J. Cole: “I Might Not be as Successful as I am Now if I Was Dark Skin”

[Lala718]

i wouldnt disagree with what he said.. shyt is true in some instances

Not in hiphop though, the most ugliest nikkas are successful from this sh*t. Who cares about skintones. J Cole aint even that successful!!!!!!

 

[Lala718]

Yo, who let this dusty hoodrat troll know there's a theColi.com?

Why are these fakkits mad that women are posting. I don't want none of these nikkas. I am just killing time at work. Deal with it!!!!

 

[Izanami]

yall missing the point though

Heads will indirectly expose their race base on some of these replies. Don't even sweat it.



But it does got me thinking on how in the hell did Kendrick Lamar blow up among other things.

 

[AlldayNE]

Why does he have to bring up color and skin tones. Nobody cares if a rapper is dark or light. I would hope. He sounds stupid as fukk and I thought he was more intelligent!!!!!

People who listen to hip hop probably don't, but how much of an artist success now a days is more so about their gimmick/image than it is about their actual talent? How many people actually ignore what artist or doing because "he is p*ssy" or his persona seems fake to them? It wouldn't surprise me at all if skin color played a part. I mean I see it everyday, people actually judge artist off of their image more than the music.

Kendrick actually is dope and attractive, but his complexion aint have sh*t to do with it. Talent and his team is what blew him up

This nikka finna fukk around and disappoint NaS all over again
His looks have nothing to do with his success. On that vibe cover with NaS,he looks like a rapist
Even in workout plan he looked creepy as fukk watching them kids on the playground
I wonder if he been on any picnics lately

 

[killacal]

lol I cant breath

Does Kandrick, Kanye, hell Biggie ring a bell? This n*gga is funny

Those nikkas are a million times more talented, hes saying his mediocre ass would be on the shelf if he didnt have the light thing going for him

 

[Taadow]

Born Skinner?

Not in hip-hop though!! Color and looks plays no factor in this sh*t

 

[No1]

damn new york is really fukking up if he cited that as an example and not some fayetteville shyt.

He lives in NY now.

Yo, I got a G for the first nikka to snatch the exclamation point key off this broad's keyboard...real shyt.

there are a million females out there who are only fans of artist because they are attracted to them and they make catchy wack hooks.. so i disagree

 

[Hawaiian Punch]

These light skin nikkas gettin out line like is '87 again

 

[Robbie3000]

He has a point about Obama though.

 

[Ziggiy]

He has a point but honestly, Hip Hop is one of the few avenues where most of the popular entertainers are darker skinned

Nas
Biggie
Tupac
Jay-Z
Snoop Dogg
50 Cent

The list could go on and on regarding that one. But overall I feel what J.Cole was attempting to articulate
