Dc GoGo music, a very influential strand of Funk and the deliverer of "Bounce" to modern music

Junk Yard in the movie Krush Groove

Actually, this is from the Run-DMC movie, "Tougher Than Leather."

Back when rap and go-go were just cousins separated by 200 miles of I-95,
the Junkyard Band released the classic "Sardines" on Def Jam. They were on the
label with LL, PE and the Beastie Boys.

BYB rips so hard. Glad to have been introduced to them by my guys from DC/MD. Been a fan since college 15 years ago

 

[Sankofa Alwayz]

The beat and lyrics to China Bounce still got me

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

Some old crews and a few mentioned hoods that stayed showing up at the GoGos back in 2006 to 2010. Just a trip down memory lane for my DMV peeps

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

And make them all connect with each other at some point 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
