VIBE is a very popular music magazine and covers many famous artists such as T.I and Lil Wayne, the connotation of the magazine is shown clearly to be a hip hop/RnB genre magazine. vibe is a music and entertainment magazine founded by producer Quincy Jones, he decided to produce a magazine to feature just R&B and hip-hop music artists, actors and other entertainers. The magazine's target audience is purely young, urban followers of the hip-hop culture."an issue of Vibe Magazine is published every-other month with double covers and a wide range of information, entertainment and news inside".
Quincy Jones launched Vibe in 1993, with the help from Time Inc. Originally, the magazine had been called Volume before the co-founding editor, Scott Poulson-Bryant gave it the name Vibe.
Vibe Magazine is known for its creative front covers. R&B singer Mary J. Blige repeatedly made the cover of Vibe. Trio TLC were photographed for the cover also. And the first non-photograph cover of Vibe was an illustration of late singer Aaliyah, this was Aaliyah's very first appearance on the cover.
Inside the magazine there would include several pages of photo spreads showing just designer clothing as well as sportswear by urban labels& designers. This is key to why many people who enjoy this percific type of music would dress in a certain way (urban like).
