Vibe magazine is closing.
On behalf the VIBE CONTENT staff (the best in this business), it is with great sadness, and with heads held high, that we leave the building today. We were assigning and editing a Michael Jackson tribute issue when we got the news. It’s a tragic week in overall, but as the doors of VIBE Media Group close, on the eve of the magazine’s sixteenth anniversary, it’s a sad day for music, for hip hop in particular, and for the millions of readers and users who have loved and who continue to love the VIBE brand. We thank you, we have served you with joy, pride and excellence, and we will miss you.

Sad face.
Ironically this PS3 Basketball game I got last week comes with a free 1-year subscription to Vibe magazine.
I guess it's too late to take them on that offer, huh?
That blows
so….?
dude, noone gives a shit about vibe, hell even vibe hated vibe.
NOSA!! Thats crazyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Good thing Obama was elected to fix things in a matter of months. Oh wait, things are getting worse!! You dumb FUC*S, you get what you deserve
LOL like black robots can read!!!
I don't read vibe anyways. Just black people read it, right? Haha…
This is an outrage! I'm seriously pissed now.

Sorry - why is this sad? If it's sad because people are out of work, then yes it is. If it's sad because Vibe isn't publishing…then not so sad.

the Obama recession lives according to the fed. reserve the Bush recession was on course to end by Feb. but the Obama stimulus (spending) program sent the economy into a tailspin.
I'd bet you're never picked one up, let alone flipped through it or read it….
of course its one of the good music mags. thats all that seems to be closing.
and hate to ruin it for some of you, but not just black ppl read vibe. you all need to grow up.
=( nooooooooo! *sob* *snifff*
that sux……maybe if the "black entertainment" didn't focus only on black people they may still be solvent……HEAR THAT B.E.T.!!!!!

i used to watch BET until ever other word outta everyone's mouth on that channel was some racist comment about white people……..
I'm black and i didn't even read vibe lol. Oh well!
Vibe is my favorite mag and it doesn't just focus on black people. you would know that if you ever read it. Eminem was named the best rapper alive by the magazine readers.
fuck 'em… hip hop sucks ass
Racist ppl shouldn't be able to comment. What does being black have to do with anything? If US Weekly "died," Black ppl wouldn't leave messages saying that only white ppl read it and no one cared about the magazine. Ppl need to stop hating and realize the facts. VIBE wouldn't have survived 15 years if it wasn't a successful magazine. Ppl need to see it as a popular magazine that ran out of time. I'm not black and I loved the magazine; it gave me insight to celebs that get over looked by the media.
Oh no!!! what r all the ghetto children going to read now? and what magazine is going to put Feminen on the cover now??? aaaaaw so sad!! not! LMAO!!!
PS: Feminen's comeback is BIG F_ING BUST, so happy about that!
i used to get vibe, it was a ghetto mag
Re: RobPnMeShouldB – oh didnt you get the memo? It's totally socially acceptable for black people to be racist against whites, DUH!!!
Re: buck – THAT has absolutely NOTHING to do with this Article. Shut the fuck up.
I know one Mag that will NEVER close… King, too many broke ass men w/o women who get NO play, haha.
racis mother fuckers.
Who cares?
AWW THIS SUCKS! I love this magazine.
aww, that really sux
Vibe was my fave mag…
Vibe? Never heard of it….googling….
Ok, so I am into indie/rock. No wonder I have never heard it.
Idc. Poor Vibe.
Good. Maybe this mean the end of cRAP is near…
Re: JenLovesMen – Racist. Its cool though…MY PRESIDENT IS BLACK!!!!
Vibe magazine always looked so trashy compared to the others at the supermarket. Good riddance.
You can thank your pal B. Hussein Obama again. He is deliberately destroying the country. This is no accident. Things are going to get much worse. Much, much worse!
