For its 20th anniversary Vibe Magazine will offer three different cover and one of them is the Hip Hop legend Nas and J. Cole gracing one cover of VIBE magazine’s 20th anniversary. VIBE TV was on set for Nas and J. Cole’s epic cover shoot, stalking the lyrical miracles around the Manhattan photo studio. Peep the video above for some words on the cover shoot experience.
Twenty years ago, Quincy Jones went on a mission. Ever since the legendary producer launched VIBE in 1993 (following a test issue in ’92), Q’s dream publication has been the cornerstone of a culture, cranking out iconic stories and snapshots, from hip-hop to soul to hollywood, fashion and politics. Now, it’s time to toast and two-step.
And who better to jump-start the party than Robin Thicke and Janelle Monáe. While Thicke, in all his falsetto glory, has finally hit a professional climax — landing his first No. 1 album, ‘Blurred Lines,’ and a chart-topping single (see album title) — Janelle continues her own progressive path toward greatness. So we paired up Mr. Blue-Eyed Soul and the eccentric lady to help VIBE celebrate 20 strong years, Head to VIBE for the full cover story.
Daft Punk appearing with music genius Pharrell Williams rocking Saint Laurent and bringing that disco feeling back, have a look below at the behind the scene of the shooting trio for the 20th anniversary of Vibe Magazine.
