Those were great!

My favorites:

2001 Snoop Dogg & Digital Underground
2007 Ice Cube
2000 New Orleans - Slick Rick, Doug E Fresh, Kid Capri, Too Short
1999 South Beach - Ice-T, Digital Underground, DJ Sasha, Eek-A-Mouse
2003 Xzibit & Digital Underground

After that the others that were toward the top of my list were Cypress Hill, Flavor Flav and Digital Underground with a live band, 1999 Long Beach Dub in Vegas (Sublime members)

I can go on and on, but I'll stop there. They were all great in my opinion, even the ones that probably weren't that good. LOL

That is perfect :thumbsup

D,

We've been friends for a dozen years now, so - I just want to say from the heart - thanks for being you AND all you've done and continue to do ... as a party planner/promoter/marketer, etc ... and more importantly, my brotha from anotha mutha!!!

From biz to friendship, vacations, parties, family, kids and so much more ... we've been through a lot, D - good times and bad ... but MOSTLY GREAT!

I look forward to watching you make this transition and support you in any way I can ... and you know this!

Being a part of the Player's Ball over the past 10 years + has been fun to say the least :winkwink: So, here's a little retrospective dating back to 1999 (I will find more pics and post them later as well)


hahaha

Here's a lil old school Slessy Sless



I've only missed one Player's Ball in 10 years ... but Snoop @ C2K was the most classic of all of D's parties. That moment in time in this biz stands out as one of my fondest memories!

Great pics J$tyle$!

And it was also a reminder that I forgot to thank Fubar for all of those years of working JFK's ass off at our events!

Thanks Fubar!

This puts it into perspective, Players Ball has been around since IA2000 was the trade show, before it was bought by AVN and became Internext.

Damn I feel old.

Good thing I still look good. :pimp

Jew Tang Clan ain't nothing to fuck with...


Thanks for all the memories G... hopefully the train keeps rolling, but if it has to stop what a fucking ride it's been.

It was good meeting you in Vegas two years back D$!

Unfortunately I only got to attend one players ball. Definitely always seemed like THE party to attend when I use to lurk here. Very cool of you to dedicate yourself to the industry shows the way you did for all of those years.

Looking at all of the pictures always makes me kick myself in the ass for not going to shows earlier. Definitely looks like they were a blast.

Maybe I will see you at Affiliate Ball if the venue decides to honor my players card.

:thumbsup

You and your brother are head and shoulders above the rest of the crown D.
Class acts all the way.

Thanks for many years of great parties, and the first deal I ever made with CE Cash that made me over a million bucks at your party!!!


Your parties were always the place to get some BIG business done!

Who is the goofy looking dude on the right?

50....... :)

Been to a couple of Player's Balls. All were good and George Clinton rocked the house.

I look forward to seeing everybody at the Affiliate Ball. Good times with new friends for sure.

I saw some Dutch mainstream people go to the affilate summit so i mentioned the Affiliate Ball.
Maybe there will be more Dutch people :)

I visited only the last two Players Balls so i missed the bigger happenings.
But this might be a new change to visit a big Ball.

Great parties, both!

Found one of you, darlin' :winkwink:


... and some more ...

Count Webmaster Central in D!

Down since day 1!

Looking forward to seeing you Andy. :thumbsup

oh yea 1999 long beach dub, that was awesome. i had no idea who they were at the time but loved it.

my favorite was cyprus hill in 2004? i think. that and george clinton. but of course everytime DU was there it was always a blast.

MORE ...

Lotsa good pics JStyles.
Looks like you were with good friends, am drinking jack and stoned


:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

LMAO - love the pic where you see 3 seriously out dated cell phones taking pictures.
My how things have changed but as one door closes another opens.
Look forward to seeing you all in Vegas. :)

D, thank you for so many memories. Players Ball was always a blast for me. It`s kind of sad how the industry developed during the last couple of years, but we are not dead. I believe that there is a time for this industry in the future.

For you it is reasonable step to move forward and create new business relationships. There is nothing wrong with it.

But a party in Vegas without strippers and pimp suits is not for me. Keep the PlayersBall alive!

Looking forward to seeing you in Vegas!

Very good move. Its seem that the one thing adult still had over mainstream was the parties. I saw the mainstream dudes start throwing the playboy mansion parties. Why not the ball. It was the always the best party back in the day. Time to show those mainstreamers how you do it

Goood luck man.

George Clinton was my fave as well. :thumbsup
