Jimmy Kimmel x Usher Dedicate A Song To The "Benchwarmers" = Hilarious!
CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: S/O to ALL of the unsung heroes (READ: Bums) that park their kiesters on the bench all season long.
Yes, this goes out to those that ride the pine collecting a check, swinging their unused bone-dry NBA team logo towels in the air and waiting with outstretched hand and baited breath praying to be acknowledged with a generous and self-validating "dap" from their respective team's star player as he heads back to the sideline after a knocking down yet another game winning bucket ... lol! Yup, benchwarmers are pretty awesome ... in a really NOT awesome @ all kind of way ... lol. I see Y.O.U. Luke Walton and Brian Scalabrine! "The bench would be cold without you ... BENCHWARMER!"

The Über Limited Edition Vacheron Constantin Overseas Chronograph Perpetual Calendar “Boutiques Exclusive” = Sporty Spice.
"Vacheron Constantin released an Overseas Perpetual Calendar Chronograph. This is the first ‘high complications’ in the Overseas collection and immediately a superb looking one. Sporty, complicated and sophisticated.
The Overseas is Vacheron Constantin’s ‘sporty’ collection and up till now existed of three versions, the ‘normal’ Overseas (time and date), the Overseas Dual Time (well, the name explains the complication) and the Overseas Chronograph featuring a big date. This new Vacheron Constantin combines two complications, a perpetual calendar and a chronograph. Gosh… I really like it!
The Overseas Perpetual Calendar Chronograph is exclusively for the Vacheron Constantin boutiques and comes in a steel case with a titanium bezel. Earlier I blogged about the Overseas Steel and Titanium collection. The Steel and Titanium models were added to the Overseas collection in 2009, featuring a slate grey dial and come on a grey alligator leather or rubber straps.
All models in the Overseas collection come in a generous 42 mm case that is water-resistant to 15 bar (approximately 150 metres). The steel case incorporates a soft iron cage protecting the mechanical movement from magnetic fields. The screw-down caseback features a medallion engraved with the famous Amerigo Vespucci three-masted sailing ship. If you think this ship looks familiar, you’re correct. It was also engraved on the case back of the Panerai PAM 82 – Amerigo Vespucci.
Inside the Overseas collection ticks calibre 1136 QP, comprising of no less than 228 parts. The automatic caliber beats at 21,600 vibrations per hour and has a power reserve of 40 hours. The movement also powers the chronograph as well as the perpetual calendar indicating the day of the week, the date, and the month (on a 48-year cycle), complete with leap-year display and moon phases.
The Overseas Chronograph Perpetual Calendar “Boutiques Exclusive” is delivered with two straps: one in black vulcanised rubber and the other in dark grey alligator leather with a folding clasp.
Only 80 pieces will be available in the 27 Vacheron Constantin boutiques worldwide. The price is around 41,000 CHF before tax."

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Occasionally, a heretofore unexplored combination of elements will come together so staggeringly brilliantly that it forces all onlookers to ask in a collective gasp of awe, "Why hadn't they done this sooner!?". I mean, that's exactly how I felt upon laying my eyes on the brand new Vacheron Constantin Overseas Chronograph Perpetual Calendar “Boutiques Exclusive”.
In what now clearly seems like a "no brainer" move, the talented timekeeping tinkerers @ this legendary Swiss Manufacture d'horlogerie (NOTE: That's stuffy French talk for "Watchmaking manufacturer" to Y.O.U. suckaaaaaaaas! LOL.) have taken the bold, yet instantly recognizable as practical, step of pairing 2 master complications - a perpetual calendar and a chronograph - for this sporty prestige watch.
Limited to a diminutively short run of a mere 80 watches to strictly be sold in the 27 Vacheron Constantin boutiques worldwide, this 42mm wide, brushed steel and titanium bezeled beauty could very well be a progressive watch collector's dream come true ... If they can get their hands on it ... lol. Good shit!

Fat Joe - Drop A Body (Official Music Video)
CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Can somebody please tell me who this skinny guy is swimming in a pair of size W48 jeans covering Fat Joe's verses for him in this video? Excuse me *Chris Live AKA Shaker receives an important memo from the Livestyle newsroom*. Ummmm, well, I stand corrected. Apparently that IS indeed Fat Joe - post Atkins™ Diet - starring in this clip ... lol. On the real though, it's looking like Joey "Cooked Crills" is going to have to start demanding that his custis smoke that crack in the other room my nigga.
Look, I am ALL for my brothers and sisters shedding the oppressive albatross of obesity that sends so many of our people to an early grave, but come the fuck on! Niggas is taking these Zumba classes waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too far. Somebody get this man a chuleta ASAP! LOL.

Nispey Hussle - Keys To The City (Official Music Video)(Directed By Dan The Man)
CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Big S/O to my brother-from-another-mother Mandalay Jay AKA Mandalay McConaughey for putting me up on the homie Nipsey Hussle awhile back (NOTE: A little over 2 years ago to be exact) and relentlessly knocking his latest mixtape "The Marathon". Word up, 99.9% of these new rappers just don't move me ... so I don't even waste my most valuable time checking for niggas like that anymore. Thankfully, Nipsey Hussle is consistently a welcome exception.
Yup, just like Mr. "Young Jizzle With The Stamp In The Middle" himself, the "Slauson Boy" is an expert in crafting compelling soundtracks for those of us that slow grind it out and know how to survive a drought. "OMG! I'm ill as shit. Money is my medicine. Shout out to my niggas in the pen text messaging ..." Wooooooooooo! Act like Y.O.U. know bro. Good shit!

The Nike Air Max 90's (Wolf Grey/Blue) For Summer 2011 = A Good Look For All My 90's Crimeys!
"Take a look at the latest Air Max 90 set to release. No, this pair doesn’t feature Hyperfuse as some of the previous editions that we’ve reviewed had. Instead, these have a rather normal construction of mesh and leather. White, blue, and grey take the realms of the colorway, providing a nice blend for the overall look of the shoe. Nike Sportswear locations are expected to stock up on these in July so check for them there or Crooked Tongues."

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: As high minded and far reaching as my many interests are, deep down I'm really just a Brooklyn boy @ heart whom truly does appreciate the simple pleasures that life has to offer. The finer things don't necessarily have to be astronomically priced designer things. Case In Point: These Nike Air Max 90's (Wolf Grey/Blue) for Summer 2011.
Honestly, there's nothing new here (NOTE: Besides the colorway which is a dead ringer for the O.G. Brooklyn Dodgers jersey flag), however, as with many retros, it is precisely that understated nostalgiac familiarity which makes a Fulton Street/Albee Square Mall (R.I.P.) veteran such as myself reveal a brilliant Colgate® brushed slum gold FRONTS (NOTE: "Grills" baby? Word? I thought we cleared this up years ago. SMH. Y.O.U. must be fresh off the farm ma.) smile whenever I see kicks like these. Yup, I like walks in the park, quiet dinners, great conversation AND classic sneakers ... lol. This is Livestyle.

Sooooooooooooooo, Yeah, Hot 97 Summer Jam 2011 Happened Yesterday. This Is What Y.O.U. x I Missed.
Uno.
Dos.
Tres.
Quatro.
CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Not to be completely outdone by such niggerific shennanigans as Memorial Day Weekend in Miami and Black Bike Weekend in Myrtle Beach,SC, we in the NYC Tri-State area have our very own annual Hot 97 Summer Jam (NOTE: Which is promptly followed up next weekend by the annual National Puerto Rican Day Parade - a caliente mess of irresponsibly spandexed mamis, fly tetas and more! Yes, June is one H-E-Double-Hockey-Sticks of a month in New York City. Word to the ghost of Freaknik ... lol) @ New Jersey's brand new Meadowlands Arena. As the scent of weed wafted from the bleachers and the sounds of Hip Hop's curent heavyweights blared from the speakers, for 1 night @ least - this year - ALL in attendance got to pretend that DJ Mister Cee is NOT a stone cold homosexual and that all was right with the world ... lol.
Lil Wayne and his YMCMB team of tax write-offs (NOTE: Excluding Drake (Who was there) and Nicki Minaj (Who was in absentia from her hometown concert due to a scheduling conflict that saw everybody's favorite "Mattel® "Booty Shot" Barbie®" poppin' her pink plastic @ the 2011 MTV Movie Awards) headlined the show while a braless Señor Rozay and his extra lidocaine cut cohorts hit the stage for the 2nd biggest set of the night. Above are some of the highlights. Enjoy!

NEW MUSIC: Rick Ross Ft. Meek Mill x Gunplay - Finals (Young Jeezy Diss)(Dirty)(NO DJ)
Streaming Audio/Download Link: Rick Ross Ft. Meek Mills x Gunplay - Finals (Young Jeezy Diss)(Dirty)(NO DJ)
CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Sooooooooooooooooo, following Young Jeezy's somewhat triumphant return (NOTE: He's still searching for that 1-hitter-quitter single my nigga.) with his long awaited DJ Drama hosted mixtape "The Real Is Back" where he declared on the intro of the same name, "Man, these niggas lying all on tracks ... all on wax. We don't wanna hear your imagination, just state facts ..." amongst other implied disses intended for Rick Ross, the "Bawse" kind of had to respond. Señor Rozay's retort of sorts comes today via the incindiary internet drop "Finals" featuring Meek Mill and Gunplay.
Be forewarned though, everybody's still pussy footing around this so-called rap "beef", so all you're going to hear towards the end of this song from Mr. "I think I'm Big Meech!" is a whole lot of "Fuck bwoy"'s sent in Jeezy's direction. Yup! *Cue Porky Pig Voice* "That's all folks!" Smh. Wake me when somebody gets they shit pushed back ... lol.

The Robert Verdi Vans® Slip-On x Hermès Customized Collection For Summer 2011 = Jeff Vans® Gully.
"What’s a guy to do when his favorite sneaker company won’t collaborate with his favorite fashion house??? Well, Robert Verdi took the collaboration into his own hands by kindly requesting that Vans make him a few pairs of custom kicks out of his vintage Hermes scarf collection for his personal use. We have to admit, the end result was brilliant! This marriage between upscale prints and rubber street soles make the collaboration seem like a typical case of the old saying, ‘opposites attract.’ On the contrary, the union of Hermes and Vans make more sense than what meets the eye, by the use of the two distinctive materials that represent each company. Since 1937 Hermes has been designing their classic silk scarves, which elevated the company to an iconic status. Equally so, it was 1966 when Paul Van Doren sold his first pair of Vans on the streets of Anaheim California, with the same rubber sole we see today. The rubber of the shoes, and the silk of the scarves, are the two materials in which society identifies these brands to be. Though Hermes and Vans are from opposite worlds, they both found their identity, and stayed true to it!"

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: As a fashion purist, I generally regard unsolicited collaborations (NOTE: If such uncooperative unions can even truly be called "collaborations". Hmmmmmm, me thinks such forced fusions are more akin to date rape. No?) as disrespectful bastardizations of style that usually always run counter to the borrowed label's hard earned and understandably closely protected brand image. Nope. No sir, I don't like it. However, my attitude towards sneaky collaborations can prove to be quite malleable when the item(s) in question exhibits as fresh a design brilliance as this Vans® Slip-On x Hermès Customized Collection for Summer 2011.
I'm not even a fan of slip-on Vans® like that homie, but the awesome otherness that has been achieved by blending the aristocratic flair of the House of Hermès and their legendary highly collectible silk scarves with the "kick-push" kingly character of Vans® sneakers is the perfect marriage of the pretty and the gritty. This is "Heroin Chic" ... like burning a bag of dope in a sterling silver Tiffany & Co.® spoon. Now, THAT'S what we call "imagery" boys and girls ... lol.
Oh yeah, points have been deducted because these bespoke beauties aren't available to the public (NOTE: Maybe I should petition stylist Robert Verdi for a pair. The internet can be a magical place ... lol), but these kicks are still official my nig. Hey, I like what I like. Good shit!
