Smoke DZA Ft. Dom Kennedy - Pow Wow (Official Music Video)(Directed By 3 Little Digs)


CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Ahhhhhhhhh, shades of Jay-Z's iconic "Dead Presidents" video, huh? My nigga Smoke DZA and Mr. "From The We$tside With Love", Leimert Park's finest, Dom Kennedy, dramatically raised the stakes, effectively filtering out the lint pocketed riff-raff, and decided to play Monopoly® with "real cash" in this video for their puff, puff, pass collabo, "Pow Wow". I can dig it. Good shit!

Pusha T - Tony Montana (White Girl Remix)(Freestyle)(Official Music Video)


CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS:  Press play and tune into the latest uncut designer drug cocaine superhero adventures of the one and only, Pusha-Ton! White girl on the arm ... fineness. White girl on the arm ... consignment. And a fresh pair of signature ox blood soled Christian Louboutin "Rollerball" grown man shoes on deck ... righteous! "YUUUUCK!"

HAPPY VETERANS DAY 2011!


CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Lacking the Summer seasonal introductory holiday fanfare of Memorial Day, Veterans Day has unfortunately largely become a halfhearted lazy and spiritless salute to the troops - past and present - whom sacrificed life and limb in the name of our country. There are no promises of hickory smoked salmon BBQ's each year come November 11th, just yellow and burnt orange foliage falling from the trees along New York City's 5th Avenue like so much ticker tape during a parade that most are too busy to attend.

My personal feelings towards America's continuing self serving policies of global colonialism under the guise of "Democracy Building" aside, I hold no animus towards my brave brothers and sisters enlisted in the United States Armed Forces. Our union is far from perfect, however, the freedoms that Y.O.U. and I so easily take for granted without as much as a 2nd thought given to how such liberties are ensured us are exactly what these brave men and women fight for each and every day!

Yes, I know that shit is fucked up, but please exercise some emotional restraint and try, try, try to apply a rational perspective to our irrational world ... things could be a lot worse boys and girls. Stop playing. Remember: All gave some, but some gave all. Happy Veterans Day 2011!

Young Jeezy Runs Through His Hits x Performs Live @ Howard Homecoming Yard Fest 2011.


CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Yeah, I am well aware that Howard Homecoming 2011 was 2 weeks ago - thereby, in today's microwave attention span addled internet world, marking this video as ancient artifact - but I don't give a fizzuck! After seeing his career hit a major Rick Ross sized pothole in the last year, my nigga "Young Jizzle With The Stamp In The Middle" is finna bounce back with T.hug M.otivation 103 ... and his powerful performance @ this years "Yard Fest" was a timely elective refresher course covering the never to be forgotten finer points of snowbusiness. Y.O.U. already know bro. Good shit!

Fat Joe Ft. French Montana - Welcome To The Darkside (Official Music Video)(Album Intro Off That "The Darkside Vol. 2" Coming Soon!)

The Brunch Bunch Pt. 163 (The 4th Annual NYC Marathon Edition)













(NOTE: Although plural postings of any single plump posteried princess in any given #LUST inducing "Brunch Bunch" entry have increased significantly in recent months, Livestyle devotees will undoubtedly recognize that it is still with rare exception that such action is taken. In the case of today's Mizz DR double booking, my reasoning is clear ... these pictures are a pair and, in the interest of continuity, simply MUST be published together in succession as GOD intended ... lol. Stop playing.)

Amber Rose Talks Kanye West's "WTT" Philly, Philly Tour Stop "Apology" @ XXL.Com.


CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Sooooooooooooooooooooo, apparently a few days ago @ the Philadelphia stop of the "Watch The Throne" tour, Kanye West got wrapped ALL up in the complimentary emotional Snuggie® afforded valorized visitors to the "City Of Brotherly Love" and was so moved that he dedicated his hit "Runaway" to his former flame, one Ms. Amber Rose.

Without mentioning everybody's favorite Newport™ 100's menthol flavored nymph by name, Kanye West said, and I quote, "To the city of Philly, I want to thank y'all for making the incredible person that this song was made for". SMH. Message To Kanye West: Dog, it's over. Wiz Khalifa dry cleaned, starched AND ironed his "Black and Yellow" cape, swooped in for the kill on this broad and, believe it or not, Y.O.U. should count your lucky stars that he did!

Anyway, thanks to the internet firestorm that Mr. West, Mr. West's public "apology" caused, a gracious Svedka Robot Girl - clad in 1 of her many Patti LaBelle post cataract surgery recovery sized pairs of ballerific sunnies - sat down with XXL and chopped it up about her ex and his recent Hallmark® licensed overture @ his show. Fuck it!

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS:  One of the latest trends sweeping the world of Hip Hop music is that of established artists crafting sequels of their heretofore most acclaimed works.  However, whereas this currently popular practice often serves as a career crutch and is a transparently desperate gimmicky attempt on the part of many acts to connect their successful past with their uncertain future, for a handful of talented boom-bap auteurs, such invocations of a previous project are truly a return to their personal classics and a welcome addition to their still growing legacy.  Such is the case with PUSH! Montana and his DJ "And Like That ... We're Gone!" Drama hosted "When Push Comes To Shove" Vol. 2.

All personal bias aside, my brother-from-another-mother, PUSH!, is on an upward trajectory - whether the Hypebeast controlled message boards realize it yet or not - that few (NOTE:  And I literally mean like less than 10 other currently active rappers.) can match OR catch!  Yall aint gotta take my word for it, but Y.O.U. should.  I mean, seriously, I have spent the better part of the last 3 years curating a far reaching and diverse platform of interests for ALL members of the greater Livestyle community to draw inspiration from and reference in their day-to-day lives.  My nigga PUSH! caters that "Soul food, for your soul fool" serving up heaping portions of glistening fishscale bars that can and should be counted as some of the rawest musings of any MC today not only for their street life intricacy, but more so because of their alone-in-my-my-thoughts-as-I-sit-in-my-squatter-@-3AM introspective intimacy.

From intro to outro (NOTE:  Yes, Kyle and I BOTH know that I've gotta get the fuck in the studio ASAP my nigga.  I've already got some of that official Acetone stinkin' work ready shun.  Y.O.U. DID call it right though ... lol.), the self proclaimed "Waiter" delivers that "Certified" "Live Nigga Rap" and invites the world to witness "The Bizness" on his terms.  Hey, Y.O.U. already know ... "Every superhero needs his theme music" (NOTE:  That's an O.G. "I'm Gonna Get You Sucka" quote right there boys and girls.  I would normally publish a brief explanatory adendum to this post to school yall, buuuuuuuuut, this post is all about supporting my brother and his latest project.  Act like Y.O.U. know).  Good shit!
