VA - Go Go Get Down, Pure Ghetto Funk From Washington DC [2012]

A 2012 collection of pure Ghetto Funk from Washington DC.. compiled by British DJ/producer Joey Negro. a mammoth and rare retrospective of Washington DC's spectrum of Ghetto Funk, this collection showcases the visionary side of the GoGo scene while bringing its key artists the modern exposure they deserve. Joey Negro gives US an insight into the vintage rhythms and chiming cowbells as well as the dedicated soul screams that pierce through the retro soul rhythm that gives GoGo its distinctive sound. A brilliant mid-`80s time capsule. And if all this not enough, you get the awesome ghetto funk of "War On The Bullshit" by Osiris (featuring the funkiest, Sly Stone-like vocals you will ever hear) and the awesome EU track "EU Groove"! (Amazon)

In hindsight the 1980s were at least as radical and influential as the 1960's and 70's as far as Black American music is concerned. The thing is, it didn't necessarily seem like it at the time...
