KBizzle, you might be the best hype man next to Flavor Flav!

It funny for me to see KB admit I was right for getting multiple artists and investing the sponsors money back into the event to achieve the best events I can possibly pull off.

I used to get offended when people assumed I made money from it, they viewed it as a big event that certainly would make a big profit. But that was never the case. I felt that I gave myself a "free" sponsorship for my efforts and used others money to pull it off.

I also believe one day I'll make my money with licensing the content through multiple channels of distribution. One day.

Seriously, KB is very important in the process because I like to bounce ideas for artists off him and my other close friends in the biz. And every year KB says, "put that money in your pocket, its over kill, you have a dope line up already." And every year I show him up when I go that extra mile in getting ANOTHER big name added to the line up. I don't think I've ever thrown a Players Ball in Vegas with less then 3 major artists performing and other surprise celebrity guests. I've even had 4 major concerts in a Players Ball before, like in 2002, old school night.

So in my own Players Ball tradition I've created for over the last 6 years, 2 Balls per year, I will go over board with the talent again so our industry can do business with the cream of the crop in an environment I feel is suitable for big business dealings, a slamming event!

And a very heart felt thank you to Ron Levi for his huge contributions over the years, no one has contributed more money towards our Players Ball talent roster then him.

Preach!

Thanks KB for an awesome post.
