Its a sad day for hip-hop as it’s been announced that Vibe Magazine has been purchased by SpinMedia. 

While it’s kind of a good thing, it’s sad because it means no more print magazines as they make their transition to becoming fully digital.

The Chicago Sun Times reports:

Vibe could follow the path of another landmark music magazine, SPIN, which Buzzmedia acquired last year. The company subsequently halted print production, opting instead for an online-only presence.

Vibe’s CEO Ari Horowitz went on to hint that online is the future by saying:

“Joining with SpinMedia will enable Vibe to continue to evolve and grow as a vibrant digital media brand.”

With that said, we’d like to celebrate Vibe. We all grew up on the magazine and it helped us learn what hip-hop truly is.

Here are some of the most iconic Vibe Magazine covers of all time.
