CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Despite numerous false starts that have seen the release date of his long awaited forthcoming album catch the Lebron James hairline fade, in the increasingly sonically neglected gutters of America - having been unceremoniously and abruptly abandoned by most of today's popular artists for greener and gentler emotional pastures - anticipation still abounds for Young Jeezy's T.hug M.otivation 103. And that's good because that "F.A.M.E." joint with the "Kaaaaaang", T.I.P., really aint shit my nigga ... lol. Thank Almighty GOD for unconditional L.O.V.E.! C.T.E. Wooooooooooooorld!
CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: I am the furthest thing from a hater, buuuuuuuuuuuut, dammitman, truth is truth. "You need to focus. Ok? On getting a deal done ... getting a collective bargaining agreement reached; so you could get back on the court and make it up to the millions upon millions of fans who watched you wet the bed in the 4th quarter!"Ouchh! One might think that the shared struggle of rapidly retreating hairlines would be cause for a renewed sense of solidarity between the homie Stephen A. Smith and Lebron James, however, after watching this video from today's ESPN First Take, that is clearly not the case ... lol. This whole NBA Lockout crap got a lot of niggas aggy ... myself included. Shit is real.
CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Y.O.U. think Charles "I Never Won A Ring" Barkley and the rest of the peanut gallery are listening? Sure, the agonizingly protracted melodrama surrounding Lebron James's "Decision" to leave the Cleavland Cavaliers for the Miami Heat and the ESPN T.V. special announcing said migration was a pure dick head move, but, really, who fucking cares!? The long awaited 2010-2011NBA Basketball season starts tomorrow and, once again, the genius marketing team over @ Nike just set it off right with this dope commercial. Way to put things in perspective, huh? Good shit!
CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS:Dammit man! Both the song and the video for this "What Should I Do?" joint off of the Don Cannon hosted Young Chris "The Network 2" mixtape go harder than Chinese arithmetic ... lol. Yup, the Young Gunner C still got that good whisper flow in full effect and this LeBron-James-on-a-hunger-strike looking nigga Latif can sing his ass off! LOL. Me likey! Good shit!
CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: As a native New Yorker, while admittedly it would have been nice of LeBron "I L.O.V.E. NY" James to shine his star power on the wilted flowers in Madison Square Garden, like most hoop fans, I saw his ESPN® "Decision" coming a mile away.
So, rather than post some whiny, sniveling post lamenting LeBron's slightly bitch made move to Miami, I will congratulate him. To that end, I believe that my feelings would best be expressed by this accompanying musical selection (NOTE: The namesake for the title of this entry) from Mr. "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It" himself, Will Smith. Enjoy!
The First Lady of LiveStyle Says: Phil Jackson coming back to coach the Bulls without Mike may sound like pure fuxkery, but the chances of Lebron James being traded aren't as odd as Y.O.U. might think. Word on the street from my good friends back home is that "the king" was in town looking for condos the other day. #AishaShrugs#GoBulls!
CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: After numerous setbacks and court ordered injunctions, today marked the official groundbreaking ceremony for Brooklyn's very own arena - The Barclays Center @ The Atlantic Yards.
Designed by the team of Ellerbe Becket and SHoP Architects (NOTE: The original concept was designed by star-chitect Frank Gehry) and scheduled to open for business come Fall 2012, The Barclays Center will finally give the NBA's Nets a $1 billion new crib and give the borough of Brooklyn our 1st professional sports team since the beloved Dodgers ditched Ebbets Field for the West Coast sun and fun waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in 1957.
Although real-estate mogul/developer Bruce Ratner is the true might behind this project and O.G. Brooklyn Borough PresidentMarty Markowitz and Al Sharpton were in attendance for this gala, for all Livestyle intents and purposes, minority owner Jay-Z (NOTE:That's riiiiiiiiiiight! Contrary to what Y.O.U. may hear in your local barbershop, Shawn Corey Carter enjoys only a sliver of this cherry pie ... not that that is anything to scoff @ ... lol) is the only speech from this afternoon's press conference that we give 2 fucks about. True story. I mean, what's the use of buying a $540,000 a year luxury box suite if there's A) No games, concerts or whatever to watch from your pricey perch and B) No Lebron James playing for your hometeam which Y.O.U. just so happen to own a stake in? Exactly! That would be patently ridiculous ... lol.
Shit wasn't all sweet though as this highbrow happening was met by local protesters who have long contended that the Atlantic Yards Project spells doom for the Brooklyn that we all know and L.O.V.E. Personally, I do have mixed feelings about this gargantuan undertaking ... I know that this will turn traffic into a food fight mess and that the already exorbitant property prices in Downtown Brooklyn will only soar higher and higher and, worst of all, force out long time low-income residents. No bueno.
On the other hand, the jobs that this arena will provide and the patronage that the overflow of crowds will bring to neighboring businesses can only be seen as a good thing, particularly in this barely rebounding economy. Ehhhhhhh, Y.O.U. can't stop the tag-team of big business AND progress. It is what it is.
CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: All of this hoopin' Holiday cheer comes to Y.O.U. from Nike, Kobe Bryant and Lebron "I L.O.V.E. NY" James with the good 1-2 assist from Krs-1 and Lupe Fiasco. Good shit!
CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS:No, your eyes are not deceiving Y.O.U., that is indeed Jay-Z, Ty-Ty and O.G. Juan on a float alongside a Roc-A-Fella diamond raising A-Rod celebrating the Yankees' 27thWorld Series win @ yesterday's Parade Of Champions down New York City's "Canyon Of Heroes". I will say this, Jay-Z is a master finagler ... lol. Check out his performance of "Empire State Of Mind" with Alicia Keys "Replacement Killer" Bridgette Kelly in front of City Hall too. If only they knew that when he spits, "If Jeezy's paying Lebron/I'm paying Dwayne Wade" it is a heavily stylized euphemism for today's current costly cocaine prices! Y.O.U. gotta L.O.V.E. it!
Only because this jacket has become such a hot topic on and off-line since 1st being spotted on Jay-Z during his performance of "Empire State Of Mind" @ Game 2 of the 2009 World Series will I now allow Y.O.U. to be privy to its purchase details. My brother Niketown swore up-and-down that this fine jacket was a Mitchell & Ness item, however, this brilliant New York Yankees Wool/Leather 1952 Commemorative Jacket is actually made by G-III Sports. Who knew? Good shit.
Well, well well.. What do we have here? I figured it was only a matter of time til 'Ye officially co-signed Drizzy by hoppin' on a track with Mr. Wheelchair Jimmy himself! ButEminem? That's a shocker. Now, who had the best verse on "Forever" is debatable, but, in my to always be respected and accepted opinion, I think all 4, Drake, 'Ye, Wayne & Em, killed on this beat! (For Y.O.U. BK boys, that translates to "bodied" in Chicagoan ... lol) Say what Y.O.U. want, I fux with it! End of story.
Drake, baby, what are Y.O.U. doing? Smh. At first I was a little confused. Y.O.U. can't blame me. This has got to be the most low budget "show" E.V.E.R. But Hey!"I get it in OHIO! and none the less, I hear what he's saying. "The game needs change", and he's "the maf*ckin cashier!" At this point in time, Drake is trying to establish his credibility with his new found followers/fans/groupies or what have Y.O.U. Now, do NOT get it twisted people - I, Aisha Ali, have been around since Comeback Season and prior. Go do your research kids. But he lost me with all of this Gucci Mane business. "I think I love her." How can Y.O.U. relate? I wrote Gucci off after he knocked out ol girl on STAGE!
Whoa. Lebron."Mentality of a Leader.." Y.E.S. "Potential to be..the greatest player the NBA has ever seen." Now Y.O.U. my friend are killing me! I am and forever will be a diehard Jordan fan. And for Y.O.U. to even attempt to dispute that, is a disgrace. Stop sneaking sips from your B-O-S-S Lil Wayne's styrofoam cup homie.
Oh yeah, the list of female friends that he fancies is weak to say the least. No bueno. And, for the record, NO it is not because I'm not on it ... lol. I'll pull a Peyton Manning and PASS. I don't know, maybe Y.O.U. boys can understand. Note to Drizzy: Make your next move your best move, or Y.O.U. just might lose me.
CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS:Really Nike? Really Lebron "I L.O.V.E. N.Y." James? I mean, really? Congratulations on making this barely noticeable dunk an international sports story. *Cue Drunk Tony Montana Voice* "Is this what it's all about?" Message To Lebron: Look, I get it. For all of your natural physical prowess and accomplishments, Y.O.U. are still very much a child playing in a grown man's world. I fuxs with Y.O.U. hardbody homie, but, PUH-LEEZE cut the crap my nigga. You're better than this yo. Talk to me.
CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Sorry Lebron "I L.O.V.E. N.Y." James, but, Kobe Bryant is the official MVP of his basketball camp! No need to confiscate this tape. LOL.
CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Even though David Stern's (and almost everybody else's) dream match up was not realized in this year's NBA Finals, the ever astute brain trust over @ Nike certainly knows when they've got a good thing going! Yes, just when Y.O.U. thought that their puppet powers had peaked, here comes the Nike MVPuppets Lebron James and Kobe Bryant limited edition t-shirt.
What more can I say? It's a cool shirt for the Summer and the exclusivity of it all will make it that much iller when I pair it with a good pair of Lebron James C.hrist T.he K.ing dandies OR, even better, my Kobe Bryant Lower Merion P.layer E.ditionfuck-your-itty-bitty-sneaker-collection gems ... lol. *50 Cent Voice* "I got shooters!" LOL! Holla @ ya boy in BK!
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.
