T.I. will celebrate hip-hop's 50th anniversary at Essence Festival of Culture

T.I. definitely has some things he wants to do to celebrate the 50th anniversary of hip-hop this year.

Just don't ask him for any dates or details.

"I suck at planning things," he recently told CNN. "I'm just a horrible arranger of dates and schedules."

"Whatever I end up doing would probably be decided definitively, probably about two to three weeks out," he added. "But it will definitely be magnificent."

One thing he will be participating in, which does have the details nailed down, is the Essence Festival of Culture from June 29 through July 3 in New Orleans.

The event is billed as "the preeminent experience of all things Black." For the first time this year, the festival's evening concert series will feature all hip-hop headliners.

As one of the biggest rappers in hip-hop to come out of the South, T.I. will be part of a special performance curated by a fellow Atlanta, Georgia star, producer Jermaine Dupri.
