Rap tour of the year by far goes to Tyler, the Creator and A$AP Rocky. The only thing better than this tour might be that time Jay Z and Kanye toured together.

They never could have imagined that only years later, it would become ubiquitous in all studios as a music making tool that would remain in the spotlight for 30 years (and it's still going!).
