If this guy Kaleem Taylor is not receiving the attention he deserves, it is because he is of Darker skin complexion than most artist or what is perceived as "socially acceptable".
introvertsrulethisworld buddy buddy,you repeat yourself and so I will go on and repeat myself as well :)) Skin has nothing to do with it!!! Sometimes producer is the only god who can make u or break you! like for an instance, wanna be seen and heard,or star? but don't wanna lick jay Z balls? he will drown you with no chance for future ! .. BUT YOU - my introvert friend - You are overreacting! I have a feeling that you actually pretty much like Kaleem's songs,do you? :) Say YES so at least here we both can agree on...I wanna reach something common today... I did read above comment where you express how bad it is from your point of view and you are black *(that much I understood), you got what - ? criticism(!!!) from other black men about your skin? That's such nonsense but I am white woman,girl..whatever, and I hear all the time- why are you so pale?you need some sun? Why don't you tan/aren't tanned(at winters too like Im some lucky celeb to don't work and spend my winters at warm countries!)It pisses off coz I need to repeat obvious truth that I am white coz my parents happen to be white, so what the hell, am I supposed to be tanned /brown out of nowhere just coz society is going crazy adoring brown people! And yet not really adoring black people! stupid,right? Never and nothing is ok! if you are white, you are"too white", if black - then again not good..maybe gotta find those few immaculate folks and clone them and rest of world just kill so such imperfections stop occupying precious space :( :( and u mentioned how those pretty girls reject black guys..well..imagine you involve in your life and family as well white girl..not Latina or half black half Asian,but pure whiteness...your friends and your parents would never accept here and she would be outsider forever, isn't so? Same here, I come from small European country, only black people gets in our land are tourists, who come here, mostly at summers, coz I heard our winters are cold, even tho ,not anymore..so sure, it's like aliens walking on Earth coz we are not used to see any other faces like our kind...now we got already much more Asians and VERY slowly adapting to that, coz normally,we are not multicultural..we are not mixed outside our race..if someone would bring Chinese or "black"origin -would got lots of looks and become outsider ..people don't understand that core is same for all of us.. well, jerks are jerks, regardless skin color..but society is stuck in this idea that "alien" look means" alien" personality, somebody who not only looks different (ok,let's be honest,except skin,what else is different, got 5 arms or horns?)but behaves is some certain way..So yes, not welcoming here for BLACK people , that I can tell right away..and there are reasons which can be understood..Same with opposite scenario which I mentioned above above..Some Black people think about white as aliens and hold centuries old hate for their ancestor's sins...so this is 1:1...and who gain in the end? what's the benefit from this skin splitting?! Yes, but since I have alrdy wrote such long sheet, (longest ever I ever wrote on RUclips) - I will add, that there are some nuances who are common..so called "racism and co" , all these stereotypes also got roots somewhere,coz there is a common pattern which cause it..White's can't dance, black ppl are aggressive and so on..those are just most common ones....(I can't dance, so I am good example how it's sometimes true).U gotta deal that that pattern effects ppl more than needed..but good news, everyone - world is changing rapidly!! Maybe one day we all will lbe one race for God's sake
If you look closely, both Neyo and Usher have much better singing voices than Chris Brown but are simply put on less captivating melodies and less rythmic beats than Chris Brown (in my opinion his music still isnt good). If you look even closer, you will see that both Ne Yo and Usher are of darker complexion than Chris Brown and probably perceived as less attractive as a result. If you take a step back and look at mainstream music industry and media today, you will see that this phenomena I just described between Chris Brown and Neyo Usher is reflected throughout mainstream media and music today. Big Corporations and Capitalism have not only taken over artists and the content of their music, but they are also trying to "Change the face" of who is putting out "good" or "Soulful" rap and rnb music or just good music in general. Apparently, an artist by the name of Tory Lanez from Canada had a pretty similar style to Drake but for some strange did not receive the same kind of attention. In my opinion if he had received the same attention he probably would have grown "skill-wise" as much as Drake-but thats another discussion. My point is: If this guy Kaleem Taylor is not receiving the attention he deserves, it is because he is of Darker skin complexion than most artist or what is perceived as "socially acceptable".
introvertsrulethisworld Mmmm, no. Both Usher and Ne-yo think they have to "stay relavant" so they choose to water down their music to the 99% crap that is played on "mainstream" today. If you accept Corporations choice in music that just means you had no opinion to begin with. Everyone wants to be the next Jay-Z, Usher or what ever instead of doing something different. Music used to be artist driven now it's fan driven. Artists like Earth, Wind, &Fire and others put a song out basically saying "you're gonna like this", not, "does this sound ok?" And on the color thing, one of the most attractive men in many womens view is Tyrese. And then there is 50 cent and DMX who had fans galore. Usher and Ne-yo both have millions of fans. And also explain Rick Ross, 2Chainz, Migos, and above all Lil Wayne.
conrad Suttin None of the artists or celebs you named are amongst number 1. I have never seen Tyreese on the cover of a magazine, Usher and Neyo have not made any songs that are sensational or breathtaking for a while. This is because they are purposely put on music that sounds Poppy and trendy instead of soulful and different. Poppy soundin music is NOT what ppl want to here. That is why these white artists get so famous doing black music. They want to make it look like black artists dont have soul or funk and good melody. 50 cent receives a lot of hate from the media. Same with Lil Wayne. Migos is not that famous. Rick Ross also gets a lot of hate and not the credit he deserves Jay Z and 2 Chainz, possibly Kanye might be the exceptions to those you named. But even still they arent getting enough credit they deserve. Jay Z's album was great, yet Hit songs like "fucwitme" were basically swept under the rug. Mark my words complexion of the music industry is going to continue to become lighter and more discriminatory. Same goes for the video models. It used to be that there were more women of darker skin tone. Now its becoming more non black women and almost zero women that actually look black..
introvertsrulethisworld Who you are so lost on your music that it is kinda sad. Jay Z getting no credit? How is music getting lighter with the Futures and Kanyes of the world. Chris Brown is not some mega star that is championing the light skin music scene. You my brotha are color struck like many blacks younger than 30. Ya'll have fell for all the Okie Dokes out there yet think you are so smart. Didn't no one care about Nas, Snoops, Pacs, Chuck D's, MC Lyte's skin tones? We was digging the sound. Ya'll are so pathetic you don't even see how the man has gamed you into believing your own people are good or evil based on the shade of their skin. Music getting Lighter? First Quarter 2014 top Rap Albums: 1. YG, 2. Schoolboy Q 3. Rick Ross. There were never a large number of dark skin models in videos youngster. Buffy the Body, Esther Baxter, maybe a few others, but for the most part they have always been lighter toned. And hate to break it too you, the majority of the "R&B" that is mainstream doesn't have any soul. You would have never made it in the 70's. Player, Dobbie Brothers, Foxy, Wild Cherry, Average White Band right next to the Elements, Brass Construction, Kool and the Gang, BT Express. Why could Wild Cherry say "Play that Funky music White boy"? Because we only cared about the Funky Music! People with your mentality are the reason mainstream music is in the disary that it is in because you let the industry tell you what makes you cool or "relavant" instead of defining what cool or relavant is yourself.
conrad Suttin The time era you speak of was siginificantly different than what it is now. I completely agree with you the old school artists you named are all great and no one cares about their skin tone. This is because things were different back then. You did not go to high school in a predominantly NON black school in the later 2000's. You dont know what people are doing. I didnt start noticiing my skin tone until people started pointing it out. To break it to you, it was black ppl that were the most vocal. Outside of the music industry, from what im seeing in the professional world and in academic institutions a strong lack of black people. The only blacks in universities now are ones that try hard not to associate with the others or dont care to. Go online or OUTSIDE even, try approaching GOOD LOOKING women ( 9 or 10s) that are non-black (not white either) as a darker skin toned black guy. Lets see how you are looked at. Theres a trend of blonde hair blue eyed worship these days that unfortunately leave a darker skin toned black guy at the opposite end of the spectrum..Unless he is a rapper or athlete Point out more than one dark skinned black guy celeb that is viewed as a sex symbol WORLD Wide or is always the main hero character in a movie that looks cool. Let me guess: Usher, Neyo, Idris Elba? Now try mentioning those to good looking non-black women and see if it is accepted as social norm. Usually someone will scoff at the idea. Not to mention the simple fact that black guys cant be seen as attractive or cool outside of the entertainment or sports industry.
Il never forget looking him up after that tchami song and being blown away by how young he was in comparison to his voice!! Such a baby face here. Still love this song.

Are you Zuri cousin
2021 and still love this 💙
@KaleemTaylor is that your girlfriend
And yet "R&B" singers like Ne-yo and Chris Brown and Usher get full rotation with recycled DJ Mustard beats and whack lyrics.
If you look closely, both Neyo and Usher have much better singing voices than Chris Brown but are simply put on less captivating melodies and less rythmic beats than Chris Brown (in my opinion his music still isnt good). If you look even closer, you will see that both Ne Yo and Usher are of darker complexion than Chris Brown and probably perceived as less attractive as a result.
