Third Eye Views

Not too many people know this about me, but I’m a huge, huge fan of Southern rap music…ALL southern rap music.  Especially, that New Orleans Bounce music and those New Orleans rump shakers.  For those who don’t know, I’m from the south, but I now live in Brooklyn and living in Brooklyn means that  southern rap music, especially underground southern rap music, gets little if any, local radio airplay!  I truly miss hearing that ass shaking music and believe me, Pandora can be of little help.  So when I found out via Facebook that the New Orleans bounce artist, Big Freedia (The Queen Diva) will be in NYC tomorrow to set a world record bounce/twerk attempt, I said to myself, “Awww shit now, you have to be a part of this!”  So tomorrow at 12:00 noon on 34^th Street Herald Square, I will be there bouncin’ to that New ‘Awlins sound I grew up on and know oh so well.    I will be there to pay homage to my Southern roots, I will be there for all of the bounce artists who hoped for this mainstream moment, but are no longer here with us (R.I.P) and I will be there to support Big Freedia.  But most of all, I will be there to shake my ass!
