Who Do You Think Is Going To Make The Cut Down The Line?

Let me set the scene for you. It's Friday afternoon and you have already made plans to leave work extra early. You first go to Wal-Mart, to get that last party tray of buffalo wings, Sam's Choice cola and party favors for the young people. You slide over to the ABC to get some Corona, Heineken, Jack Daniels, and Smirnoff. You race home to do to quick clean up and move your expensive stuff to your room for the fear of breakage. At this point your cell phone is ringing off the hook of your people just trying to get verbal confirmation that the event is still poppin' off.

Hey, everything is set for you party, but there is one critical thing left to do: the music!!!! So, you go to the Moto and call up Uncle Junebug to bring the music equipment. We all know Junebug is outside our demographic but he knows his music. What is the first song he plays to get things right? "Before I Let Go" by Maze of course, and instantly, the blue paper cups are put to the side, cigarettes in the ashtray, and the rugrats are asked to go on in the backyard, and the party officially begins!

But artists that offer classic jams like Maze are quite rare these days, so in your mind, which of today's artists do you think will offer the classic hits that we will play at our parties 10-15 years down the road?

Let me give you some examples and let me know how you feel about these:
Anything by Guy, a la "I Like" "Teddy's Jam"
Rob Base "It Takes Two"
Slick Rick/Doug E. Fresh "The Show"
Boston Area Artists New Editon "Candy" "NE Heartbreak", "If It Isn't Love"
The Classic Hip Hop Artists of Late 80's-Early 1990's a la Heavy D, Salt N Pepa, Special Ed, EPMD, Eric B and Rakim, Big Daddy Kane,Biz Markie, Tribe Called Quest, etc.

I just don't see any too many party jams of today's music making to your living room in the next couple of years.

But to celebrate the season, I did find one song that seems to never go out of style.
