Lil’ Wayne Under Fire for Disgusting Emmett Till Lyrics

   
future & lil wayne

Rapper Future featured Lil Wayne on his track “Karate Chop” which was recently leaked to the internet and the combination was explosive.

*The rap world has always been scrutinized for some of the gritty delivery in artists’ songs.

But, none of the songs have been so disrespectful as to compare a sex act with a tragic lynching in American history.

Well, who else would go there, but Lil’ Wayne. He is featured on a track with rapper Future for his song “Karate Chop” which was recently leaked to the internet.

On the track, he compares the beating death and/or lynching of 14-year-old Emmett Till in 1955, to what he would do to a woman’s genitals.

The song appears on the mixtape “This Is That Southern Smoke Vol. 4″, according to the Huffington Post.

  1. This is one of the main reasons our youth are in the state they’re in. They have no knowledge of their history and its sickening their ignorance makes them filthy rich. I never knew what all the hype is with Lil Wayne other than being a cough syrup druggie. Dumb ass Bastard!

  2. I didn’t even read the lyric. I can’t . I’m disturbed not only for the flippant trivialization of this child’s murder, but the implication of violence against women. It’s not ok !

  3. This level of ignorance is staggering

  4. you hit the nail on the head Stephanie!!!

  5. Agree with everyone.

  6. I agree with all of the posts also, I remember my grandmother telling me the story of Emmitt Till and about 12 yrs ago Ebony ran an article on htis young man’s murder and they had a pic of him laying in the casket and he did not even resemble anything human, his face was gone, it was beyond horrible what those racist’s pigs did to this 14 yr old A CHILD!!! I will not forget that pic as long as I live!!!

      I remember seeing Emmitt Till in his casket on “Eyes on the Prize” when I was a child. That’s when I “got it” and REALLY understood what it meant when my parents would tell me that people died so I could enjoy the privileges I have today.

  7. ITA with all the comments. Plain sick and disgusting.

  8. What on earth was he thinking?! And what’s more frigtening is no one in his crew him checked him! SMH- I cannot believe he didn’t find anything wrong with those lyrics!

  9. I give mad props to Keith Beachamp who investigated the Emmitt Till story as a promise to his mother, Mrs. Mamie Till (RIP). I made my daughter watch it and she had so many questions and started reading her history. People give Farrakhan a bum rap but when it comes to opening our eyes to our history, he is excellent..Like he said, we have a rich history and you do a disservice to yourself and your children when you don’t learn about it. The biggest threat to society is an EDUCATED black man…Lil Wayne is no threat because he’s ignorant and his ignorance is getting him paid which just amazes me…

  10. LIL Wayne is the BEST RAPPER ALIVE NIGAAAAAAASSSSS!!!!!!!

    When this song was written, wayne was not thinking
    Of the kids nor women or emmets family. He thoughtt
    It would be cool to make money off of a murder and
    Compare it to what he would do to a lady. Sounds like
    rape to me! He is so disrespectful and i say to all “ban
    His music!” And what woman in her right mind would
    want something that horrish looking on top of her?! Lol…
    And thanks to stephanie, you always tell it like it is!
    God bless you steph!
