I'm down for good music for a good cause but this ain't the case. The homie Sha from MTV hit me with a question yesterday I dreaded goin' on the record about: How do I feel about hip-hop artists being included in the "We Are The World" remake? Geez, I guess we've come long way since 1985. I don't think you could do it any other way than include our culture which is the pulse of pop culture. But instead of feeling any type of validation, I feel disgust. Seriously, a complete remake of the original song? Celine Dion gettin' her Cyndi Lauper on? Lil Wayne as Bob Dylan? Fuck outta here. Didn't I see Will.I.Am in the flicks? They could gave that nigga an hour plus a pen and a pad and I'm sure he'd come up with something cheesy for no small fee but for free. I'm truly scared to hear what the final product is gonna sound like. Are we really gonna hear the soothing vocals of Nipsey Hussle in the final mix? Highly doubt it. Damn, it's the thought that counts but this just doesn't feel right. Shame on a couple of legendary nuhs named Lionel Richie and Quincy Jones. MJ is turning over in his oxygen tank. You Played Yourself
You know you done fucked up, don't you? You know it, don't you? You know you done fucked up.

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.
