Amber Rose covers the June/July issue of Vibe Magazine where they’re referring to her as “Sexy AND relevant” and you’d think she’d be happy about it.
I mean seriously… she’s famous for doing what exactly? Being Kanye’s muse?

Or perhaps her relationship with Wiz Khalifa is keeping her relevant. *shrug*
Whatever the case, the bald bombshell admits in her VIBE interview that Yeezy taught her but she’s not very happy about seeing the revelation in print!
Kanye would always tell me how beautiful I was and that I was going to be iconic. He always said that, ‘Baby, you are iconic. You don’t understand what you have.’ I didn’t. I didn’t understand it.

Peep Part I of the “The Untold Story of The Dungeon Family” which is featured in Vibe’s final issue. Will there be a Part II? Who knows… since Vibe Magazine folded and abruptly closed it’s doors a few weeks ago, it all falls on the shoulders of it’s founding father, Quincy Jones, who’s making an effort to save it:
“I’m trying to buy my magazine back now,” Jones told EbonyJet.com on Tuesday, according to an article posted on the Web site.
Vibe, one of the best-selling hip-hop magazines in the country, shut down on Tuesday. Its chief executive officer, Steve Aaron, said the magazine has a debt of “several millions of dollars” and also faced a declining market and decreased advertising revenue.
Jones, a music producer, said he envisioned an online-only future for Vibe. “They just messed my magazine all up, but I’m gonna get it back,” he said.
Jones established the magazine in 1993. It had a circulation of about 600,000, according to Aaron.
The closure eliminates jobs for all 48 staff members, Aaron said. The issue currently on newsstands, featuring Eminem on the cover, is Vibe’s last. (Source)
I’d do Part II my dayum self if I thought I could get all those knee-grows in one place again. Hmmm…. that’s a project I may have to work on.

Vibe Magazine recently released a top 50 list of their favorite hip hop blogs and it’s creating quite a buzz in the blog world. Granted….I have no idea the logic behind how these were chosen but I’m ecstatic that my boo/site designer Zillz made the cut, coming in at #38. I also agree with the #1 choice because Eskay is the undisputed hip hop blog king but since when did WorldStar Hip Hop become a blog? and why isn’t RealTalkNY on this list? Things that make you say hmmmmmm??
