[@staxxafool5666]

UCB a legendary band , I’m a 90s baby from PG Maryland who experienced they come up as a youngin and seen how out of towners love when sexy lady come on in the parties during my college time

[@HouzmazooNetwork]

That CD with them on the basketball court up Park View legendary !!!

[@bigcasey2245]

“Sexy lady ” went global That’s the one gogo song all outta towners love

[@raeniecelightner9292]

I'm born and raised Inglewood california.a friend from DC just hip me to UCB. He played Sexy Lady. I was surprised and told him didn't know Gogo mixed other rap songs in them.I immediately became a fan of UCB. Too dope,so glad they are still performing. Hopefully they can get on a stage at one of these HBCU homecoming's. Rare Essence was at HU's last year. Was off the chain. ❤❤❤

[@shehateme9955]

Definitely keep going with the go-go joints. Its a deep bag. I use to hear stories from late 70s early 80s when my parents watched the genesis of go-go performed @school playgrounds & parks. History from when the District was 🍫 City

[@Bigedc07]

I’m originally from DC, in the Military and left DC in 2005. U really do great job! I’m dying to found out what happened to NEG!!! U continue pursuing being the best u!

[@Will008]

I feel like certain members past & present of UCB should’ve been also interviewed, just like “VH1 behind the Music” does. Members like, Big Marcus, G-money, Bo, Slump, Rashard, J.R., Moolie, and previous managers should have also been a part of this as well.

[@LinwoodPowell]

That synthesized riff from Sexy Ladies was inspired by "Don't Disturb this Groove" by The System.

[@mikegreen8938]

I first caught wind of UCB when i was living uptown back in 2000. I would see Trey and Roc Mikey at the Madness shop and across the street at Inna City Sounds with Woody and Ty. That dude Ty turned me onto them. Good times back then.

[@GosalynDucksCousin2xremoved]

Them days at the hot shops is where I first heard UCB. That line up was crazy raw ucb and tcb

[@riteousone2619]

Once again, an AMAZING documentary.

[@nightryda707]

Thanks 👍🏽

[@Mrwashington007]

Keep going with these gogo joints. Gogo history needs to continue to be documented. These interviews by old / original band members are gold.

[@AceCartier70]

UCB cranked so hard, niggaz just don't understand. 2000 through like 2007 era was crazy. Really from 98 but I started listening in 2000. Them niggaz made me fall in love with the music, the instruments. I taught myself how to play keyboard and toms and timbales just because I loved the shit. Thank yall niggaz for the Denos nights and the hot shoppes nights. Shit was legendary! 💪🏿💯💪🏿

[@j.b9346]

Love the GOGO docs!! Lots of background info I had no idea about in this one…GOGO history isn’t that well documented. Keep up the great work

[@DC4Life77]

That beat comes a group called The System. Don't disturb this groove is the song.

[@nightryda707]

Old school classic💯💪🏽

[@a.m.l.800]

And the original song sexy lady come from was Dont disturb this groove. Gotta include that

[@a.m.l.800]

Was blessed to be hip to UCB from the beginning. Older sister was up Coolidge with some of em. The early CD was the truth.

[@titutoyou]

It was also a band named THE MIGHTY YOUNG ONES that formed around 640 and the drummer lived on Quebec street Nw where the band practiced at also it was the first band he started with for a brief time it was a big show that was going to take the Mighty Young Ones to the top at the finale practice before the biggest show in the band lives the drummer was late and the band members were told that the drummer was locked up for a homicide which crushed the hearts of the band members they could never find a drummer good enough to replace Tank he's home now after serving about 20 years the band started in the mid 80s and ended in the early 90s
