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

[BK The Great]

yep

Jay-Z can stop an airport

honestly 50 Cent is a step below Jay-Z and above Future in terms of being a megastar. Future can walk safetly down the street. Future is very popular but he is almost like TI. Remember that video of TIP getting gas and dude safely walking up and taking a pic. Thats how it is with famous people. You not gonna catch Jay-Z getting gas.

I think Jay got more internationally known later in his career, I'd say around the time The Black Album dropped

 

[Sauce Dab]

He's definitely a superstar but I've a few comments in here say Cole was a mega star :RussellMartBrook:

 

[Unknown Poster]

Most these people don't even know what they like..until somebody tell them ..dikkriding one artist to the another..let's revisit this question in 5 years

Repped for the bolded.

 

[Kilgore Trout]

The only superstars in rap are Hov, Drake, and Eminem.

Ye is a bigger celeb than hov or em

 

[A Tribe Called Quest ™]

yep

How big do you think guys like TI and Luda were in their primes ?

 

[JayBaldacci]

.

history alone.

He is the closest active artist to Notorious BIG.

That doesn't make him a megastar.

 

[Piff Perkins]

Ye is a bigger celeb than hov or em

I forgot about him, it's def those four tho.

 

[Ziggiy]

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

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)

 

[spliz]

He didn't write it for her

He made a song and she jacked it and remade it

Ok? It still don't make a difference. Lol

MJ was the most famous entertainer to ever walk this earth and it's not even close.

like someone else said, anyone who thinks future is a superstar is probably too young to remember the Em/50 era.

Nah I'm 30

There's a reason why Em is referred to as "the great white hype"

50 just rode his coattails at the time

 

[BelowTheMasonDixon]

in 2017 tho?

people will be like "oh thats LL" but I dont think he would stop an airport. Maybe in 09 and before that but now...no....almost like Ice T status.

You mean Ice-T who STARS on one of the biggest shows in America Law and Order SVU Ice T. Geico Lemonade commercial Ice-T? Fairly certain more people know ICE-T than Future

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Had no issue with what Joe said at all

You don't know what your talking about

He ain't no fukking superstar PERIOD. Nelly in his PRIME was a Superstar. EM, 50 Cent. Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg, etc... .shyt PRIME Busta Rhymes is bigger than Future ever was.
