He’s is wrong. If Drake is hated on for being light skinned why don’t Cole, TI, etc get the same treatment?
The colorism s*** doesn’t really exist for men in hip hop
I feel like most people don’t even know Cole is half white
Also Wayne been known to be insecure about his skin color so he’s just projecting
lie

The colorism s*** doesn’t really exist for men in hip hop
because Cole and T.I. fit the traditional masculine archetype of darker skinned rappers lol
it’s a stereotype that light skinned men are soft, emotional and just generally feminine, Drake basing his music off of being introspective and outright open with his feelings plays into that stereotype with his skin color
lie
He said it. Also said his first daughter would be the only dark skinned child he would have
He’s right
I’ve always found it interesting how both Drake and J. Cole are mixed black men with black fathers and white mothers, but only Drake has gotten the criticism and reputation of being a “lightskin / half-white” rapper by the hip-hop community
One was raised an upperclass area in Toronto and was on Degrassi meanwhile Cole is from a working poor area in North Carolina ..
But I will say Tory Lanez and Drake both have a very similar upbringing yet Drake is only criticized for it

thank you.

So then you admit color really has nothing to do with it. It’s about how he acts.

This doesn’t really apply because Logic is from Maryland and was the child of two d***/alcohol-addicted parents and even he gets the mixed rapper treatment. Nobody ever acknowledges or recognizes J. Cole as a mixed race rapper
So then you admit color really has nothing to do with it. It’s about how he acts.
if the stereotype is tethered to his skin, and he acts in accordance to the stereotype that is owed to his skin color, i don’t see how that has nothing to do with colorism
im not good at logic but that doesn’t really seem to make sense to me

Good example of this is all those "drake the type of nigga" jokes
"That said, Cole is successful and doesn't get hate at all"
Saying this on ktt is crazy
Ktt ain't the hip hip community. Ktt's opinions on Cole don't mean s***.

Why doesn’t trippie red get that type of hate. Like I could really list off rappers for days lol.

Ain’t nobody dedicating time to think about Trippie Redd man

If this was the case, they wouldn't make jokes on Wale lol
Also a big reason behind the “Drake is not hip-hop / Drake is not a rapper” criticism is because of the fact that he’s a lightskinned mixed-race man
He said it. Also said his first daughter would be the only dark skinned child he would have
thats not insecure...
hell Cole has ADMITTED his light skin gives him an advantage in interviews lololol
this just Lil Wayne sticking up for his boy. nothing more nothing less. Of course he gon' be bias, but that aint to say he's right at all.
thats not insecure...
No I’m saying he admitted to being j secure about it on top of saying that about his kid lol
Good example of this is all those "drake the type of nigga" jokes
literally a well known joke in the black community lol
Drake isn’t really hated for being light skinned not gonna lie. The only colorism that exists in hip hop is towards dark skinned women
You remember Charlemagne making light skin bi racial jokes against drake on the radio for years, called him a pretty albino girl

Interviews is different than like internet hate. But I think most of the hate is because Drakes success.

You remember jokes being made about Charlemagne being dark skin for those years too?

Bro it’s the black community. Niggas get clowned for everything. Kodak got clowned for his appearance too, sexy red, etc

Nah niggas were ripping into cole for that
"Hardest s*** out of the south since slavery" line the same way they did the "whips and chains you American slave" drake line
