What are some verses/songs you think'll be considered classic in the next 10-20 years?

Classic verses are just known automatically. NY State of Mind, 99 Problems, among others are recited and known by pretty much every hip-hop head in the universe. My question being, think 10-20 years into the future what songs/verses do you think'll be considered classic just as NY State of Mind or alot of other songs are now. I say songs like Gorgeous by Kanye West will be in the upper echelon of hip-hop alumni because it's a highly appreciated song but just hasnt been given that "legendary" lable yet.

My List Is...

Gorgeous by Kanye West

mAAd city by Kendrick Lamar

Yonkers by Tyler the Creator

Lord Knows by Drake

Who Dat by J. Cole

What are your suggestions/thoughts?

Please star so others can see this :)

    A good one for sure. Kanye West, the way he brings the listener into his world where he admits he's an asshole. He tells a story, MBDF will become a very relevent album in the future. Especially since today people think he is a jerk. However lyrically the song Gorgeous will really help define our age in the next 20 years fo who

    Penitentiary chances, the devil dances

    And eventually answers to the call of Autumn

    All of them fallin’ for the love of ballin’

    Got caught with 30 rocks, the cop look like Alec Baldwin

    Inter century anthems based off inner city tantrums

    Based off the way we was branded

    Face it, Jerome get more time than Brandon

    And at the airport they check all through my bag

    And tell me that it’s random

    But we stay winning, this week has been a bad massage

    I need a happy ending and a new beginning

    And a new fitted, and some job opportunities that's lucrative

    This the real world, homie, school finished

    They done stole your dreams, you dunno who did it

    I treat the cash the way the government treats AIDS

    I won’t be satisfied til all my ****** get it, get it?
