“…cool on food for thought, but for you I’m a starver…”-Lupe
…So as I listen to ex-editor in Chief Danyel Smith talk to Angela Yee about the end of VIBE. I can’t help but to wonder if this is something that we need to be concerned about. I mean quite frankly, over the years, it seems as though the magazine has turned into a over-glamorized ‘urban’ publication that once held the ‘meat and bones’ of content and as the latter seemed to be lacking….but then I counter my inquiry by giving VIBE magazine the credit that it deserves for being one of the leaders in ‘urban’ magazines and essentially bridging the gap of Hip-Hop and popular culture as we know it. Initially created by by Quincy Jones, the magazine who is now a ‘was’ used to be the ‘it’ of all ‘urban’ publications.
