I don't know anything about Hip Hop or Rap music but who is to say there aren't legends in the making in that genre of music. Like I said I don't really listen to that kind of music so I can't really provide examples, but I'm sure there is better Hip Hop/Rap music out there than the kind of stuff I generally hear on the radio (eminem, 50 cent and such). It would be like assuming Nickleback is the best rock band right now because they are on the radio so much.
I think people have a "back in the good old days" kind of mentality when it comes to music. Just like in hockey with the lack of respect thing, and former players trying to convince us they had more respect for each other than current players. There is nothing wrong with liking a certain kind of music from when you grew up, but just because you don't enjoy a certain genre of music that is more modern doesn't necessarily mean it is all garbage. Again I don't know anything about hip hop or rap music but I bet these genres have their own legends. I don't think my grandfather or many of the people in his age group were beatles fans, which doesn't mean that the beatles weren't legends.
I just don't agree with people saying all music made now is crap. While I think most of the music I hear on the radio generally sucks (to me) There is still plenty of music I like that has been made recently. So basically I think there will be legends from this period of time, maybe not legends to you or me but legends to a younger generation.
