Kanye West?
No homo, but he forgot to add "ugly"..... U can see kanye pulling hoes of all shades....Kendrick is not in the Wale realm of ugliness (again no homo) although he is short and dark.

It's not eem the dark part cuz if u're dark with desired features u're good :ehh: but Wale just has the trifecta and that's a lot to overcome.....:yeshrug: that's just the game.

Because he's not mixed or light skinned...

Obama, Drake and J. Coles biggest appeal is they helped legitimize people with c00ns for parents...

I'm just being honest breh :stopitslime: I'm not seeking your approval. Hoes ain't trying to get on dude with a pulled back LeBron hairline. :manny:

While being dark doesn't help, it's not necessary to be a lighter-complected negroe in order to gain fame....lightskin with bad features get u NOWHERE.


PROOF BELOW
1. Hoes don't feel him
2. Dark breh who blew up

I'm not talking outta my ass here.
My girl said because he's too ugly for the type of music he makes. :yeshrug:.

Big Sean? :jbhmm:

.....also a plant that got push and force with hoptel lyrics and still can't match the Manufactured hype they gave him when you compare to his peers


He got push after the record blew organically, interscope wasn't supporting him like that. Ask 50


Its a concept album with live instrumentation. He took a risk and it paid off...


Who are these non-plant rappers ?

I'm not exactly sure why he's not more popular. He's the nicest of is class to me.

I enjoy his music a lot. I guess his music doesn't really have that "zing" that would make casual or non hip hop fans latch onto his music.

I hate to say it but it's because he's dark skinned and short.

and Weezy is what? :usure:

I hate to come off as trying to move the goal post but Wale isn't as ignant as Lil Wayne and doesn't promote genocide.

Just like chief keef

What about Kendrick. He's dark skinned and short

Kanye West?

Big Sean? :jbhmm:

It's because he's good, but not outstanding. He's a diva on social media in spite of having decent (not outstanding music).

...but the most noticeable difference between him and his peers is that he doesn't really have a big crossover co-sign & backing.

Kendrick has Dre.
Drake has Wayne.
Big Sean has Kanye.
Keef had Kanye.
Cudi had Kanye.
Cole had Jay-Z.
To some degree, Wiz has Snoop.


Wale has Ross...and while Ross is popular, he's not crossover popular.

His co-sign works more for Meek than it does for Wale.
