CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: So, yeah,yeah, yeah, everybody's favorite tax write off, Red Cafe, has a new video sporting an impressive budget for his single "Fly Together" (NOTE: Which I do fux with.) featuring Rick Ross and Ryan Leslie, and that's all well and good. But, what my thing is ... what immediately became of major importance to me approximately 33 seconds into this video was exactly who the fidduck shorty is starring in this shit! All praises due to Google for helping a nigga quickly solve this little mystery and giving me a place to focus all of my spare #LUST ... lol. This cold itchbay didn't remain a cold case for too long ... say, "hello" to Jennifer Andrade my friends. Dog, shit goes from real to 100% crucial when she struts her stuff @ the end of this clip my nigga. Ay-Yi-Yi! You're welcome. You're ALL welcome!
CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Not to be completely outdone by such niggerific shennanigans as Memorial Day Weekend in Miami and Black Bike Weekend in Myrtle Beach,SC, we in the NYC Tri-State area have our very own annual Hot 97 Summer Jam (NOTE: Which is promptly followed up next weekend by the annual National Puerto Rican Day Parade - a caliente mess of irresponsibly spandexed mamis, fly tetas and more! Yes, June is one H-E-Double-Hockey-Sticks of a month in New York City. Word to the ghost of Freaknik ... lol) @ New Jersey's brand new Meadowlands Arena. As the scent of weed wafted from the bleachers and the sounds of Hip Hop's curent heavyweights blared from the speakers, for 1 night @ least - this year - ALL in attendance got to pretend that DJ Mister Cee is NOT a stone cold homosexual and that all was right with the world ... lol.
Lil Wayne and his YMCMB team of tax write-offs (NOTE: Excluding Drake (Who was there) and Nicki Minaj (Who was in absentia from her hometown concert due to a scheduling conflict that saw everybody's favorite "Mattel® "Booty Shot" Barbie®" poppin' her pink plastic @ the 2011 MTV Movie Awards) headlined the show while a braless Señor Rozay and his extra lidocaine cut cohorts hit the stage for the 2nd biggest set of the night. Above are some of the highlights. Enjoy!
CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: A song that originally surfaced online over a year ago as a behind the scenes work in progress collaboration between Rick Ross and Ryan Leslie was recently performed live in it's entirety @ Club LOVE in Washington, DC sans the former. Maybe *Cue Fabolous Voice*"R. Les For Prez" got tired of sitting on this "Maybach And Diamonds" heater and decided to bust his gun for dolo. Whatever. Y.O.U. know that a remix verse from Señor Rozay is only a Digidesign®/M-Audio® Pro-Tools session away. Good shit!
CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Yes, believe it or not, when NOT being New York City's most recognized hub for lackluster Hip Hop showcases that serve as little more than public viewings for the dead careers of so many mixtape artists, the legendary S.ounds O.f B.razil (NOTE: Yup! That's what S.O.B.'s stands for Y.O.U. son's of bitches! LOL) actually throws a good show or 2.
Last night, Ryan Leslie - the Black Doogie Howser-like genius who left Harvard to become 1 of the 1st people to understand and subsequently manipulate Myspace Music's "plays per day" numbers to his and Cassie's benefit - brought out Lloyd Banks and Fabolous to "Start It Up" for the crowd 1 time! We like surprises! Good shit!
CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS:Awwwwwwwwwwww! Kanye WestDOES still L.O.V.E. us! LOL.
After throwing a minor temper tantrum earlier this week over the unscrupulous blogger(s) responsible for leaking some of his unfinished music, Mr. West, Mr. West put the entire internet on "time out" and revoked our "G.O.O.D. Friday" privileges for the duration of 1 week. Apparently, we had all become too spoiled by this brilliant beatmakers benevolence and needed to be taught the egregious error of our ways. The great Martin Louis The King Jr. shall not be mocked! Hopefully we've all learned from this near tragedy. LOL! Alright, all jokes aside though, I am grateful that the homie Kanye West reconsidered and lifted the ban this afternoon to release "Christian Dior Denim Flow".
As usual, Yeezy keeps hitting us with that G.O.O.D. old posse cut combo - featuring some artists that I really L.O.V.E. to hear and others that I ... well ... ummmmmmm ... don't wanna hear so much of ... lol.
The biggest surprise here is Lloyd "Laryngitis Fo' Life" Banks appearing on this haute couture track. The biggest disappointment is whatever the fuck Kid Cudi vomits @ the end of this track. It is what it is. Enjoy!
The First Lady Of LiveSyle Says: The name on the screenshot should explain why I took interest into this movie. Zoe has the best character name ever! I hope she doesn't disappoint me. Y.O.U. can find me front row and center to see her and Idris amongst the others come April 23rd. Not to mention, I have the
Annual
St. Johns Fashion Show and the Spring Concert with J. Cole and Ryan Leslie the same weekend. (A lil' shameless promo never hurt. LOL!)
Let's see if I can manage a LiveStyle field trip to the movies, I'm sure some of Y.O.U. movie buffs would appreciate our presence.
I'm out here makin' moves... Catch me while Y.O.U. can!
"Sort of like getting two expensive watches for the price of one very expensive watch right? No, not quite, but you do get a "day" and "night" side for both the evening and daytime character of the timepiece. Piaget always like to play around with luxury designs when it comes to the Limelight series. Not being particularly en vogue right now among women's watches, I found it interesting for them to release a reversible watch. The timepiece has two complete dials, each with its own Piaget 56P quartz movement that is independently adjustable. Theoretically you have a watch with two timezones as well.
The watch case is in 18k white gold with a "hidden" time adjuster for each movement. There are three versions of the watch. Two with a black satin strap, and the cream of the crop model with the white gold and diamonds chains (six vertical ones that connect on each of the two ends) bracelet (total of 680 brilliant cut diamonds for this Haute Joaillerie version of the Limelight Twice watch). Both dials are off-centered and about as easy to read and Piaget could have made them (meaning bring you phone as a back up clock). The dauphine hands help though while looking stately, and the "night" side with the Roman numerals is probably the easier to read, but both sides quite pretty to look at. This watch just might be the cure for that "I can't spend big during the recession" problem you've been having lately. It is about now during mention of possible economic upswings after a long recession when big spenders get tired of not spending cause it was politically incorrect to do so."
CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Since it's inception waaaaaaaay back in 1874 by Georges Piaget in the village of La Côte-aux-Fées, Switzerland, the Piaget firm has become synonymous with exalted luxury and, as such, is universally regarded as 1 of the world's most prominent prestige brands. Taking the high price road during such recessionary times and, by virtue of defiantly refusing to acknowledge current economic realities, tapping into our aspirational side is precisely what Piaget and companies of their breed must do in the hopes of affecting a pleasant money mood change in their cosmopolitan clientele. For their part, Piaget has just introduced the dazzling double-sided Piaget Limelight Twice Watch for 2009.
Composed of signature Piaget 56P quartz movements an 18kt white gold case and a banded row of brilliant cut diamonds that would make officer Rick Ross wanna press charges (NOTE: Also available with a more conservative satin watch strap as well), the latest in their popular Limelight timepiece series is designed for a dime who's holding a little bit more change than her beauty status would imply. Yes, it retails for somewhere in the neighborhood of $58,000, but, if Y.O.U. really break it down, you're actually only paying $29,000 per watch. Now, is that a bargain or what ma!? LOL! Good shit!
BONUS:
If Y.O.U. thought that the "Diamond Girl" allusion contained in the title of this luminous entry was in reference to Ryan Leslie, well, Y.O.U. thought wrong. I can't blame Y.O.U. though, I relish my role as a pop-culture anthropologist and I rarely miss an opportunity to forgo predictability and unearth a rare gem or 2 for my loyal Livestyle community of readers and leaders. Yeah, I frequently deliberately make my shit extra random ... lol.
Listen, life aint just rap and, particularly if Y.O.U. grew up in NYC during the 1980's around ANY Puerto Ricans, then chances are that Y.O.U. are only too familiar with this classic freestyle gem "Diamond Girl" recorded by the group Nice & Wild. Wepaaaaaaaa!!!! Stop frontin'. Press play homie!
Congratulations Fab! I feel like he is one of a select few taking everything by storm right now. I appreciate and respect his grind. It must be a BROOKLYN thing! Keri looks nothing less then stunning. And this just might be my favorite hook she's done since Help with Lloyd Banks. Glad she has progressed in her career to come to this point. Because, sadly enough, no one really knew who she was on Rotten Apple. That's funny, because now, just a few years later, nobody really knows who Lloyd Banks is ... how's that for a role reversal ... lol. I keed. I keed. Oh yeah, Ryan Leslie is a genius. I really shouldn't have to expect less from him. With that being said...
CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS:Message To Pusha T: Can Y.O.U. feel that? That is the ease upon your shoulders as Y.O.U. finally begin to free yourself of your burdensome brother Malice. Y.O.U. talk a lot about "weight", huh? How about moving some dead weight for once my nigga? LOL. I keed. I keed. Do ya thing homie.
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.
