If ya'll ain't heard GOGO please listen to the mix below and remember GOGO is A LIVE MUSIC EXPERIENCE nothing on tape will ever sound as LIVE as going to actual DC GOGO
I used to run to the ICEBOX in the mid to LATE 90s
Now if this 4 min clip of the Redskins band doing GOGO doesn't move you then don't even bother clicking the mix beneath it.

gogo is a cousin of Funk.

Hail!!
As a NYer one of the first things i rocked with in this city was GoGo, how can you not rock wit live music and thick azz shorties just grindin to it 
these YT videos bringing back memories....
going over to the amish flea market in Charles county for PA Palace tapes....
calling out tapes by their recording date "you heard that 7-15-96 wink solo?!?!"
the music randomly stopping because of a fight....I'm pretty sure I heard Slim say "oh, them nikkas getting it in over there" before chris brown
random feedback in the recording....

If you not from D.C. I assume people don't know about go-go. They don't get it .

What do you wanna know?
I thought a gogo was a dancer and i know what gogo gadget means.
shyt is weird as hell. Its like some type of east coast Zydeco (down south brehs know) type music. Its like the beats be all over the place and sound sloppy. Don't seem like its any rhythm to it but dc folks love it.
It sound like somebody in the studio just hitting every instrument moe. Yawl bammas trippin.
I tried to like this shyt. Couldn't. And I'm from Chicago where we're exposed to a confluence of musical sounds; gospel, blues, jazz, house - music brought up from Memphis, the Mississippi Delta, and New Orleans from the Great Migration. Doesn't work for me. Too sloppy.
This is quite possibly the best thing someone posted on here on GoGo music. The first vid really breaks down the groove and a great segway to the second video. I can now better see why it's popular among DC natives. Rep.
