Blaze Magazine was shut down by Vibe/Spin Ventures for consistently falling short in meeting advertising and circulation requirements. The June/July issue will be the last issue, with Mannie Fresh on one cover, the other with Swizz Beats. In October, Larry Flynt Publications also gave the ax to Rappages, but the magazine is scheduled to relaunch next month under a different publishing company. Many people questioned why Vibe Magazine launched a sister Magazine that was so similiar to Vibe. No word yet if the magazine will continue to operate their website, Blaze.com.
