Word Up! (magazine)
Word Up! was an American magazine focusing on teen entertainment and music. The magazine was part of Enoble Media Group. Its main focuses were African-American teen singers, rappers, models, and prodigies. The magazine came out monthly and usually had many posters and contests for fans of famous "To Die For" celebrities. It was very popular in the 1980s. The magazine mostly covered information concerning rap, Hip-hop and R&B music. The headquarters was in Paramus, New Jersey.
In Fall 2006, Run-D.M.C.'s Rev Run's daughter Angela Simmons had a mini mag with Word Up called Angela's Rundown. It was to generate interest and give Angela her own spin off magazine. In November 2007 Word Up printed Angela's own stand alone magazine that had Bow Wow, Omarion, and herself on the cover.
As of 2012, Word Up has ceased publication. The last dated issue was April 2012.
Trivia
Rapper The Notorious B.I.G. referenced the magazine in his song "Juicy". He opens with the line "It was all a dream, I used to read Word Up magazine". He then refers to a specific photo appearing in the magazine portraying Salt N Pepa in a limousine with Heavy D. The line also appears in Jay-Z's song, "Dream". This line was also used in the Tamar Braxton song "The One".

Word Up
by: CameoYo, pretty ladies around the world
Got a weird thing to show you, so tell all the boys and girls
Tell your brother, your sister and your mamma too
'Cause they?re about to throw down and you'll know just what to do
Wave your hands in the air like you don't care
Glide by the people as they start to look and stare
Do your dance, do your dance, do your dance quick mamma
Come on baby, tell me what's the word
Word up, everybody say
When you hear the call, you?ve got to get it underway
Word up, it's the code word
No matter where you say it, you?ll know that you'll be heard now
All you sucker DJ's who think you're fly
There's got to be a reason and we know the reason why
You try to put on those airs and act real cool
But ya got to realize that you're acting like fools
If there's music, we can use it, we need to dance
We don't have the time for psychological romance
No romance, no romance, no romance for me, mamma
Come on baby, tell me what's the word
Word up, everybody say
When you hear the call, you've got to get it underway
Dial 'L' for Low
[Incomprehensible]
Do your dance, do your dance
[Incomprehensible]
Do your dance, do do do do your dance, do your dance
Check it, baby
Do do do, do your dance, do your dance
Say like that
Say like that
[Incomprehensible]
Every body is gonna [Incomprehensible]
C?mon, all you people say
W O R D up
