J.Cole: "I might not be as Successful as I am now if i was dark skin"

[Snitchin Splatter]

Whether some of y'all like it or not, we been in the era of the light skin man since The Most Powerful Man in The World became one back in 2008

J-Cole just stirring up Black on Black self-hate to promote his album, I'm not mad at a light skin nikka doin his thang

Jermaine ain't built for dark-skinnedness. He's just now coming to terms with his fukked up grill, being a darkie would haunt him for life.

 

[KinksandCoils]

These days white people shyt on dark skin and light skin blacks. They don't seem to care about the difference it's black people that care the most.

 

[GoldenGlove]

Mixed kids always have an interesting take on shyt that most of us don't think twice about.

Honestly, this is a kind of comment that makes me scratch my head as to why he even thinks that. I'll just chalk it up to him being a confused mixed person. There are a lot of those out there.

 

[Spoonz]

in Rap, dark skin nikkaz do fine. I guess you could say lighter skin dudes like Drake and others seem safer but that's about it.

 

[DrX]

fukk outta here......so light skin rappers got it made?

lil wayne, keef, ye, kendrick are all doing well

 

[DaddyFresh]

No one said Dark skin dudes cant make it.
But its easier for light skin dudes.
Jcole outsold Kanye and Ross last album. But he aint nowhere near as talented as Rick Ross.
He more on the Meek and Wale level.

he's probably talking about the industry itself...and just having preference at his label etc...probably has less avenues to go through than the average rapper

 

[Chris.B]

He is telling the truth no one likes darkie dark...I'm a prime example

Most of these black militants are hypocrites

Give them a light skin and dark skinned chick...lets not pretend they will let the darkie darkie hit the road.

Bottom line is lightskinned looks better.

It's something I learned to embrace and live with.

Beyonce >Kelly Rowland

 

[HoloGraphic]

Is it wrong my standards for dark skinned women are higher than my standards for light skinned women?

Skin tone is literally icing on the cake.
Her body and face, voice, personality >>>>>>>>skin, race.

The nikka got teeth like he been chewing various rocks, and he worried about being light-skin.

What does this even have to do with the thread?

Same way people don't like pale white skin.

People prefer the color that's somewhere in the middle. Not too dark or too white. That's why white people tan.
