Who is the lowest A-List celebrity?

[Ziggiy]

All that and his highest charting single was fukking "I can" at #12 in 2003 "

He doesn't have the mainstream hits to be A list

And yet his highest charting ALBUM is number 1.

Nas outsold Jay-Z's first week in 1999

Nas outsold Jeezy's first week in 2006

Nas outsold Future, Frank Ocean, 2 Chainz, Wiz Khalifa, Caclemore and Ryan Lewis first week in 2012

Come again

Odd comparison.

I bet even Common is more known than Nas to the average person due to being in mainstream movies and not Belly

it has to be more than straight recognizability though, right? nas and ddl are acclaimed in their own fields. i'd argue that nas has a much greater reach across the mainstream than daylewis. so if ddl is a-list, i'd say nas is too

anyways, i didn't mean for this to become another nas thread.

i'm just wondering where the bar for a-list is set in terms of hollywood.

are kevin james and khloe kardashian a-listers?

A-list
ˈālist/
noun
noun: A-list; noun: B-list
a real or imaginary list of the most (or second-most) celebrated or sought-after individuals, especially in show business.



celebrated and sought after.... popularity has zero to do with it.. A list means you top of the fukking game in skill and everyone wants you apart of whatever they doing

sought after = popularity

sought after = popularity

i knowing who someone is by face and seeking them for their skillset are two totally different things breh


one does not equal the other
