Vibe Magazine Ignite 2010: “From The Block To The Blogs”

Before the BET Hip-Hop Awards Weekend in Atlanta, Vibe Magazine held its “From The Block To The Blogs” event on Friday at the W Downtown. Esteemed Journalist, hip-hop historians, rappers, digital media strategist and ivy league intellectuals came together for a one of a kind dialogue. The topic of discussion range from engaging our youth to vote, the influence of social media to the role of corporate investment in our community and government regulation of the internet. Internet Neutrality was the hot topic of the day and everyone agreed it would not be in the best interest for corporation to be given more control over internet access.

X-Clan member Paradise Gray spoke exclusively with Rasha Entertainment about what he felt were pertinent issues that need to be address in our community. Paradise is a community organizer and Hip-Hop historian as well as founding member of The Black Watch Movement.
