Within the context of music, legends are the elite few that have managed to change the music industry permanently. They're the artists whose influence will continue for decades after they're gone. If they manage to sell a lot of records, that's cool, but success is temporary, fleeting. True legends are immortal, in that the impact of their body of work will still be visible 20, or 30, or even 50 years from now. They're the ones who will still be recognized by our children, and their children.
I don't see it for the girls that some stan for on here just yet.
I'm saying those are the most recent legends (male & female).
