Titles of HipHop/RnB magazines

State five music magazine titles and discuss what their names signals in relation to the magazine.

Vibe

This name suggests a new 'vibe' to the genre of Hip Hop and RnB where the audience can relate to the music whilst feeling this 'vibe'.

XXL

'XXL' is an abbreviation for 'Extra extra large’; implying the huge amount of content within the magazine, therefore the reader would be kept entertained and interested and may want to purchase the next issue.

Flavour

This magazine focuses on RnB rather than Hip Hop. The title suggests a new flavour towards RnB, which can attract an audience who are interested in this genre. The word 'Flavour' is generally associated with somebody’s preference or as some may say, 'taste'; therefore the magazine could be targeted at people who prefer to listen RnB as opposed to other genres.

The Source

This title immediately suggests a source which informs the reader and they can gather information from it. Therefore, considering the title name, 'The Source' may be a magazine of which the reader is informed about new artist's and what is current in the music industry.

Respect

Respect is a term associated with authority and dominance, and possibly hierarchy. Therefore, in relation to the magazine, the title 'Respect' suggests that the reader may gain respect from the featured artists in the magazine.
