Yeah darkskin is mad in right now, Wale just crying like always which is funny because that’s why a lot of people don’t like him. He’s always complaining or *****ing about not being bigger.

B****** of all races love darkskin men though.
The only people that have disdain for darkskin males are white men.
Wale had/has (idk anymore) a lane when he first came in, had a distinct DC sound...he’s one of those cases where his antics eclipsed his music
If we can agree that the list of 9 rappers below all make "similar" music, is it just coincidence that all the lightskin guys are the most popular and "successful"?
Not to mention the two brownskin dudes come from family trees that are hip hop royalty.(Dre and Jay-Z)
Not even the slightest bit of colorism though huh?
Lightskin:
Drake
Cole
Chance
Logic
Brownskin:
Kendrick Lamar
Big Sean
Darkskin:
Wale
Big Krit
Joey Badass
Not saying thats the only thing that happened in these folks careers, but it is an element imo. Wale, is pretty flawed tho... so he couldnt be the face at all
^Give me more names. Just recent rappers... within the last 5-10 years. This current era...not over history.
I wanted to include and ASAP Rocky but I dont think he makes similar music and he cant "rap" lol
If you dark and you rapping bout gangsta this drug that, party party party... the label and media masses will eat you up. Are some of yall blind to that? Complexion does not matter when your subject matter is for mass consumption and/or detriment of black people. The popping darkskin guys...whats their content? Future, Migos, Travis Scott, 21... Lil whoever...same content, all poppin. It is what it is.
Show me where I'm wrong.

Krit first mistake was making “country ****” a single
That made so many ppl write him off instantly...
Some of y’all dudes are both missing the point and tryna downplay colorism like it’s not a legitimate thing
It is but to have wale success and be crying about colorism it’s just like bruh...nobody wants to hear it.

I don't think your skin color can stop you from success as a rapper, but it helps for sure.
Super, Sean, Kendrick, Peak Lil Wayne, Kanye (Yikes), Tory Lanez, Bryson Tiller, etc. all of the aforementioned are not light skinned at all.
That's pretty lazy by Wale to say that and it excludes other potential factors like his music not being as good of a Drake, him being fat now, etc.
If wale was a light skin good hair ***** he probably would sell more with those simp anthems. Music catering to the ladies+being eye candy to the ladies=success. I ain’t never seen a *** make wale her mcm.
J Cole and Drake wouldn’t be as big if they were dark skin.
Wale’s problem is more about his personality and image than color, if he acted different and was light, then sure.
Your complexion can help or hurt but Wale got bigger issues with selling music than his complexion
