i thought it was conscious daughters too, that's right in line...but for some reason i'm totally sure they were from DC.

i might be wrong on the whole C thing i'm not sure...the DC thing really sticks in my head cuz there are never many rappers from DC.

it was Nonchalant.

and it was a solo rapper, not a group, but she was from D.C. title was "5 O'Clock," dope song.

GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!!

wiki says it hit in 96, but i probably would've placed it closer to early 90s like you did, matt.

xpost haha no prob

haha i had this marley marl mix from the late 90s that had like 5 nonchalant joints on it

damn i'm so glad you got that alex...anyway here's the video. love the beat to this one...i wonder who the guy rapper is?

if you had a good day, damn i must've missed it

This is pretty good. I love threads like this.

i wish D.C. radio still played this song all the time instead of that Tabi Bonnet bullshit and the really bad pop Go-Go that's big these days.

Hey, I like the pop go-go if you mean Mambo Sauce. I also enjoyed the female fronted CCB's "Classy" but they have since recycled the melody with different words on their latest not so strong single.

who is big in go-go nowadays anyway, i wouldn't know anything past like EU and trouble funk and chuck brown and stuff like that...is it different now? less live band i'm assuming?

Still live bands (guitar,bass, keys, congas, drums), just no horn sections. Chuck Brown is still big. Several of the younger groups have woman singers so they can go for a more straight-ahead r'n'b feel (that sometimes sounds poppy). These groups also have guys who rap to cover that end of things.

On New Year's Eve Chuck is headlining the 930 Club with Sugar Bear from EU opening, along with younger go-go band Mambo Sauce on first.

yeah it's not all bad, and i'm not deep enough into Go-Go to know all the names (although I know some of the Mambo Sauce stuff). even Chuck Brown's recent stuff with the programmed beats was kinda cool. but goddamn I hate that "my fatty" song.

there was some thread about a dude name Wale and i checked it out, he was supposed to be go-go hip hop but only one older sounding song was, the rest sounded like okay kanye-ish type stuff.

i guess he is popular in the blogosphere because he wears pants that fit.

yeah I think Wale had one Go-Go-ish song I heard but mostly I think he's just regular rap and the press latched onto a "D.C. = Go-Go" shorthand in coverage of him. i'll give him his props, even though he's all caught up in Catchdubs/Mark Ronson world.

this song is dope, never heard it before.
k def is on this???

Heather B had this pre "All Glocks Down" and maybe even pre "The Real World" track that I kind of wish I could remember the name of it. I have vague impressions of early 90s alterna-dopeness.
