The fukk is he saying
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

Nas

obama's a cacHe has a point about Obama though.
J. Cole is ugly but Drake is cute n/h
They both are not cute to me
Kendrick looks >>>>>>> Drake and J cole
Kanye West is dark skinned and is the biggest rapper on earth right now....
Lil Wayne is dark skinned and is the only rapper right now capable of pushing a million units in a week...
It's not about light or dark skin when it comes to Hip Hop mainstream. It's about marketability and how you build up a fanbase. Everything else Cole said was almost 100% on point but he shouldn't have made the light/dark correlation when it came to arguing his point of his own success

Lil Wayne said the light skin comment to Drake...
i dunno, when you really look at successful blacks its not a lights skin thing...its various factors...
President Obama is African whose player dad went at Harvard, and Presidents mom was white trash...lets call it what is was, and Obama made that out of something...If Obama was a stereoyptical american mixed blacks who just have been a president maybe a senator/governor, because even american blacks before Obama did not see how they themselves being elected as president.
As skin tone...Jay Z is a fav rapper...and kinda noticed his is kinda light, but not as light as beyonce...but Jay rap is at another level and thus his fans. Kanye West is dark skins has 9,700,000+ followers on twitter. Lil Wayne dark skin got 12,900,000+ followers on twitter. Notorious BIG dark skin. All successful rappers.
The irony of it all is there were two people, 1 dark and 1 light, who came together to create the mixed child. The child still has "dark" blood.
Also Wale is dark and has 3,000,000 followers. J. Cole has around 4,300,000+ followers. On the flip side white rapper MGK who was in the freshman xxl 2010 list has 800,000 followers on twitter. Light red skin rapper Nipsey Hussle on the 2010 freshman xxl list has 422,000 followers on twitter. "dark" big seans has 4,500,000 followers on twitter. "dark" wiz khalifa has 11,100,000+ followers on twiter.
I have seen the color card being played, but for the most part core hip-hop fans are not racist.
Sadly there might be some help with crossover, but it also comes down to talent, timing, connections, media...
Sometimes the colorism and racism creates more issues.

Nas is light skin
biggie,50 and pac had to get shot to get the fame they got now.
hov is lockd in with the top white nikkas so he put in his work on shytn on black ppl. Its the only way. U either gotta rock with them & shyt on us or lead us down the wrong path with your music. Both the same to me. But u not finna be no famous nikka without obeying them.
and yes mafukkas use light skin dark skin favoritism just to separate us. But nikkas too dumb to see that.

lets just call it what it is, there is the light skin pass, which really has no substance to it...and quite frankly the mix does not come out right...
now there are some mixed people who look good...
but just because some is mixed does not mean they are good looking
I agree, Drake and Cole might be lighter and mixed but they are not attractive to me!!!
