Vibe Magazine R.I.P.

I was a charter subscriber to Vibe, and hung in there until the early 00's, when I noticed it started focusing more on Hip Hop artists, less on classic soul ones, and cutting back its reviews. Eventually the reviews were gone and so was I. It became even more of a fashion magazine than Rolling Stone. It's too bad, really. There aren't many Black music magazines worth buying. Most are hip-hop ones. You could try Wax Poetics. It's pricey but well done.
