Drake in Blackface.Revisiting Wale's comments on colorism

[Spacely Sparkus]

When asked by a fan whether his "expressive passion for the music hurt/prevented you from being mentioned with the rest of your class?," Wale handily agreed. He also mentions that "being a dark skinned (not half white) rapper direct decent from Africa" also hurt him greatly in his career.

Crazy seeing the mental gymnastics nikkas is doing since the Drake pic dropped

I must say some are being lenient too

Isn't Jadakiss Nigerian? I like Wale, but his excuses are garbage. Lotus Flower Bomb popped cause it was hot. His more recent shyt didn't because it was meh.

 

[THE MACHINE]

I don't think that's why he hasn't been thoroughly embraced. He has 2 #1 albums, which puts him in the 99.99999 percentile of rappers that have ever picked up a microphone. The people he wants to be compared to are leaders of their crews/labels
Kendrick TDE
Drake OVO
Cole Dreamville
Jay Rocafella
Ross MMG
Meek although under MMG, he has established Dreamchasers and reps them more than MMG
50 G-Unit
Em Shady
Streets respect bosses a bit more

If he gets his EBM imprint going it could be a good thing for his status.

Styles P is half ghanian.
Jadakiss is 100% AA.
What are you?

a lot of people bought into this when banks said it about cardi and other fair/white women. if that is true then i'm inclined to believe it occurs for males too.

I can imagine the "backlash" would be crazy if this was Meek or Wale doing this

Even media personalities kinda being tame on this
