Chloe is hosting a series of "Cool Pop at Chloe" nights, awesome fun for those of you who don’t like to get too intense, and love to be able to sing to what the DJ's playing after a few drinks! If you love something with a beat and verbal gymnastics … then get out your old LPs of these artists and practice for your Saturday night at Chloe nightclub in London!
Run-DMC
So much sampling, so many cool rhymes, so many classics. You'll get bonus points if you can pick your favourite from Jam Master Jay, DMC and DJ Run and just spit their lyrics. 'It's Like That', 'It's Tricky' and 'Walk This Way' with Aerosmith were Run-DMC's most popular singles and most likely to be played at old-school hip-hop nights.
The Fat Boys
Not many of you will recognize the band members -- Buff Love, Biz Markie and Razhel, among others -- but most of you will be bopping along to 'Krush Groovin', skyrocketed on the U.S. R&B charts and was referenced by the Beastie Boys in 'Body Movin'.'
LL Cool J
The cool J might have gone the way of Ice T and moved from rap into cop-show acting, but that doesn’t take anything away from his old-school hip-hop tracks that London nightclubs could be playing. Sing along to 'Hey Lover' with your girlfriends, and know why he called himself 'Ladies Love Cool James'!
Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five
If you encounter a DJ with a big fat thing for old-school hip-hop at your London nightclub, you should get treated to some LPs of Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. You'll recognize 'The Message', which peaked at No. 4 on the charts, beating out the Sugar Hill Gang's 'The Lover in You' by some 51 spots!
The Sugar Hill Gang
I know you're all hot for Grandmaster Flash now -- but the Sugar Hill Gang were still one of the most formative and influential old-school hip-hop bands of last century. You might also recognize big tracks from them played at nightclubs in London's Cool Pop and Old Skool Hip Hop nights, like '8th Wonder' and 'Apache' … and the big one, of course, 'Rapper's Delight'.
