Kendrick outsold Drake's first week though...

Kendrick is most definitely a megastar.


I agree with everything else.

And honestly it's not fair to compare ANY current day entertainer to MJ. That's just unfair. MJ is the megastar of megastars, the only other entities in his stratosphere are Prince and mayyyyyyybbbeeeee Madonna (Beyoncé will get there as well)


You can't compare damn to more life, more life was a playlist with no physicals available.

You have to compare Damn to more life which did 1.2 first week.

Future is not a megastar.

Adele, Beyonce, Rihanna, Drake, ill even throw Justin Bieber in there. These people sell out arenas! ARENAS!!!!! WORLDWIDE!!! and still sell millions of records. Future is not that

People are confusing people who are hot right now with megastars. Megastars don't fall off... Megastars are still being mobbed years after they drop slbums(Michael Jackson status) How many rappers are still being absolutely mobbed and have people lining up to see them years after dropping albums? Hell, rappers now have to jump into acting careers after they fall off musically just to keep their names out there. Historically megastars in music have done movies during their time that were pretty bad but we didn't care because we knew we would get dope music eventually. We don't have too many rap megastars.

Beyonce is the thing that makes it tricky. Jay Z hasn't sold a fraction of what Eminem sold internationally.

Kanye & 50 both outsold him with less albums in the UK. So how can Jay Z be a global megastar?
The same way Prince never sold what Mike sold. You sound ridiculous. Jay Z is known worldwide cut it out.

the only present-day megastar is drake.

and you can make a case for nicki minaj.

I'm not counting old school acts that peaked in prior decades that are still lingering around.


Future is a mega-star

Future is responsible for Beyonce's biggest hit in recent history(Drunk in Love)


the majority of the world has no clue who produces or writes what.

What you're saying is only true for a handful or rappers over the last 40 years....and Future ain't one of them. He's not a household name, at all.

There are probably 10 household rappers ever. Drake is the only one to emerge in the past 5 years and Wayne was in the cusp for awhile.
