Whose music will stand the test of time?

  • 6 years ago
Some one-hit wonders stand the test of time, too, says John Legend.

Question: Whose music will stand the test of time?
 
John Legend:  I think Kanye [West] is making great music. I think RadioHead is making great music. I think Jay-Z is making great music. I think Lupe Fiasco is making great music.
There's a range of artists that I think are really doing what I what I try to do, and that is try to push the boundaries; try to make something special; try to make something with artistic integrity that is cool, and fresh, and new. And those artists I respect.
