[...] Urban Daily is proud to put you on to their schwag before you need a late pass (see: Drake). If you don’t know, now you [...]

i Agree With
COMETOMAMA85 nd hunnibunz ur totally wrong…DRAkE iS FiNE! tHANk U b00! lol..

lELEl()VE

Light skin was never “out”. Colorism, especially in the African-American culture needs to stop. The concept of one’s skin tone being fashionable or unfashionable is absurd, moronic, and disgustingly childish. Sadly, it seems that since Obama has become President we’ve become more color struck than ever.

Peace,
Theo

if a chick say she dont like me cause im not atractive or we dont connect thats cool but i dont like u because u light
or because u dark thats racist
an ignorant

Ive been a drake for a long time… he played jimmy on degrassi… and he was sexy then even in a wheel chair and he can certainly still get it now! dont hate

lightskin is back?….haha neva went out

lol shut up no he’s not

When was light skin out?..when is any skin color not “in”.. whoever wrote this article is an idiot.

light skin was never out for me… i have always been highly attracted to light skin me… just my personal preference :-)

s**t lightskin was never out for me…i’ve always love lightskin men thats just my preference but drake is doing his thing right now….

What??? I’ve always liked light skinned guys. when did they go out- I didn’t get that memo lol

this article is so wack..who gives a rats ass what color he is..I’m so sick of race being implied with a person and what they do..get over it! Yall stories are pretty damn lame

When did light skin go out? It never did so drake should shut up looking like the guy in the 35 gum commercial

light skined bros was out back in the late 80′s / early 90′s. there you had people like denzel,morris chestnut,tyrees.(dark brothas STAND UP)…BUT MY BOY DRAKE DOIN HIS THANG…FA SHO

You guys people need to stop with the skin tone bring back/debate,Enough

light skin men has always been here and i love them… the only reason y they havent been out for everyone cuz everyon is worried bout these dark skin men in hollywood dating white women… sorry but i had to say its… but once again light skin men has always been here and they neva went outta style with me…

I dont give a flying rats behind about racial tones. I never knew light skinned aferican americans went “out of style” *rolls eyes* but if its being “brought back” lawd knows Drake hasn’t brought anything back! Drake isnt that great.

he is soooooo HOT!!! i LOVE drake!!!!

thanks Drake..haha.

he is soooooo HOT!!! i LOVE drake!!!! light skin never went out for me. that’s the only type of men i date. my childs father is light skinned.

wow sum of the comments…my my how sum forget that a swirl happend to make that light skinned person!! i dont really condone or encourage..u know to each’s own…but thats the usual ingredient for light skinned -ness…but i love guys of all color long as the look is right…..all spectrums –light to dark chocolate….yum….

I HEARD ALOT OF DRAKE’S MUSIC. FOR THOSE WHO DONT KNOW, IF YOU KNOW ABOUT A SHOW CALLED “DEGRASSI:THE NEXT GENERATION” U KNOW ABOUT DRAKE. DRAKE IZ A REAL TALENTED DUDE. NIGGAS HATIN CUZ HE AINT FROM HERE, HE’S FROM TORONTO CANADA, WHERE DEGRASSI:THE NEXT GENERATION TOOK PLACE.

i like white and asian does that count?

who ever said light skin was gone duh !!!

its cool to say someone’s face look good and all that but skin colour don’t determine that. So for someone to say their preference is light skin or dark skin all that tells me is they find the other to be less attractive and just over colour? Someone who may like light skin cant say every dark man is ugly or vice versa so its really stupid negativety and propaganda ppl put in our heads all through the media.

Here we go again with the whole “light-skinned, dark-skinned” thing. As soon as the African-American people stop putting divisions in our own race, then maybe we can see that we all in this together against everyone else.

Who the fawk is drake? I brought that shyt back nygga!!!

As a matter of fact I made it so I never went out!

HAHA

Who really cares? Blacks ARE BROTHERHOOD!

i dont look at dark-skinned or light-skinned..i look at personality..but Drake is FINE!!

I still love my dark skin men!!!!!!

should it matter what color u is, we all 1 in God’s eyes

light-skinned always been in my world. I’ll take me a mocha anyday lol

I look at Drake and he’s a good rapper but still all I see is Degrassi, lol.

i agree with lil money25! lol all i see is degrassi too! havent heard him rap tho so i dont knw if he can or can’t but he is cute

drake is swagga splashin for one, he makes good music, & could not possibly trip about what anybody else thinks and he makes good money doin just that. big ups to drake.

OH MY GOD HE IS THE DUDE FROM DEGRASSI? the one that ended up in a wheel chair?

I also see the Degrassi thing…but close ur eyes and listen to the lyrics…

HE cant bring light skin back if he’s Half jewish..c** on now

How u think people get light skinned bruh…we mixed.

PLEASE TO DONT SLEEP ON DRAKE i have been listening to him for a while now even before his stuff hit the radio.

Aint neva left as far as I’m concerned.

IM LIGHT SKINEDEDEDEDEDED AND WHEN PEOPLE SAYIN “LIGHT SKIN PLAYED OUT”YAL SOUND LIKE SOME SIMPLE MINDED AZZ NICCAS ….NICCA WE GOT JAYZ,LL COOL J,LUDA,CHRIS BROWN,T.I. SNITCHING AZZ, AND SO ON AND SO ON SO YAL NEED TO THINK B4 YAL SAY THAT DUMB AZZ SHIIT YAL BE SAYIN…..DUMB THE SHIIT DOWN….

Caught his show last week down here in Louisiana and he is the truth…was so fly and was perfect in person…his energy is crazy.

Who gives a rats azz if he lite or dark? Dats wats wrong with black ppl right now. Da dude is da truth. Color aint got nothing to do with nothing cause when you bleed, you bleed red. So what if he is liteskin? Who gives a damn! BLACK FOLKS JUS NEED TO STOP.

liteskin is back? cause of a singer? if u ever felt the color of your skin wasn’t in style then u got some self-esteem issues..smh.

i think dat dats stupidcrtiziin sum one of a they skinn color…. or wats gud with colors n s**t im light skinned but im mixed tho lol im dominican and black n i just think he need a life and grow up because dats just bein sterio type……..

f**k all that light or dark he goes hard…he fine 2..lol

Sorry my taste in men does not follow popular trend and has nothing to do with what artist is currently hot…

Not because I like a particular artist means all of a sudden in the real world I’m going to be looking for guys who look like them.That’s a bit ridiculous.

Light,dark or in between….don’t care. As long as you bring something to the table and I find you attractive…that’s what counts. I am not caught up in shade-ism.

Junk like this is perpetuating internal racism within the black community. The worlds in a recession – cops are kicking people in the head as little missing black girls go without media coverage – and the best you can report is somebody’s skin color?

How about looking at his merit as a legitimate emcee? Nobody bother’s to do that. Meanwhile, he’s getting a leg-up in exposure because he’s whiter than the rest of us? The very posting of this is undermining 500+ years of our movement to end racism.

I PERSONALLY PREFER DARK SKINNED MEN…MEDIUM TONE IS COOL…BUT REAL LIGHT SKINNED LIKE THE ACTOR WITH BLUE EYES AND SHEMAR MOORE I DON’T FIND ATTRACTIVE AT ALL…BUT TERRANCE HOWARD IS FINE TO ME
ALL IN ALL IT DOESN’T REALLY MATTER…I JUST FEIND FOR THE EXTRA DARK CHOCOLATE

I HAVE BEEN WATCHING “DRAKE” SINCE HIS DAYS ON “DEGRASSI TNG” HE’S A GREAT ACTOR AND RAPPER. VERY TALENTED NO MATTER HIS COLOR. SO GIVE HIM HIS PROPS AND CREDIT, IT TOOK THIS CANADIAN BORN A LONG TIME TO CROSS OVER AND GET NOTICED!! HE’S GOOD

Bright skinned people are only in until the summer the first week of summer, they have a short period of time to enjoy their like bright damn near white status. I don’t know his brother and never heard of him before tonight, I’m just going to suggest to him to get some sun light and stop going out just at night, hell maybe he’s a vampire, who knows, Black Power!!!!!!!!!

Bright skin is only in for about four months each year and that’s winter time. I don’t know this brother and can’t say I ever heard of him but if I ever come across him I’m going to suggest to him to get some sunlight in his life unless he’s some kind of Vampire, then sun or nothing will hell his lil light skin ass.

holy crap did star and buc-wild switch weights? i guess i haven’t seen them since the hot 97 days. i thought star was a big guy and buckwild was a twig. anyway this whole topic is stupid as hell anyway.

“Don’t forget you must pitch the old black VS. the young black males, and the young black male against the old black male. You must use the dark skinned slaves VS. the light skin slaves. You must use the female VS the male, and the male VS, the female. You must always have your servants and OVERSEERS distrust all blacks, but it is necessary that your slaves trust and depend on us.”

An excerpt from the William Lynch (foreign slave owner) doctrine (google it).

BP can’t be serious!! Why is this even a topic?!!!! Grow up!!

I DIDNT KNOW BEING JEWISH COUNTED AS LIGHT SKINNED NOW A DAYS…GUESS ALL THE WHITE BOYS LITE SKINNED TOO HUH?

S**t like this makes my dootie-hole pucker!!!! How are we ever going to be respected by other races if we keep making retarded differences among ourselves? Please, think back to the all the sacrafices and accomplishments that we have made to get past differences in race. My grandparents use to tell me of blackowned businesses that wouldnt hire anybody whose skin was darker than a paper bag (and yes they woould actually hold a bag up to your face to test). Why go backwards?!! This s**t is dumb! Color doesn’t make people look good…genetics does. And to me, there are a lot more hot guys out there that happen to be light. Why did they choose to focus on Drake?

Wonder if Drizzle Drake is related to me?
Drake family

GURLS ALWAYS LOVE ME MY WHOLE LIFE THAT “LIGHTSKINNED IS OUT” S**T JUST SUM OLE BULLS**T

DARKSKINN GURL LIKE LIGHTSKINN NIGGAS AND DARKSKINNED NIGGAS LIKE LIGHTSKINNED GURLS IS WHAT I USUALLY C

what about the gigaboos vs the wanna be’s from school daze. that is a more important topic. it must have been a real slow news day at urban daily. or the long feud between black people with straight hair & nappy hair now there is a topic that has been under reported.

It’s a BIG mistake coming over here first thing in the morning to read the “news”. Some of the stories posted here are so DUMB, it gives me a damn headache first thing in the morning.

Sad

I look at s**t of this nature like this. If there was a Klan rally going on and a bunch of us were together do you think they’d care if you were light skinned or dark? When people make racist remarks about the only black guy or girl at there job or school and even while getting a ticket do you think it matters to them? What about the Guy in Jasper did you think it matter then? Emitt Til hes a light skin guy did it matter when he had to suffer has fate after a simple whistle? I think that if we as a people would stop judging each other so hard our businesses and community efforts would go far. I do apologizes for going kinda there on you all but I hate this issue. Shade don’t matter everybody s**t does stink and we all bleed red. And to Poetic_Assasin great comment.

s**t who gives a f**k if hes light or dark hes still drop dead sexy and has a voice like no other!

we have to be the only people on the planet who brag about our folks being raped on a slave ship and a plantation.how do these fool ass muthaf**kas think they ended up as light as they are.true enuff two black people can make every shade in the rainbow and some,but these clowns think that nothing took place b4 they came along to have them looking like they do.

aya_rose_2 ur my hero lol

This is a Lame Topic….Im dark..and i get mad honeys…not tryna brag..But
this is whats dividing our race, it think its self hatred..passed down from the slavery days. Distortion put in the minds of our ancestor by slave owners, and its been passed down all these generations…its SAD.

yet another lame story on the urban daily…

BP is owned by some asian dude. All these authors are sells outs whoa e being told to write what asians think black people care about, or at least what they think we should all talk about. Good job Mr(s). Bojangles for tap dancing these bulls**t stories out of your keyboard! Way to really inform the black community. Way to not lead us astray in these harsh times. Wonderful to see someone really cares about getting pertinent info to our youth and making sure they don’t succ**b to the pitfalls and booby-traps laid out for them by this covertly racist society! You should be lynched or sniped.

This is all i been hearing lately is Drake this and Drake that,He’s only average on the mic nothing special so What’s the big deal about him?

CALM DOWN PEOPLE,,,LOL. I dont know about”bringing light skin back” cuz light or dark,,,ima f**k em all,,,LOL,,,im playing dont take that s**t too serious,,,but every race has their lights and darks,,,and s**t whatever anyone dont want,,,well pass em down to me,,,HELLO,,,LOL,,,everybody cracks their jokes,,,the best is when u do it to their face,,,mmmm i was thinkin of a redbone id like to bring home,,,LOL,,,dont hate on ur own people,,,if ur blacker than a MF then u are and if ur lighter than a MF,,,then u are,,,if u aint getting no love,,,come here,,,ill give u some love,,,LMAO,,,alright thats enough im out,,,i hope no one makes a “bringing fat b***hes back” topic,,,cuz i been here & been getting mine!!! *IL*O*IL*

UM I THINK I NEED TO PUT IN A APPLICATION TO MAKE UP ARTICLES TO WRITE ABOUT ON HERE BECAUSE ITS OBVIOUS THE WRITERS HAVE NO VISION,CREATIVITY OR LOGIC WHEN THEY THINK OF THESE TYPES OF ARTICLES!

well i’m not really into light skin guys but he’s fine as hell. watch everygirl video -lil wayne

he only got a buzz cause he signed to young money

Star and Buc are just fools. No one should support or deny anything they say – ignoring them would be best…which is why I won’t respond to topic.

He used 2 play on this show Degrassi I used 2 watch when I was younger.

[...] When you came out of nowhere and became a success, you have a right to share a gem or two. Peep what Soulja Boy had to say about the sensation known as Drake: [...]

aww whatever, light skin never went any where to start with :P

LOOK LIGHT NIGGAS…AS LONG AS MORRIS CHESTNUT IS ALIVE AND WELL, DARK-SKIN AINT GOIN NO WHERE!!!LOL AM I RIGHT LADIES?

THE LIGHT SKINNED BROTHERS NEVER WENT ANYWHERE THEY JUST PROBABLY HUMBLED THEMSELVES FOR AWHILE JUST TO MAKE DUE WAY FOR THE ORIGINAL BLACKMAN WHO ALWAYS DID SHINE- BUT WERE LIKE DIAMONDS IN THE RUFF. COME ON LETS NOT START THE WILLIE LYNCH SYNDROME AGAIN!
