EPIC RECORDS TO PULL FUTURE/LILWAYNE SONG WITH HARMFUL LYRICS
YESTERDAY WE REPORTED THAT REV.JESSE JACKSON SR ALONG WITH OTHERS WERE UPSET WITH THE LIL WAYNE LYRICS IN THE NOW REPORTED "UNAUTHORIZED" REMIX VERSION TO RAPPER FUTURE'S "KARATE CHOP" SINGLE THAT HIT AIRWAYS EARLY THIS WEEK. IN THE SONG LIL WAYNE MAKES REFERENCE TO EMMETT TILL A YOUNG BLACK TEENAGER FROM CHICAGO KILLED IN 1955 IN MISSISSIPPI FOR FLIRTING WITH A WHITE WOMAN.
“Pop a lot of pain pills
Bout to put rims on my skateboard wheels
Beat that pussy up like Emmett Till”
“We regret the unauthorized remix version of Future's 'Karate Chop,' which was leaked online and contained hurtful lyrics. 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."
