Vibe February Cover (Kanye West)

Lowkey threw up a couple of excerpts from the cover story over at his plantation. Here’s Ye talking about his recent run-ins with the paparazzi and the suggestion that he’s a violent person:
“I haven’t done anything violent. They make it seem like I actually went and hit the paparazzi. I haven’t. I was restrained. I’m good at restraining myself from committing violent acts. I know how to control my temper. That one paparazzo made it a bigger deal. I just put my hand up and he felt like he had more right to my personal space than I did. I put my hand up to stop him from shooting me.”
Also, Vibe check out Vibe’s playlist of Yeezy’s 10 Worst Songs.

The mob smashed the windows at Creative African Braids on 14th Street, and a woman walked out of the shop holding a baby in her arms.
“This is our business,” shouted Leemu Topka, the black owner of the salon she started four years ago. “This is our shop. This is what you call a protest?”
Wednesday night’s vandalism victims had nothing to do with the shooting death by a BART police officer of Oscar Grant on New Year’s Day - but that did little to sway the mob.
“I feel like the night is going great,” said Nia Sykes, 24, of San Francisco, one of the demonstrators. “I feel like Oakland should make some noise. This is how we need to fight back. It’s for the murder of a black male.”
Sykes, who is black, had little sympathy for the owner of Creative African Braids.
“She should be glad she just lost her business and not her life,” Sykes said. She added that she did have one worry for the night: “I just hope nobody gets shot or killed.”

hip-hop never had the equivalent of like a wall street journal or a barrons. it’s sad. source was truly the shit for a minute but it lost all relevance after a while. there has never been that singular go-to source for the last word on shit. maybe it’s a product of the culture but more than likely, it’s a product of nobody willing to make a real, legitimate investment in creating a periodical of the highest quality covering this music and culture. in my opinion, if someone could raise money and do it, it would be a very worthwhile investment
