You're acting like that's a small "bubble" tho.
****** kill me with this "internet" **** as if it's still 2004. We live in a digital era. Social media is a major part of being an artist right now.
What are these other "bubbles" besides social media that we can use to gauge these types of things?

You still reachin bro?
I didn't start listening to Future last week and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that Drake and Future are the hottest out right now.
People talkin about Meek in regard to everything BUT music.
Wake up bro, and stop tryin to be a comedian.

he still sold more out the gate then future. So if people are talking about him for things besides music...clearly it just helped the actual distribution of his music...no?

Just being on some 100 **** and I'm probably one of the biggest future fans here he isn't 1b. He's not bigger than Cole or Kendrick for most of these fans he's the flavor of the month and they won't be around next year.

I mean, what would Drake gain for goin in with Push?
He only responding to Meek, cuz Meek is actually a somebody.
Ain't nobody checkin for Pusha.
Speaking of Pusha, his brother already exposed them, but I don't see yall hating on him.

Yall focus to much on record sales.
It's 2015....that **** dont mean nothing no more.
I'm basing my opinion off what I see, and from what I see, Future is the hottest out right now.
Drake is right there with him.
And it's about the music.
The only reason people are even still talkin about Meek is because he turned into a sucka via social media.
Has little to do with his music.

We can argue about this shut all day.
The fact is...meek mill is a very popular artist in today's rap game. Out of the millions of ****** rapping in the world...meek has made it to a level where most would kill to be at. That isn't easy to do. His popularity is also rising and this "beef" can only elevate him higher.
I see this as him gunning for the "top spot" which is a strategy we've seen before in rap. My original point...I wouldn't be surprised if this is beef isn't 100% organic. The attention can't really hurt either artist and we all know all publicity is good publicity in today's current pop culture. They've seized everyone's attention with this.

Pretty sure Drake making hits is what helped Drake.
The Wayne cosign happened after he was already on the cusp of blowing up, it definitely helped but I don't think the two situations are comparable.
Meek still doesn't really have any big records besides the intro from his first album. I was out this weekend and they played RICO but only Drake verse which is hilarious when you think about it.
He definitely did numbers with his album but it was more the combination of him getting locked up and the relationship with Nicki that propelled it more than the actual music.
Whenever I'm out I don't really hear Meeks album except for RICO. I like the album still but the way he's gone about things since he dropped is very corny, he sold 200k the first week but who's even talking about his album anymore? It's this ****.

Future isn't more popular than Kendrick/Cole is what people are saying. Or kanye for that matter. I listen to future more than any of those guys but they have bigger fan bases than future. Most dudes riding with future was on the 2 chains wagon a year ago and will be on a different one after this hype dies down.
And maybe because its hip hop? U can ignore the local dudes and new dudes but push is a pretty well known artist and others respect his ability. Hell even Aubrey is a fan so why wouldn't he respond?

I don't know about Meek being more popular than Kendrick or Cole.
But this is definitely benefiting both artists. Meek benefiting from being the first artist worthy of a response from Drake (so now perception is going to be that he's on his level) and Drake benefiting because this finally gives him a chance to flex his lyrical muscle.
Stranger things have happened than for these ****** to be on IG dapped up, skinning and grinning in a few weeks. But they not making no direct money from it and they don't got no albums coming out no time soon so who knows. But this is definitely the hottest either of them have been.

So why didn't he respond to Kendrick...............?
Dudes never stop with the excuses for this dude,
he ducked Push because he's not a "somebody"
it's because he didn't want that work.

Jay who?
Nobody gives a **** about Jay-Z in 2015.
In order of most to least popping as of July 2015.
Drake
Future
Meek
Kendrick
Cole
Overall, Meek and Future not over Cole in popularity but they are the most recent on people's minds right now.

any rapper on a mainstream level with a new album out should be the hottest at the moment
meek hasnt had a album out in 3 years after being rookie of the year so im sure most of those album sales are from his fans anxious to hear new music and barbz

Look at the list of artists going gold. It's not very long.
