I will definitely miss Vibe. I have fond memories about reading the Vibe with Puff Daddy and Ma$e on the cover and marveling at the photography. I started reading Vibe at a freakishly young age and I still remember all the covers of the magazines I read and coveted.
Vibe was the only magazine that stayed halfway classy amidst other magazines like Murder Dog and The Source. Sadly, I stopped reading Vibe when they fell off a few years back, but I have very fond memories of how great it was in its heyday.
@JessaFields: I was going to say the same thing. She always struck me with her intelligent take on the rise of hip hop and it's influence on modern culture and the role of women within the hip hop world.
Apparently still to "urban" men, boring, long hairstyles and blonde highlights are Dope, yet anyone trying something new and original is Nope. Sad. I thought we were over this, my people! I mean, I know Cassie shaved her head just to get some media attention, but I really like how it looks on her. Now, how about showing some black women with the hair they were given at birth on their heads? That would Dope.
I disagree with the NOPEs on the pink hair and the shaved head. I've ALWAYS thought shaved heads on women were soo cool but I could never pull it off. I envy the Ambers and the Sineads of the world.
The picture of Houston was all sorts of disturbing.
Also, I love how they are complementing-not criticizing- the women in the bikinis. You know InTouch would have arrows pointing to the cellulite and such.
