Why do people in D.C pretend go go is good?

i have developed an appreciation for local black music from every city including no bounce, memphis juke, miami bass, chicago house, detroit techno, baltimore club, etc. dc's gogo is the only local black music that i can't understand. tried very hard to like it. even had posters in other threads post their best tracks, still it sounds wack to me. it sounds like a bunch of first year howard band students just playing around after practice. always said of chicago nikkas went to a live gogo set, they would be standing around like wtf is this shyt. the musicianship doesn't sound serious. but even with all that, should still be preserved as a legacy of black music.

btw, I grew up on house in chicago.

Yea they had a tv show that played music videos every Saturday. Idk if the whole station moved but I remember one of the main DJs Frank Ski moved to Atlanta. I actually didn’t even know that till I went to ATL back in like 2003 and saw him on a billboard. Frank Ski was a local celebrity and was a big player in the club scene. He was responsible for this

I had the cassette single for Doo Doo Brown.

The number callouts are taking me back. 102.7, 88.9 (which I still listen to sometimes)…

I love that our music is on your mind. On some WaPo shyt: if you don’t get it, you don’t get it.
