Player's ball

From Rap Dictionary

noun

player's ball

A party for players. When the player's ball is happenin', all day every day -- OutKast (Player's Ball [1993]).

The term also refers to the Player's Ball, Chicago's annual gathering of pimps. The party has been a November tradition since 1974, when pimps from across the country first gathered to celebrate the birthday of pimp Don Juan (now known as Bishop Don Magic Juan) [1]. The Pimp of the Year is announced at the Ball. The Player's Ball was depicted in the 1999 Hughes Brother's documentary, American Pimp. [2]. However, The Masters Players Ball is considered the superbowl of all players balls.

In imitation of Don Juan's notorious party, other pimp-sponsored Player's Balls take place across the country, most notably in Miami and Atlanta.

A well-known non-pimp Player's Ball started some years ago in Las Vegas, as a private party for businesses attending the Adult Internet Expo. The event is organized by D-Money. Past events have featured performers including Snoop Dogg, Digital Underground, Ice-T, LL Cool J and porn star Ron Jeremy as the MC. [3]
