Has Lil Wayne Gone Too Far? Boycott Being Sought For 'Karate Chop' Remix Over Wayne's Disrespectful Lyrics About Emmett Till [Audio]

 

Audio After The Jump

 

Lil Wayne has said a lot of controversial things in songs throughout his career, but he appears to have really crossed the line in his latest collaboration with Future titled "Karate Chop" remix.

 

In the song Wayne raps “I pop alot of pain pills. Bout to put rims on my skateboard wheels/Beat that p*ssy up like Emmett Till.”.

 

Emmett Till was an African-American boy who was murdered in Mississippi in 1955 at the age of 14. Till, who was from Chicago reportedly flirting with a 21-year old white store owner by the name of Carolyn Bryant. That was justification enough in the minds of Bryant's husband Roy Bryant and his half-brother J. W. Milam to murder Till.

 

The two took Till from his great-uncle's house to a barn where they brutally beat him, gouged out one of his eyes and shot him in the head before dumping his body in the Tallahatchie River,

 

Till's body was pulled from the river three days later. His mother, Mamie Till Mobley. made the controversial decision to have an open casket. Photos of her son's disfigured face were widely published.

 

 

Both Bryant and Milam were acquitted of the young boy's murder.

 

Today the Mamie Till Mobley Memorial Foundation is calling for a boycott of the "Karate Chop" remix.

 

How DARE you compare the atrocity of Emmett Till to the anatomy of a woman!!!! Rappers Future and Lil Wayne's release of the "Karate Chop"remix scheduled to appear on DJ Smallz's This Is That Southern Smoke Vol. 4 which drops during All Star Weekend, includes the egregious lyrics..."Beat that p-ssy up like Emmett Till".

 

The rappers metaphoric indiscretion is not only OFFENSIVE to the family of Emmett Till but our ancestors and to THEMSELVES as black men.  How can a comparison be made between the gateway ofLIFEto the BRUTALITY andPUNISHMENT of DEATH? Have they no pride and dignity as black men?  They are diminishing there own existence in a society controlled by a system that criminalizes black men at every opportunity.

The name Emmett Till has resonated over 57 years in effort to educate, in tributes to his life, to demonstrate the existence of modern hate crimes, and to continue the legacy of our rich cultural history. Numerous ballads and songs HONOR his memory and the brutal torcher he endured at the tender age of 14-years-old; during a time when black people weren't even considered humans beings.

 

It is disappointing, dishonorable, and outright disrespectul to Emmett Till's family and our community at large. The name Emmett Till represents the eruption of a great movement in our hearts as black people and in our country. Out of respect to the family please remove that portion of your lyrics. His mother Mamie Till Mobley is doing cartwheels in her tomb!!!!!!

 

Until the lyrics are removed we request everyone boycott "Karate Chop" remix! I also emplore the veterans of the rap and hip hop to mentor and sensor the newborns!

 

#BOYCOTTKARATECHOPREMIX

 

Lets unite in solidarity!

@Shone f*** you ya punk! You natives don't complain cuz the majority of y'all get reparations from your tribe, y'all got your own piece of land for your people called resevations, and y'all got your own set of laws so don't compare the damage done to your people to the all out disrespect and slaughter of mine... Y'all were able to keep your culter intact for the most part, ours was stolen from us and forgotten so once again f*** you Shone... Ya b****

As a Native American I say this: I think Black people need to stop living in the past...it's freaking 2013! Us Natives has it worse then yall, my people were murdered, raped and turned into slaves as well! Hell we had our own country stollen from us and we are an endangered human race with are language about to become extinct but you dont hear us crying over a freaking western movie being shown on AMC now do ya? Thats the sh*t I get tired of hearing about is when blacks get butt hurt over something that happened how many years ago? Focus on today and not the past, I live in the present and focus on my future! Dont care if this has offeneded somebody on here or not I honestly do not care.

erac3rx i totally agree with ya mate
Comment by Lesane Crooks on February 13, 2013 at 8:12pm
He'll beat the p**** up. How many times have I heard that line?? too many to count. I guess he's saying that he'll give the p**** the same beating that those crackers gave to emmet and when he's done beating up the p**** the p**** will look like the disfigured face of emmet. I think his lyrics are offensive. I have nothing against wayne but if you call your self the best rapper alive then i'm sure you can come up with something better to say. Those are the lyrics of a rapper that's nearing his limit.

f****** people r to sensitive blacks r the most racist people, u all cry racism but when you r hiding behind your computers you real feelings come out. Get a job you people live in a fantasy world 99.9 % of you arenot going to be rich rappers or [lay in the nba so u think your above working because jayz would not do it. white people who listen to there country and rock dont work or think there above work because Springsteen or tim McGraw are worth 100's of millions of dollars. I have a good union job with coca cola in south jersey a pretty poor area and we make like 70k a year the only two people my boss ever had to fire were both black they didot know how to work.
