Young Forever- Jay Z ft. Mr. Hudson

Twenty years from now Young Forever will still be one of the all-time greatest songs of the hip-hop genre. Jay Z is one of the best rappers of all time. Young Forever was actually written before Jay Z wrote it or reproduced it. It was first written by Alphaville in 1984. The song has been on the soundtrack for numerous movies and television shows. The rap version with Jay Z came out in January 2010 when the latest Jay Z album was released, The Blueprint 3. In the music video, which is done in black and white, it illustrates many characteristics of young kids. The song reached many top ten charts and topped out at number two on a Dutch chart. This was Jay Z’s seventeenth single to reach the top ten. The lyrics of the song tell a story of how a man, possibly Jay Z, who is living the dream life and feels like a young kid again. He refers to being a legend and states that his name will never die. Jay Z is addressing the youth of the nation with his song to express the point to always have fun and remember your days as a kid. Jay Z sings, “so were livin’ life like a video where the sun is always out and you never get old,” which simply means that he wants everyone to enjoy life and live it to its fullest. This is one of my favorite songs of all-time and it deserves all the recognition in the world. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1nbvplgElw
