Media URB Magazine Going Online Only For Now (Meaning, We Fear, Forever)

Posted by Benjamin Sutton on Fri, Oct 2, 2009 at 5:00 PM

News came yesterday from MC Sage Francis, Byron Crawford and (eventually) Gawker that after the near demise of Vibe Magazine, URB Magazine, another, less glossy, more rap-focused "urban" music publication, is going online-only "for now."

Confirmation came today via the Urb Blog, which explains: "URB Magazine will be taking a few month hiatus from our print publication to focus on our digital adventures and re-group to offer a new print incarnation in 2010." Right, well, good luck with that whole re-grouping thing (seriously URB is great, I hope it survives).

It's become the virtual equivalent of your aunt's slides from her trip to the Pencil Museum.

This episode even had a penis. So it was very special indeed.

No, really, he's good. Look at all these photos of his paintings that he tweeted.

Some of these songs are happy and upbeat. Most are really depressing.
