Re: Ever hear rap live?

Listen, when I mention music, I mean music played by musicians, not a pre-fab concoction singing into a microphone. Of course there are preformers in rock that don't sound as good as in the studio, but when its done by the one who can do it right it is a performance that is to be remembered. (not so with rap in my opinion). Look we all have different tastes, and I am fine with that, but I doubt that todays youth, will be following 50 cent or a simular rapper, with the same passion when they're middle age, that a middle age person does now, who will still go to see the Stones, Who, Springsteen ect ect.., and if they were still around the Beatles. Some of their material is considered classics, that are played by children in schools. I mean I might be wrong....but it will be a sad day when my child tries to play, "lets take off all your clothes" on the piano. What rap song do think in 20 years will be considered a classic? If so, is there that many? I recently purchased Led Zeppelin's "How the west was won" I saw a performance from Jimmy Page, and my hair on my arm stood up! Will that be the case 20 years from now when you see an old performance of 50 cent/Snoop Dog/Eminem rapping into a microphone??
Stare into the gold teeth!
