Lou

Lou

while your at it, remove privatechannels too, vs dropped all their feeds.

Tony,
bro you have no idea how much I love and respect you. If it weren't for Tony Morgan, most of you would still never have met me or even seen me and the rest of our crew. Its my friendship with Tony that has brought me to the shows and allowed me to meet great people in this industry who I now consider my very good friends such as lots of you who are reading this now. Thanks for everything you do man and if you ever need anything bro, just ask. Hopefully things will work out for the ATL boys and we will see you up here for the SuperBowl.

Lou

12. Ever been an acomplice to a stalking incident in Mexico?

Yes I have. Cancun show this year we are all at this club called The City. 50 Cent is there for a concert and we are in a huge group of people. This is of course made available by Tony Morgan, Chris Mallick, and Ron Cadwell. So we are chilling in the vip area and there is this hot girl and everyone and I mean everyone is all over her. Well Roger V. don't say shit to her. About 40 minutes later I see Roger talking to her and BAM we are all leaving the club and Roger and her take off from the group of people. This is actually called the NINJA. Where he gets out of there with her before someone else fucks it up for him. :1orglaugh. So I am thinking its all good they are just gonna hook up and thats that. Well not exactly. The next day Roger is freaking out and saying to me DUDE that girl is from Tampa. I am from Tampa so what the fuck are the odds of me running into a hot ass girl like that from Tampa. And I am like man whatever forget about it. Well he didnt want to forget about it and there I am walking down a Mexcio road with Roger to this girls hotel. We dont know shit about her. He knows hers name and thats it. So we get to the hotel and the hotel front desk aint having it. We cant even be on the property without a room and a wrist band. So Roger is not gonna give up and says can I get a pool pass. They say sure 75 bucks each and Roger buys us both bands. Then Roger sees her and I am like oh fuck bro we are so stalking this girl. I just got this feeling like last night was last night and we are in Cancun man so basically beat it. So we are akwardly just sitting at the pool with her friend and herself and Roger is running mad game. I am laughing and watching the PIMP hand being layed down. Next thing you know he is in the ppol with her and hugging on her, etc... and they hung out for the rest of the show. They get home and continued the relationship and are now still together and very happy. So he stalked his current girlfriend. Bottom line to this story is don't give up if its something you really want. Roger and Amanda: love you guys and its awesome to see you guys still together. Side note...Amanda is the coolest girl I have ever met. She is a guy, but in a hot female body. She understands Roger will be Roger and that any other girl he wants to stare at and flirt with dont mean shit to Roger and that he loves her, but likes to have his fun. Trust me she is perfect for Roger! :thumbsup

13. I heard you love to eat Sushi and Seafood aka "robsta craws" why do you love it so much?

truth is I hate all seafood. I never liked any seafood so this is just like a little inside joke with Roger, Amada and her girlfriend Katie. They all love Sushi, but we never eat it when I am with them, becuause I cant eat that stuff. As for the Wrobsta Craws, thats just my joke with the girls. They like my accent when I pronounce it that way with this deep accent.

14. How do you stay up till 6am every weekened? Medical help?

Not actually 6am, but I have always been a very late person. I wake up at about 10-11am every morning and go to bed about 3-4am everyday for the last 15 years of my life maybe. As for medical help, none whatsoever. I don't drugs at all and I will explain this more in depth in future questions.

Louis

Respect

You custom shooting jobs were my life blood for alot of years!

thanks for leting a dirty young man become a dirty old man

Do you remember the Heaven and Hell parties in Prague?

15. Discuss your thoughts on drugs and booze and partying in this industry and how it effects you and the people in it.

My thoughts are simple. I want people to do what they want to do. If I choose not to do some business or hang out with someone it most likely will not be because of how hard or little they party. I am a party guy. I like the clubs, the girls, drinks, etc... But I just choose not to get high. And again this will be touched upon more in the addictive personality question coming up a bit later. But mainly if someone is fucking up or not doing what they are supposed to be doing when it comes to a business relationship or a friendship, then I will step in and try to resolve things. If things are too out of hand, then I will simply step back and not associate myself with that particular situation or person and most definitely not be caught in the crosshairs. And of course, if I can help the person I will. So if you wish to party and use drugs, then I do not judge you, all I hope is that it is truly recreational use and you have a control on it and it does not affect you in any major way.

What a sausage fest :1orglaugh

look good

16. Why are you such a soar looser at poker?

I am very competitive. I love to win. I am not a sore loser. Thats my brother fucking with me by telling you I am a sore loser. I hate to lose and when some idiot makes a bad call and knocks me out of a tournament, I let him have it. I am never disrespectful, but I say shit like how the hell do you make that call, etc... Then I swear Im done playing this fucking game, then next Tuesday Im at the same game again. I am sure lots of you reading this will relate to this if you play hold em. I hate that game, but cant stop playing it.

17. Is it right to hit a woman in the face? (re astroworld)

I dont believe in hitting a woman for any reason whatsoever. The problem is I didnt realize this until I was after about 10 years old or so. So the story goes like this my brother and I are like 8 and 10 years old and we lived in Houston at this time. There was a big amusement park there called Astroworld. Well my dad would drop us off there in the mornings and pick us up when he closed the grocery store down at like 10 or whatever. It was a great, fun, and safe place to spend your summers as a kid. Lots of cool things to do and concerts of groups like Depeche Mode, etc.. Well anyways the rule was we had to call my dad and check in every 2 hours or so. So I am on the phone telling my dad I just won this fucking HUGE stuffed animal(I threw a ring around a bottle) and this girl who is like 15 or 16 starts tapping on the glass of the phone booth. I look over and she says get off the phone asshole. I look at her still talking on the phone and flip her off. Well I eventually hang up the phone and start walking off with my brother and this HUGE stuffed animal and all of a sudden this girl comes up from behind me and pushes me saying fuck me huh fuck me...well fuck you mother fucker. Im just standing there not doing anything and she just charges right at me so I swung once and dropped her. I picked up the stuffed animal looked at my brother and said lets go. So again, I would never do that now, but I was a kid then and that happened so fast I just reacted.

Oh boy, that looks like a hard days work. You have a tough job. :upsidedow

18. How old are you and your partner? Who is your partner? discuss

I am 31 and my brother who is 29 is my partner. My brother Jeff whom most of you have never met is pretty opposite of myself. He is laid back and not high strung like me. He is the most honest person I know and a perfectionist. Karups was his idea. He was surfing around free sites in late 96 and said im gonna start a small free site. Well I wasnt doing anything major at the time and said lets do it. So we got the ball rolling and started trading traffic with all the guys from those days and built up solid friendships and relationships. And he was pretty much the frontman for the company at that time. Nobody even remembered me LOL. Then we started Karups Private Collection and I started running the content, members area updates, and running lots of other day to day activities. So through that I started to become more of the face of Karups. Jeff personally does not prefer to attend the shows and just gets business done via email and phone calls.

19. Where did you get the name Karups from? explain in detail

This is all Jeff. He liked the rapper named Karupt from Snoop Doggy Doggs group called the Dogg Pound. Jeff used to use this screen name in all the AOL PW rooms to trade passwords to adult paysites :helpme His screenname was KARUPAZHELL. So when we started a site we just went with Karups. We regretted it after we got big in the begining becuase we wanted something like teenbabes or teensluts, etc...but in the end we are glad we went with a name that is very recognizable now. We branded it and found out that was a very good move afterall.

20. Talk about what it's like to do telemarketing to get donations for pig vests.

When I first moved up to Detroit from Texas my cousins were all working at this telemarketing firm selling bullshit sponsorships to people trying to get them to donate money to get bulletroof vests for cops and to educate kids about fire safety. So I started working there with a few cousins and my brother and we went to the phones and got people to send money. We used to get all types of crazy people to tell us to fuck off, etc...We used to always joke as well that when the person would ask what is this money going towards we would say well Maam the owner of this company needs a new Ferrari and honestly he cannot live with only one so if you could be so kind as to donate money he will even be kind enought to cut you off on the road with the Ferrari that you bought him :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Lou what nationality are you? sorry if this has been posted already.

Awesome interview :-)

I'd like to throw my two cents on the bandwagon and reiterate that the Karups crew is *@(^T&@! Awesome ... Great to work with in the Mandy situation, and even better to party with.

I have the utmost respect for you Lou, both as a friend and a businessman. :thumbsup :thumbsup

Hi,
I am Palestinian. I was born here, but both my parents were born there.

Louis

Thanks Bro! Awesome getting to know you as well! I hope you grow even more in 2006.

Lou

21. What is @home? How did it relate to your business in the begining? discuss in detail

We were one of the first people in Michigan to beta test broadband and they offered it to us for free to try it out. Back then it was called @home network. We tried it and loved it and they offered us 5 free megs of web space with the service. Well as you can imagine the names Jeff and Lou were taken so my brother used the name Karup which was the name of his favorite rapper at the time. So Karup's Gallery was first hosted on the @home network till they saw the bandwidth and kicked us off and we then had to get some real hosting. Thats how it got started.

Lou

22. Post pics of your home. Talk about it. What other non porn related real estate/ assets do you own?

Here is my house in Michigan. I just got it finished in July 2004. I am now doing the basement and putting in a pool so it will be even better next summer. I will post pics of the pool then if anyone remembers to ask about it per a followup or something. I own this house and lots of other property. I also own a land development and building company with my best friend. I am very active in stocks and real estate and I want to develop shopping centers and larger subdivisions in the near future. I had 2 homes in Vegas, but have sold one recently. I dont have pics of those homes as those are and were strictly investment properties only. Vegas was the best for real estate in the past 4 years as most other big cities were, but has since cooled down. Anyways heres the house...

great interview, lets here more...

you gettin' this shit over with or what??
:upsidedow
BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMPass

23. What are some of the wildest places you've had sex? What's the most amount of women (or men) you've had sex with in one day? At one time?

The wildest place was probably at Rehab which is held at the Hard Rock Hotel on Sundays. It was Memorial day weekend and I was with the normal crew and me and my girl just went to the jacuzzi area and got all worked up so we grabbed 2 towels and went up in like these trees and wooded area. We layed down the towels and got busy. It was okay, but I was always afraid of getting busted. Not to mention JFK could have popped out of nowhere and post this shit here :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh
Note to JFK: you should not have any photos like this, but if you do please do not post.

I have had sex with 3 women in one day, but these were all girls that I had been with before. I have been with 2 girls on me twice. The second pair of girls were way better than the first. Plus they were more recent and was just into both them much more.

24. How do you know if a woman (or man) likes you for your money or for you?

This is very easy IMO. I just know. First of all, my circle is very small. All 3 of my best friends have either known me before the money or have lots of money themselves and we just connected on a friendship level with sharing the same interests, etc.. As for women...this is even easier. I have the girl I love so all other girls are just for fun. So whether they are all about the money or not, I dont really care because they are never around long enough to get any of it. :pimp. They party with me and everyone is happy. I spend money, they look good, I look good, we have lots of fun and bye bye. I will worry about that when I get to be 55, and completely bald and cant get young hot girls on my own. Then we can discuss women and money in the same sentence.
