This has nothing to do with Hip Hop, Rock, or Alternative music ... it is an economic issue above all else!
I know for a fact D-Money paid Snoop close to 100k to appear at the Players Ball, and that was an incredible show!!!
He hasn't put a DIME in his pocket from ANY Players Ball to date! Every Sponsor $$$ goes into the venue and the acts!
The fact is, he wants to throw a party that webmasters will enjoy, and it seems like the economic enviornment is not allowing him to spend $$$ on artists like he did with Snoop!
Give credit where credit is due ... the man is just trying to continue with what has been a HALLMARK event at Internext for many years!

Well put. I'll add that it wasn't my money, it was the sponsors money that secured Snoop, CE Cash and Cyber Age should take the credit. I just have fun making these events the best I can make them. I can throw a dope party off of a shoe string budget or big budget, our crowd makes it the right vibe. People are ready to party hard at the Players Ball. Dressed like pimp and ho's, legendary talent at every show, awards, J$tyle$, KB and yours truly on the mic. Ju Tang Clan represents, like we always do 'bout this time.
I realized after having Snoop Dogg perform, haters will never be happy. People actually tried to say it sucked. Anons mostly. So when people say washed up talent about certain performers in the past, present or future, I realize some people will hate no matter who you get. If I did rock, I'd have way more people telling me to book rap. At some point you have to just know from good live shows and what would be the most fun. I have a few tricks up my sleeve still. The thing that I find the coolest, is when people at the shows come up to me and thank me for doing these parties. I can't tell you how many times I hear, "best party I've ever been to" or "best concert I've ever seen". It's nice to know that thousands of webmasters have been totally stoked out through the years of throwing these.
So once again, the big thanks in my book goes to the ones funding it, the sponsors. Epassporte helped me secure this years, I almost wasn't even able to pull it off without their early commitment. Pussycash stepped up right away as well. More are in the works, and those are some pimp ass players that deserve to have webmasters use their services.
