Mathew Knowles: Only Light Skinned Women Like Beyonce Hit the Charts

Whitney Houston was arguably more successful than Beyonce, and she wasn't light skinned.

They were talking about this on Dead End Hip Hop (the podcast) and they brought up a good point. Two actually. Most of the prolific singer have been dark-skin not light-skin. And Tinashe is out here struggling.

It seems to be true that the lighter you are the most chances and industry backing you get. But the singers who actually make it tend to be dark-skin.

It's a terrible looks for Beyonce to let her dad go on vlad tv.

Damn. He’s right. Interested in hearing more from him, but I hate supporting Vlad. Maybe I’ll but his book.
