VIBE Magazine - Thank god my subscription has run out

If I could give it a zero or negative rating I would. When VIBE was introduced, it was a relevant, interesting magazine that exposed me to new alternative, r&b and hip hop artists. The mag featured all kinds of artists not just who's hot right now, it also featured hard hitting expose articles that were relevant to not only the hip hop community but the world.

Lately I've noticed that it's nothing more than a fluffy version of The Source. I hate a lot of new rap music that's out and didn't appreciate mags with rappers I dislike on the cover. And is it me or does it seem like since Mimi took over, all of the female r&b singers' covers and stories are HORRIBLE (we won't even discuss that disgusting Brandy cover)!

This magazine SUCKS now and the only time I check it out is while I'm in line at the grocery store. Yes, the subscription rates are cut to the bone now but that is because the quality is supremely lacking. I'd advise the curious to check issues out at newstands or where ever before wasting your hard earned money on a subscription.

You can't beat the price

For the price Vibe is okay, but it lost it's sizzle somewhere during the last five years. I look forward to Vibe Vixen, perhaps it will stir up my interests again. True, there are a lot of ads now, but the articles are interesting. What I miss about the magazine is that it seems like they never "break" any news anymore. Perhaps it's the Internet's fault, but I remember a time when the details of an artists Vibe interview really created a buzz (like in 99 when Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes balked to Vibe her personal feelings about the "Fan Mail" album), but now everything is just pretty mediorcre with this magazine. It's also totally predictable. When someone they consider "hot" has a product coming out you know they will be on the cover, and when I saw Pharrell and Gwen Stefani on the cover I thought that was a bit of a stretch. It's still a good magazine but I find I enjoy Blender and Sister 2 Sister much better, but for the price I will continue to support this magazine.

VIBE has it going...

I'd been a long-time fan to VIBE since they been out. I 'member I first lay eyes on em by checking the covers on 'em but not reading by 'em. y'know. They such knockouts. Yeah they definitely keepin' it real no matter what. I believe they'll be around more and more since them magazines u read all the time like ESSENCE, EBONY and JET. I still have love for them also. But to say VIBE doesn't suck. I'd never been a subscriber since last year and I definitely enjoy it to this day. I actually read the XXL and Source magazine most often now. Same w/ Upscale, Campus Life, just to name others. I luv they magazine to death man, knahmsayin. Ya'll keep it rocked y'heard. Nobody's bringin' the hype on ya fellaz. Keep it UP!!!
