OK, before I post the winner, here's some of my favorite stories from the D$ memory bank. Here's my top 10, not in any particular order, but close to it.
1) 2003 - Pimpin' with VH-1. They had their cameras filming the pre-party and the walk to the venue. Jenna on one arm and Brianna Banks on the other with a wall of Penthouse Pets behind me and an crew of about 200 people following me. I was hosting the show, VH-1 mic in my hand. Even if it never airs, it was one of the best memories for me.
2) 2001 - Not knowing whether Snoop was going to show up or not was pretty nerve racking. He came to the venue right before he was supposed to go on stage to perform, so I was nervous as hell thinking maybe he wasn't gonna show up. Even though we paid him a fortune and had contracts, still makes a guy nervous. Then, Jenna comes on stage with KB and gave me the good news that they were just backstage hanging with Snoop. That moment was one of the greatest memories. I huge relief!
3) 2000 - Walking Mike Tyson into the VIP, he was still a great fighter and he had a big fight in Europe a week after.
4) 2002 - Slick Rick and Doug E Fresh together for 15 minutes on stage.
5) 1999 - The after parties after the very first Players Ball. Trey Parker kicked it all night with us, we had 2 after party suites.
6) 2001 - Snoop Dogg loving his Big Woody Award and accepting it on stage during his performance with Don Magic Juan presenting it. I had an opportunity to thank him on stage as I shared a smoke break with him.
7) 2004 - This years Players Ball sponsors and hype. This has been the greatest year for the group of sponsors raised and the hype behind the Ball.
8) 2003 Florida - After the rain came down we switched to go inside to a small ballroom. The weather cleared up and we put 2 monster speakers on the balcony and had Too Short perform with DJ Evan infront of only 50 people sitting outside at tables, very loungy. Too Short did his classics to some DJ Premiere cuts. Very cool to see the party went on, even though most people counted us out, the show must go on!
9) 1999 Miami - Ice-T called me to the stage to issue the Big Woody's out. KB fucked up and was supposed to hand him a list of the winners, so when he had no list in his hand, I was called up to the stage to help present them. It was my first time on stage as an MC and Ice-T and I made a great team. Always a thrill to MC with one of raps greatest MC's of all time.
10) 1999 Miami - DJ Sasha flew from the UK just for our party. He asked to speak with me in the owners office before the party, he wanted to spin for free. I asked him if he was any good. Little did I know he was considered the worlds #1 DJ at that time.
