Well, I do think I have an idea what a Players Ball is all about.

IF the act was more rock, I'd go with the Rock The Ball name and save the Players Ball for a true Players Ball style artist.

HOWEVER

Navarro vs Scribble from what I've seen so far, they play current hip hop and rap with awesome guitar licks jamming to it. If the music is dancable, like a hip hop show, then it's more of a Players Ball. But you know what, Navarro rocks so hard over it, it could be a perfect 50/50 split of rock and hip hop.

The true vibe of the Players Ball is all about the vibe in the room. Hip Hop artists bring with them a swagger. You know what I mean? Like the Stones are awesome, but they don't have a Players Ball type of attitude or swagger. E40 totally does, Snoop, Cube, Cypress Hill, Xzibit, etc, they all have it. Navarro being a "porn industry" person lately give him that swagger. He's all about it. Plus he has a cockyness commonly found in rap stars. Swagger.

Now if the music Navarro vs Scribble played sounded more "Janes Addiction like", it would be called a Rock The Ball without a doubt.
