Rappers say the darndest things sometimes.
Before Rick Ross got in trouble for rapping all rapey , there was Lil Wayne , who caught heat for his lyrics on Future's "Karate Chop (Remix)."
On the song, Lil Wayne raps this line:
"Beat that p*ssy up like Emmett Till."
Emmett Till was a black 14-year-old boy who was beat and murdered in 1955 after whistling at a white woman. So understandably, Till's family came out against the song, forcing Epic to edit the line out .
The controversy wasn't over. Earlier this week, Emmett Till's fam demanded that Mountain Dew drop the rapper from his sponsorship deal , similar to how R eebok dropped Rick Ross after his rape line on Rocko's "U.O.E.N.O."
After all of that, Tunechi has finally decided to respond. Earlier today, the rapper released a letter officially apologizing for his lyrics.
Read the letter below. Did he do enough?
"Dear Till Family:
As a recording artist, I have always been interested in word play. My lyrics often reference people, places and events in my music, as well as the music that I create for or alongside other artists.
It has come to my attention that lyrics from my contribution to a fellow artist’s song has deeply offended your family. As a father myself, I cannot imagine the pain that your family has had to endure. I would like to take a moment to acknowledge your hurt, as well as the letter you sent to me via your attorneys.
Moving forward, I will not use or reference Emmett Till or the Till family in my music, especially in an inappropriate manner. I fully support Epic Record’s decision to take down the unauthorized version of the song and to not include the reference in the version that went to retail. I will not be performing the lyrics that contain that reference live and have removed them from my catalogue.
I have tremendous respect for those who paved the way for the liberty and opportunities that African-Americans currently enjoy. As a business owner who employs several African-American employees and gives philanthropically to organizations that help youth to pursue their dreams my ultimate intention is to uplift rather than degrade our community.
Best,
Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr.
Lil Wayne"

Wayne's vocab is something serious

Good move,tho

That marble mouth mofokr ain't write that...

and he only did it when they threatened his endorsements.

bitch clothes wearing faggot..


and I am Lil Waynes biggest fan.......:rolleyes:
 
Where is the apology? I didn't read "I'm sorry" or "I apologize" in the letter, only that he "acknowledges" their hurt. GTFOH with this fake non apology, apology letter.

There's no actually apology.

Wayne is doing this because the Till family is talking about applying pressure to Wayne's sponsors and he saw what happened to Rick Ross.
 
Pitiful. :smh:

They had to touch dude's endorsement money before he even acknowledged the hurtful disrespect. And he still didn't actually apologize. He danced around it instead of just taking responsibility and owning up to the family and what he did.
 
"I acknowledge your hurt as well as your letter"???
That CAC bitch in Michigan who called her political colleague guy an ignorant Ni**er was more sincere.
I would ONE STAR that "apology" if I could :hmm:
.
 
"It has come to my intention..."?? "I acknowledge your hurt..."??:confused::smh:


Slimy bastard (and his publicist) cant even apologize correctly.

his "apology" is like someone saying I'm SORRY you feel that way :smh::lol:
 
bullshit apology but smart move...

I think (and hope) this shit will backfire. I really hope people see through this BS. It's been 3 months, there is no apology in the letter, and it only seems like Wayne is covering himself due to the calls to have his endorsements pulled.

:yes::smh:

Fuck this dude and his supporters

Nothing smart about it.

3 months too late. And this is not an apology. It is more like:

Sad & pitiful...:smh:

Sad because he OBVIOUSLY didn't know who Emmett Till was when he wrote the song.:confused:

and

Pitiful because that "apology" was so insincere and so clearly NOT written by that little troll...:hmm:
 
My father said always follow the money...all incentives are based around money or pussy. Lil Wayne apologized 3 months later because MOUNTAIN DEW was under pressure to drop him until something is done. Bang "CONTRITION" from Weezy
 
Bad choice of lyrics but his freedom to say it and ours not to listen.

That bullshit "acknowledgement" letter was most likely written by his publicity handlers. Its not even an apology. SMH

Not really an apology....just an acknowledgement and acceptance of a cease and desist. Whatever works though. Hopefully all can move on. I'm surprised they got that much...rappers rarely apologize for their "art" and right to creativity.
