Kanye, Wyclef to Perform at 2008 Democratic Convention

Friday July 18, 2008

Some leading hip-hop artists have been invited to perform at this year's Democratic convention. Scheduled performers include the ever outspoken Kanye West, Wyclef Jean, and N.E.R.D. The convention, scheduled for Aug. 25th - 28th in Denver, Colorado, will also include actors Ben Affleck, Scarlett Johansson, Forrest Whittaker, and many more.

Without a doubt, hip-hop fans will be purely entertained by the artists taking the political stage. But don't expect the lyrics to be raw and uncut.
