Even though Robin Thicke has been labeled a “blue-eyed-soul artist,” joining the ranks of Jon B (where's he been?) and Justin Timberdouche, his blue-eyed soulness wasn’t enough to get on the cover of Vibe Magazine. According Robin Thicke, the magazine has a strict policy against having “white” artists on the cover !
While promoting his forthcoming album earlier this summer, an interview with Vibe went wrong according to the “Magic” singer. During the interview Thicke reportedly asked why he could not cover an issue of the magazine — their response “We don’t put white artists on our covers..”
Since the release of his breakthrough album “The Evolution of Robin Thicke” featuring the hit singles “Lost Without You” and “Can You Believe,” which both charted well on the R&B and pop charts, Thicke has garnered quite a following amongst R&B and Soul music fans. So what’s up with the cold shoulder from Vibe ?
Recalling the situation with Vibe Thicke says “This is a magazine I love. If there’s one magazine that I’d want to be on the cover of, it’s Vibe. 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.”
Maybe the reason Eminem made the cover is because he was a much BIGGER artist at the time. Or someone in his camp sucks some good dick.
