Brew Tube: Reaction To Wale's "Pretty Girls"


Have you seen the video for Wale's "Pretty Girls?" Well, the images in the video kicked off a firestorm of comments on Facebook and blogs across the innawebs. People are pissed that these so called "pretty girls" weren't plucked from more colors of the rainbow. Check the vid:


Ok, so vid-blogger Joy Daily went o-f-f about the video also.


Seems like this is an age-old battle that's as old as the rap video genre itself.  But, do you agree with Joy? What's your call?

Maybe he doesn't like chocolate?!? But to the Joy's point......where are the girls that are the complexion of the rapper himself?!?

People of color do come in all shades; but often people do focus on those with fairer skin. If I were the artist, I think I would have noticed that when I saw it the first time.
