Well umm, Beyoncés dad even said that her success in the group and outside the group was due to her being light skinned. Just like her, Color plays a VERY big part in drakes success. Jcole is the only other artist with a similar racial background to drake and look how his success has faired for him with him being a woke and insightful black man…the white listeners, who account a huge number of the sales and streams in hip hop, don’t want to hear it. The only other hip hop artist as big as drake is and who broke records like drake did is Eminem. Go figure! I literally had a former white friend tell me that he didn’t listen to Kendrick or Jcole because he couldn’t relate to the messages of pro-blackness in their music, so Umm yeah…being a light skinned geeky half black, half white boy from Toronto is definitely helping drake just as it did beyonce in her earlier years.
