Real Hiphop for a mainstream audience

[Nonchalant]

I think I've done this thread before but yo, it's a new era. Anyways, what are real hiphop tracks you guys will use in a set for a less than hip-hop crowd. Bonus points if you're on some serious backpack rap.

These are pretty obvious but I'll start with these two, I'll come with better shit later I swear:

Pete Rock - The Creater
(Pretty obvious choice, starting easy alright?)

Dangerdoom ft Cee-Lo - Benzie Box
(The bassline should get em on this, it's not exactly peak hour shit but it'll work alright for having Doom on it)

This is like an early in the night jam that I play a lot when folks aren't really dancing.

Digital Underground will always get love. Whether its doowutchyalike , humpty dance, same song, etc. pretty much all their hits get love and are recognizable to most people.

Run DMC - It's Tricky and Peter Piper

It Takes Two has been a get people on the floor type of song since it dropped.

What do you consider a less than Hip Hop/Mainstream crowd? Are we talking more R&B, Dance, or Rock crowd? Down here in the South: Baby Got Back, Jump Around, Walk This Way,Nothing But a G Thang, Let Me Ride, Gin & Juice, Passing Me By, Say No Go, Me Myself and I, The New Style, Check the Ryhme, Paid In Full, Bring The Noise.

I guess I'm trying to stay away from obvious choices. For example: A.D.O.R - Let It All Hang Out

Cheka, you can bang Blu & Ex and have it go off decent?
