People are going to want to hear music they know / can dance to so here would be my picks
Sugarhill Gang - Rappers Delight
Ghostface - Daytona 500 (cut off the short interlude and get straight to the bass line)
NWA - Gangsta Gangsta or Fuck The Police
A Tribe Called Quest- Award Tour
Wu-Tang - Cream
Nas - The World Is Yours (Lifes a bitch is more popular but you can't really dance to it)
Pac/Makaveli - Hail Mary
Camden Brooks
To add to this it doesn't necessarily need to be old but have the feeling of a classic I'm adding a few Kendrick and madvillain songs
Jayden Foster

Jordan Bailey
k you might get thrown off stage for it, but depending on the crowd some people might get a kick out of Jump by Kriss Kross. If i was at the club and the DJ played Jump I'd get on that dance floor real quick
Michael Taylor
...
Colton Miller
In that case you might consider some early Kanye?
Breathe In Breathe Out?
Slow Jamz?
All Falls Down?
Workout Plan?
Get Em High?
Camden Ramirez
But he doesn't mention production, surely what Nas did on Illmatic is music?
