'Pieces of Me' Go-Go Cover by Rare Essence

- One of Rare Essences' most popular crossover hits, 'Pieces of Me' rose to the top of the R&B, Hip-hop, and Pop charts in the DMV. I remember people not even knowing that the song was really a cover of Ashlee Simpson! The cover eclipsed the original and, for many, introduced them to the DC-born, soul-infused hip-hop we call ... GO-GO!

People outside DC will never truly understand Go Go was LIFE
Go-Go IS LIFE Moe! 💪🏾
I'm telling you it define 05-06 for me RIP POLO🙏😤🚀

they will never understand. Go Go got us through some hard times in DC. The most fun I ever had. Love it forever!!! 🔥
I’m from Richmond but spent my summers in DC with my aunt and uncle. So go-go always has a special place for me. ❤️
This single got way more spins then the real joint lol 😂 classic!!!
I am from el Salvador but I love DC and this music!!!!
No cap, there’s probably more salvadoreños in the DMV than El Salvador.

I loved the original song but living in DC when the go go version hit the radio it was crazy how good it was and Ashley Simpson record label threatened to sue rare essence and i knew from that day on how powerful go go was#DMV
Wow! I never knew that. #Dcproud
I don’t even remember the original!
I was in 20's but I too loved the original one but once I heard this one i never went back to the original lol. They took this song to another level, I came here simply for nostalgia down memory lane.
This is one of favorites
Idk why it's not like Ashlee Simpson wrote this song.....
This song rocked DC for about two years straight and it’s still cranking. No place like DMV
We wouldn't let go....still rocking today ❤
Facts
I just heard this cover for the first time and I am BLOWN AWAY 😍🔥 I love this version more than the original!!!!

I miss living in the DMV , this song took me back for a sec
M Williams where do u live now
You missed living at a driving department area for drivers license? You were a hobo or something?
Sketch Onomadek DMV is: DC, Maryland, Virginia
I’m just a country boy from va and I love go go and always will. I went to school in Tennessee and they were like what’s go go? I had a little spot on the ETSU radio many moons ago and played a lot of it mostly junkyard, rare essence, chuck brown , dj kool, and northeast groovers. They loved it and didn’t even no about it. I’m 44 now and still love it and want more covers to go go beats . They jus sound better I think. Jus sayin 👍
Lanham, PG, DC we all in...

Oxon Hill!
I'll never forget in my senior year of high school at Big Bad Ballou back in 2004 our band hit this at a basketball game and this girl said oh they killed it! 🔥
I remember Ballou was the only school that got on the news more than Fairmont lol
Nights all day
From the DMV down to Orlando. Still cranking in 2019.
I remember hearing this song on the radio in college (longwood university in farmville va around 2005ish) and I would never catch the band's name - pretty sure I have a mix tape or two somewhere with this song recorded off the radio. I always loved it, and I knew it was a cover but for whatever reason I never dug deeper. I also didn't know anything about the DC go-go music scene (and i grew up in rva) until I had moved and been living in Maryland for a few years.
for whatever reason this song popped in my head today and I finally took the time to look it up ❤ a fantastic fun live cover that brings back memories of driving around farmville sharing a bowl 😂
Love my City Washington DC, The Nation's Capital and home of Go-Go, And shoutout to all the surrounding counties that support DC's music 🙏🏽
Omg. Love Y'all. Yes I'm Uptown NW Lady.. Miss home.
Fire 🔥 from Baileys Crossroads VA showing love!!!
I live there for along time in my youth.
I remember the first time my husband played this for me...if I didn't love go go before, I was head over heels now...this cover is f%*king brilliant #dcgogo #dmvlove
Real music never dies!
There needs to be more go-go versions of pop songs.
ITS ALOT RESEARCH
Like twice!
Cool
I’ll)

🤣🤣😍
I hated it in college and as I became older , I love old school Go Go
First time I heard Go-Go was back in 82. Just came from Germany and was stationed at Ft Belvoir, VA. Trouble Funk came to our Enlisted Club and turned it out. I heard Rare Essence were in Germany but I missed seeing them. After that Chuck Brown, E.U., Junkyard Band, Backyard Band, White Boy, etc. Go-Go is here to stay. Alexandria, VA in the house!!! Saw a Go-Go meets Rap concert at the infamous Capital Center in Maryland back in the mid 80's.
I been listening to this everyday since 2012 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ashlee Simpson doesn't even know her impact in the dmv
703 Jay AT ALL

Facts!
#FACTS...TOTALLY forgot she made this song because RE bangs it so hard that it truly became theirs & the DMV's!!! 👍🔥🔥🔥😂

This is a beautiful cover! Well done!!!
Leave it up to r.e. to crank the song harder and better than the original version.. Rip the godfather of go go.. Thanks for influencing young artists in the #D.M.V. #P.G.County
That's what DC do we influence
i was born in se love go go music it should be more popular than it is, people listed to it world wide, let's give it a bigger push
David Young if we make it bigger, white people will fuck it up and then try to say they created it like they do everything else.
Lauren Neal why the racists bullshit?
Lauren Neal seriously?? This is the negative shit we need to overcome
David Young rare essence has done international shows. It's a genre of music that has been recognized nation wide also, but go go music will forever be for Washington DC (D.M.V).
@@freedomjoyneal4759 Why you gotta bring race into it?
