More sad news for the Hip Hop nation.  Vibe Magazine is closing for good.  Founded by the great Quincy Jones (and Time Warner) 15 years ago, is coming to an end.  The print magazine advertisers have not been spending like they used to.  Vibe tried it’s hardest to get more investers to save itself, but couldn’t find any takers.  Vibe started out soft, bland and no competition for The Source and XXL Magazine.  As the Source and XXL went through it’s changes (most of them bad) Vibe stepped up it’s game and actually surpased the two other magazines as far as content.  Vibe always had the look though.  So this we’re regarding this as another sad death in the Hip Hop world becasue Vibe Magazine always seemed like a part of us.  Vibe was actually doing 800,000 plus magazine sales per month but it’s the advertising money that killed it.  Well it’s been a long run, buy the last copy on the shelves and save it.  Hey, isn’t Keyshia Cole fine as a muthaf***ah?!?
