I did a lot of DJing in an English pub sorta dive here in LA and we would clear THOSE drunks out by blasting hip-hop!! After a night of heavy drinking while listening to blues, punk, and hard rock, the crowd reacted like they'd been hit with a fucking cattle prod at 1:45 a.m. when we broke out Public Enemy and N.W.A. . . . Actually, we weren't even that polite. My DJ partner, Ms. Donna, who was about 5 foot tall, killer smile, killer tattoos, and who always had some place else to be at 2:00 a.m., would simply cut the music, stand on the turntables, and scream: "CLOSING TIME, ASSHOLES!!! Drink the fuck UP, and get the fuck OOOUUUTTTT!!!" Charming AND effective . . . I love the story about clearing a hip-hop club with Van Halen!

That song can peal the paint from the walls. I worked at a hip-hop night club in the 90's. End of night, lights go up, time to clear the room. 1984 baby. - Cosmo Agreed. 10 mins too short.
