2 Chainz Rocks An Ugly A$$ Christmas Sweater, With $90K Of Diamonds & Gold On It, On ‘The Most Expensivest Sh*t’ (Video)

Man… RIP Craig Sager. If only he and 2 Chainz had had a photo opp for this. Sager in one of his trademark outlandish courtside outfits; 2 Chainz in something like this ‘Most Expensivest Sh*t’

To get into the holiday spirit 2 Chainz and his jeweler, Joe Avianne of Avianne & Co, designed and created the Most Expensivest ugly Christmas sweater ever. The sweater was auctioned off by 2 Chainz, and the proceeds were given to the TRU Foundation.

Spoiler alert: The sweater… NOT that ugly.

Eye Candy: Blue Diamond (Video)

Always after her ‘Lucky Charms’… that’s me. Get it? The cereal with the Blue Diamonds? Nevermind, get some old schooler to explain it or Google it. But later for the Google; now we gotta ‘oogle’ someone special. Watching this Honey is a surefire way to get through this mess we call Monday. Cheerio! Like the cereal? Nothing?

(Tough crowd. Maybe dropping the Instagram link will help loosen ’em up.)

What it is is G.O.O.D. Music. A collab between Common and Big Sean called “Diamonds” seems right. A rare gem to be admired worldwide. A good look – and sound – though “Nobody’s Smiling” … the LP is dropping July 22, 2014.

J DILLA – DIAMONDS (THE SHINING PT. 1) [PROD. BY NOTTZ]

She’s A Rare Find. But That Diamond You’re About To Buy Her… Not So Much!

BWE

‘As soon as you leave the jeweler with a diamond, it loses over 50% of its value.’

Rohin Dhar, BusinessInsider.com

Fellas, why… why do we do it? With the money we spend convincing your special lady, her friends, and every onlooker (now and in the future) of the eternal love we have for her… with a big shiny rock… an investment in a nice nest egg could be made. Within a few years, you’d both have some real ‘finance for the romance’ down the road. But instead,

‘Americans exchange diamond rings as part of the engagement process, because In 1938 De Beers decided that they would like us to. Prior to a stunningly successful marketing campaign 1938, Americans occasionally exchanged engagement rings, but wasn’t a pervasive occurrence.’

That’s right. The ‘grand tradition’ of showing everlasting love with a rare diamond started as a marketing campaign… and the tradition isn’t even a century old! Plus, that ‘rare’ diamond isn’t even all that rare. De Beers holds the diamond supply in check to make it seem that way.

Amen? Amen!
(Disclaimer: Now… but if you show up without for the big proposal without that rock… Her answer… well, that on you. But you’ll have good sense and sound financial principle on your side.)

Mmm! Rihanna with her sexy azz! She’s leaking “Diamonds” off her upcoming album “Unapologetic” (available for pre-order at iTunes in advance of its November 19, 2012, release). The joint has the standard (but good, don’t get me wrong) melodic musings of the island diva, but the visuals… that makes this leak go bananas and… wait… is that dude… walking… ON FIRE??? Rihanna got insurance and CRAZY stuntmen y’all! Watch.

Cali emcee keeping it fresh… Fashawn with “Diamonds and Girls” (produced by JBLS). This joint – off the upcoming album “Champagne and Styrofoam Cups” (due out November 20, 2012) – features K-Young… and the beat is just what you’d expect.

Styles P Speaks On The Diamond Life Project, Rock The Bells, The Passing Of Chris Lighty, & More (Video)

In his interview with The Breakfast Club (Power 105 Morning Show), Styles P (the self-proclaimed ‘Elder Statesman of Hip-Hop’) lets us know about “The Diamond Life Project” (available FREE here), that ‘the bars are back’ (e.g. lyricism has returned to Hip-Hop), and that (for the most part) he’s a good guy selling juice at his juice bar and doing his music. On the music, Styles P said he is “working on” a solo joint and LOX is working on a group joint, too… We’ll see. Styles kept it light for the sit-down, but he had to touch on the silliness (read: shamefulness) of the Mobb Deep beef and on the tragedy of the loss of Chris Lighty. Respect. Of course, there’s more to the video than that. Watch the interview for the rest. Good stuff.
