Well friends, you can add VIBE Magazine to the very active list of the deceased.
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.
Danyel Smith
the former Chief Content Officer VIBE Media Group
& Editor in Chief, VIBE
I can’t take this right now. The publication that has inspired me for years is a wrap. Lord, what are you going to take next? McDonald’s Dollar Sweet Tea?!

I am officially over Droopy Drake and his sad eyes. I’m still trying to figure out how his crippled ass managed to snag such a prime slot on the Shame Negroes Worldwide Awards Sunday when he has no album, no video, and no Creole bravado. Well, one thing he does now have is an official label home.
After weeks of speculation, Drake has chosen to go with the home team and sign with Lil Wayne’s Young Money Records, according to a source close to the situation. The deal breaks down as a joint venture between Young Money and Cash Money, with Universal Republic distributing. Drake’s management was adamant that he should be viewed as an independent artist, although Universal will distribute the project. [ source ]
I won’t lie. There is a thread of me hidden deep somewhere that could grow into stan for for this dude, but until then I’m going to roll my eyes when people hype him up and illegally download his album from these Internet streets.

You all may consider this my coverage of this year’s BET Awards, and this is way more than that piece of shit show deserves. I’m not going to name all the reasons that BET Networks should be painting Satan’s toe nails in hell, because I’m liable to get upset all over again. However, if you’d like to drop your opinion on the festivities, feel free.

That’s right, lovers & friends! I am officially starting a Youtube Channel called, The Fury TV — excuse my unoriginality. I was going to wait until the fall, when I’ll get a better quality camera, but with all the people dropping dead these days I figured why wait. This webcam may be Bay Bay Bay (meaning ghetto [c] Kyle Washington), but I’m gonna make it work. Get your life!

My prayers and tears go out to the Jackson family and their friends.
Michael will be forever missed.

The Fantastic Voyage video that I’ve been waiting for has finally dropped. I will admit that this is one of my favorite songs by Ciara — the video, not so much. I caught a lot of our local Miami dance moves in there, which I appreciate, but I expected something different. Anyway, for a non-creole video it was cute and Ciara looked fabulous. Makes me wanna get a ponytail from Walgreens and swing it around on South Beach.
I don’t know what the fuck Missy had on, though.

Here’s the new cover for Keri Hilson’s next single, “Get Your Money Up”, which features Keyshia Cole and Trina (and Geisha and Frankie…in my head). I’m so proud of my Keri. To be honest, I never even thought the label would fund a fifth single for her. I mean, surely the cost of Kanye’s hair texturizers, prenatal vitamins, Sour Patch kids, and Ray-Bans from the last video were pretty damn high. Good for her.

Late at night I ask myself why Kyle Washington doesn’t have tickets to the EBT Awards…and why Geisha doesn’t have a major record deal. One topic at a time, though.
Kyle (aka Keisha) is on a hunt for his damn award show tickets and I think he’s getting close. You know Debra Lee rides around Tallahassee on a scooter with her Apple Bottom jeans sagging this time of year. You just have to find her and jump on that heifer’s back.

What, no Popeye’s coupons?
The Mistress of Jambalaya, Bebe Zahara Carter, promoted her new joint campaign with Feeding America called Show Your Helping Hand after her Madison Square Garden show yesterday. Fans can donate non-perishable food items (and money, honey) at all of Beyoncé’s tour stops and they will go to hungry Americans nationwide. That Knowles gal is so damn giving.
Now none of you MFs go to that show with sugar cubes and barley for Solange. I know how you mischievous little things can be.

For some reason, I can totally see Aunt Areefa Frankluhn singing this tune.
I don’t know why it took me so long to come across this video, but thanks to Bry’Nt for introducing it to me through Twitter. I’m tempted to walk around the corner and hit up the Mickey D’s dollar menu, just so I can blast this shit and Tread on Serpents with a Sweet Tea in hand.
