I've never experienced colorism from within the Black community actually. It's probably because I am neither light nor dark skinned. I fall like DIRECTLY in the middle. I heard about that Oprah special but I was at work. I'll have to make sure I catch the rerun.

Yeezus was a grower for me. The lyricism isn't great, but I've liked it more and more with each listen. I prefer it to Born Sinner (which Kanye was serving much better 8 or 9 years ago).
I loooved Yeezus. Maybe because Im West Indian and I know how genius and innovative the samples he used was. It was perfect. New Slaves, Blood on the Leaves, Im In It and Bound 2. Bound 2 >>> yes God.
I prefer Yeezus over Watch the Throne and maybe even MBDTF. just maybe..
