What the heck is gogo music? i mean what defines it?
Go-go is defined by continuous, complex, heavy rhythm arrangements focused through two motifs performed on multiple congas, tumbadoras, and rototoms, interspersed with timbale and cowbell parts, driven by heavy-footed drumming and punctuated by crowd call-and-response.

Brown's 1979 hit single "Bustin' Loose" was the culmination of go-go music's early success. Trouble Funk signed with Sugar Hill Records, where they released "Pump Me Up". E.U. scored a national hit when they performed their song "Da Butt" in the Spike Lee motion picture School Daze in 1988.

Jus because you can't appreciate it, don't you dare be ignorant and say rude comments.

and again, not all songs in gogo are remakes/restyles of popular songs...PERFECT example is MAMBO SAUCE..."miracles"

What I remember of "Go-Go" music ...I think it originated in the late 60's early 70's. It was mainly played at nite clubs and was just live dance music no vocals.They would have scantily clad women dancing to the music and that's where the term "Go-Go" dancer came from Early form of stripping for the dancers. I 'm not sure if we are talking the same page here but, if we are, it in no way started in D.C. or Baltimore.... ;)
It's music that makes you want to go go to the bathroom.
