The end is here

for Vibe magazine. You can read below for more of the exclusive story. I am a little surprised though. Michael Jackson's will has been released and revealed. 50 Cent speaks on his fading popularity. Read on for the juice on these stories!

Vibe Magazine Kaput!

Vibe magazine, the urban-music magazine founded in 1993 by Quincy Jones, is the latest victim of the media recession. A source with knowledge of the situation tells DailyFinance that the staff has learned the magazine is ceasing publication, and an assistant in the office of editor in chief Danyel Smith confirmed the news. No further information was immediately available. A call to Vibe Media CEO Steve Aaron was not immediately returned, nor was a message left for Smith.

Vibe enjoyed significant success in the late '90s and early part of this decade as hip hop and R&B became the nation's predominant forms of pop music. But in recent years the title has fallen on hard times under its new owner, the Wicks Group, which bought it in 2006. In February, it reduced its circulation and publishing frequency, cut salaries and moved employees to a four-day workweek to save money.

Vibe had definitely went downhill over the years and many people can attest to that. I wasn't surprised when I read that King magazine was stopping publication. I am however very surprised to learn this about Vibe.

Michael Jackson's Will Revealed!

Michael Jackson's will, reportedly drafted in 2002, is said to divide his assets between his mother, three children and one or more charities. According to The Wall Street Journal, several sources close with the pop star said a lawyer for Jackson could submit the will - which is thought to be his last - to Los Angeles Superior Court on Thursday.

This story is still developing so the information above may change as it is somewhat unconfirmed. I did hear some of this story on TV too though.

50 Cent On His Fading Popularity!

Fiddy believes fans are quick to forget his history; getting caught up in whoever is hot at the moment. “What you’re talking about is who is a buzz,” he explained. “A buzz is a song. So the next song that I release can turn me back into what you feel like is the hottest thing out here. So I mean if I’m showing you full capability of it than what makes you doubt that.”

“We get those moments where people decide to doubt and I’m fine with it,” he adds. “You know and then they’ll change their mind and I’ll tell em suck my dick, kiss my ass and everything else at the same time because they decided to doubt for that small time period.”

50 Cent is definitely as outspoken as they come. The majority of the time he irks me with a lot of his comments. A lot of the time he just comes out of the woodworks making comments about other artists when he's not even asked about them. I will say 50 does have the right to his opinion and at the end of the day he is still the richest man in Hip-Hop. Nuff said!
