[BrothaZay]

jay-z the third highest selling rapper ever behind eminem and tupac

Lol. With more albums.

There was never a year where jay z was the hottest rapper in the game.

98 is arguable. Him or X.

X by far

 

[cartierhoe]

Idk what Future is besides a n***a, honestly

What??

 

[JayBaldacci]

X by far

X dropped 2 big albums, but jay sold more individually I think.

Megastar is an aribtrary term and all of you are fukking retarded to follow Joe's logic.


"No no no, he's not a superdupermegastar!"

 

[Concerning VIolence]

Megastar
Superstar
Star

There's the 3 levels IMO.

Dudes that basically transcend rap usually enter megastardom(or superstardom if the visible reach isn't quite there yet). Future hasn't transcended rap IMO. He's got all the tools though to do so, so if he gets another song as successful for him as Mask Off, that might just be what's needed for him to hit that level.

Superstar is even high praise but there's a good argument for him there.

Megastar tho? lol

And who made up these arbitrary levels?

 

[1/2 Man 1/2 Hennessy]

Future is prolific and one of the biggest names in rap but megastar means complete mainstream dominance which he does not. Cacs barely know of him like that

 

[straightcash]

Why are we basing stardom on collaberations with pop artist? Y'all stay putting cacs on pedastools

A megastar has cross-over appeal and popularity. Dude is huge in hip hop, but a footnote outside of it. We're just saying it as it is, man. People in Africa prob don't even know him like that.

 

[Ardamus]

Slaughtermouse is right

 

[Sauce Dab]

I agree. I know Future got white fans, but they hiphop fans. But Future hasn't transcended borders on the level of Snoop for sure, nor is he mainstream even on Khaled's level. Nor have we seen pop artists interested in collaborating with like you see with Wiz.

Future's fanbase might be HUGE but its very restricted (niche). You can't be a megastar if that's the case, even if you constantly get views. Those are still niche views/buys.

Who are all the pop artists wiz has worked with?

 

[Randy Sandchild]

Read OP and that's it Donny bad if this was already covered but has future been asked about this or commented? Wouldn't be surprised if even he said he's not a megastar.

And smh, it's not like joe said he's a bum, just said he's not a mega star. Takes time to be a mega star man. Dude is still a million times richer than everyone on this forum

 

[Zak Bible]

joe is right
only megastars in hip hop right now are drake, jay-z and kanye. 50 and puff used to be megastars

i don't even think kendrick is there yet, hes a superstar like j cole. future is a superstar as well

Future is arguably better than all them yet not considered a megastar?

Stop playin.

He's this generations goat

 

[Sauce Dab]

Gotta say I like this thread even tho I don't agree with most of it (he's easily a superstar) because it's actual music discussion for the most part and not that lipstick BS
