Some of the best music around; no matter age, color or proximity to D.C. when I was seven or eight my third grade class went to D.C. I got off the bus straight out the country, saw some cats playing five gallon paint buckets and coffee cans with drum sticks. Rest of the kids were like, "wtf" I was like, "Awww damn! That's the most amazing sh*t I've ever heard!"... I've not been the same since
Ahhh 60 year old SE Anacostia sistah checking in started partying at the Panorama Room with Chuck Brown and the Soul Searchers. California girl now but trust my kids and grandkids party to GoGo; this music is our culture the heartbeat of DC. So i share with my tribe as their heritage🎵🎶
I'm from Chester,PA., when I lived in Hopewell,VA in the mid 90's all I listened too was BackYard,Rare Essence, the Huckabuck's,and JunkYard Band dat Go Go will have u moving on the floor all night
Eddie Jones I’m from Petersburg and I can relate. Makes me remember my teenage years. We were so “grown” listening to this and knowing all the words lol
I grew up In southern Maryland (Lexington Park, St.Marys County) and I remember hearing this song all the time when I was younger. Love some Go Go. Now I live In Eugene, Oregon and I haven’t heard it live in a very long time. Gotta bring it back??

This half white, quarter Korean, quarter Native American boy lived in affluent area of Mont. Co. back in the day. Used to go to the club to see JYB with my black mom and her kids. Sometimes we'd roll down to Tacoma Park, Langley Park, Oxen Hill, and Anacostia SE to see s'up with the go go. Sometimes I'd lunch hard (that white boy's a lunchbox!) and we'd go see the great JYB. I'd usually be the only non-black boy there, but it didn't matter cause everyone was dancing and my black mom and her 5 kids looked out for me. Whenever I hear JYB I get nostalgic. Miss them days (all of 30+ years ago) sometimes and my black mom all the time! (RIP and love you, Mrs. C)
Middle school years right here. Pretty girls, jams at the back of the bus, mix tapes, WKYS, WPGC. All those go-go beats that echoed past the District into VA and MD.
The Black and African-American Community is represented the Go-Go music . The sound and soul the black people of DC and the DMV -DC, Maryland and Virginia!
I'm only 17 but i cant forget growing up in south east d.c and listening to go go music. Don't know one know bout this down in georgia less they from d.c
Went to a Delaware State University party around ‘96. There was a girl standing near me talking to another girl and her man. When the DJ dropped this song she screamed OH SH*T and proceeded to FREAK ME DOWN....this song is cool 😎👍🏾
Oh hell yea... I miss old school P.G. County... I grew up with this. I hope gogo never dies. I still have all my old tapes. Remember Ultimate Groove?? Shit... I went to school with a couple guys from Rare Essence. LONG LIVE GOGO! And thank you for puttin it up.. From the crazy white boy (J Sizzle) BIG TIME MEMORIES...
WHOA!!! I’m from DC Born and Raised, and let me tell you!!! Play this song to anyone who is from DC and was at their prime in the late 90s. THEY WILL LOSE THEIR MINDS!!! And let me tell you something else... When the term “twerking” came out, any and everyone from DC was like ....”that’s nothing new”, because if you were at the go-go. EVERY CHICK was droppin’ it like it’s HOT!!!
At least you understand....a little, I thought all hope was lost down here. Born & raised in the D.M.V, moved to GA in 99 & felt like a fish outta water ever since.
I was in Job Corps at Harpers Ferry, West Virginia...we had them Go Go tapes circulated after we came back from weekend passes...all I had to do was hit Alabama Avenue in Southeast or Constitution Avenue in Northwest...Kemp Hill music near the Metro Center Subway station...Junkyard, Northeast Groovers, Backyard, Rare Essence, Pleasure, etc!
Please name some more after the “etc” cause im just gettin into go-go (shame on me i kno) and i love it ! Im tryna fill up my whole phone with this shit so put me on 1 time jiv
Yo I used to go to school in DC, Potomac Job Corp center and the DC gogo music I started liking it when I was up there back then!! Hot Classic!!!!! So much fun back then!!!!lol

In Hampton, Va this was one of the few jams they would play during the go go sets at the legion, Club Merritts, and can't remember the last kiddie club we could go to as teens.

When I was a young Latino Kid growing up in Montgomery County... I was about 10 years old when this song came out. Gogo music was everywhere back then. This bring backs so many young memories.
Man i miss these dayz when this beat drop everybody in the gogo drop at the same time shit was like a movie wish i had some of them old hobart block parties
this is great programming music because the lyrics are simple and repetitive but if my headphones pop out I will probably get some funny looks around the IT department lol
