Joe Budden Says Future NOT A Mega-star, Twitter in Disarray

[BocaRear]

the rap game has no newer era megastars aside from the ones from bygone eras...


Closest in the newer era are Dot, Nicki and Drake and they're still soooooooooooooo far away from megastars.

Drake & Nicki & Kendrick sell out shows in Europe .

Drake & Nicki have undoubtedly transcended hip-hop, Kendrick to a lesser extent.

They're megastars fam. Unless you have a different criteria?

Eh... they're close. Closer than Dot that's for sure.

Someone else had a heirchy of stardom...

I'd say it's:

ICON
MegaStar
Superstar
Star

Drake is on the Cusp of megastar
Nicki isn't as close, and fading actually.

Nicki isn't a household name globally.

Drake is becoming that.

Eminem(especially 1999-2004 )is a megastar. They might be superstars.

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, Kendrick, cole aren't superstars either.

theyre just stars.

future would be closest to superstar, but I feel like youre really grading on a hard curve by putting him up there.

What does Drake have to do that he hasn't done to become an ICON?

Best way I can put it is like this...

Here are a few ICONS:


Whitney Houston
Madonna
Celine Dion
Bob Marley


...now, you tell me if he's ICONIC?

Yes, when you consider what he has done in his era an how he made an entire county matter in urban music

Beyonce, Kanye and Jay z are Icons too btw

Nahhhhhhh... drake isn't ICONIC yet. Not at all. Hasn't made enough of an impact. I'd argue that Ye isn't an icon either. He's on the decline currently, so, it's looking like a wrap for him. Jay... arguably, yes.

Of course Kanye West is an icon. Don't be ridiculous.

Enough of an Impact

We are talking about Drake and Kanye here. WTF are you talking about

Make your case then... I don't think he'll be viewed as iconic when it's all said and done.

Pac is an ICON who was a hip hop/ rap artist. Has Ye done anything remotely close to what Pac did?

Y'all have really loosened up the criteria these days...

What your saying is so insane that it doesn't warrant explanation. You don't think when it's all said and done....how the fukk would you know what will happen when it's all said and done? What we know is what has occurred and in 2017 Kanye West is an icon that is known worldwide.
