Happy Valentine's Day 2012 AKA The "Play Smarter" Gospel According To Chris Live.

(NOTE: Yup, my nigga Ralph Wiggum definitely knows what time it is!)

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: My ill feelings towards the ruthless corporatization that has fiendishly transmuted the once holy St. Valentine's Day into simply yet another hallmark of Hallmark® greeting card avirice aside, I still got maaaaaaaaad L.O.V.E. for this holiday! Allow me to break it down homie.

See, where most men render a sad Pavlovian-like "heart-shaped box of chocolate accompanied by a requisite bouquet of flowers" response to this intimacy-by-proof-of-purchase (NOTE: NOT to be confused with ye "oldest profession in the world" ... @ least ideally ... lol) impetus, I, on the other hand, enjoy taking this opportunity to let the woman in my life know just how special to me she is and doing so in a special way. And, please be clear, this is most certainly NOT about going on a spending spree. In fact, on the real, I might fuck around and spend even less than usual today.

Why? Because, my idea of romance is a brilliant mixture of thoughtfulness and timing. I'm not out here trying to just carelessly hurl my trusty Louis Vuitton Damier print wallet into the price gouger's pit and overpay for some random ass generic gift! Nahh shorty, I'm trying to show Y.O.U. that I pay attention ... and that's what's truly priceless.  L.O.V.E. should be a 24/7, 365 thing ... Valentine's Day is just the All-Star Game baby ... lol.  Can Y.O.U. dig it?  Y.O.U. can?  Good,  I knew that Y.O.U. could AND that Y.O.U. would.  Now, make daddy proud.  This is Livestyle!

Download Link: Nicholas Capaldi - The Art of Deception: How To: Win An Argument, Defend A Case, Recognize A Fallacy, See Through Deception, Persuade A Skeptic, Turn Defeat Into Victory

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Understandably, whereas some might impulsively dismiss this book as little more than a malicious manual chock-full of manipulative drivel designed to capitalize on our collective distrust and passively reinforce our worst fears of one another, I prefer to view this bestseller a bit differently.

To be sure, if placed in the wrong hands, the lessons contained in Nicholas Capaldi's 1987 classic "The Art of Deception: How To: Win An Argument, Defend A Case, Recognize A Fallacy, See Through Deception, Persuade A Skeptic, Turn Defeat Into Victory" could easily be used as an abusive intellectual weapon, however, if applied thoughtfully - and with good measure - I believe could prove equally invaluable to those of us whom strategically employ varying degrees of persuasion on a daily basis as a matter of cognitive social reasoning. Some people call it "game", but I just call it understanding.

I have not read 1 page of this book YET, but I'm finna to press "PLAY" full force on this audiobook and let the good times roll! Now, who's ready for some Michael And Ping's-grade tasty food for thought? Holla @ ya boy in BK!

Rick Ross Ft. Birdman - Yella Diamonds (Official Music Video)

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Ehhh, whilst I'm not a huge fan of subtitles in general and, in the case of this particular video the bordering-on-offensive yet admittedly phonetically expedient explanation of the character "José"'s presumably impenetrable "Spanglish" dialect by means of such delineation, it is nice to see that, for once, Señor Rozay DIDN'T automatically speed-dial Meek Mill and instead scrolled further down the M.M.G. contact list to holla @ Gunplay, Torch and x________________________ (Insert name of 3rd "Nobody-Knows-Who-The-Fuck-He-Is-And-That's-Extra-Wack-Because-Niggas-Barely-Know-Who-The-Fuck-Gunplay-And-Torch-Are" Triple C's member here) for a look in this clip. It is what it is. This visual is still shittin' on my nigga "Young Jizzle With The Stamp In The Middle"'s "OJ" flop ... and that's precisely the type of shit that DEmotivates the thugs ... lol. "BAAAAAAAAAAAAWSE!"

Rick Ross Ft. Birdman - Yella Diamonds (Official Music Video)(Trailer)(Premieres Tomorrow @ 3:05PM @ XXLMAG.Com)

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: "You know we roll up like Jamaican niggas ... no marijuana, talkin bout killin' these hatin' niggas/The time is now fuck all the waiting, nigguh ... I can't hold back all these Haitian NIGGUHS!" "Wooooooooooooooooop!" "BAAAAAAAAAAAAWSE!"

Nipsey Hussle - Rosé Clique (Official Music Video)

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: "Played out pussy ... please don't offer me no/If sex was a weapon she could not kill a mosquito ..." Wooooooooooooooooo! This is some serious gang affiliated greatness right here boys and girls ... lol.  

Although having sadly, for much of the mixtape, made the mistake of following the botched from the gate "NEW AND IMPROVED"(?) West Coast sonic blueprint of Kendrick "All Internet Hype" Lamar, T.he M.arathon C.ontinues still does have it's moments and "Rosé Clique" is most definitely 1 of them. Good shit!

The Champs Are Here (AGAIN)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: I had almost every intention of joining the hundreds of thousands and dare I say MILLIONS of New York Giants fans along the sacred concrete path that winds through the stretch of this beloved metropolis christened the "Canyon Of Heroes" to greet our returning champs, but, alas, the comfort of my own bed won out against the prospect of jumping on the iron horse @ 9AM and fighting for a suitable spot along the victory parade route. Hey, don't judge me. I might not have braved the blue and red ticker tape blizzard of streamers and way-too-drunk-way-too-early dreamers this morning, but niggas already know that it's "Big Blue" all day, everyday on this side homie! I tip my Mitchell & Ness vintage N.Y. Giants skully to Eli "Elite" Manning, the "Man With The Hands", Mario Manningham, Jean Pierre-Paul (NOTE: Y.O.U. down with J.P.P.?), Ahmad Bradshaw and the whole entire team! Oh yeah, *Cue Tupac "Hit 'Em Up" Voice* Fuck New England as a staff, record label and as a muthafuckin' crew! LOL. "CRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZ!"

Young Jeezy Ft. Fabolous x Jadakiss - O.J. (Official Music Video)

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Ladies and gentlemen, I am going to go on record right now and declare this video a crime against humanity. There is absolutely NO reason that a song this good should have a video this cheap. SMH. They look like they shot this video with the budget of an unemployment check.

Look, we live in a day and age where this nigga Rick Ross keeps his chubby paws on the trigger and is easily letting go like 4 high quality visuals per month for mere freestyles and mixtape joints(!) and still Mr. "Trap Or Die" himself, the blow baron moving white stones like Sharon (NOTE: Yup! I still got my bars up nigga!), "Young Jizzle With The Stamp In The Middle" appears content to just #KanyeShrug his way through life and drop colossal White Castle® burger fueled crappola on the world like this!? Nahh, yo this shit can't rock ... and Young Jeezy is my muthafuckin' man! Ayo! Word up, that wack ass red light effect alone should have made this whole production shutdown EARLY! Whatevs. It is what it is.

"Get Up! Get Up! Get Up! Cash Your Checks And Come On!"

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Strictly as a matter of self-governance, and only in accordance with my own strongly held values and beliefs, I have always made it a point when publishing entries to this esteemed blog to not take the easy way out; to consistently scuttle the obvious in favor of something more inventive. To that end, although I have been gettin' my blog on for years, I have never posted this Bone Thugs-N-Harmony classic "1st Of Tha Month" on an actual 1st of the month ... Lol. Today that's all about to change. Fuck failed GOP candidate Hermain Cain and his "flat tax" plan, these Cleveland boys been living that "East 19-9-9-9-9" life! Happy Black History Month! "Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!"

Sonic For Hire: Tecmo Bowl™ = Hilarious! (NOTE: Especially For My Old Heads)

Live From Australia: Tony Hawk Interviews Odd Future During The "Big Day Out" Tour @ Tony Hawk's Dissent TV.

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER: Hey, everybody knows that Odd Future et. al. is all "Kool And The Gang" with me, but they should be the 2nd reason that ANYBODY watches this video. No, please be crystal fucking clear that the REAL story here is that Tony Hawk spared precious minutes of his life to even interview these amateur anarchists/hobby sk8rs at all.

If Y.O.U. only know Tony Hawk from his numerous endorsements and his hugely successful video game franchise, but know nothing of his historic tenure with Powell-Peralta® as general of the Bones Brigade and why he is unequivocally the Michael Jordan of skateboarding, Y.O.U. are truly, truly a highly pitiable lost young soul.  SMH. In the profound words of one Rick Ross: "It's deeper than rap". Respect the architects.

The Uniform Experiment Double Hooded Trench Coat For Spring 2012 = Modern Trench Warfare.

"The trench coat is a timeless jacket are here is a reinterpretation of the classic trench coat by uniform experiment from their soon to launch Spring/Summer 2012 collection. At first glance, the sky blue vertical zipper on the chest jumps right out, a common detail borrowed from outdoor jackets. Apart from the aforementioned detail, the Hooded Double Trench Coat retains its traditional silhouette. Highly durable cotton gabardine fabric is used to construct the navy colored coat and it is fitted with a large, detachable hood. Buckles and buttons are all color coordinated for a unified look, while a single silver chain loop stand out on the waist. This piece can be ordered through NOA’S ARK online shop in Japan."

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Try as I must to be an ever forward thinking individual, alas, at least for today, I am undeniably a creature of the moment. This morning is still bathroom-floor-too-cold status, but the sun is strong and, according to my PIX11 Morning News forecast (NOTE: Gracias Lisa Matteo!), we're due for yet another round of mild sauce come the middle of this week. This entire Winter season has been unseasonably friendly, however, woven into the fabric of this more than welcome weather pattern has been some rain, but anybody who knows me knows that I am NOT one to complain. Nope., I'm a go getter homie. I am results oriented.

Now, with that in mind and with specific regard to the weather, when it gets a little damp and chilly outside I don't trip, I just reach for my trusty trench coat. In (FUN) fact, what was originally viewed as simply a wise adult addition to my wardrobe has since become a beloved staple of my tout ensemble ... and I think that I might have found a worthy heir to the throne in this stunning Japanese export. That having been said, allow me to enthusiastically introduce to Y.O.U. the Uniform Experiment Double Hooded Trench Coat for Spring 2012.

Cardinal to fully appreciating the Livestyle fly minded philosophy and, indeed, a cornerstone of this democratic charismatic authority, is a willingness to look far beyond the "now" coupled with an innate ability to embrace both the old and the new in a generation-defying, trend defiling group hug. And this mack daddy mackintosh invites Y.O.U. to do just that!

Leave it to Hiroshi Fujiwara (NOTE: The founder of Fragment Design) and partner Hirofumi Kiyonaga (NOTE: The founder of the $500USD hoody pushing SOPHNET) to know exactly how to spike this conservative punch with just the right amount of Tokyo streetwear flair. Aside from the sky blue vertical zipper providing a burst of color to the chest, this trench remains piously true to the classic trench coat silhouette. However, it is precisely that lone break from the orthodoxy of proper rain coat religiousity that makes all of the difference in the world! I guess the Devil really is in the details. Act like Y.O.U. know bro. Respect this navy blue gabardine dream! This is Livestyle.
