    Players Ball XBIZ July 10th - final artist decision being made, need input

    After a very long hunt for the main artist, we've narrowed it down.

    We tried for the biggest artists we could get. It wasn't an issue of them being too much money in some cases, it just didn't work out in their scheduling.

    So we have some interesting options.

    Out of the big rappers I suggested, we tried for Nas, The Game, Ice Cube or E40. Only E40 is available on that date. And he made a good deal for us and said he'd love to do it.

    If you're not a big fan of his, you might be after seeing him live. He has a ton of club bangers, you might already know his songs but not even know it's E40.

    Here's some of E40's hits

    E40 also is credited for creating most of the slang you hear in hip hop. You smell me?



    Another option is Dave Navarro & DJ Scribble

    Some samples of what you might see.

    In addition to these options, I might be able to add DJ QBert to this event. Hopefully we can get 1 or 2 more sponsors and we'll be good to go!

    I'd highly recommend clicking some of these youtube links so you can give me your best input. Keep an open mind.

    Also, the Players Ball will have a new venue this year. The Empire Ballroom closed down. We started off at C2K, then Prana Lounge and Empire Ballroom. Not bad to have only 3 venues over 10 years in Vegas. Each club eventually closed their doors and we searched for a new home. So I'll be excited for a change of scenery this time. I'll haver the new venue locked in within the next week or so.

    If you have other suggestions for artist, I'll consider other options if they fit into the budget. But realistically, these 2 are in the price range and both would be totally hot.

    I'd like to thank Pussycash.com for taking the main sponsorship and CECASH & AEBN for their sponsorships as well.

    The CECASH Go Go dancers will be back! Definitely a highlight of our Vegas events.

    Surprise guests will be at the Ball, can't say who they are, but you'll be super impressed.

        Does Navarro just play his guitar along with whatever the dj is playing?

                  I love this clip...talk about living the dream:



                  Another vote for Dave Navarro - seen him many times with Jane's Addiction and Red Hot Chili Peppers, and he rocked every time!

                  Whomever you decide upon, I'm sure it will be another great Player's Ball...

                      Really? I saw RHCP as an opening act for the Stones in 94 or 95. I was really looking forward to seeing them.

                      Ranks among the worst acts I have ever seen.

                            I'm biased cause I worked his solo album...

                            but Navarro 100x over...


                            Great live Show

                                As far as I know, they jam. Not sure if it's a structured set or not.

                                It looks like the DJ plays to the crowd and Navarro jams along.

                                      That is the impression I got as well. Think I have to go with the rapper this time.

                                            I voted Navarro. I also voted D-Money as "cool as a mo-fo"

                                              How does Dave Navarro fit into a PLAYERS ball?? He doesn't even fit into ONE of E40's PLAYERS BALLS..

                                              All these Dave Navarro votes are just "I don't like rap music" votes

                                              BIGUPS to BADDOG for knowing wtf the Players Ball is all about!

                                                    Tough choice but I'll pick Navarro I guess.

                                                    I'd throw in two others though who might not be expensive:

                                                    Flobots (that damn handlebars song is stuck in my head, but they are actually a great live performance)

                                                    Dead Celebrity Status (I partied with these guys back in their Project Wyze days, very talented IMO)

                                                      You're right, it shows that there has never been and never will be much crawing for rap among the adults, it's just pushed to be in vogue, as far as Navarro will most probably be remembered for ages for beeing with Jane's and RHCHP, noone will ever know who was E40 in a couple years..

                                                        Rock is where it is at IMO - Even at a Players ball.

                                                                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.

                                                                    LOL.. are you kidding me dude? He has put out over 23 albums... And He's appeared on HUNDREDS of other artists songs.. No one will know who E-40 is in a couple years? Wipe the spider webs from your eyes man.. E-40 is a legend in Bay Area Hip Hop... He's influenced so many people..

                                                                    He started rapping in 7th grade, was always into music, he played drums at age 8.. He was selling shit out of the trunk just like Too Short.. He's a true entrepreneur which equals out to him having the clout to play at the players ball in my opinion..

                                                                    Much like Novaro, he has influenced alot of people..

                                                                            Glad those who know from E40 are speaking up.

                                                                            For me, it's a coin toss between the 2, that's why I posted this asking for feedback.

                                                                            Once I hear back from Navarro, whether he'll take my offer or if he's even available that date, then it's decision time.

                                                                            IF anyone is even slightly considering a sponsorship for the Players Ball and you have a preference, your money can be the difference in who performs. If you want a smaller sponsorship and you'd like Navarro/Scribble, it can happen as easily as hitting me up right now and I can lock either option in with 1 or 2 more sponsors.

                                                                            YOU can have the power of who's playing. That simple.

                                                                            But if you don't care and I make the decision, I might flip a coin or go for the least expensive between the 2.

                                                                            Feedback...
