You Know My Steez

Prolly shoulda done this before but hey...better late than never.

I'm Karsten V. I'm a lotta things, good and bad. I'm a 23 year old Jamerican (Jamaican/American) from Brooklyn, NY, the best borough on earth (even better is that I'm from Flatbush). Welcome to my personal blog and you can also follow me on Twitter @The100kShow

I'm redesigned my blog (well not really, but thanks for the template) as I was getting tired of the bland ass background that my old format had. I also have been going through a lot personally and I just wanted to start new and afresh. 

I blog on impluse as I can be very sporadic so there'll be days when I make multiple posts and days where I'm so busy/lazy to even enter one. I'm not exactly the most PC fellow out there and if you get offended easily, I'd advise you to go elsewhere.  I use profanity when I want and post up provacative videos so...take it for what it's worth. I'm not a perfect person, and as much as I decide to reveal on here, you all will come to accept it for what it is. 

Thanks for reading!

"So.....How Many Dudes Have You Slept With?"

Interesting trending topic on Twitter today....#dontwifeher....especially with cuffin' season right in effect. 

I went in (as usual, if you follow my Twitter, you'll know that I'm prone to go off on a tangent, so follow @ your own risk)....but one of my followers @TangyIsABoss brought up the point that most dudes cant accept the fact that some females have more than 5 partners.

True. We figure you have your first, your rebound after the first, the dude after the rebound, the dude in college and maybe the dude after college. Or something to that effect :-p

Me personally, I dont even bother to ask anymore. In my younger days and even now, I'd ask and look at the girl differently or not believe her anyway. If she could admit to me that she had a one night stand (or 5) or something of that nature, I tend to show them more respect especially since i'm no angel myself. It's not fair to point fingers and throw stones if you live in a glass house. I'd rather know a female is clean sexually especially since I cant control her past....and she definitely can't control mine. I trained my mind not to be shocked at anything a female says, especially with my entertaining and colorful dating history. You live and you learn, ya know? Not to mention Twitter is exposing a lotta undercover hookers...but that's neither here nor there.

Granted, there are some real ladies out there (I roll with a few)....who have sexual experience...but the way most dudes are nowadays, you could imagine why they aint gonna want to tell them their #s for a few reasons:

  • The average male cant comprehend the fact that a woman will by default have more options than he has. From puberty, women get slobbered over by most males in their social circles. Many dudes dont have as many option or have to work hard for female attention. This is why I tell all my homegirls post breakups that they have more options than they really think they do. They're usually called "male friends".
  • Women are typically raised from young to be the "purest" and to exhibit wife traits.  Social constructs (Judeo-Christian/religious ideals, etc) seem to dictate that a high number of sexual partners for a woman makes her "less attractive" as a wife.
  • I'm from the school of thought that says most women (no matter how cold they are) are more emotionally based in their reasonings and logic. If she's liking what dude is talking about and then she tells him her #s, he might look at her as just another piece of ass.
  • A dude doesnt want to be a cuckold and a lotta women know this.. Dont know what it means? Look it up

Solution: Take the shit day by day. Case by case as well. Just like you got #s, a lotta chicks got bodies on them as well. I by no means advocate wifing the local jumpoff (but someone WILL do it) so w/e...but be adult about your shit. Dont lie and just keep it funky.

Also fellas, if a female does not want to go to to a clinic with you or is acting flaky/jivey about it, leave her where you found her....especially if she's talking about a future with you.

Fall Outerwear Purchases

Hate window shopping....but these jackets will definitely be copped for the fall. I was a big fan of 10 Deep's summer line and they didnt disappoint with their Fall/Winter lookbook. Crooks also got some shit I'ma pick up pretty soon. My spot where I copped a lotta sample Crooks stuff shut down and it felt like I lost part of my soul...but that's neither here nor there...

"La Bomba"-Cam'Ron feat. Vado

Killa Bitch!!!!!!

New video for "La Bomba" off the "Boss of All Bosses" mixtape that dropped a while (courtesy of WSHH).Featuring Vado...who spits really simple..but with enough conviction.Son is kinda interesting to listen to. Comes off as what Juelz shoulda been....



DL "Boss of All Bosses" here

Blueprint III



I also copped that Blueprint III earlier on this week. Honestly, and this is the first time that it's happened, but I was more excited for another artists' release than Hov with Raekwon releasing in the same week. Admittedly, I'm a Hov stan and was amped for damn near every release the man has put out, but with the leaks of certain tracks, I was sorta disappointed from what I heard. I thought they leaked it on purpose but obviously not.....

The album really isnt that bad upon my third listen. Even Cudi, who I have a remarkable dislike for as an artist,showed up on "Already Home". The standout track on the album is "Empire State of Mind" featuring Alicia Keys which details NY home pride; the song holds more weight to me especially after 9/11. This is more of a statement album, with songs like "DOA" and "Off That" showing Hova flexing his trendsetting muscle and declaring what's wack. I dont like "Run This Town" as Rihanna's voice just irritates the shit outta me.

"So Ambitious" is a MUTHAFUCKING problem. J. Cole gets a chance to shine on the "Star Is Born"(Having met him a couple of times and seeing him pass out "The Warm Up" mixtapes at Le Poisson Rouge, he's earned my respect of his artistry). For the direction the album took, I could see why there's no Bleek, Beans, etc features but Hova coulda at least threw Chris on there (especially if Cudi got on there...like c'mon). Jeezy totally kills "As Real As It Gets". "Venus Vs. Mars" is pretty dope as well.

"It all good/the streets is A&Ring this....I went from pauper to the president/Cuz every deal I ever made set precedents..."-"So Ambitious"

The album is prolly a 3.8/5 album to me right now. I was pleasantly shocked. I expected it to be as bad as Kingdom Come but it really was not.

"Stapleton Sex" Video...NSFW 8-0



First heard this track from my man A. King. I was like WOW....so it made sense that the video would take the direction it did. This is off the upcoming "Wizard of Poetry In Emerald City" album due out the 29th of this month. i also heard a track called "Guesthouse" with Fabolous that was pretty dope as well.

Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II


About muthafuckin' time...

So OB4CL II came out last week. Tried to get into the release party @ Santos as it had Rae, Ghost, Cappadonna, Beans, Lyfe and Diddy. It was an absolute mad house...Went up there with some people but we didnt get in...it was w/e

So I end up getting a connect to go to the SOBs show...it was pretty dope...

I was VERY impressed by the album when I heard it. I'm big on lyricism and was a huge fan of the first one. This took me back to '95...my cousins were big Wu/Raekwon fans and used to bump this album religiously..

Very solid album....damn near flawless....the only track I'm not a big fan of is "Catalina" with Lyfe Jennings....other than that it's a solid purchase. I said on Twitter that after this album, I dont wanna hear another coke rap album for the rest of the year...and yes that includes Clipse and Jeezy...it's about time we had a rap album that sticks to its strengths and doesnt have a million and one R&B tracks on it.....



Go out and support real hip-hop.
