go-go music

Slim Charles is in a band, well his first name is Anwan Glover. He has been in numerous music videos since the wire started. I don’t know what, im writing this and im all sleepy still.

Backyard has had a tremendous impact on the go-go world ever since they came on the scene in 1991. Like the bands before them they started out with amateur equipment and little money. In their early years they hit us with songs like the famous ’91 Dope Jam and I Got Five On It. Backyard began a new style of go-go where they would take popular rap songs and hook them up with a phat go-go beat. This new style is what most young bands use today

In an episode of the Wire Stringer Bell says, “I don’t like that go go shit anyway.”
