If you woulda asked me from 05-07 which of the up and comers was most likely to blow up, I woulda said Stack. You could argue that Papoose, Saigon, Joell Ortiz, Cory Gunz, and Ransom were all better. But none of them had the intangibles or the it factor that Stack had. I know it’s a very popular thing to say, but I believe it.
And it’s not like I’m one of those people that believes that he woulda been a star. I don’t believe that at all.
Not saying that he woulda been on the level of a Jay, Nas, Em, Wayne, or Drake
Hell, I don’t even think he woulda been on the level of a Fab, Jeezy, Ross, Luda, T.I. or Game.
But do I think he woulda been on the level of a Kendrick, J. Cole, Wale, Lupe, Banks, Meek, 2 Chainz, Wiz Khalifa, or B.O.B.? Absolutely. That’s not far-fetched at all to think he coulda been like that.
At worst I think he’d at least be on the level of a French Montana, A$AP Rocky, Ace Hood, Future, Juicy J, Gucci, Waka, Chief Keef, Tyler The Creator, or Childish Gambino. Which is still nothing to sneeze at.
