The kids these days don't understand what true legends are.

I'm having a fight on Instagram with a guy who says that Drake is the best Canadian artist of all time. Drake? Really? When I mentioned Neil Young, Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen he's all like' "yeah, they're great at all, but they don't have the same impact on music and talent as Drake". This guy from his picture looks about 25 and doesn't even realize that Drake isn't even as legendary as Alanis Morissette and I don't even consider her a legend. Drake hasn't even written a single song on any of his albums by himself.

These yutes are driving me crazy. They don't understand legends.

You don’t get much cooler than that without being the Fonz. EHHHHHHHH!

[–] samoanjoes (58645) 5 years ago

He writes his own stuff by himself so that's +1 over Drake.

[–] Stratego (31085) 5 years ago

That's what I'm saying, a true Canadian legend!😎

K.D. Lang, another great Canadian on the list. What pipes!

*shakes cane* Get offa my lawn!

I'm personally not a fan but I respect her as an artist. I'm not the biggest fans of Joni Mitchell, Neil Young and Leonard Cohen either, but I'm well aware of their talents and their influence.

[–] Catbookss (13664) 5 years ago

I m a fan of hers, although generally not so of country western. She really does have a fine voice. Also Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, and Jane Siberry. All fine lyricists, composers, musicians, and singers.

Drake's Devil Dogs are legend though.

Funny Bones were my fav.

[–] samoanjoes (58645) 5 years ago

I had to look that up. They look delish.

[–] nyctc7 (44119) 5 years ago

Yodels were my fav.

You were young once, and there was a time when nobody could have convinced you that Frank Sinatra could ever have had a tenth of the legendary cultural impact that Joni Mitchell had.

[–] samoanjoes (58645) 5 years ago

But this is Drake. He's only popular. He's not even one of the greatest of all time.

[–] Moonglum9 (11340) 5 years ago

Gilgamesh is the only true legend. Everyone afterwards pales in comparison. But I remember growing up how I thought that he wouldn’t amount to anything. Boy do I have egg on my face now.

[–] Catbookss (13664) 5 years ago

And what about Trufflehunter and Nikabrik, eh, eh?

[–] Moonglum9 (11340) 5 years ago

Well Nikabrik is a jerk. He’s no DLF, that’s for sure.

[–] Catbookss (13664) 5 years ago

Sure sure, ignore Trufflehunter, why don't you.

[–] Padeen (6459) 5 years ago

I'm surprised he even know who Leonard Cohen is.

[–] samoanjoes (58645) 5 years ago

He probably Googled it so I wouldn't call him out.

[–] nyctc7 (44119) 5 years ago

I know nothing about his music but he was funny on SNL Black Jeopardy

[–] samoanjoes (58645) 5 years ago

He used to be an actor. The funny thing is that I understood all of his references.

[–] Kowalski (79176) 5 years ago

I LIKE AVRIL LAVIGNE MORE THAN I LIKE DRAKE.

[–] samoanjoes (58645) 5 years ago

Me too. I even prefer Drake as an actor over him as a rapper.

[–] Kowalski (79176) 5 years ago

AGREED

[–] actionkamen (23176) 5 years ago

Justin Timberlake is also better as an actor. Too bad his acting career never took off.
