A megastar? Not even close. Superstar. Not sure. Id call him a star.
What makes a Megastar or SuperStar then

Joe said transcending hip hop 

Not being able to go out in public without being noticed

Rich Homie Quan is more of a star,  

Future is a Super Star, I'm sure he can go anywhere and someone would say "Gucci Flip Flops" "Mask on, Mask off" 

Childish Gambino I would say he's a Megastar [His film roles, His comedy, His raps]

Migos I say are Super Stars.

2 Chainz, Super Star.

Rich homie quan is not a star. He has no presence. I wouldn't call Future a superstar because I don't think he has a huge presence outside of the states.

A megastar is Drake. Beyonce. Jay Z.

I think it's pretty safe to call Future a "Superstar" in rap.

Drake is the only CURRENT "mega star". Cole, Future and Kendrick sit on the tier below as far as status, as "superstars".
 
Future barely going gold. Maybe it's just me, but I dont see him as a superstar.
 
Future aint in the same box as Kendrick/Cole. If they're superstars...you're going to have to find a different label for Future.

-Ds2 Went Platinum
-EVOL Gold
-He currently has the #6 song in the country
-The "Future" album is already gold...and is on its way to platinum. I think it's at 800k (it dropped in late February)
HNDRXX is Gold I believe (it dropped in march...a week after FUTURE)

Mask off been in the top 5-10 for like 2 months now. If that ain't star status...idk what is.

He is star status. Not superstar. I didn't know hr was selling like that but still.
 
Kendrick/Cole are def not in the same category as future.. There actually closer to Drake than they are to Future.

Tier 1
Drake/Kendrick/Cole/Ye

Tier 2
Future/Migos/Travis Scott/A$AP Rocky/2 Chain/Chance
 
Ya'll _'s must be thinking about Future from 2014.

Nah. I just dont think he's in Kendricks or Cole's lane.

Tier 2
Future/Migos/Travis Scott/A$AP Rocky/2 Chain/Chance

I can side with this somewhat. However, I think Drake and Ye transcend the list. Chance is either superstar status or will soon be there.

Cole and Kendrick ain't with Drake, Drake is a pop act. I don't even group him with other rappers.




Ya'll _'s must be thinking about Future from 2014.

Ya'll are using sales as a measuring stick.

Every Cole/Kendrick album has gone platinum. Future has one. 


How are they in the same bracket? 


Not just sales. Sales are part of it but popularity in general. Hit's, sales, popularity, fan base, mainstream looks. Future has checked all those boxes since DS2.
