    ....that has not made one already.


    Here are my candidates:

    JOEY BADASS

    This guy is only 20, he still has a lot of potential. I really liked B4.DA.$$ and some of his other projects. This is probably a crazy guess and he could probably steer away from the mainstream music in the future. But I like the potential of this guy.

    VINCE STAPLES

    I feel like this might be a popular one because he is well liked among this forum, plus Summertime 06 was a really good album. I found that predicting classics is a very hard thing to do, you kind of have to take a wild guess, this one I feel a little confident in.

    YG
    [​IMG]
    My Krazy Life was a really good album, in fact some people actually regard it a classic....when it isn't. I believe that we have not seen the best of YG yet and that he can go one better than My Krazy Life and just sneak an album into the classic category.



    And obviously Drake is another candidate for those who don't consider Take Care as a classic, but it's no fun predicting Drake. ;D I want people to make more daring predictions.

    Others that I've ignored: Future, ASAP Rocky & Young Thug (sorry Narsh), they will continue to make great projects but, in my opinion, their ceiling would not consist of classic material - I wouldn't mind kicking me in the face and proving me wrong. :jordan:

    You're first 2 are pretty good candidates. I'm not familiar enough with YG to comment on him. I don't f--- with much of the new school so it's hard for me to think of much more candidates.

    Yeah I might be pushing it with YG but he already has 1 solid album under his belt.

    Pusha T



    Push, my name is my name
    In the kitchen with a cape on, apron
    Tre-eight on,coulda been Trayvon
    But instead I chose Avon
    Powder face like a geisha

    :whew:

    Pushas voice is just so cold, he has bars on top of bars and his delivery is so gritty. His next album gonna be solid.

    My Name is My Name is underrated af.

    But I'm King Push, this king push
    I rap n----- 'bout trap n----s
    I don't sing hooks

    :bigquint:

    I think Chance The Rapper could potentially cook up a classic in the future. I also agree with you about Joey Bada$$ too.

    Kendrick has made two classics m9.
    Ima go with Jay Electronica, when he finally drops that album.
    Maybe Skepta too if he gains exposure in the USA
    Edit: Oh yeah and Flatbush Zombies.
    Also agree with Vince Staples, Pusha and Joey Badass

    So that means he doesn't have one more classic in him ? He can still give us a classic album
