When it comes to r&b & hip-hop artists, most people see Wiki-pages as lame or not the real deal, but will go to an artist's website, fan-site, bandcamp, twitter, etc. for all the info they want to know.

I will say when it comes to hip-hop magazines I was one of them who use to treasure them and still have 99% of every magazine I bought (Stress, URB, Rap Pages, Ego Trip, etc.) but actually doing scans & posting them up is just too much work when the people who actually owned & wrote for these magazines should be the ones that give a damn enough to do it, be that's just another excuse why I'm too lazy to do it I guess.

Also doesn't The Vault have all the info on Shelia E.'s Paisley Park releases anyway?
