Big Freedia's Hookah Bounce

Admission: $5.00
Every Thursday Big Freedia and DJ Rusty Lazer along with other local bounce artists hit the stage at The Hookah. If you're wondering what is bounce, here is what Wikipedia has to say about Bounce Music: Bounce music is an energetic style of "New Orleans hip hop" music which is said to have originated as early as the late 1980s, but is typically believed to have begun with the 1991 single "Where Dey At by MC T.Tucker. A highly influential cover of "Where Dey At" was also released by "DJ Jimi in 1992.
Bounce is characterized by "Call and response" style party and Mardi Gras Indian chants and dance call-outs. These chants and call-outs are typically sung over the Triggerman beat, which is sampled from the song "Drag Rap" by the Showboys, or Brown beat, which is sampled from Derek B's "Rock The Beat". The sound of bounce has primarily been shaped by the recycling and imitation of the "Drag Rap" sample: its opening chromatic tics, the intermittent shouting of the word "break", the use of whistling as an instrumental element (as occurs in the bridge), the "drag rap" vocals and its brief and repetitive melody and quick beat (which were produced with use of Synthesizers and drum machines and are easily sampled or reproduced using like-sounding elements).
The genre maintains widespread popularity in New Orleans, LA and the southern United States and has a more limited following outside of the Deep South. Throughout this decade, the "Take Fo'" record label has dominated the genre with artists such as "DJ Jubilee and "Willie Puckett." Katey Red, "Big Freedia" and "Sissy Nobby have also made significant contributions.
