A$AP Rocky Talks His Forthcoming Debut Album, Touring With "Wheelchair Jimmy" x Why The "2012 XXL Freshman Class" Is "Corny As Fxck!" @ SXSW 2012 @ Fuse.Com.

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Whilst I still can't fully wrap my ever independent, artistically sophisticated and stylishly appointed mind around all of the hype surrounding desperately "Trill", Houston, Texas Hip Hop impersonator, A$AP Rocky, I DO respect this young man's candor. This nigga is right! The "XXL Freshman Class" list is perennially "corny" ... and this year is no fucking different.

Intended to highlight all of the cool, new talent that Hip Hop fans have to look forward to, this sad showcase has only become a painful yearly reminder that A) 99% of what remains of the former Hip Hop industry power structure as we knew it is still inhabited by dick rider zombie-like dullards whom lack either the balls and/or brains necessary to be creative and B) today's D.I.Y. music scene has simultaneously destroyed the entertainment industry's aloof "old guard" (NOTE: A beautifully liberating thing!) and let everybody with a microphone, an FL Studio program and a Youtube account become a star! (NOTE: Not such a cool thing.) *Cue Kanye Shrug* Ehhh, what Y.O.U. gonna do? #SWAG

Amber Rose Talks Kanye West's "WTT" Philly, Philly Tour Stop "Apology" @ XXL.Com.

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Sooooooooooooooooooooo, apparently a few days ago @ the Philadelphia stop of the "Watch The Throne" tour, Kanye West got wrapped ALL up in the complimentary emotional Snuggie® afforded valorized visitors to the "City Of Brotherly Love" and was so moved that he dedicated his hit "Runaway" to his former flame, one Ms. Amber Rose.

Without mentioning everybody's favorite Newport™ 100's menthol flavored nymph by name, Kanye West said, and I quote, "To the city of Philly, I want to thank y'all for making the incredible person that this song was made for". SMH. Message To Kanye West: Dog, it's over. Wiz Khalifa dry cleaned, starched AND ironed his "Black and Yellow" cape, swooped in for the kill on this broad and, believe it or not, Y.O.U. should count your lucky stars that he did!

Anyway, thanks to the internet firestorm that Mr. West, Mr. West's public "apology" caused, a gracious Svedka Robot Girl - clad in 1 of her many Patti LaBelle post cataract surgery recovery sized pairs of ballerific sunnies - sat down with XXL and chopped it up about her ex and his recent Hallmark® licensed overture @ his show. Fuck it!

XXL Magazine Presents: Break Ya Neck: Tahiry's Rearview Butt-Cam = 100% #LUSTY.

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Ladies and gentlemen of Livestyle, I lustily submit to Y.O.U. what is quite possibly the greatest recorded urban social experiment in the history of behavioral science. Thank Y.O.U. XXL Magazine ... your selfless contribution to the advancement of the study of bountiful backsides shall not be forgotten ... lol.

Do yall see the havoc that this ass is wreaking on niggas necks b!? Bear witness as men AND women alike BOTH catch the sneaky whiplash as shorty struts her fluffy stuff down a crowded 125th Street in Harlem, USA. Dog, she's doing all this in a pair of standard issue Nike Air Max and workout sweats ... no heels; no special effects.

Dammitman! Right about now, Tahiry Jose has arguably got - and in this deceptive era where build-a-body glorified strippers rule the world I mean this in every GOD given sense of the word - the REALEST backyard in the game my nigga! Wooooooooooooow! *Wipes drool* Stop playing.
