A List Of Songs Turning 20 This Year

A List Of Songs Turning 20 This Year

As if we needed another reminder of how we are now the aunties and unks, the millennial generation had arguably the best music and music videos, some of which are turning 20 years old this year.  If you’re anything like us, you’ll never get tired of a classic.  2002 was a year of 2 ways and Nokias, baby phat and school lunch. A new banger every week that you had to wake up early to catch the video for before school in the mornings.  Once these hits dropped, you could head over to your local F.Y.E and cop the hard copy CD, blasting your favorites all year long.  Times were good.
