I guess now is a good time to tell everyone that Details Magazine is doing a piece on the Blatt Bros and our long running Players Ball as well.

There will be a photo shoot that night for the Magazine so y'all better look pretty!!!


2009 is about to start this year off with a BANG!!!

We are going to get DUMB, STupid, and Retarded.

Why?

It's all bout the HYPHY MOVEMENT!!!

I'll need a bunch of hot ladies to assist us in this pic. They want a bunch of hot chicks with us. So if any of you hotties (females only) would like to get in Details Magazine with the Players President, let me know.

Here's a quick page I set up with videos from Youtube on E-40.

Get yourself hyped up and ready, go play a video or 2.

If you don't know from E-40, he has lots of huge hits that you will recognize. Many are still in rotation on the radio. He just released a new album too.

Hyphy (pronounced /ˈhaɪfiː/ HYE-fee) is a slang word created by Bay Area Rapper Keak Da Sneak which is used in the San Francisco Bay Area that literally means "rambunctious". Hip-hop artist E-40, with his song titled "Tell Me When to Go ", along with many other Bay Area music productions, put the Bay Area culture on the national map, and this culture began to be known as the Hyphy movement. However, it has become very commercialized and distorted to the point where more and more Bay Area artists and residents no longer proclaim themselves as part of "the hyphy movement", while others, notably the 80's and 90's generation, still wholeheartedly embrace it.[citation needed]

The movement started from the '90s rappers but again re-emerged in the early 2000s as a response from Bay Area rappers against commercial hip hop for ignoring the Bay's influence on the hip hop industry.[1][2] Although the "hyphy movement" has just recently seen light in mainstream America, it has been a long standing and evolving culture in the Bay Area.[3] Bay Area rapper Keak Da Sneak was the first to use the term on an album.

Hyphy music can be associated with the Bay Area as crunk music is to the South; however, the musical aspect of the Hyphy movement has very few similarities to crunk music as it is dictated by more up-tempo beats.[4] An individual is said to "get hyphy" when they act or dance in an overstated, fast paced, and ridiculous manner.[5] Those who consider themselves part of the Hyphy movement would describe this behavior as "getting stupid" or "going dumb."[6][7] In contrast to much of popular American culture where these phrases would be considered negative or even insulting, Hyphy is distinguished by taking this kind of behavior as a form of pride

GET YOUR VANS OUT PLAYAS!

Anything's possible :thumbsup

thanks so much for moving it to the hotel D *mwuah* no standing outside wearing almost nothing and freezing my ass off waiting to get on a shuttle. this party is gonna be off the hook :thumbsup

sounds good man...how do we get in...ill just roll up with ramos and crew :)

I need behind the scenes videos for my documentary I've been working on.

If anyone is interested in helping me grab some footage during the event, please coordinate it with me.

I really want to get the whole performance of E-40 as well, so someone bless a brotha and the VIP Players Card G_ds will smile upon you.

Who's RAMOS?

:pimp

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

See you all there..I'll be in and out..

sucks they had to change from the strip club venue.

I uhhh lost my card, can i get another :winkwink: hahaha

either way, will be a sweet party fo sho

well not really, I dont like strip clubs. No matter how many times I had made prior arrangements to shoot an event in one of them, it always gets fucked up. One of the girls complains then all arrangements go out the window:2 cents:

Come on Uno...u serious?

I am always floored every tradeshow when I see the first thing webmasters want to do is go to a strip club in Vegas.

I find it funny that we are all working in an industry that features naked women all day on the web, and then the first thing many need to see are other naked women at a tradeshow!

Maybe I am jaded for being in this biz as long as I have been, maybe it's because I worked in Strip clubs for many years?

Either way, it is going to be better in the venue we have it in and there will be whores there dancing away-

I can't say anything more than that at this time- but u will all be very happy
:-))

lol

Whores YOU Say ??? :Graucho

yep
Naked women on person versus on a screen all day are 2 entirely different things. I think you can see that in the reaction of most webmasters at the private parties with naked girls with the big sweaty crowds around them.

I did too, I still love strip clubs. Pussy in person is always better than pussy on the screen unless its shot by Dean or a few other people.

I wish I could be there regardless. I still have at least 1 of my 2 players cards from the initial print run.

I don't mind a venue change, its just that the show floor is also @ Rain. It would be nice to get some variety to the whole event. But I totally understand how changes of venues can come up and its better than cancelling an event. See you guys there ;)
WG

Can you stumble to my room first please? :pimp

You know that CM will do her part lol

U know it!!!

can 't wait. always a class act!

But of course.....:1orglaugh

fn sweet. cya there

My maid lost my players card (or maybe she stole it and will show up to party :upsidedow ) but that's ok, I don't mind slummin' with all you lower-class folks for the night :winkwink:

Now to figure out what to wear............hmmmmmmmm

Cool. I gotta dig up my Players Card now :)

I'm glad it's going to be at the Palms, see you guys there :pimp

Looking forward to seeing your outfit for this one. PIMP PIMP!

this party will be the best Ball since Ice Cube

Believe that.

And some celebs will be in the house.

hes a twink i know with soft hands

does he eat free oranges?

Cypress Hill was still the best show for me, by far :2 cents:

FUCK! I hate agreeing with you - but this time I have no choice. Very well said.

I agree. Strip clubs are pretty much my least favorite thing to do. I'd much rather gamble my money away. At least I stand a chance at the tables.

He's the +1 in AZSarah +1.
WG

he only eats free things man

its his style..lool

azsarah isnt even asian...wtf

lol

omg ...this means there will be SIX events going on on Monday night!

HOLY MOLY!!!!!!! :)

We all gotta pace ourselves.

But I'm pretty sure the Players Ball will wreck everyone the first night of the show...

Seen it all before.

Agreed. I love strip clubs, but not during a show.

But one of my fondest memories was at a strip club during a tradeshow with YOU! lol

I'll never forget us partying at The Gold Club in New Orleans so many years ago. I still remember you convincing those strippers that we were all big shots in the porn biz. And that one super-pimp line: "Your next move could be your best move" :pimp:pimp:pimp
Good times...
