It's Liz's birthday on Friday which coincides perfectly with the Big Freedia show at Holocene. Big Freedia is the queen of New Orleans Bounce. I don't know. I have never really kept up on all the different regional hip-hop stuff (not exactly a purveyor of hip-hop culture) and find it embarrassing to make people explain hyphy to me and whatnot. It's not like I'm at expert on Bounce or anything, I just happened to be perusing the Holocene website and thought it sounded fun. The music is fast and dirty with an emphasis on shaking your lower region as quickly as possible. There are various videos of live shows that I could post in illustration but I'm pretty sure this one is my favorite.You really have to love video that involves a boombox.

Man I need to learn how to bounce my ass in a circle like these people. Booty boot camp crash course here I come
I can't wait to see that. There are going to be so many awkward white people dancing at this thing.
For the love of God... I'm going to have to start stretching to do this dance like now.
I refuse to dance to anything but bounce and new jack swing these days. I love Big Freedia! "Gin In My System" is such a jam. I just missed her play when I was in New Orleans recently so I'm super excited for this show.
See, now I'm going to have to ask what new jack swing is. So embarrassing. See you there!
i put my comment on the wrong post! sorry!
