Years ago, the music editor at GlobalGrind was a fact-checker at VIBE Magazine. For those who don’t know what a fact checker is, it is someone who has to verify every single fact written in a magazine. Sometimes these facts include the spelling of names.


A properly spelled album cover with Swizz Beatz’s name on it

Well one time, during the final round of pages, the GG Music Editor was brought into his supervisor’s office and handed over a page with Swizz’s name on it. At the end of the last name, there was a big red circle around the letter ‘s’ and a line extending from the circle with a big, capital ‘Z’ in even darker red. The GG Music Editor was then given copies of Swizz Beatz’s solo albums and told to study them, closely, and was if he ever let Swizz Beatz’ with an ‘S’ at the end get by him agaiin, he would be fired.

The GG Music Editor brings this up to say if you go to the next page and look at the new cover art for Kanye West’s ‘Power (Remix)’, you will see why Kanye should clearly fire someone on his team. Kanye says he sometimes gets emotional over fonts? He should get emotional over typos.
