actually I've been thinking about this. I think that hip hop has evolved quickly so the older music is quickly forgotten. I do believe that at some time it will stabilize, and then and only then songs will gain "timeless" status. Since rock music (which I like as well) is really about 3 to 5 chords and decent lyrics, hip hop/rap has quite an indepth poetry associated with it that is still being altered (i.e. multis are only what? 15-20 years old?). idk... just what I think.
