"Put your head in a Vice!"


I was downtown last weekend checkin and coppin' some new kicks (whats new?). Adam and I walked into Group Seven and just as I opened the door I happened to trip on a stack of something that seemed to scuff my shoe... It turned out to be a parcel of FREE magazines that said Vice on it. It said FREE so I said why not lets see what this mag has to offer. Vice magazine is a company runned by Suroosh Alvi, Shane Smith and Gavin McInnes. This mag is the opitomy of uncensored, insightful writing that rises out of the scum that most people read, recent mainstream magazines have more pictures and filler than the good ol' writing that was essential for a magazine :0. But Vice is different, yes it is free so yes there is alot of advertising but even the ad's are fuckin creative and get the less known companies out there. The mag usually opens with a Rant forum of people adding their two cents about previous issues. Which is probally the funniest part of the Vice. This issue was about Gangs and Cults around the world. Vice actually sent rep's to join and report various cults and gangs. One was sent to Houston to try and join the crips...Never got in... but these ruthless gangsta's were kind and ever dearing to lend a hand on showing their gang signs and threads they rock. I can Ramble on for hours about this one article, but I have to cover the greatest issue of a magazine since "FHM's Top 100 girls of the year."

This issue was last year and finished a close 2nd in my books... it was "The first annual Story of the Year Awards" Vice had kids around the world send their most funniest, scarriest and jaw dropping stories in for judging. Most were very very dope except for one which a girl tells a story about her bf breaking up with her ass. Weak shit.

Anyways put your head into a vice and cop this mag when your downtown crusin', shoppin', or just doin your thang. and ask them if they have any more issues of "story of the year's" left.

My personal favorite is the Spenny story... Real funny shit

Vice has been doing it big for over 5 years now I believe. Their free mag always kills it every month! There's a vice store headed over in Toronto if you're in the neighborhood check it out, you won't be dissapointed. I think Vice is originally from Canada but it is now stationed throughout the entire world! If you can find it get the issue from 2 months ago, it's the Storys issue and some of the stories are just unbelievable!
P.S. The best article in this months mag is about the white guy who was an honourary member of the crips for about a year. Some pretty crazy shit!
