[Charlie Kaplan]

whats the song they start doing at around @21:00

[pitchforktv]

It's called 'Big Freddie Kay Ready (feat. Katey Red)' off of Big Freedia Hitz Vol. 1

[K1dCharlemagne]

They should just use this for the New Orleans tourism campaign.

[Chewbaccanator]

Very interesting approach to a mostly unknown scene, at least for me.

I hope to see more of this in the future.

[corey benson]

Ok

[tsarita]

It's kind of scary that he is talking so openly about carrying a gun etc. and that guy he shot at. I hope no one tries to rob him again. I don't want anything bad to happen to Big Freedia! :(

[Dwain Green]

I LOVE U FREEDIA!!! THANK U & KATEY & NOBBY FOR WHAT Y'ALL DOING FOR THE BOUNCE GAME!!

[Perrin530]

she is beautiful and powerful and lovely.

[asana1973]

Always nice to see brown and beige/ queer folks in control of their own fucking economics. Hope you go straight to the top with it. Not straight but you know what I mean.

[ssbahiy626]

[dwebb1027]

I will be praying for your family from one new orleans native to another! God bless u all!!

[ShePirateForLife]

Big Freedia the Queen Diva Ya Best Beliva brings all ages and races together to twerk that jelly. Because we all got that need to bounce it!!

[JaDedby88]

Oh my b..no disrespect.

[dashwinterson]

dude his manager is an idiot.....big freedia has the potential to blow bounce music out worldwide if they get behind the new orleans sound, she should be less concerned with how it helps big freedia and more concerned with how it effects bounce music as a genre because those two objects as brands are intrinsically tied, why would you not help other bounce artists with your fame?
