Lil Wayne, in a remix of Future's "Karate Chop" used the lyric, "Beat The P**sy Up Like Emmett Till."

Quote:

If you don’t know the horrific, disgusting and tragic story of Emmett Till, he was a 14-year-old boy who was viciously murdered in 1955 after two white men claimed that he had been flirting with a white woman. He was from Chicago, visiting his uncle in Mississippi for the summer. The woman’s husband and his half-brother found Emmett, beat him, shot him, gouged out one of his eyes, attached a cotton gin fan to his body, and threw his body in a river. The men were found not guilty and later on admitted in an interview that they did indeed commit the murder. A picture of the 14-year-old’s unrecognizable face was featured on the cover of Jet Magazine just a few weeks after the vicious attack, giving the world just a glimpse into the frightening racism that had been going on in the south.

Artists like Stevie Wonder is disgusted, as well as Till's cousin as well.

I can't believe Lil Wayne did this, ESPECIALLY during Black History Month. I am even more dumbfounded that the label approved this. L.A. Reid has apologized, but he is it apparently.

I don't know if I can respect him again after this.

Emmett's family does. Just cause it's words does not mean you have the right to say it. This was dumb as hell.

It's no different than the recent Azealia incidents where she calls random people ******s and gets away with it. Anyone has the right to say anything actually, "freedom of speech". Obviously it's distasteful, grotesque, and a horrible thing to say but I fail to see why people care so much about it. Sans this guy's family of course.

RainMan

Kanye rapped about that guy on Through The Wire

but this one is much worse

Taste of Honey

That is absolutely disgusting to even consider putting a lyric in a song like that. Just plain stupid. Any knowledge of the incident and seeing a picture of what they did to that poor boy should explain it all.

♥CEB♥

This was in extremely poor taste.

Wayne should know better.

!!! I mean. There is a reason why people are upset especially the older generation who lived through that kind of stuff every day.

This is why i don't like Hip Hop it degrades my community and My people our ancestors would be so embarrassed by these rappers today.
