Vibe Magazine has closed it's doors! Started in 1993 by Quincy Jones, Vibe was the pulse of hip-hop and will be truly missed. "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," said Danyel Smith, former Chief Content Officer of Vibe Media Group and Editor in Chief of Vibe.
"We were assigning and editing a Michael Jackson tribute issue when we got the news," Smith said in a statement released to AllHipHop.com. "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."
Thank you for all the years! I remember curling up and reading your issues while my baby slept. I remember keeping up with all the gossip, even if it was a month or so late. I'm going to miss your creativity and your honest reporting. I respect great journalism! Thanks for keeping it respectable.
