Expression of a female sexual revolt on the street, the funk artist acts against Anitta by crossing the limits of sexualization and putting the legitimacy of the genre in check
It’s kicking what’s left of the boundaries of erotic verbalization and pornographic funk representation. Radicalizing the road opened by other despoetic mouths, such as those of Deize Tigrona AND MC Carol, MC Popcorn, a 24-year-old girl who left Tubarão, in Santa Catarina, and arrived in São Paulo, in 2019, to sleep in houses, bars and tobacco shops before starting to earn R$ 70,000 for a 15-minute dance, according to As reported herself, Pipokinha puts the legitimacy of funk under scrutiny. After all, the girl who puts dancers to simulate violent sex and in all positions on stage, who makes videos as if she were a child taken to a motel, who defines herself as the “queen of putar ..” at shows and who has the clips of your success Put it on Pipokinha the surpassing 27.5 million views on YouTube can no longer be ignored.
Next to Pipokinha, Annita sounds like a Carmelite – marking the biggest break within funk itself. The lyrics that cause explosions at his shows, more than those of any other hardcore MC, are invitations to brutal sex, with orders of penetration so ruthless that they even reverse the logic of submission for rappers. Those who command, appoint and control are the receivers, not the suppliers. Whoever provides, among other things, always seems to be one step away from embarrassment. At the same time that he catalyzes an uncontrollable female sexual rampage, making girls strip naked, take the stage and perform, or pretend to perform, oral sex on the singer herself, Pipokinha’s exit is also a leap into the abyss.
If he calibrated his discourse, playing along the lines of “acceptable eroticism”, as Anitta, Ludmilla and even Luisa Sonza do, Pipokinha could be legitimized by observers of the country’s peripheral cultures, such as the sociologist Hermano Vianna and the singer Caetano Veloso. And, with the fan base she already has, she’d definitely get cast at festivals like Rock in Rio and Lollapalooza, collaborate with gringo rappers, and even hit a, why not, Grammy. But her verbal and physical everything is fine, which is illegal when it comes to infantilization and non-consensual sex, and the fact that her only language is the narrative recording of pornographic films should curb her career expansion. .
It’s all a challenge when trying to figure out Pipokinha – Helena is the real name of this adopted daughter of a family of Mormon parents who made her pray to God several times a day. Your belief seems to hold. During one performance, she got down on her knees and started crying when she heard her fans shout the nursery rhyme: “Pipokinha, queen of the bitch…”. As she stood up, she took the microphone and said, “First of all I want to thank God. She gave me everything. This is my job, I’m not a whore.” Her cry stirred the funk world with a certain degree of spite. MC Carol wrote on Twitter: “Heard about this girl shes been a month and she already crying??? Pohhh man you got the stuff chewed!!!! What are you complaining about baby?!”
Increasingly powerful, with his house purchased in São Paulo and managed by the Novo Império production company, Pipokinha needs professional guidance in order not to fall under the spell. After learning that a teacher had a fight with a fan of hers, disputing her artistic value, she made a video saying the following: “There is nothing to do at home, you have to be a teacher, poor thing. My dance that’s 70,000, 30 minutes on stage. He doesn’t even make 5,000 teaching…” There is a powerful context behind his verbal incapacity and high power of refusal. In a recent post she wrote: “I will never again live on the street, I will never again live for others. No one will ever kick me out of the house, send me away. I’ll never be on the street again, are you aware of that? are you aware of that?” Just as 90s rap catalyzed the uprising of suburban kids against decades of social exclusion, MC Pipokinha’s funk has something of a female sexual uprising in the streets against the male domination of history An unbalanced and angry outburst, but legitimate.
