Lawd, here go Chris Brown mouthing off again. Chris … son. We know you’re mad but sometimes you’ve gotta just let stuff ride, especially when you’ve been given a second chance. Chris recently went in on VIBE Magazine, who recently featured him on the cover of their December 09/January 10 issue (on stands now). Check this out:
“I think with the whole VIBE and the rebirth, I think it is a rebirth of me and showing people the new side of me, the music side, the talent and just the changed person,” Brown told reporter Renada Romain. “I think with the actual VIBE cover, it was never supposed to be talked about like the cover they made. That wasn’t what we discussed — the shirt is actually just a plain black shirt and they stamped ‘R U Still Down’ on it, so the cover was supposed to be the rebirth cover of VIBE and the rebirth of Chris Brown. It was never supposed to be ‘Everybody Hates Chris, Everybody Loves Drake‘ like, the type of thing like that. I kinda felt a certain way when they did it like that and they kinda told me one thing and they got it in writing, one thing, but then they did it another way…I appreciate any cover, I just don’t appreciate them using my situation…”

C’mon man just be glad somebody’s putting you on their cover. From this point on you just need to accept things for what they are and charge it to the game. Give people time to vent. Stop taking every opportunity for YOUR time to vent. Geez… LOL.

Here are some scans of Lil Wayne (and Los Angeles Laker Kobe Bryant) in the December 2009/January 2010 issue of VIBE Magazine, on stands and in circulation now.
Initial reports suggested that Wayne would be portraying Jesus Christ in a voice over role in T-Pain’s upcoming Cartoon Network special called the “Return of Freaknik.” But TV execs have clarified his role and said that he won’t be playing the role of biblical figure Jesus Christ after all.
TV bosses have laughed off reports Lil Wayne is set to play Jesus Christ in a new animated show, insisting his character simply shares his name with the Son of God. It was recently announced the star would lend his voice to “Return of Freaknik,” a one-hour special being produced for America’s Adult Swim network by fellow rapper T-Pain.
Earlier reports suggested Wayne would play Jesus Christ, but TV bosses insist his character is an up-and-coming rapper called Jesus.
A spokesperson for the network explains, “Lil Wayne’s character is still evolving. All we can say is that he is named Jesus and not Jesus Christ.”

The 23-year-old emcee recently spoke with MTV News and told them he was going through a personal and professional evolution.
“I’m learning about myself. That’s what my music is about,” he said recently. “I don’t necessarily know all the time who Drake is. I take it day by day and learn as much as I can about myself. As I learn, I choose to share with my fans. I’m just an artist that isn’t scared of being open.”
Drake says being in front of the camera on “Degrassi” as an adolescent has helped him open up musically.
“My journey, as far as growing into a man, is shared with the people. My whole life is like that. I grew up on TV, I’ve always become accustomed to sharing my life with the world. At least now I get to do it in my own words … so I’m not a character. I have a little more grasp on who I am. I’m more eager to share it now. Me growing into an artist is me growing into a man.”

Former stripper Amber Rose has definitely made a name for herself ever since she has been boo’d up with Kanye West, but don’t let that take away from her many accomplishments … like landing a full fashion spread in VIBE Magazine’s December 2009/January 2010 comeback issue (the one with Drake and Chris Brown on the alternate covers). More scans when you continue reading…
VIBE Magazine is back and is kicking off their quarterly series of print issues with someone who is also going a comeback of his own: R&B/pop entertain Chris Brown, who also shares the honor with up and coming rapper Drake. This marks one of Chris Brown’s biggest covers since the February 2009 assault incident with his girlfriend at the time, fellow R&B/pop sensation Rihanna.
Brown is on the verge of releasing his third studio album Graffiti. The album hits stores next Tuesday (Dec 8th). Vibe’s tagline for Chris’ issue on their website is “Everybody Hates Chris” but will it hold true? Does everybody really case? Or have most forgiven him and will give him a second chance to make a change? We have! Have you?

Drake is facing off with Chris Brown on the cover of the December 2009 issue of Vibe Magazine. Drake is “Unstoppable” and everybody loves him, hence Vibe’s tagline: “Everybody loves Drake.” Chris’ tagline is ironically “Everybody hates Chris.”
Hit up Vibe.com for a behind the scenes look at Drake’s cover shoot.
It sounds like R&B/pop entertainer Chris Brown and the iconic hip-hop magazine we all know and love as VIBE Magazine are teaming up to resurrect each other. Chris will cover the magazine’s official “come back issue,” out December 8th. ]
Hip-hop newcomer Drake will also have a shot at being a part of VIBE history as he has the alternate cover of the winter issue.
In the meantime, VIBE has released this one picture of Chris and no, this is not his cover shot. That should be making its way to the front pages of all the blogs shortly though.
It look as though Vibe Magazine is going to be making a big comeback in online form, All Hip Hop reports. According to the immensely popular hip-hop site, one of the biggest hip-hop/R&B magazine’s to ever exist has been purchased by a New York City based private equity investment firm known as InterMedia Partners.
Vibe was founded by music legend Quincy Jones and media giant Time Warner back in the early 1990s, but they failed to keep up with the changing market when they were purchased by Wicks Group of Companies, which ultimately caused them to announce their sudden closure back in June 2009. But since the Vibe brand is so strong, Intermedia Partners and its portfolio company Uptown Media Group hope that a carefully strategized re-launch will bring the magazine back on top.
“Vibe is the preeminent brand in R&B and Hip-Hop. We feel privileged to purchase and resurrect such a storied brand,” explained David Koff, a Senior Partner at InterMedia Partners. “Together with the re-launch of Soul Train this fall and the rapid expansion of Uptown Magazine, a reinvigorated Vibe enables us to serve a broad spectrum of the African American audience with high quality entertainment and information.”
