although call and response is almost a part of all afram music even early NYC hiphop, which was more like



the style you get in go-go is the style lil jon/crunk and uncle luke/miami bass picked up on.








Dj Kool also picked up on it as he talks about here





and you can hear it also in fatman scoop

@IllmaticDelta You could flip this into a series....St. Louis's musical contributions starting with ragtime would be a good read :wow:

And make them all connect with each other at some point :obama: I’d also love to see musical contributions threads of Memphis, Detroit, Philly, Miami, and the Bay Area too.

@IllmaticDelta you could even create one for the DMV; focusing not only on GoGo and its underrated contributions to The Culture, but also our contributions to Hardcore Punk, Hip Hop, Quiet Storm, R&B, Blues, Choral music, Emo, Moombahton, Soul, Funk, and Jazz.

He really just needs to set up a kickstarter on The Coli for him to write a book...I'd hate for The Coli to go under and all of this to be lost in the ether :wow:
