Vibe Magazine – April 2002 (Brandy Cover, Ol’ Dirty Bastard from Behind Bars)

A Piece of Vibe Magazine History

Brandy covers the April 2002 issue of Vibe, opening up about growing up in the spotlight, going vegan, and guarding the secret of her marriage. Inside, Ol’ Dirty Bastard reports from behind bars, Kelis plays the rebel with a cause, and a sprawling Hollywood package profiles the players remaking Black cinema, from producer Ice Cube and leading man Boris Kodjoe to rising stars Eva Mendes and Terrence Howard. The issue also marks ten years after the L.A. riots with a hard look back. A sharp snapshot of turn-of-the-century R&B, hip-hop, and culture from Vibe, the magazine that chronicled the soul and swagger of the era.
