Jim holio Unplugged is a good choice

Calvin Klein kinda? North Carolina?

and of course Marc from CJ's favorite: Mangina

My favorite song by them: Why's Everybody Always Picking on Me?

i like the cover they did of kids in america
when i was a hardcore aggro rollerblader i used to play the fuck out of bloodhound gang

not old or new but middle school 6th grade like jr high

I am up for the Bloodhound gang

Brad, I'll see what I can do, fax me your rider and backline requirements.

Zebra, I'll look into them. I'm hoping to secure 2 more big artists, more on a hip vibe. One we're looking at is the best drum and bass/dub show you'll ever see, Madd Professor.

Obie Trice is in the running big time right now, we have a price on him, ball's in his court. He's in the running and very realistic of happening. Of course with Obie, he could come with other artists in that camp. You never know who could show up.

The direction I'm looking into is either a live band to open up, got some artists in the works, or hip performer like Obie or Ice Cube as MC, maybe Andre and Big Boi as MC's. DJ Red Alert and others like him. I have about 30 options on the table we're looking into everyone of them. It's a tough thing to book with a thin budget.

YTCracker will perform, for sure. He's our current battle MC champ. We might let a few others take the mic early on, if they're good.

JMM, it's because of you, I will word my sentences with more thought in the future. Ghetto jew translation, "don't be gettin' it twisted".

What about "Nerd"......they are hiphop hard core rap with a wicked groove:thumbsup

Slayer!

mangina.

I'll ask my agent about them.

We're still open to suggestions, we hope to move fast and lock things in within the week.

Fuck yeah...

50

:edit:

51 hip hop heads goin' round the outside

ahuh

:winkwink:

NERD rox

50 pimps up

get kool keith i guarantee itll be the best show you
could EVER get for a porn convention.

ill pay for him if hes cheap..:)

D-money...

Eric B and Rakim would be a banging act to have there......

Follow the leader........

:)

:glugglug

Rakim is one of the others we're looking into. It's also very possible.

You've got good taste.

How was Jin the emcee in Florida??

I missed it :(
You should get him this year :thumbsup

I would like to request Gordon Lightfoot, thank you :)

Nice! That would be way cool! :thumbsup

Nothin sounds worse than live rap..

even rappers know that..

Why you think they cant sell out shows?

CAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE SHIT!!!

Id much rather have ytcracker as the dj...

Pay him to remix some songs..throw in some industry shit.. and i think you have a better solution than pouring money into naughty by nature..

remember who your target audience is!!

(link hotten)

I think there is about 3 black webmasters I know.. and they get hassled more at the door than the rest of us!!

Also where is the venue this year?

Id be interested in sponsoring something if you can send me details.

naughty by nature would be cool. 50 cent wont be worth the $, he isnt even that good of a performer. obie trice should be pretty cheap for you.... i'm sure hes more expensive since his album but you should be able to get him pretty cheap. he puts on a good show too.

and what a Ball it will be, can't wait for it who ever
is the artist :winkwink:

PussyCash will be the Official Big Woody Awards sponsor.

We've never been bought out before, can't wait to see who they pick as the winners.

For those wanting a Big Woody Award for Pimp Of The Year, Player Of The Year, etc, better send some traffic to their program quick. They now have power of the penis.

Heck maybe they will find my Big Woody from a few years ago : )

D$ looking foward to seeing you in Vegas and at the Players Ball !

Will be fun this year pimpelimp (aka D$)! :thumbsup

CYA there... I will buy the drinks for KB and Brad - and free lapdances for Jen!

:winkwink:

Oystein,

You party harder then almost anyone I know..

I tip my zipper to you...

I remember the epoch days..you are da man!

You rank up there with AGA, Slavik, and a few others I see at about 7 am..haha

N.E.R.D would be out of control. The crowd would love them, and they have universal appeal.

The Roots would be another group with a universal appeal, and they can really get people into their sets...Fans or first timers.

Obie would also be a nice fit for the event.

Is WSC available for any touring? That would be a real nice show as well.

THE ROOTS are sick live!!!

I can't tell you the name of ANY of their songs, but I've seen them live 3 times, and THEY ROCK A PARTY!!!!

No doubt!

I guess it would be hard to make anything fly but hip hop.. it would be too expensive to get a good hard rock or alternative band I guess.

And there are lots of cheap has been rappers out there :-)

Yeah! Get him together with, oh, Christopher Cross and maybe B.J. Thomas, and it be smokin'!! :Graucho

Whatcha say, D-Dough? :)

Definitly a great act. I think even Shemp could bounce to some good ol' Cody Chestnutt and ?uestlove!

Are you posting just to get your sig see or paying attention to the thread? :winkwink:

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!

:2 cents:

Naughty by Nature will give an incredible show! They are actually waaaay more entertaining than 50 Cent.

Ice Cube is another that has a show that's just out of control. When a artist has over 20 hits like he does the show is always pretty good. Public Enemy is another one. I'm not sure if Flav is out of jail though.

NERD might do it for less than anyone else. They don't know to charge tons of money for shows like this yet so you guys might want to call Startrak and ask.

im gonna lay it down proper i promise


thanks for all your support

D,

I just want to say you're doing a good thing for the industry. I was in the online casino biz for 4 years, lived in the Caribbean for 2. So much money around and being spent. Then after a while it goes dry and you find out who's really down with the underground.I've been in this biz for 6 months and I have noticed the tailspin. We need to all stick together and reap the rewards of this great industry. Just like me in the online casino biz we thought we would last forever. Great times I had but the I am so happy i didn't keep(owned) anything. feds are going to all sites and portals and asking sales records dating back to 1997 on all online casinos tads hey had up on the site. Couple of my homies are fucked. They will be living in the caribbean now for life.

As for me I'm a nobody who turns 30 Jan 2nd. I can't make it there in Jan.(money) but I god damn guantee I'll be there on the one after that. Keep doing what your doing, That one person who can make things happen will find you. Late-G



bring No Limit to one of the balls. Silk, P, Magic, Soulia Slim,...

Master P was in Oakland back in the day, be cool to hear him do a show ith only west coast flavor. I'm listening to 99 ways to die(93' 1st version) Now thats some ballers music. Tru shit.

Was at the party last year,, i had a blast,, get some upbeat rappers that'll get the crowd goin


I want to find out about sponsorship can you ICQ me?

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.
