Chris Botti - My Funny Valentine (Live)
NEW MUSIC: Cam'ron - I Used To Get It In Ohio (Video Prelude)
Cam'ron "I Used to Get It In Ohio" video prelude from Miss Info on Vimeo.
St. Valentine's Day Massacre OR S.ingle A.wareness D.ay.

"I wrote your name in the sand but the waves washed it away,
I wrote your name in the clouds but the winds blew it away,
so I wrote your name in my heart and forever it will stay." - Unknown
CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Although there is much merit to the cynical opinion that regards the current celebration of St. Valentine's Day as just another corporate construct that employs media pressure and coercion to convince men that, if they truly care about the woman in their life, they must pronounce it with gifts on this specific day, I can't complain too much. Why? Because I agree with the overall sentiment. No, it should not all come down to a forced gesture on some holiday that has, increasingly, lost it's meaning, however, L.O.V.E. is L.O.V.E. homie. That having been said, Happy Valentine's Day to all of my loyal Livestyle readers and I hope and pray that the true L.O.V.E. in your life transcends this romantic respite and, indeed, endures everyday for Y.O.U. and yours. GOD bless.

The Nike Sportswear Air Zoom ACG Tallac Lite Boots = HDTV For Your Feet.




"The new Nike ACG Tallac has been released. The boot features a very interesting and technical contruction, using a skeleton construction on the upper and an equally interesting strap closure. The grid design on the upper looks good and makes this a solid outdoor boot. It is now available at Concepts."

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: The fact that I am even creating an entry for such a sure "hipster" magnet of a shoe as these neon pink and blue accented dandies is weird for me. Indeed, if I didn't know me and I only saw the picrures in this post, I might fancy this as yet another bitch ass blog dedicated to tacky trend propaganda and the discouragement of true individuality. However, this is Livestyle and I am the man who put the "O.G." in the word "blog", so, believe me when I tell Y.O.U. that these Nike Sportswear Air Zoom ACG Tallac Lite shit kickers deserve my attention and yours too.
See, these are a re-working of a classic ACG model all spruced up to meet the demanding standards of today's voracious exclusive sneaker market. I mean, what can I say? Give me a classic pair of ACG boots over the current popular, but too-clunky-for-me ACG Goadome boots anyday.
Oh yeah, if Y.O.U. do plan on coppin' a pair of these, please resist any and all urges to go the super matchy route - don't make a mess of this and wind up walking around looking like a human glow stick my nigga ... lol. As always, subtlety, balance of contrast and a little bit of good ole common sense go a very looooooooong way and save the day!

Limited Edition Veuve Clicquot x Riva Cruise Collection Set AKA Young Yacht Club Business.




"And the very mention of Veuve Clicquot again would make you bath in champagne but this time not in an isolated room rather on a cruise in open sky. Yes, if you failed to put your fingers upon Veuve Clicquot Night Clubber and the lavish Champagne that they produced to celebrate their 130th anniversary then here is another that you make you feel surely high. Against its earlier association with Karim Rashid for Globalight Cum Champagne Cooler, now Veuve Clicquot is in news for designing a cruise collection for luxury Italian boat designer RIVA. Jason Bruges Riva is the luxury speedboat company behind the iconic boats of the 60’s and the golden age of the Dolce Vita lifestyle. The design collaboration with Riva is for Veuve Clicquot’s top champagne (prestige cuvee) called La Grande Dame, and details two different accessories for Riva boats: a “made to order” piece and a limited edition one.
The “made to measure” cruise collection would cost $80,000 and includes 4 bottles of La Grande Dame 98, 2 magnums of La Grande Dame 88, 6 champagne flutes Riedel and 6 water tumblers, plates, table mats and cutlery. Another one is a limited edition cruiser bag with counted 300 pieces available and includes a bottle of La Grande Dame 98 and two champagne flutes. Expected to be available from July, it is priced at $425 and would be available at Veuve Clicquot.
All [of] the pieces are made of mahogany, chrome and leather - and made by some of the world’s best craftsmen."

Our choice of Veuve Clicquot as our favorite bubbly should come as no surprise though as the house that Philippe Clicquot-Muiron built waaaaaaaaaay back in 1792 played an integral part in establishing champagne as the preferred beverage of the haute bourgeoisie and nobility throughout Europe. Yeah, basically, we are in good company ... lol.
With that said, Y.O.U. already know that I fuxs with this Limited Edition Veuve Clicqout and Riva Cruise Collection Set. While I might not be able to swing the custom made to order $80,000 joint, I'm all over the $425 set homie. Classy is as classy does. Good shit.

Lil Cease - Letter To B.I.G.
Hitting Newsstands Nextweek: Christina Milian Covers King Magazine's 50th Issue.

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: That's right! Myspace Music's 1st lady, Christina Milian, graces the cover of King Magazine's special 50th issue. Ms. Milian has been finer than frog hair for years my nigga (even though her relationship with that producer Dre of Cool & Dre semi-fame has put her status in serious jeopardy ... lol), however, King Mag hasn't been on their job like that lately, so I don't even know if there will be any pin-up/send-your-man-in-jail worthy captures of her OR any other shorty in this issue for that matter. Oh, don't get it twisted, I'm still gonna cop it though ... lol. It is what it is.
NEW MUSIC: Rick Ross - Push 'Em Over The Edge (G-Unit Diss)(Dirty)(NO DJ)
Streaming Audio/Download Link: Rick Ross - Push 'Em Over The Edge (G-Unit Diss)(Dirty)(NO DJ)
The use of the classic Eric B & Rakim "Know The Ledge" beat from the "Juice" movie soundtrack is yet another reminder that, despite his Southern roots, Ricky does have an affinity for and, more importantly, a great understanding of classic New York City Hip Hop - so, that's good too. My only thing is, again, with ALL of the gaping holes in his own story, I don't know if any of these diss tracks are really sticking. What's good?
BONUS:
This Livestyle reference was not a mere allusion to a subject, but, rather, a specific mention of the Eric B & Rakim gem "Know The Ledge" off of the "Juice" OST. Coming in @ just under 4 minutes, in 3 brilliant curse free verses (NOTE: Rakim never cusses in his songs) the 18th Letter deftly chronicles the highwire act life of a young crack slinger whose reign fades in and out just as quickly as does the record. Nobody does it better than the God Rakim ... nobody. Get ya mind right nigga!
Nike Dunk High Hyperstrike x "Coraline" Movie Promo Exclusivos + A LiveStyle Gift For My People!



"NIKE DUNK X CORALINE PROMO
Some days you see something that just makes your eyes pop out and this is it! Feast your peepers on the new promo Dunk made especially for the new animated film called Coraline. With a stack of references to the bespoke feel of the film, the LE edition as seen here comes in a box crammed with a bevy of odds and ends including rubber tails, oversize buttons, huge mouse/cat lacelockers and what appears to be fairy floss film props all wrapped up in a very tidy and well designed box. I'm not sure any bloggers have realised this as yet, but the sole is also glow in the dark - check our exc. pics for that nice little addition. So what can you say except behold the power and infinite cooldom of Nike Inc.? If it seems like an odd mix from left field, consider that Laika Films is a Phil Knight project... With this kind of attention to detail, the film promises to be off the hook as well! Thanks Hep-dog!
Coraline hits theatres February 6th with a chance to win 1 of 1000 pairs in some sort of competition that is linked to the credits....
FYI from Wikipedia.... Coraline is a horror novella by British author Neil Gaiman, published in 2002 by Bloomsbury and Harper Collins. It was awarded the 2003 Hugo Award for Best Novella, the 2003 Nebula Award for Best Novella, and the 2002 Bram Stoker Award for Best Work for Young Readers. It has been compared to Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland because of its surrealism and plot based in an alternate-reality."

Visit The Official "Coraline" Movie Website For Your Chance To Win A Pair Of The Nike Dunk High Hyperstrike x "Coraline" Promo Sneakers Here: Coraline's Room
CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Acting as a 1 man aggregator of information and filter of all things fresh means that occasionally some items will slip through the cracks of my comprehensive coverage. Case in point: The beautifully detailed and ridiculously limited edition of Nike Dunk High Hyperstrike x "Coraline" Promo kicks.
Limited to 50 premium promotional pairs and, heretofore, only available to lucky winners (and, of course, sneaker industry insiders) on the official "Coraline" movie website, these cat and mouse lace locked, rubber tailed, oversized coat buttoned, glow-in-the-dark bottomed beauties are now commanding upwards of $3,000 on eBay my nigga! Yeah, Y.O.U. already know how that goes ... lol. I have it on good word that this is actually a tiered release with 50 pairs of this edition featured here with the "works" going to website winners and friends and family of people involved with the movie, 100 pair of regular ones with just large buttons and 850 pairs of the standard issue shoe without all of the cool extras.
Now, because Livestyle is the best blog ever and I have the best readers ever, I think that my followers, such as old school partners like Mr. Aleika along with new homies like Dante and "Heiress The Terrorist", deserve a little gift.
See, not only are they selling the rare pairs of these Dunks on eBay already, they are also selling the password necessary to even enter to win these exclusive dandies @ www.coraline.com . C'mon, yall know that I don't play that! The secret password is "JERKWAD" (please remove the quotation marks ... jerk ... lol). Go to the appropriate link listed above and, after entering the password, guess away until Y.O.U. get 1 question right, fill in your information and pray to GOD that Y.O.U. win a pair of these kicks. Many will enter. Few will win. Y.O.U. know the drill homie.
