A LIL BODY FOR YOUR SOUL TO ADD TO THE REST! boomboomboom . does my go go dance

[djkaneck1]

Not to bring up really terrible stuff but wasn't it her lawsuit against NWA that started the East-West Coast beef?

[boriquacub76]

@djkaneck1 Not necessarily...East-west coast beef had been before that. NYC always felt that hip hop belonged exclusively to them and from the mid to late 80's and even in to the early 90's NYC DJ's would not play artists from outside of NY. I would always run in to NY cats out west here who hated on Cali,Florida artists, even Philly got shade. Funny now most NY rappers rap over dirty south beats.

[djkaneck1]

@boriquacub76 I do remember when in the 70's NY DJ's didn't play disco records because gays listened to it but NYC in 70's and 80 did play alot of West Coast records. In fact some of the famous old school NYC DJ's came from Cali and Philly. Matter of fact I remember hearing 2 Live Crew and Magic Mike records being played at Juice Crew concerts. DJ Premier is from Texas and so forth. Now Hammer, fucked it up by dissin East Coast Rap Pioneers twice!

[boriquacub76]

@djkaneck1 They may have been playing the funk and r& stuff that came from Cali...I always remembered NY artists and DJ's being very gaurded about hip hop. I have had cats say certain Cali artists wouldn't get play. I just always remembered the east-west tension way before this and way before Pac & BIG that just helped bring it to the forefront.

[djkaneck1]

i thought herman kelly wrote the original

[lala0578]

[chuker77]

Man I wish i knew they were makin this video up at the Crenshaw mall back then I would've ran up there fo sho! Ha! Ha! I stayed right on slauson!

[mannmoore]

HAHAHAH. THAT IS ME on the elevators at the Baldwin Hills mall, grooving. HAHAHAHA

[svetaswan]

I remember reading in the mid-'80s about Go-Go music & how popular it was in the Washington D.C. area- it was basically music local to that area. It had a certain mystique with me. Then,a couple of years later-you started hearing it on a national scene...rappers started incorporating it in their songs and Spike Lee got EU to do "Da Butt" for the "School Daze" soundtrack. People just wanted that kind of sound. Then,the craze died down, but as I understand it, the music endured in the D.C. area.

[Cornbread31090221]

Reminds me of the days when she hosted a local rap video show called "Pump It Up" i was fresh outta Compton High School...good times back then.

[shotsenn]

Whatever happened to Lady T? She was one

fine sistah!! Anybody know what she's doing

now??

[purpleroseh23]

Thank you shotsenn. :-)

[Nyclassic2006]

I'm gonna sound like a fool but I heard of body & soul and heard this song but I never knew Dee Barnes was one of the rappers on it. I just knew her as host of Pump it up. . .

[crunk617]

Big up to the Soul Brother's dancing in the vid

[keyaro]

hip hop WAS fun back in the day. i've been looking for this joint for a long time. it's great to see it again.

[crunk617]

i could have sworn that had other vids besides this one

[deliciousvinyl]

we only made one of them but Dee is in Def Jef's Give It Here..

[boriquacub76]

Whats good DV? whatever happened to these chicks? I remember they were supposed to have an album out that never maternalized...I did however track down 3 tracks from them from a soundtrack and compliation that I never new existed.

[LemonAndYoghurt]

I luv the way they slowed this track down. Put beneath a james brown presidents break and you get a salt n pepa style "shake your thang" you know what Im saying?

[Goldskool]

i think the go go dance days where way before salt & pepa

with this classic.

[sendtorich]

props to Dee for collaborating with Troublefunk

DC baby!!!

[sendtorich]

Doctor Dre never collaborated with Troublefunk

[Bnsashbl]

Take me out to the Go Go!

[dunclap]

Thats taking it back to the World on Wheels days and the good life.

[Grooveraider]

I hope Dr Dre understood beating women makes his less of a man. Because regardless of what Dee Barnes did -- NWA was still successful. You're gonna have critics out there hating stuff that catches on. There's no avoiding it.

[avp0713]

Who is the guy in the beginning of the video with the white trench coat on. He used to be a regular dancer on SoulTrain, what's his name and what's he up to now. thx.

[sendtorich]

i thought she was married to that "Give It Here" guy

but i don't remember his name - just the video where he was driving that Ford Probe

[deliciousvinyl]

Def Jef... if she was i wasn't aware of it... could be.. i was too busy trying to get stores to bring in more stock !

[sendtorich]

yeah Def Jeff - she was in that video... maybe they weren't married, maybe i was exaggerating

[purpleroseh23]

Ah come on Deliciousvinyl, if you really had anything to do with the label at the time these groups were there, you know there was nothing going on with Dee and Jef, especially not marriage.

[urbanflavorz]

@sendtorich She was married to the comedian Ricky Harris.

[dicklacock]

Whatever happened to that show?  The intro was TIGHT!

[blackeyefilms]

Ahhh the 90's

[brightseatbully]

it's funny how many hip-hop classics are at least influenced by go-go but bamas don't even know it. ask somebody from nyc about go-go and they're like "what's that?" but they DO know "my mic sounds nice" or "rock the bells." weird.

[jazinegrrrl]

Yes, Dr. Dre severely beat up Dee in a nightclub because he didn't like the interview she did with Ice Cube. Dee ran into the bathroom trying to escape his blows. He followed her and dragged her out the bathroom to continue the assault. He beat her so severely she required hospitalization. No one in the community had her back. Rappers even praised Dre's actions. I wonder where she is now.

[svetaswan]

(re: jazinegrrl) - wow - I didn't know the beating was THAT severe. A man hitting a woman is wrong period - but I just thought he slapped her around & maybe punched her for a few moments. Since I hadn't paid that much attention to NWA prior to that - that was my first impression of Dr. Dre, & I disliked him for a number of years (even during the height of "Nuthin' But a G Thang"). But in years since, from listening to him in interviews & stuff like that - I discovered his softer, "human" side...

[svetaswan]

....(contd.) and I respected his genius. At some point, it just started to seem to me that he wasn't as "bad" or as "thuggish" as I had previously thought. But hearing this...it makes me wonder if I was too quick to "forgive" him for that act of violence - I mean, that sounds like a SAVAGE beating that goes beyond a mere bad temper, drunkenness, or loss of self-control.

[seaniemo]

Go T-R-O-U-B-L-E FUNK!!!

[Luffyone]

Didn't Dr. Dre beat her up or something?

[ramborai1987]

yea i fink so

[luridtruth]

The full story is that Dee Barnes was married to comic Rick Harris, nephew of comedian Robin Harris and when Dr. Dre confronted Ricky about anti-NWA jokes a fight ensued. Dee Barnes attempted to help her husband and Dr. Dre knocked the fuck out that bitch in her ear. Ricky Harris did not press charges because that was simply unheard of in South Central Los Angeles at the time. Dee Barnes pressed criminal charges because you have to do that in order to win a civil suit.

[purpleroseh23]

Hi Luridtruth. Unfortunately, you don't have the story right at all. I know because I was there the night it happened and I'm a good, good friend of both members of the group. Ricky wasn't anywhere at the party that night. Sorry, not true.

[yokharis]

so what IS the story purple??

[purpleroseh23]

And they weren't married at that time.
