RIght,and then i think he said J Cole was in that superstar range or i may have misheard that:dahell:.

Future i will say hands down is a bigger star than J Cole,i dont give a damn what the sales say.

then you got Joey Badass talking about stars can be groomed,and then mentioning Playboi Cartie..

this new generation of "stars" are manufactured,which is the very reason they not true superstars to me.

true stars are born,those are the ones that just stand out on every track they own,every video they in,when they talk you listen.....most these rappers dont fit the criteria and are stars based on hype through marketing, and false socia media narratives.


matter of fact any nikka who wasnt hot in they own city before they got on,should damn near be disqualified as being a true star.

If you take sales out of the convo then you are just stating your opinion breh. Sales = Demand in any business ever lol.

If Future won't be recognized in Kansas, Kendrick Lamar damn sure wouldn't be either :dahell:

Joe is fukking retarded and I'm surpised so many people validate his opinion. His whole "superstar" spiel that he made up in head should be immediately discarded.

i dont take it completely out of the convo,but you cant take everything else out either...you gotta factor in image,visibility,how recognziable and known you are among all demographics.

I look at sales and I just see nikkas like J Cole and KEndrick are just smart when it comes to tapping into ignored demographics who ACTUALLY still purchase music....they appeal to older audiences,older black males,more mature females,black women in general,and rap nerds.


That doesnt make J Cole more recognizable than Future,even people who hate Future know Future breh:laff:

Future has waaaaaaay more hits than god damn J Cole and I'm sure he has more youtube views than J Cole.

Somebody who has as many hits as Future,just naturally would be a bigger star than god damn J Cole:martin:.....the sales not matching just means Future needs to do some work in appealing to audiences that purchase albums,or else he'll have to continue to have big sales numbers based on streams.

I'd argue Migos probaly bigger stars than J Cole at this point.

Joey was awesome today.

Ak still cutting nikkas off mid-sentence and is still talking about Weeknd and Frank Ocean.

While he may not be a MEGA star, Joe trip'n talking about Future aint a superstar. His ear clearly isn't to the streets. People outside of the south think Future just started rapping when "Commas" came out smh.

im going to take it when he says Kansas,he just means white middle america who doesnt listent to rap.....first off not all of Kansas is like what is shown on SUperman:mjlol:.....but yeah as far as transcending hiphop,outside of Drake i wouldnt say any of these new nikkas out of the current generation do....but Drakes the only one who navigates as a non hiphop artist and can exist as a safe pop star:mjpls:...at least among anybody else near his tier.

but overall white people in america are in tune with hiphop unless they old as shyt....and if they old as shyt i dont see none of these new nikkas being on they radar....not even most old nikkas would be on they radar.
