Diplo: “No One’s Safe” (Featuring Sissy Nobby And Big Freedia)

Diplo has currently been working on a new little documentary series called “No One is Safe,” in which he explores the music styles and scenes he’s into. In the pilot of the series you can watch below you see him walking around in New Orleans to find out more about the history of Bounce music and the state it’s in today. He manages to meet Sissy Nobby and Big Freedia, the two trans rappers and Bounce artists I mentioned on CF in December, which demonstrate him how surprisingly peaceful gay and straight people can coexist on a party night in New Orleans (as long as some girls shake their asses). It’s a nice coincidence that I’ve found a new video by Sissy Nobby this morning, because now posting it kind of feels like completing a circle.

Sissy Nobby & Big Freedia: Bouncing BUTTs

alison-2

I proudly present Sissy Nobby and Big Freedia, the winners of the “10 Best Butts on the BUTT Blog” competition and two of the most famous rappers of the New Orleans “Sissy Bounce” community. If you haven’t heard of Nobby and Freedia yet – here are a few videos that depict what it means when shaking your ass becomes a political act. You can also check out N&F’s crazy song “Azz  Everywhere” on Big Freedia’s MySpace page. By the way: the third one of the videos has been filmed by Slava Mogutin at this year’s Butt Bang! party in New York in June. You can watch more of them on Mogution’s rather unknown Youtube channel.
