Perhaps you've been watching the recent ... [Nontroversies]
Perhaps you've been watching the recent semi-demi-hemi-kerfuffle involving Robin Thicke and Vibe magazine. Perhaps not. Here's the short version: Thicke wants to be on the mag's cover and was politely rebuffed. He mooned about it but seems to have accepted it, in a pouty sort of way, by claiming the mag doesn't allow whites on the cover, cheerfully ignoring the presences of Eminem, the Beastie Boys, Justin Timberlake, and others on Vibe's front. Today, Danyel Smith, Vibe's editor-in-chief, released a brief,

Robin Thicke Says Vibe Wouldn't Give Him The Cover Because He's White
Singer Robin Thicke, who saw commercial success in 2006 with the release of The Evolution Of Robin Thicke via Pharrell's Star Trak Records, recently revealed some of the struggles he's faced trying to make it in the music biz.Being that he's more R&B than pop, Thicke said crossing the color line has been a lot harder than many think. Via a recent interview with Billboard magazine, the singer told a story about how he was denied the cover of Vibe because of his skin color."When I did a recent interview w

Vibe to Robin Thicke: Y R U WHITE?
When I did a recent interview with Vibe magazine I asked, “Why can’t I get the cover? This is a magazine I love. If there’s one magazine that I’d want to be on the cover of, it’s Vibe.” Their response was they don’t have white artists on the cover; that the only white artist they’ve had on the cover was Eminem. I guess if that’s what it is, it is what it is. And I respect that because I live in a house with a black woman. I won’t use the word &ldq

Vibe's Policy That Keeps Most White Guys Off the Cover
Homosexual magazine Out gets a lot of shit for not putting more gays on the cover. (The latest Neil Patrick Harris cover being an exception.) There is, however, the worthwhile argument that there aren't enough high-profile gays with projects to promote to choose from every month, which means gay-friendly heteros get slapped on the cover instead. (There's also the argument a magazine like Out could raise the standings of under-the-radar gays to create more high-profile homos to feature.) But a mag

How Many Robin Thickes Does It Take?
Robin Thicke’s camp has released cover artwork for his third album release Something Else.  I can’t say it’s my favorite of the three, but the fact that he’s not straying from his Evolution of Robin Thicke theme of multiple, well, Robin Thickes, can’t be labeled too impractical (consider it achieved platinum status).  Shit, it got me to type his name three times in one paragraph. I still prefer the nude Paula Patton (his wife and recent baby muva) cover of his first album, t

Q&A: Thicke reflects on race, music and "Something Else"
LOS ANGELES (Billboard) - It's an unusually hot and humid summer night in Hollywood. A murmuring line of fans -- mostly women -- snakes around the Sunset Boulevard perimeter of the House of Blues. They're waiting for one thing and one thing only: Robin Thicke. Inside the crowded venue, women begin yelling as Thicke's band troops onstage to some James Brown funk and the announcer promises "a true soul experience." Then the whole room seems to undulate as Thicke bounds onstage and launches into his ne

“We have a great deal of respect for Robin Thicke and his music, and we remain flattered by his desire to be on a VIBE cover.

We wish Thicke the best, and we’re glad he discusses his thoughts on race and R&B in the new October 2008 issue of VIBE.” Translation: Robin get
