THAT GO LIFE

Go Hard

Not a huge DJ Khaled fan due to his obnoxious yelling, but Kanye and T-Pain are on this song. Kanye now doesn't sing without the vocoder. What will be the next innovation? Helium singing?

I liiike (Borat style)...Lykke Li

This Swedish-born singer is an indie star and I'm diggin' her don't give a F$$$ness. She's not concerned with the image so she don't compromise the style. You gotta respect that these days. Her video for her hit single "I'm good, I'm gone " is a prime example of her creative style and deterrance from the conventional...

"Breaking it up" is my favorite song by Lykke Li. We'll soon have some of her songs for your guys listening pleasure in an upcoming post.

Dance wiv me

I played this in my car loud yesterday and I realized how much I like this song. Dance music + rap... its hard to resist. Plus the sound of Dizzee Rascal's UK flow is very entertaining for us Americans.

Staircase Tower

Check out these designs recently revealed for a 24-story residential tower by the Office for Metropolitan Architecture. This unique building is set to be completed in New York City by 2010.

The windows on the upper floors get increasingly longer meaning some high ceiling luxury living. On the topside of the building, there are many balconies while the underside of the staircase serves as see-through glass floor views of the street below. There's no way I'm living in a suburb while I'm young, when I could be living in something like this. That Go!

Ryan Leslie's first album is on sale Tuesday!

It's about time Ryan Leslie released his own album! Check out his second feature music video. Ryan talked about one of his addictions in a recent promo interview for the single: constant creation. Whether it be music, film, or photography, Ryan says he can't keep his creativity bottled up. Some people out there are cool with desk jobs and number crunching as long as they get the paycheck, but That Go life is all about getting the paycheck and building something new and fresh at the same time.

Federica Ridolfi

 

Federica is a popular Italian actress who has appeared in soccer-oriented variety shows and a few comedy movies.

yikes. I wish I had Italian TV...

The Ambassador of the Bay

I love this video! How funny is E-40 shaking his dreads?? This song definitely grew on me. At first I wasn't used to hearing E-40's flow on a non-hyphy Konvict beat, but then I realized that every time this song came on when I was out and about, everyone starts going nuts... maybe that's just because I live in the Bay. I think the world needs this kind of rap. This music is nothing but good vibes and dancing... definitely unique... it's no T.I., Jay-Z, 50 Cent, Lil-Wayne etc. I would call that music rap that you can dance to, but only if you're dancing like a gangsta. I understand Hyphy is dead, but E-40 music is still something you can dance to regardless of how silly you look or how little dance skill you have.

That Go Entrepreneur: Barry Sternlicht

HOTEL KING, Barry Sternlicht is best known for being the CEO of Starwood Hotels and creating the W Hotels line. Sternlicht earned his MBA from Harvard and started Starwood Capital in 1992 after several years of hard work and $52 million in investor capital. Thanks to unique tax structure and debt finance, Sternlicht was able to buy companies like Westin and Sheraton for $15 billion. Sternlicht started his own hotel project to build an upscale hotel with bigger beds, better pillows, better TVs, and a distinguishable modern style... and all of it was to be built for the same cost it took to build rooms at the Westin.

The W has since attracted the most talented architects and designers around the world and has become the prime destination for the young trendy business person and socialite.

 

 

In 2005, Sternlicht left Starwood Hotels and is now starting all over again with his own firm, Starwood Capital (no affiliation to Starwood Hotels). Sternlicht has been working on three new projects aimed at the high-end consumer: an ultra exclusive line called "Crillon", a casual luxury residence and resort line called "Baccarat", and a line of eco friendly hotels called "1".
