There's not a difference. Drake and Cole are the only light-skinned rappers with any cultural footing. And again, he's had darker counterparts that have been bigger and more dominant.

Meek being treated how he's being treated now has little to do with Drake. Meek has been having legal troubles before he and Drake had beef. Meek has had beef with his own labelmates for that matter.


:mjlol:

Ok nice talking to you.

And this is one of things that brings the overall quality of discussions to all time lows: when people apply real issues like colorism to trivial rap beefs or rap discussions in general to try to justify their own hidden biases and agendas.

He hasn't gotten away with it and colorism has nothing to do with it. He's a celebrity who is popular. He's not going to all of a sudden going to stop selling records because he did something deplorable. I already addressed him being in blackface. So I don't know what you're talking about me deflecting.

How? he says yiddish words on records, wears jewish symbols.

:yeshrug:
He’s gonna acknowledge his Jewishness from time to time (whether it’s a music video, Yiddish, or flaunting the Star of David).

I’m just saying that he lowers the volume on Jew and turns the nikka up 90% of the time.

And I bet you the Sudanese breh persuaded Aubrey to do the black face thing
:mjpls:

Dark skinned nikkas always tryna clown light brights and mulattoes on some
“y’all really ain’t shyt :mjlol:” type deal:wtb:

Drake a nice guy who’s always trying to appease black folk because he wants to live up to their standards and be down.
:mjcry:

Drake has beefed with Chris Brown and Tyga too...

Colorism may have some subliminal thing to do with the audience's reaction but there's no evidence Drake himself is using this against anyone. Even moreso when you consider Meek, Kendrick, and Pusha attacked him first.

Drake is a handsome dude and I love him.
That's how it is. But this is a rap battle and it's not looking good for the boy right now.

Yeah but just a few weeks ago ya'll were making it seem like the end of the world cuz he had ghostwriters. Its like ya'll cant stop busting nuts now that the Blackface shyt took off.

All the negative shyt Jordan has been linked with from not caring about who gets shot over his sneakers to not taking pics with nikkas and guess what? They still love Jordon. My dude...if its that serious the streets will denounce Drake but guess what? They haven't denounced him yet so until that happens your online rants mean diddly squat. The streets will have the final say and they still bumping Drake in The Bronx.
