Go crazy has two distinct uses. In its standard sense it means to suddenly behave irrationally, lose one's mind, or have a breakdown. In a slang sense used particularly in youth and hip-hop influenced contexts, it means to perform outstandingly or to be excellent — to go so hard at something that it looks like madness. The second, positive sense ('that track goes crazy') is increasingly common in informal speech and online contexts and can catch unaware listeners off guard.
The crowd went crazy when the DJ dropped the old track — everyone on the floor immediately.
