Is this something we’re gonna pin on the whole race though or just the individuals with self esteem problems who we don’t know if they recognize the bias or not
I think this is a more common thing in young people than adults

Ok and? Face the facts they labeled Meg a criminal and labeled Ice Spice a queen. Why is that? Because she’s white passing

Saying Ice Spice is only popular because she’s lightskin is crazy when Megan Thee Stallion exists.
If you wanna say she’s only popular because she’s attractive that’s a different discussion.
It’s not like Ice Spice is the only female rapper to blow up in the past 10 years, we’ve seen plenty of darkskin female rappers experience success in recent years
Even that would be a stretch imo. Ice Spice' attractiveness definitely played a part into her success but it's not the only reason for her success. There are plenty of attractive females on this planet but this girl was able to land multiple billboard top 10 hits. Clearly her music connects to people out there
Jun 29, 2023·1 replySlutbearDrake's racial ambiguity does not play a huge part in his success
It definately does. Not to say Drake make terrible music or anything but it's very obvious at times when Drake is cosplaying a nigga with a rough past as opposed to how he actually grew up.
I mean he used to say nigga with a hard ER.

It could very well be self esteem problems but it’s prevalent all throughout the United States. No matter what state you in the light skin girls are sought after so it’s a deep rooted problem within society.

Smacked VoodooAnd it each took how long for them to pop off? Ice Spice shows up and blows up in a year. All those artists you mentioned been making music for like 4-5 years prior to them blowing up.
Turn Ice Spice darkskin real quick. Do you think she would have that same amount of rapid success?
Ice Spice was making music for a few years before she blew up. Just cause you found out about her when she blew up doesn't mean she wasn't grinding behind the scenes

We're talking about music success though. Latto is lightskin, has a fat ass, and got a bunch of industry push and big features. Yet she was outsold by Glorilla who had no features and less songs. Attractiveness isn't a big part in success

It definitely has. And he plays into it as well.
The nigga literally made a song with Romeo Santos (and it's a slapper) come on man

Then he gotta verse where he randomly breaks into Arabic

And it won't be long until he goes full afrobeat too
Drake knows exactly what he's doing with his racial ambiguity. He uses it to break into the international music world.
Nah you gassing bro. If you seriously think Drake's racial ambiguity plays a HUGE part in his success, you are out of your mind

I've been noticing an uptick of people speaking on colorism in the music industry, particularly twitter. I see it mostly attributed to female artists, rather then male artists. There are tons of tweets which say that Ice Spice benefits heavily from colorism and is only popular because of it while taking the place of other talented darker skinned artists.
https://twitter.com/hoedorokiii/status/1673337428646436865https://twitter.com/angryblkhoemo/status/1668774083369263105I don't believe this to be the case but I'd like to hear the opinions of others. There are many darker skinned artists that get popping and light skinned artists that never get popping. S*** SZA has had one of the biggest albums lately. I think colorism is just a non-factor in an artist's success these days. Do yall think that colorism truly benefits artists these days? Give examples if you can
Am I the only one that thinks the tweet in OP is racist asf?
girl in the tweet is nothing like ice spice except that they are both black and make music - Jun 29, 2023·1 replySlutbear
