Jay-Z x Kanye West Ft. Frank Ocean - No Church In The Wild (Official Music Video)

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Random Thought: These guys really, really like the Czech Republic and its capital city, Prague. Whatevs. Anyway, not only is there "No Church In The Wild", but apparently there's also no Jay-Z or Kanye West either. No problem. Shit is decent.

Jadakiss Ft. Styles P. - Dope Boy (Official Music Video)

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Of course, I not only saw, but actually posted the "behind the scenes" footage for this video ... so, I knew the horrors that awaited the public. But, because I L.O.V.E. this "Dope Boy" record sooooooooooooo much, I somehow mustered the delusional buoyancy to temporarily convince myself that the bootleg Muppets might NOT be such an embarrassingly b-a-d idea for the homie's J-To-The-Muah and one Styles Pinero. SMH. Boy (NOTE: Heroin slang euphemismistic pun completely intended.) was I was wrong. Incredible song. Mediocre (NOTE: And I am being uber kind.) video. It is what it is.

Pusha T - Exodus 23:1 (Official Music Video)

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Taking a page from Freddie Gibbs' "Thuggin" manual, Pusha T artfully chisels off a raw vignette from the brick that is his life for the visual to his messageboard stirring, YMCMB spicy-tofu-as-rap-"beef"-substitute record, "Exodus 23:1". Real recognize real. "YUUUUCK!"

The Official Livestyle Memorial Day Weekend 2012 Miami, Florida G-Cap Starring: Meek Mill, Fabolous, 2 Chainz, DJ Khaled x Diddy!

Uno.


(NOTE: SM-Muthafuckin'H. The nigga hosting this video is quite possibly the lamest fuck boy on the planet, buuuuuuuuuut Tity Boi AKA 2 Chainz is on it, so a hood pass has been respectfully granted.)
Dos.


Tres.

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: While federally recognized and observed as a holiday for us as a nation to take pause and honor the selfless men and women of our armed forces whom have perished in the fight to ensure our collective freedoms, the majority of us - myself equally culpable and included - pretty much take Memorial Day for granted and view it as little more than the unofficial white boat shoe kick-off to yet another ice cold Corona® Extra beer Igloo® cooler filled Summer. And it should represent oh so much more.

Alas, I am, however, able to bandage my wounded half-assed, self-righteous sense of situational patriotism and civic duty (NOTE: Whatever the fuck that means ... lol.) with the forgiving gauze of the knowledge that I am taking NO part in the annual Super Bowl of niggerdom (NOTE: Yup, Y.O.U. read that right.) that is Memorial Day Weekend in Miami, Florida ... lol.

Non-stop nouveau riche AND wannabe nouveau riche shenanigans for 72 hours? Nahh, I'm good. Hey, sometimes it's all about cheap personal victories ... lol. In any event, please enjoy this patented Livestyle video "G-Cap" of a handful of this weekends star studded(?) festivities. Happy Memorial Day 2012!!!!

Birdman Ft. Rick Ross - Born Stunna (Directed By Derrick G.)(Official Music Video)

Nas - Daughters (Official Music Video)

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: On the rigid list of Hip Hop acts of high treason, any admission of human frailty, vulnerability or emotion by an artist (NOTE: That is with the always acceptable and, indeed, encouraged exception of aggression) ranks only 2nd to the grand daddy of ALL punishable offenses: Snitchin'. However, when your name is Nas and your historically hefty catalogue of genre defining hits have afforded Y.O.U. the rare luxury of some HIGHLY generous creative elbow room, there is no need for Y.O.U. to play it safe - with regard to subject matter or otherwise.

Listen, we all know that for all of Nasir's towering lyrical genius that he has been - particularly during this latter part of his career - mercilessly plagued by his own poor life and musical choices. And THAT *Cue Chingy Voice* "Right Thurr" is precisely what makes this unflinchingly honest and introspective "Daughters" song so great! Accountability is what's really real my nigga. Bravo Queensbridge's Finest! Bravo! #LifeIsGood

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Exodus 23.1 "Thou shalt not utter a false report; put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness." Get it? Got it? Good! Now, press "PLAY" on the above video and bear righteous witness to a generous recounting of the genesis of this current Hip Hop message board/Twitter lightning rod of a record courtesy of it's co-creators the homie Pusha Ton and The Dream. And hey, whattayaknow? Ab Liva is hanging around the studio too ... no doubt with an S-Curl® crowned head full of oppulent .OZ fantasy bars just dying to be heard ... lol. It is what it is.  "YUUUUCK!"

KarmaLoopTV x ROCKSMITH Present: Freeway - Let You Know (Official Music Video)

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Sleep at your own risk youngin' ... this joint go hard!

Wiz Khalifa - Work Hard, Play Hard (Official Music Video)

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Be careful NOT to misread the title of this song. Contrary to what many might be lead to believe given Wiz Khalifa's penchant for simptastic overtures of L.O.V.E. delivered at the foot of Amber "Svedka Robot Girl" Rose's platinum plated stripper pole to Heaven, the Taylor Gang chieftan's motto is indeed "Work Hard, Play Hard" and NOT "Work Hard, PLAY YOURSELF Hard". There is a difference. Please make a note of it.

Nicki Minaj Ft. Chris Brown - Right By My Side (Official Music Video)(Co-Starring Nas)

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS:  Art imitates life in this visual for Nicki Minaj's latest bubblegum Billboard® chart sticker, "Right By My Side" for it seems that both offscreen and now onscreen Chris "I Wanna Be Like Ike" Brown has documented difficulty in controlling his hoes!

Yup, 1st Rih-Rih ventured waaaaaaaaaaaaay out of pocket seemingly never to return again and now, fictional though it may be, "Mattel® "Booty Shot" Barbie®" does the same; chucking the "deuce" to Mr. "Dueces" himself and falling for ... wait for it ... wait for it ... legendary blue-ribbon bar spitter and equally legendary L.O.V.E. loser, Nasty Nas! Ha haaaaaaaaa! Way to go all #Tongueslut on her Esco! Good shit!

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Press "PLAY" and watch as 50 Cent channels the ghost of late, great boxing historian Bert Sugar and delivers a thoughtful albeit ever so slightly biased analysis of his BFF, Floyd Mayweather's recent 12 round beatdown unanimous decision win over a relentless Miguel Cotto. #MoneyTeam

French 101: French Montana - Coke Boys 3 Intro (Official Music Video) x Everything's A Go (Remix)(Official Music Video)

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Hmmmmmmmmmm, is that a vintage Dipset-era Heatmakerz instrumental that I hear for the "Coke Boys 3" mixtape intro? Yeah, I caught that too. My niggas do make powerful music.

In related news, say what Y.O.U. will about French Montana's lyrical acumen, or lack thereof, but this young man's got a platinum ear. Stop playing. Good shit!

BONUS:

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I be knowing ... I am super duper late with the posting of this video, but that's neither here nor there mon frère. One Word: Drita.

Rick Ross Throws Meek Mill The Keys To A Brand New Range For His 25th Birthday @ TheLifeFiles.Com.

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Soooooooooooo, what do you do if you're the C.hief E.xecutive Corrections O.fficer and your prized signee, Meek Mill, is celebrating his 25th birthday?

Well, if you're the one and only Señor Rozay, Y.O.U. return, with a few 100 bands in hand, to the very same car lot that is responsible for having you currently going broke and you double down on a new Range Rover Sport for your adopted son (NOTE: NO Lil Wayne and Baby) of course! Haters gon' hate real niggas ridin' with paper plates. Happy G-Day to the boy Meek Milly! "BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWSE!"
