Hitting Newsstands Next Week: Amber Rose Covers Vibe Magazine's "Sexy" Issue June/July 2011.

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Sooooooooooooo, yeah, a few days ago Vibe Magazine released the cover of their upcoming June/July 2011 "Sexy" Issue. Great. Oh, but there was 1 problem. The 1st cover featured a topless Rick Ross tatted to the max and bathing in black diamonds - particularly sporting an unGODly amount of Jesus Pieces that ALL strangely resemble Isaac Hayes as "Black Moses" moonlighting as Black Jesus ... lol. Niggas aint want to see all that. (NOTE: And, for the record, no this is NOT a case of weight discrimination. Unless otherwise posted by my little sister, the currently M.I.A. Aisha, Livestyle has a strict policy against entries dedicated to naked dudes. Nope. Not in my house!)

Thankfully, as it turns out this is a double cover issue and today saw the release of the 2nd marquee featuring everybody's favorite sexxxy ass Newport™ 100's chain-smoking Svedka Robot Girl AKA Ms. Amber Rose. But, hold up though! If the innocent citizenry of America are going to be exposed to the "Bawse"'s boobs when this hits newsstands in a matter of weeks, why come Amber Rose couldn't let her good girls breathe? No arm bra, no nothing? SMH. Whatevs. Her 15 minutes of fame is almost up ... the sex tape soon come ... lol. Holla @ ya boy in BK!

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: On a related note, I really miss Vice Magazine. I mean, of course Y.O.U. can always read it online, but I've always preferred to read the actual, physical copy. This Canadian based zine and all of it's many contributors played a major part in influencing my early blogging style. Truth is truth. Where have all of the pretty print magazines gone?

Nicki Minaj Covers V Magazine

The First Lady Of LiveStyle Says: "The Birth of a Star...." But is she really a star? After seeing the picture of Nicki's almost identical outfit for her recent birthday extravaganza in Miami, I was more than just disappointed. Seeing that I thought it was unflattering for a barbie (NOTE: I refuse to call her a LiveStyle Lady) not because she isn't great at what she does, but because I find it hard to respect Y.O.U. for being unoriginal. A.K.A. A BITER! lol. #aishashrugs. It's one thing to clearly study one of the greats and draw inspiration, however, it's another thing entirely to steal somebody else's image and refuse to give credit where it is so evidently due. Lyrics from Kim's diss record Black Friday speak the truth.

"This aint a championship fight I’ve been the greatest

See the fact is, what you doing I did it.

Lames trying to clone my style, run with it

Thats cool, I was the first one with it."

With that being said...

Signing Off...

P.S.

As a LiveStyle rule, I couldn't mention a diss record and not post it.

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Judging from the looks of this electric promo shot for the June/July 2010 issue of Vibe Magazine, everybody's favorite Mattel® Barbie® doll on Meth behaving/über marketing savvy femme c is right on schedule as she continues her "massive attack" upon the hearts and minds of the most vulnerable amongst us - the children. That's right boys and girls: Think Pink! LOL. "There's a Nightmare On Elm Street and guess who's playing Freddy!" G-G-G-Get'em Cookie!

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: NOTE: The April/May 2010 Vibe Magazine is a dual cover featuring the formerly "Young" Jeezy and Trey Songz, however, in the wake of the brief, yet intense Trey-1-N-1 outbreak that swept away the hearts of budding P.Y.T.'s everywhere earlier this year, I will only be posting Mr. 17.5's canvas as I refuse to broadcast any sexually suggestive content that might cause my still tender recovering female readers to relapse. I have a responsibility to them AND, more importantly, myself because, while Trey is a cool nigga, I don't give a fuck about that statutory type shit ... lol. If any Livestyle readers of the fairer sex care to see that other cover posted here, please feel free to petition my little sister Aisha and tell her to get back on her j-o-b.

Oh yeah, the April 2010 XXL Magazine features Nicki "Female-Rappers-Are-Irrelevant-So-I-Will-Have-To-Do" Minaj and Drizzy "I'm-A-Corny-Nigga-But-At-Least-I-Know-It-And-That-Almost-Makes-Me-Cool" Drake AKA "Wheelchair Jimmy" on the marquee. Y.O.U. see it!

The First Lady of LiveStyle Says: Bro say no more! I may be M.I.A. around these parts but I'll never forget about my LiveStyle duties! It's only fair that I give my girls some eye candy around here. We see enough Nikki Minaj look-a-likes on the regular. #NoShots! LOL! With that being said, I want my fellow LiveStyle Ladies to indulge in this helluva cover Trey graced his presence with!

Enjoy!

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Notwithstanding the apparent discarding of the "Young" portion of his name (NOTE: A decision that undoubtedly stems from the class action lawsuit levied against Young Money, et. al. and their refusal to cease and desist all abuse of the formerly original "Young" nom de plume), Jay "Jeezy" Jenkins will, in my eyes, remain "Forever Young". Of course Mr. 17.5 gets the cover of the revived Vibe Magazine ... TM103 is on the way baby! JEFE!

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Soooooooooooo, 2 days ago much of New York City and the Tri-State area rediscovered commercial radio for 2.5 hours as Jay-Z took to the airwaves alongside his tour apprentices Young Jeezy and Trey Songz to address the rumors of his involvement with all kinds of Satanic secret societies. Jay-Z's numero uno cheerleader, Angie Martinez, served up the softball questions.

Largely sparked by message board dwellers whom read and/or YouTube entirely too much fiction, a relatively small yet noisy minority has all but dubbed Shawn Corey Carter the Anti-Christ. In short, waaaaaaaay too political Hov said that while he does believe in GOD he does NOT believe in or adhere to any organized religion. Such ambiguity has only fueled the fires of insatiable conspiracy theorists bent on uncovering the nefarious plots that constantly seek to undermine Humanity. It is what it is.

In other news, Young Vito covers the February 2010 issue of Interview Magazine (NOTE: A timely tome created by the brilliant late, great iconic American artist Andy Warhol and Gerard Malanga in 1969. Yeah, Y.O.U. aint know that, did ya? You're welcome.) and licks 2 quick shots @ Birdman's asinine claims that Lil Wayne is more lyrical and ... wait for it ... has more money than him. LOL. The media blitz continues.

Hitting Newsstands Next Week: The January 2010 Relaunch Issue Of King Magazine = The Champagne Of Sticky Pages Has Returned!

"KING magazine is back! The “Illest Men’s Magazine Ever” is officially relaunching right on time for the holiday season.

This incarnation, newly christened The Women of KING, has undergone a few changes. To whet the appetite of the brand’s devoted fans, the magazine will be released four times a year. More importantly, like the new title suggests, The Women of KING will focus on the beautiful women that populate hip-hop’s biggest videos as well as the entertainment and modeling industry, as it did before.

Take the premiere issue, for starters, with XXL’s Eye Candy of the Year, Rosa Acosta, gracing the cover. Not only is the Dominican dime sexing up the pages, but video vixens such as Shakur, Bria Myles, Briana Loyd and Sasha Del Valle are scorching 82-pages worth of pictorials.

In addition to the visuals, the collector's issue also gives praise to some of KING’s biggest stories over its eight-year history, including must-reads on Jay-Z, Diddy, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, T.I., Dave Chappelle and President Barack Obama.

The Women of King's Winter 2010 issue hits shelves on December 24, ladies, now you know what to get your guy for Christmas. —XXL Staff"

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Rarely, if ever, would I open a days proceedings with a T&A post. I mean, Y.O.U. don't eat dessert before dinner, do Y.O.U.? Ok, maybe Y.O.U. do, Y.O.U. magnificently fat fuck! However, for those of us whom posses a shred of self discipline, sweets before nutrient rich eats sounds quite absurd, if not just flat out wrong. What would mother say?

In any event, that being the case, fear not my loyal Livestyle community, in the spirit of the Holidays I have approved this entry brimming with buxom beauties and curiously curved cuties (Hey! Hydrogel injections are running rampant in the game, transforming beat up baby mommas whom would otherwise be damned to hole-in-the-wall strip club oblivion into eye candy-dates for African America's Next Top Urban "Model" ... lol. Sad, but, true.) for 1 very special reason: King Magazine is back!

Touting themselves as "The Illest Men's Magazine" the curators of cool @ King Magazine buckled under the crushing weight of the new media behemoth that threatens the entire print publishing world and folded a few months back with a whimper and a Tahiry Jose cover story. It was a sad day for us all.

Fast forward and, today, King Magazine has regrouped and relaunched as "The Women Of King Magazine" and has enlisted the much appreciated ASSistance of some of the top video vixens in this fickle game. The cover girl captain of this all star wet dream fantasy team is the always flexibly fun Rosa Acosta - no complaints here. Additionally, coming off of the bench you've got the titillating talents of P.Y.T. Sasha "Barely-Legal-But-Still-Legal" Del Valle and Bria "Chocolate Thunder" Myles along with some other b-a-d ass rookies with all of the right cookies. LOL. Now, while I am no doubt impressed by the quality AND the quantity of the pootang that King Magazine has assembled for the introduction of their 2.0 platform, I've gotta wonder if these niggas can keep this pussy parade poppin'. I mean, even as a quarterly, how many official video vixens are there worthy of some headline time? Really? We'll see where this goes.

Special Message To The Editors Of King Magazine: If Y.O.U. start giving covers to the likes of Pebblez Da "Damn-That-Ass-Is-So-Fake-Yet-I-Can't-Seem-To-Stop-Looking-@-It" Model (Note: I take no pride in writing her name that way), Y.O.U. will become Straight Stuntin' Magazine and NOBODY wants that. Furthermore, like any magazine still sitting on the increasingly empty newsstand these days, King has to offer readers feature articles of substance that don't have such a short shelf life. I don't want to pick up this issue next week and read about Jay-Z hitting 50 Cent with the good ole "1 shot. 1 kill." during his acceptance speech @ the A.merican M.usic A.wards ... that scoop is sooooooooooooo last month. The internet will beat Y.O.U. to that punch everytime my nigga. So what yall gonna do? The streets and the Tweets is watching ... lol. Need some help? Holla @ ya boy in BK!
