Music Inspires Music

Man, I love it when I see something or someone and a song pops up in my head, or when I hear a song and try to find out where the sample came from or which other artist used it. It all gets my mind running all over the place and can't really focus until I find and listen to that one song I'm looking for... or until I forget about it...

Those moments sometimes give me a fresh take on a song I already heard either by seeing how it could have inspired someone else, or how much more I should appreciate a specific song.

This dude here went bananas and did a piano cover of Nas's Untitled album...

Made me want to listen to the whole album again (which I am doing right now... WTF do u mean u didn't listen to it yet???? COP THAT ALBUM!!!). Also makes me want to learn to play the piano, I should really look into it... even though I don't have one at home... I need another hobby that will keep me focused and enrich my mind.
