Famed Old School Rappers Perform Unannounced Halloween Show On Hoboken Street

HOBOKEN, NJ — Besides unique costumes and hilarious decor on Friday night, Hoboken Halloween had something else — old-school rappers.

UPDATE: See videos of Friday's performance in this story.

Members of The Sugarhill Gang, whose 1979 song "Rapper's Delight" is considered one of the first mainstream rap hits, stopped by to perform in a yard on 13th Street.

Master Gee and Hen Dogg performed several hip-hop songs including their most famous.

The homeowner said that the pair were a "friend of friends." Last year, he hosted a performance by"Naughty By Nature's" Treach in the same space.

The police said the concert had to shut down around 8 p.m. They shut down trick-or-treating on the crowded uptown blocks at the same time.

Stay tuned for footage of the event.

Meanwhile, Hoboken's annual Ragamuffin Parade stepped off at 4:30 p.m. See the best costumes here.
