Vibe, the hip-hop and r’n’b magazine which has presented an alternative take on a complicated scene since 1993, was this week announced as dead, with operations terminated immediately. But nobody appears to have told its founder, Quincy Jones, ahead of time, and he responded by saying the current owners have screwed it up and he wants it back! He told Ebonyjet "I'm trying to buy my magazine back now…they just messed my magazine all up, but I’m gonna get it back. You better believe it, I'm'a take it online because print and all that stuff is over." Yes, they’re going to go web based: “We gotta get into the 21st century you know…Print and all that stuff is over, we gotta remember that. They're over the same way as the record business. We have got to get into this century." The web can be a notoriously hard place to monetize content (not my term, but corporate America’s), but we wish a reborn Vibe well.
