CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Listen, my feelings towards Model Bubbles are nooooooooooo secret. This bitch has become a permanent fixture in the fantasy team brothel that furnishes my inappropriate thoughts. SMH. The #LUSTis strong ... correction*Cue Dirty South Voice*"SKRONG" ... lol. Stop playing.
CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Today I realized that I have been in somewhat of a fashion funk lately. As I scour the pages of magazines - online and off - I now find myself in a barren land virtually bereft of any refreshing inspiration. The sad winds of aesthetic lethargy born of a special kind of deluded arrogance howl throughout the night as my frigid hands ache to pop tags on some sincerely dope new gear. All is not lost, however, as there are still brief glimmers of hope that encourage me on my mission à la mode this particularly difficult fashion season. Case In Point: The Amongst Friends X Highsnobiety Field Boot.
Now, I fully understand that to the Timberland faithful (NOTE: As a Brooklynite a religious sect that I am a member of by birthright) to recognize another field boot borders on heresy, but I am here to tell Y.O.U. that such narrow mindedness is wrong AND completely out of step (NOTE:Yup! That's a pun there ... lol) with what it truly means to be "Heroin Chic".
The brain trust behind the online oracle of elevated street style @ Highsnobiety got down and dirty on the cross-branding collabo with Amongst Friends to gives us these premium suede and nylon upper sharp as shit shit kickers. Aaaaaand these bad boys are limited to a global run of only 70 pairs to boot (NOTE: Puns on puns on puns ... lol)! Who could front on that? I might have to snatch me up a pair of these for the holidays. Good shit!
CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS:Yup, "Young Jizzle With The Stamp In The Middle" knows how to bring the hood out in full force every muthafuckin' trip!
Now, of course your standard issue music industry movers and shakers paid loyal homage to Young Jeezy on the eve of the release of his oft pushed back "T.hug M.otivation 103" L.ong P.layer (NOTE: And now Y.O.U. know what L.P. stands for ... lol) and made the proper pilgrimage to NYC's Sunshine Theater for the premier of his Samuel L. Jackson narrated docu-movie, "A Hustlaz Ambition", followed by an after party @ the swanky lounge-as-gastropub Beauty & Essex, but seeing my brother-from-another-beautiful-motherPUSH! Montana and Wink Loc in attendance just took this event to another level! SMH. Is there anywhere on GOD's green earth that BrooklynDON'T go? That's a rhetorical question my G. Yes, I am unabashedly partial to my niggas ... and there is absolutely nothing that Y.O.U. can do about it CHUMP! LOL. C.T.E. Wooooooooooooorld!
CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Gather 'round one and all and bear teary eyed witness as trumpets blare announcing the welcome return of the "KAAAAAAAAAAANG" accompanied by a spittin' ass iambic pentameter punishing Skateboard P on this "Here Ye, Here Ye" joint. Aint no special effects budget busting bells and whistles here boys and girls ... just a cleverly streamlined brilliant visual from the homie T.I.P. Now, THIS is how it should be done. Good shit!
CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS:SMH. Soooooooooooooooo, after pushing the "PAUSE" button @ full force on Meek Mill's "Rookie Of The Year" momentum in order to, presumably, give Wale's wack juice soaked "Ambition" album an ice cube's chance in H-E-Double-Hockey-Sticks to make any amount of respectable noise, M.aybach M.usic G.roup finally decided to cut the crap and get back to the real. Niggas should've been dropped a video for this joint! This song was knockin' waaaaaaaay back in August bro. I almost don't care anymore ... almost ... lol. It is what it is.
CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: From skinny Blood sympathizer to becoming the latest signee @ Diddy's rape factory, Bad Boy Records, yes, French Montana has certainly come a long way. Every so often something is so bad that it creates a disturbance in the badness continuum that incredibly allows it to come full circle and actually become good - such is the case with with the musical stylings of The Bronx's own self appointed Mayor of Cocaine City. Hey, I aint even mad @ this nigga ... I fux with son. Plus, homie got Top 5 dead or alive Instagram ingenue Yaris Sanchez as the principle in this video too! Shit is most definitely real. On that note, I hereby I nominate French Montana for this week's "Best Week Ever" title. Tell me I'm wrong ... I dare ya ... lol. Good shit!
CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: The mark of a truly bonafide hustler is NOT singularly rooted in how much money they generate @ any given time. Anybody can get lucky ... once. No, what separates the flash-in-the-pan flashing some grands from the most Machiavellian of money getters is their uncanny ability to recognize new profit opportunities and quickly make the necessary strategic adjustments to position themselves for success in that lane. Couple this "ahead of the curve" thinking with an endearing newly diagnosed case of the "I've-got-more-than-enough-money-now" philanthropy bug and you've got 50 Cent circa 2011.
Diversification is key and, while his musical career stalled on the shoulder of the Billboard hits highway a looooong time ago (NOTE: Pop-culturally speaking of course. Shit is like dog years b ... lol), Curtis the consummate hustler knows that 1 monkey don't stop no show. Press play and watch the homie from Southside Jamaica, Queens chop it up real proper like with Lee Hawkins of the Wall Street Journal. Real recognize real. Good shit!
CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: If the tried and true Fabolous scientific formula for marginal success is to be applied to his next album, "Loso's Way 2" - and it almost invariably most certainly will - then Akai® MPC3000 maestro of the moment, Cali's own Hit-Boy, is finna be responsible for possibly 2 of the 3.5 records on son's new LP that are NOT going to be the lazy, disingenuous predictable carnival grade cotton candy fluff that this nigga regularly aims @ vulnerable and lonely bitches across the globe ... and that's just fine with me! LOL. From the sounds of things, the homie Hit-Boy got a fine tuned crackhead BIC® lighter and a nice aerosol can of Aquanet® ready for the industry! Good shit!
CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS:Surely, much to the chagrin of more than a few of his "boom bap" production peers, Swizz Beatz - a man who, thanks to his early calling card of ridiculously simple yet irresistibly catchy preprogrammed-sounding CASIO® keyboard beats, once enjoyed a dizzying streak of platinum hits that garnered him commercial and financial success while simultaneously invoking the enmity of many of his contemporaries - has recently engineered a gradual though complete image overhaul recasting himself as a true artist (NOTE: For demonstrative purposes integral to the effectiveness of this post to be pronounced in the pompously pretentious European count/countess manner of "arteest").
Yup, gone are the Ruff Ryders logo laden bandannas and oversized t-shirts - now it's sharply tailored Maison Martin Margiela suits and Christian Louboutin boots. Baby mommas have been replaced and upgraded too - son got Mashonda the fuck up outta here and went and snatched up the beautiful and incredibly talented "1-bad-day-fried-Oreos®-binge-away-from-my-White-sides-genes-kicking-into-full-cankle-mode" Alicia Keys. Clearly, this man has a plan! Next up is cosmopolitan social positioning ... or, in this case, pole positioning!
Taking his matured metropolitan aesthetic to the racetrack, the newly minted VP of creative design and global marketing for the legendary British luxury sports and racing car manufacturer Lotus, just unveiled this special edition Red Chrome Lotus (NOTE: Personally designed by Swizzy!) a few nights back @ a star studded gala in NYC. *Cue "Coming To America" Voice*"That boy good!" LOL. "Vroom! Vroom! Start it up!"
I'm the last money in and I'm the 1st money out in any situation. I am a Brooklyn born and bred MC with a keen sense of self and I appreciate forward thinking with regard to any endeavor. I am NOT your average rapper. I'm a hood socialite. The following will give you true insight to me as a man, my music and my unique LIVESTYLE. I does this for real homie!
The world is filled with blogs AND hoes, I'll just talk about those I know.
