Behind The Scenes: Young Jeezy "Circulate" Video Directed By Terry Richardson.

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: I sincerely wanted to hold off on posting this video until Monday, however, 48 hours in "blog time" is like a lifetime ... seriously, stories go b-a-d faster online than a Gucci Mane freestyle on Shade 45 ... lol. Anyway, I can't believe that Young Jeezy's next video will be directed by 1 of my favorite photographers ever, the paragon of the Polaroid© snapshot, Terry Richardson. I mean, Terry Richardson doesn't even direct music videos like that, let alone Hip Hop videos.

Word up, I don't even know if Jeezy is really aware of this, but, whomever is guiding his career has just landed the triple Axel jump of Hip Hop marketing - successfully cross-referencing Young Jeezy's "Thug Motivation" brand with Belvedere Vodka and the Heroin-Chic glitterati galaxy of high fashion, art and Bellini's - all without sacrificing any of his in-the-streets integrity.

Yes, Kanye West would swear off sunglasses for a week and Jay-Z would cut his hair for this kind of look right here ... lol. How cool is this Terry Richardson directed video for "Circulate" going to be Y.O.U. ask? Very. This is Livestyle.
