an executive producer of the Grammy Awards, and Questlove, who curated the 15-minute spot during the Grammy Awards. Later this year, CBS will broadcast a special.<\/p>\n

An anonymous source claims that the special was already in the works before the Grammy Awards telecast. The head of the Recording Academy, Harvey Mason Jr., alluded to the upcoming special in a statement he made regarding the telecast segment.<\/p>\n

He emphasized the significance of hip hop, stating that it has been a defining force in music and a major influence on culture, contributing to art, fashion, sport, politics, and society.<\/p>\n

Mason expressed his joy about the upcoming special and the beginning of a year-long celebration of hip-hop on the Grammy stage.<\/p>\n
