What sucks is that Slayyter has a whole new song with Big Freedia just out and this thing is going to overshadow the single, especially since their market is the gay community and the LGBT community is not happy about what Freedia said so I don't think we're going to give any attention to this song.
How is Big Freedia going to say Lil Nas X was trolling Boosie when Boosie has been harassing Nas for a whole year, saying he should kill himself and how being gay is a bad influence to kids. And don't get me started on Zaya Wade.
I think Freedia is so used to being treated like trash that she's willing to forgive homophobia if the bigot is kind to her.
Out there in HQ....quite different from what she usually do...maybe it's the track which is supposed to be released in November... anyways lemme know your views
I donβt know about you, but Big Freedia was a highlight for this Riot Fest for me. Anyone else head to that show and have a damn good time? Shout outs to the dancer in the green cape, YOU GAVE ME LIFE!
I got to see Big Freedia at Tulsa's PRIDE festival last Friday night. She was fun and her dancers were amazing! Honestly, I hadn't heard of her until my friend invited me to this show. It was so much fun I wrote an article about it. Photos included. :)
Bounce music is new to me. Have you heard of it? Do you enjoy it? Do you know who Big Freedia is?

A veteran of the New Orleans music scene who took the city's bounce music movement national around 2010, the flamboyant diva known as Big Freedia became the mainstream face of bounce, delivering high-energy, body-positive, and LGBTQ-empowering anthems such as "Booty-Whop" and "Explode" from the 2014 breakthrough Just Be Free and "Rent" from 2018's 3rd Ward Bounce. In addition to her music, the bounce ambassador also starred in her own reality shows, Big Freedia: Queen of Bounce and Big Freedia Bounces Back.
Born Freddie Ross in 1978, Freedia grew up a fan of Sylvester, Michael Jackson, and Patti LaBelle, joining the bounce movement in 1998 when she joined drag queen and bounce artist Katey Red's posse. Attracted by the music's furious hip-hop beats and house music vocals, Freedia released her own bounce single, "An Ha, Oh Yeah," in 1999, followed by the Queen Diva album in 2003. When Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans in 2005, Freedia relocated to Texas and helped spread the bounce sound in the Lone Star State. A guest appearance on Galactic's 2010 album Ya-Ka-May coincided with the singles collection Big Freedia Hitz, Vol. 1, while the latter was picked up for national distribution in 2011 by the Scion A/V label. Also in 2011, Freedia collaborated with Spank Rock on the track "Nasty," while the year 2012 was marked by appearances on the HBO series Treme along with the talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live. In 2013, she toured the U.S. as the Postal Service's opening act, while 2014 saw the release of her official debut full-length, Just Be Free.
In 2016, Freedia's iconic voice was featured in BeyoncΓ©'s "Formation" video and a subsequent world tour. She also released the aptly titled "Drop" as a single and video; the collaboration with Diplo and DJ Snake -- which appeared on the Entourage movie soundtrack -- arrived that summer. Before the new year, Freedia hopped on the holiday album sleigh and released A Very Big Freedia Christmazz, which featured gems like "Rudy, the Big Booty Reindeer" and "Santa Is a Gay Man."
In 2017, Freedia jumped onto "Dive" with rapper Mannie Fresh, who appeared on the Queen of Bounce show. "Make It Jingle" and "Best Beeleevah" followed in 2018. That April, another major co-sign -- this time from rapper Drake -- placed Freedia at the start of his chart-

Hi! I'm looking for $29 each or $58 for both.
Was supposed to go, but AXS and Bowery Presents never notified me that Too Many Zooz was no longer headlining. At this point, I can't even get a refund.
I can transfer the tickets through AXS. Please PM if interested, thanks.
I hear this community is supportive of obscure mosh pits.
Greetings from New Orleans, friends. I realize that one of the more out of place artists on the RF lineup is The Queen Diva. While she might be unfamiliar to most, Freedia has been performing all over New Orleans for well over a decade, and is a staple of live music here. But to me, Big Freedia playing Riot Fest is a chance to do something, I may never have the chance to do here at home.
Someone with the quick feet can definitely two step to bounce music, and I think that this is that chance. At least for me. Join if you want. I donβt really care if Iβm alone for this, itβs just one of those things that only feels appropriate at Riot Fest. Iβm just happy to throw down.
If youβre into dancing: Gin In My System, Lift Dat Leg Up, Where My Queens At, YβALL GET BACK NOW(!!!!), Excuse, and Explode are ideal songs to get down to.
See yβall out there. Express yourselves.
