Curious about the fabulous HOMO hat Nicky Da B wore in our video for Go Loko? Here’s a little bit about the history/meaning.
The Internet thrives on really, really smart stuff, or really, really dumb stuff. The middle not so much.
“This video invites you to drown in a sea of butts — male and female — while enjoying the balls-out vocal stylings of a rapper who, unlike Lady Gaga, isn’t going to “follow you until you love me,” but instead “until you fuck me.” This lyrical update to “Paparazzi” is reflective of Nicky Da B’s whole style in “Go Loko” — he’s elevating the idea of a dance party track to a fabulously extreme (and sexxxy) level.” (via Rusty Lazer)
“There are a number of reasons to post this new video for “Go Loko” from New Orleans bounce artist Nicky Da B — most recently seen around these parts collaborating with Diplo — but I think the number one reason is because it probably contains more ass per second than any music video in modern history.” [emphasis mine]
Bounce hiphop is like Hardcore punk. It’s not meant to be “heard,” it’s meant to be FELT. In a sweaty crowd. Like a voodoo ritual.
Gentrification begins when you’re the squarest resident of your new neighborhood. It ends when you’re the weirdest.
