there have been so many times where i've been sitting around with a group of people talking about how our generation won't have any songs we'll want to listen to when we get older. we sit and wonder if we'll be able to fondly reminisce about our youth through the music of our time like our parents and grandparents often do. i know that personally hiphop will always be a part of my life, but im not always so sure that when im 70 years old i'll want to sit down and listen to A Milli. i have been listening to songs more for their replay-ability and "timelessness" lately, and one song i know i'll be listening to into old age is International Players Anthem. if not for the fact that the whole song is great, but for the fact that 3000 completely destroys it. wordplay and creativity of that caliber just doesnt get old no matter how old you are. so today, or maybe for the next few days (or weeks even) listen closer to your favorite songs. will you really want to listen to them a 2 weeks from now? 2 months? a year? 5 years? 20 years? 40 years? that is definitely a very long time a way, but just think about it.
