Lil Wayne Under Fire For Disrespectful Emmett Till Lyric, Epic Records Pulls Song

(AllHipHop News) Lil Wayne is under intense scrutiny for a rap lyric that blatantly disrespects the memory of Emmett Till, a young boy that was murdered in 1955 for whistling at a white woman.

The rapper appears on the Future song “Karate Chop,” where he proclaims he would beat up a woman’s private parts like Emmett Till.

Epic Records has already released a statement indicating that they are pulling the remixed record, which was apparently leaked to the internet.

“We regret the unauthorized remix version of Future’s `Karate Chop,’ which was leaked online and contained hurtful lyrics,” the statement said. “Out of respect for the legacy of Emmett Till and his family and the support of the Reverend Jesse L. Jackson, Sr. … we are going through great efforts to take down the unauthorized version.”

Another version of the song is coming out without the reference to Emmet Till. The move corresponds with the wishes of the family.

Earlier this week, the family of the Till family has released a statement expressing their outrage at the lyric.

Airickca Gordon-Taylor, founding director of the Mamie Till Mobley Memorial Foundation, said the song is “disappointing, dishonorable, and outright disrespectful to our family.”

“My agenda is not to be disrespectful to Lil Wayne, even as much as I feel he’s been disrespectful to my family. We just want Emmett’s name removed from that song. That entire segment is very misogynistic and promotes domestic abuse toward women by our own race.” Gordon-Taylor told the Sun-Times on Wednesday.

“But it also shows total disregard of where you’ve come from. He wouldn’t even be out there rapping these stupid lyrics without the sacrifice Emmett made. Personally, I think Lil Wayne should just go ahead and apologize to my family. It’s hurtful.”

Lil Wayne has made no comment at press time.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Chris “Not A Blood” Brown Arguing With Crips?!

Remember back in the day when Chris Brown was known as a Blood gang member? I do!

Well, it seems that CB is at it again and this time it is with a Crip. Seems that CB was making a speed walk to the Lamb when somebody had something to say about his expeditiousness! The joke didn’t go over too well. Here is what happened, per TMZ:

Crip: “I ain’t never seen a ni**a jump in a car that fast, ni**a. Yo, scary-ass Chris is that motherfu**er bulletproof?”"

Chris “Not-A-Blood” Brown: “Is yo’ a** bulletproof, NAGA?”

Crip: “I’m a crip ni**er, hell yeah, I’m bulletproof!”

Chris “Not-A-Blood” Brown then gives the Crip some ominous advice, which only somebody of much power could give.

Chris: “Don’t get f**ked up out here, my n**ga.”

To be fair, he’s denied being a blood.

Charlamagne Tha God Gives Chief Keef The 'Donkey Of The Day' Award For Crying When He Was Sentenced To 60 Days In Juvenile Detention [Audio]

Chicago rapper Chief Keef was sentenced to 60 days in juvenile detention yesterday for violating his probation from a previous gun charge.

Cook County Juvenile Court Judge Carl Anthony Walker said Tuesday that Keef, whose real name is Keith Cozart, exhibited a "clear disregard for the court's authority" by appearing with a gun during a 2012 interview with Pitchfork.com at the West Side Rifle and Pistol Range in New York City.

Keef had to be back in court yesterday for sentencing when he found out his fate.

The 17-year old asked the judge for another chance, but Walker wasn't having it.

"I beg you, please. Give me one more chance to show you I am a very good-hearted person. I have not picked up any more cases. That's not my life anymore," Keef told the judge before breaking down crying according to DNAInfo.com.
Today, Charlamagne Tha God of Power 105.1 gave Keef the "Donkey of the Day" award for sobbing in court during his sentencing.

"I can understand if he got 60 months in prison. Or 60 years in prison. Even if he got 60 days in general population in Chicago I can understand him shedding some tears, but 60 days in juvenile detention? Come on Mr. Gangster?" Charlamagne said.
