Man, miss me with the fake Jay and B quotes already. Headlines. Some of you sites will do anything for attention and traffic. You really believed B would speak to Star magazine? Tuck your tabloid in. And why would Hov need to write a letter to his daughter? Bitch please. He wrote a song! It's called "Glory" and it's pretty fuckin' revealing. He went on the record (double entendre) but you still don't get it. You may hear baby Blue's first cries but no you don't know her height, weight or what she looks like. And no you ain't gettin' a flick, fool. Can new parents get some privacy? Even if they are celebrities. Sheesh! Who raised you animals? Party at the 40/40. Paps outside. Rushin' the velvet rope. Don't trip over your integrity.You Played Yourself
Put us here if you like. The RR store stays open 24/7. SOPA? Yeah we Showcase Our Product Always. And we're gonna continue straight ahead til somebody up there turns out the lights. Start from scratch? I'm not afraid.

No way!
Print media is dead… No ad rev, info to slow who’s next??
Rest in piss.
very sad times. i pray that danyel smith will be able to move on to something bigger and better. at least she has yn in her life. this powercouple will make it through these tough times. they will serve as an inspiration to us all. love is the message and the answer. and rest in peace mj!!!! what a terrible time
Oh well… another shitty mag goes down the tubes. I guess Dany will be blogging on RapRadar now…
Black Web 2.0 Just did an audio interview with Vibe’s Danyel Smith, and interestingly enough she argued that print wasn’t dead, it was just “challenged”. Were those young whipper snappers at Black Web 2.0 right? You be the judge. http://bit.ly/5xbSf
Vibe was the corniest, most watered down uninformed magazine out their. No one cared about their reviews or stories, and that issue with the top 50 blogs was like a eulogy. Seriously think about print media praising new media. Good Bye. I guess Rap Radar has 5 or 10 more new “guest bloggers”
A great magazine, lead by a great woman, is lost. Mainstream America needed this magazine. It provided a bridge between the “inside” and the rest of us. Those on the inside of the community are going to feel the pinch… in more ways than one.
r.i.p. vibe, sad they didn’t get to do a Michael jackson tribute issue.
