Quincy Jones is distraught that VIBE, the urban interest magazine he founded in 1993, folded on Tuesday, after nearly 16 years in the business. The music mogul and superproducers says he may attempt to buy back the brand he created but later sold — but don’t expect VIBE to return as a print magazine.

Q’s looking to take over the web.

“I’m trying to buy my magazine back now,” the star — who is still recovering from the death of his dear friend Michael Jackson — told EbonyJet.com in a Tuesday phone call. “They just messed my magazine all up, but I’m gonna get it back. You better believe it, I’m’a take it online because print and all that stuff is over.”

“We gotta get into the 21st century you know,” he added. “Print and all that stuff is over, we gotta remember that. The Chicago Tribune, The Seattle Post Intelligencer. The Miami Herald. They’re over the same way as the record business. We have got to get into this century.”
