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

Good post.

People ignore Go-Go’s contribution to the Punk/Hardcore scene during the 80’s


Also I’m really interested in cats like Tony Kill who’s putting his own spin on it:

Punk music started in D.C too

Not saying I don’t like nor support DMV Hip Hop but it would be nice if we could keep the spirit of GoGo music and culture alive at the same time and try to experiment with adding GoGo into Rap again; would be interesting hear elements of GoGo on a Trap beat like you do with NO Bounce music. @IllmaticDelta What you think?

Also, Ion like how some of these new young nikkas out here are slandering GoGo and going unchecked Bunch of hypebeast bamma ass nikkas.

It's possible. The bounce essence is already the father of the traps "turn up" feel but I think you can make a hybrid musically speaking.

Just came in here to say that I'd love to hear more GoGo influence in today's urban music.

Bruno Mars about to hit the GOGO wave you heard it here first folks. He’s bringing it world wide.

Overnight Scenario was the very first GoGo joint that I was consciously aware of as a really young moe back then. I’m talking about being on the cheese bus on my way to and from William Beanes Elementary in grimy ass Suitland not too far from the now-gone Homer Ave projects crankin to Overnight Scenario with kids from kindergarten to 4th grade in acapalla beating on the seats and windows and shyt We were serious asf lol.










We need to bring that feeling back into GoGo It’s crazy how everybody and their mama tryna be a rapper nowadays out here. Not saying I don’t like nor support DMV Hip Hop but it would be nice if we could keep the spirit of GoGo music and culture alive at the same time and try to experiment with adding GoGo into Rap again; would be interesting hear elements of GoGo on a Trap beat like you do with NO Bounce music. @IllmaticDelta What you think?

Homer Ave was a shythole

It was smh. I’ve heard stories from folks who used to live there, one of them was that nikkas would sic their pitbulls on they babymoms in order to get outta paying child support

I’m not sure about that but, we definitely made a huge dent in the hardcore scene that cements us with the legends. shyt, even now with Damage City fest coming up .

Yessur. Especially now knowing that one of the biggest Rap singles out right now has a touch of Bounce music in it (God’s Plan by Drake).

Believe it or not, Emo music also got its origins in DC too; it’s practically the offspring of the local Punk scene.

that gogo influence

D.C is one of the most underappreciated regions when it comes to music. So many regions have been influenced by the city's culture but we still haven't received proper recognition.

Pretty Girls by Wale was a sample

And it was originally some hardcore lyrics not some "just for the ladies" shyt

You can tell by the shoulder rolls, torso twists, serpentine arm flow, and hypnotic footwork of Beat Ya Feet that GoGo music places heavy emphasis on a funky bounce.
