Yes.
And I say this as someone who has been classically trained and absolutely worships the music of Bach (and Mozart for that matter).
"The Message" by Grandmaster Flash, A lot of The Beastie Boys, Some Kendrick Lamar, and many other hip-hop tracks and artists will definitely still be played and enjoyed 50 years in the future.
There are people who weren't alive at the beginning of hip-hop who are massive fans of the early artists. They'll be as popular as the greats of early rock, the greats of jazz etc.
You have to remember that when Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms etc were composing there was also a lot of absolute dross being composed at the same time. History forgets the garbage and remembers the greats. The same will happen for all genres of music.

They'll be as popular as the greats of early rock, the greats of jazz etc. How many people still listen to even the greatest of Big Band music? Rock and jazz have been passed down one or two generations but it's too soon to conclude they'll live forever.
- Intermernet 9y agoIf Bach could survive without the benefit of recorded media, then rock, jazz, big band and hiphop will survive easily. Maybe not forever, but definitely for hundreds of years.
