[@robertclarkii4256]

Man! I attended this one; Love Stole the SHOW!!! Raw Image- WAYYY underrated

[@royhollins4232]

They sound too much like Back. I mean they crank, their sound was just borrowed.

[@raphaelbellinger3047]

@Roy Hollins Exactly💯.. Probably why they never got their just due.. I remember the first time I heard them, I thought it was Back on some new.. Can’t tell me slim rapping don’t sound like Los and of course Sixx sounds Like G.. Too many similarities to Back during that time.. The crank was definitely real tho and Love was always a beast on them skins.💯✌🏾

[@MrMoet]

This is classic.

[@NEONOIRERA]

What a time to be alive

[@stringerbell8945]

[@kellygreen_kaymeadz4688]

[@MrTdollarsign]

It was TCB that use to play after BYB at the hot shops, Raw image played on Sundays and UCB played there on Saturday

[@marcusthomas2831]

Man slim. Love is a DAWG on them Congos

[@Boom_1306]

🔊🔥🔥🔥🔥 That music section then Love Crank thru

[@BLACK_MikeHammer]

A lot of dudes got smoked and murked after these go-go's, as much fun was in them go-go's, after they let out, man a lot of guns was brought out of trunks and let loose.. R.I.P Josh, Nunu, Lil Dev, Sursum Cordas

[@bobbackwoods]

[@christopherreid3400]

U no something

[@BLACK_MikeHammer]

@@christopherreid3400 I don't know jack slim, I shouted out my down bottom Sursum Cordas, 1st St fallen ones... And everybody else from N. Capitol down on who's passed on

[@kingvincent9835]

Yup ... slowly closed venues around the city one by one. Watched them fall like dominos. Truly triflin😖

[@BLACK_MikeHammer]

@@kingvincent9835 Then niggas took they beefs out PG county, till PG said "nuh nuh mfers, ya'll got us f****d up out here if you think we gon tolerate that gun play like in the city".. They pushed em further out to Charles county, Waldorf and sh*t...Same sh*t happened out there, niggas shooting sh*t up.. Niggas always f**ked sh*t up, couldn't have a good time w/o niggas bringing out them hammers and bustin them thangs.. This was my era back in 2001 till about 2005, when I had to stop attending go-go's cos you had to come strapped and always kept ya head on a swivel for rival crews....

[@ninog5499]

[@coldbilly7916]

OMG

[@freein2339]

Yall stole the name "Raw Image" from a funk band in the 70s....

[@larrybyrddmv]

What happened to gogo in y'all opinion?

[@bobbackwoods]

The door shenanigans of holding the line, forcing you to pay extra for the cut line, made me stop going 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@socialpublisher123]

These young bands have turned their backs on the congas. Also, the go go crowd is older now.

[@coldbilly7916]

They Didn't last because sounded To Much Like BYB, That was they Downfall

[@jaircraftengineer5640]

True on a way, but raw did have the own style of crank!!, & BYB my favorite but once Raw got into that crank bag!!, it would hit in a unique way, it's still some Raw sound I would love to find that I still have in my head from 20+ years ago!

[@coldbilly7916]

@jaircraftengineer5640 all great Points My Bro, But Sixx Sounding like Big Hound did more harm Than Good!

[@jaircraftengineer5640]
