Defunct Black/Urban Magazines

[kes1111]

Do you remember these magazines?

Ebony Man: EM (November, 1985 – January, 1998)

Blaze magazine the hard-core hip-hop title, targeted at 14 to 24-year-old readers, foldef after the June/July 2000 issue, Miller Publishing announced yesterday. Miller, also parent company of music magazines Vibe and Spin, spun off Blaze from Vibe in 1998 for a younger audience.

I was a LOYAL subscriber when i was in the military. I first got the mag when i was in Germany and had never been to a stripclub. Soon as i got back to the states i was on the hunt for the clubs i saw in the pic above MIRAGE, 701, been a wrap ever since

[Bumpee]

I just found that exact same Blaze magazine while i was cleaning out my closet. It was actually a pretty good magazine.

When this magazine went under it hurt. Best black magazine ever published. They cut no corners, spared no one who needed to be pen whipped and they always got the story right. I miss the hell out of this magazine.

Been in advertising for 15 yrs. I can get any magazine for free as part of the job. Emerge was the only publication I gave money to for a subscription. I was HEARTBROKEN when it went under.

You and me both man. Meanwhile were left with a revamped Jet and Ebony that still more cosmetic than substance.

 

[crossovernegro]

those pics are what turned me on to bgol way back when

i still have this copy too.

 

[ShortyCumStain]

Blaze was that shit.

 

[THE DRIZZY]

I have not seen a Players or a Pictorial(by Players magazine in years). The internet killed the magazine game. Black Tail is still holding on but it is not what it used to be before the internet porn explosion.

Great mag. Used to have every issue. Lord, the one with Kenya Moore, sigh...

 

[xcluesiv]

wasn't up on emerge can anyone post some e-links to some archived issues? would be appreciated

 

[jwilliam85]

My magazine game was crazy between 1997-2006, everything from hip-hop to automobile. My last subscription was to Complex.

Emerge and Code were excellent magazines, especially Emerge.

Players and Players Pictorial...man, listen... I used to get those magazines all the time...Players stopped about 2000, Pictorial in the mid-2000s...wish I hadn't thrown them away...if anybody knows where I can find old copies of these magazines, please let me know...

Also, I was mad when they stopped making the nude Jet calendars...

They stopped making those in the mid-eighties...anybody know where I can get these from? I've done search after search for these magazines and calendars, but I can't find them...

I remember this is the magazine I was thinking of when I found bgol...

I google searched Black Tail, Booty, Black Girls Naked, Freaknic and I think bgol was the like the third hit

I'm co-signing both of these as well. Code was the best lifestyle magazine ever aimed at black men. Quality articles of substance. Like a black GQ.

Emerge was a great political magazine. The closest thing to it right now that I know of is www.blackagendareport.com

I already work in the publishing industry, and I am seriously interested in working on a great digital magazine for black people. But honestly, I really don't think the audience is there.

De'Unique used to sponsor the Black Porn Awards in A.C.

Also I remember Black Tail because there was a stripper from North Jersey named Latin that was in it. She bragged about that for YEARS.
