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.

Jay Calls Game a Groupie

“We’re all flawed human beings,” Jay told Westwood. “All a person can do is apologize…Everyone should be allowed to make mistakes, it happens. That [BET gossip] is the silliest rumor I ever heard…I was really sitting back and watching all these suckers comment ’cause you don’t comment on rumors…That’s not even my style. If I got a problem with Chris Brown, I got a problem with Chris Brown. I haven’t said anything live or behind the scenes. I don’t agree with what he did, that’s it. But as far as not letting him perform at the BET Awards, come on, that’s stupid, that’s a sucker move…I didn’t do it and I wouldn’t do it, that’s not how I deal with my problems, through using BET or record companies…I like the game, the game is changing all the time, I’ve been dominating the game. Now tell me exactly what I said, tell me exactly what I said. I said, ‘I’m not talking about…’ is that a diss? I’m not talking about you. ‘Oh you hurt my feelings…’ Tell groupie to get over it. If that’s a diss, wear that. Tell groupie to get over it.” (Tim Westwood TV)

Long Live The King!

I know many of my readers have probably been wondering why it has taken so long for me to even acknowledge the passing of the worlds biggest star ever. It is almost like losing a member of the family. Until yesterday which marked the final rest for our fallen star, it was not a reality in my world. I never even took a look at Michael Jackson's memorial as if not watching would make it go away. Though I believe no one in my generation will go without missing him I will not say goodbye, but I will say thank you. Thank you Michael Jackson for the Moon Walk. Thank you for grabbing your crotch in the face of mainstream media. Thank you for the endless and timeless hits. Last but not least, thank you for your inspiration.

The list could go on for ever and you would probably keep reading. So with these words I say LONG LIVE THE KING!!!

Big City Philadelphia Strikes Again

A couple months ago he killed us with the How to Rob A Hipster song that did big numbers on the blogs and earned the Philadelphia native a front page spot on Philly.com. But it doesn't stop there; Big City is just getting started in my eyes after hearing this new jab of words and comedic video clip.

Big City Mixtape

I was listening to Jay-Z’s interview with Angie Martinez (HOT 97 FM) and heard him say, “Babe Ruth had Yankee stadium and Hov has Summer Jam”. And then I stumbled across this video on http://nahright.com/news/ Funny how T-Pain shows his ass on stage and does his little tap dance. I know Jay-Z was like, ‘where is security when you need them’

The crowd seems to be pleased with placing flowers on the tombstone of the dearly departed, but a few rapper’s feathers were ruffled.
