Urgent Question

What on earth is "Da Butt"?? Promising title!

Fairly so-what go-go track; used in one of Spike Lee's films.

Da Butt on YouTube, low-quality transfer. AND YOU WOULD BE MUCH BETTER SPENDING YOUR TIME WATCHING THE "GALBI" VIDEO.

Dear god go-go was dull. That's something that didn't come up in the discussion of the hip-hop wars: how the black music-is-always-better crowd had been tarnished by the tedious instance that Trouble Funk were the future we should all embrace.

Haha, I have spoken to a HIP-HOP WARS SURVIVOR (not at the NME at the time, but he was working high up in music journalism) and he was trying to convince me that go-go was due a much needed comeback!

Re: Urgent Question

I actually thought he was talking about The Go Gos at first, and was confused.

He is also the male vocalist (uncredited on this poll) on Salt N Pepa's "Shake Your Thang"

By "he" you mean Gregory "Sugar Bear" Elliot, not Spike Lee. (Think the whole band might have been on that track.)

It's awesome! I don't think I currently own a copy in any form or I would upload it.
