Emmitt Till Estate On Lil Wayne Lyric

[BrewCityYM]

But when Andre 3000 uses Anne Frank in a sexual metaphor it's ok? I am a proud young black man, but I think we make ourselves look bad when we talk down on our own successful black people based on what he/she says in a song, if Wayne made a statement like fuck Emmett Till sure, but people tend to take rappers lyrics serious when majority thinks it's wrong, when Birdman said he gettin money like a cracker there was no uproar, it seems people only care about an issue when the majority says it's a problem, like when Trayvon was killed it was a big issue because the majority thought it was, but when Jordan Davis died I didn't see the same response from the majority.

davis ppl didn't reach out like they shoulda martins fam did they went the extra mile and got everybody involved...... Anne frank idk who that is or tha story so I can't even elaborate tbh..... But nobody is talkin down on Wayne. If he was out of line. Why wouldn't The Till fam speak out about they family member that was brutally and historically murdered.... If that was ur fam you wouldn't take that weak azz line lightly you'd be heated.... If he seen a nigga that killed yo fam and you see him bragging and boasting and disrespecting your family member in a bad way you'd be pretty upset..... And Wayne is no different.... I'm sure the till family isn't using Wayne's name for a few seconds of fame....... If he gne use his name be more creative then that... If he woulda said sumthing cold this issue wouldn't been brought up.... If was a weak ignorant line.... And laughed after sayin it smh. That's disrespectful

It's just the way that the American culture is. Some find it disrespectful just because of norms, but it doesn't mean that it is.

You don't know Anne Frank? Anne Frank was Jewish who hid in an attic with her family to avoid being captured by the Nazi's, until her family was found and her, her sister, & mother all died in a concentration camp, and after the Holocaust was over her father found the diary she had been writing and put it into a very famous & popular book.

Why does everyone keep using that what if it was your family line? It's not my family, and I think the Till family should be more worried about getting Till's name out there than getting it removed, I didn't know about Till until I heard his name in a 2 Chainz song, if they want him to be remembered & respected then they should go after the education system for not even mentioning his name in history classes, i'm pretty sure a lot more people know about Till know thanks to Wayne & this whole controversy.

Yea never heard of her....... But shit I thought everybody knew about Emmit Till. I learned about him in school. Was scared to even look T his pic in school. It's a huge part of the civil rights movement... I thought every black person knew about him...... Idk I feel his family did the right thing.... And it's not thanks to Wayne in a good way like he did the till fam a favor.... But I guess.... It's disrespectful in my eyes

I guess it's just a difference between Southern & Northern schools, we learned about Anne Frank in 7th grade; we read her diary, watched the movie, & we had to write a paper. We only seemed to study the non-violent parts of black history, I think the Till family should have just asked for the line removed and not insulted his stance as a black man, they basically shit on every good thing Wayne has done and makes him look like he is ignorant about his history.

Fuck all these haters they started hating and Wayne and dont even ask what the pussy he was beaten look like.....he probably did make it look like Emmit Till

this is nothing to make fun of. i can see white folks not giving a damn. but when black people give wayne a pass for making light of what emmett and his family went through then theres a problem. a serious one.

here for those of you who have no knowledge of the Till lynching

Emmett TillEmmett Till - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

He didnt say anything disrespectful about Till, its a fact that he received a vicious beat down, and Wayne gave that pussy brutal beat down.

Aint nobody use Trayvon Martin In No Song..... So if a rapper said sum shit like "Im Shooting Any Nigga Walkin Like Trayvon Martin" and then laughed at the end that would be okay because it's a punchline ?

Yeah they have dumbass......."Lemme See" was a pretty big radio hit and Ross made a Trayvon reference, and so do a bunch of other songs you sound like a ignorant dickhead and if someone says something about me using "sound i will curse them and their kids and their kids kids.

Remy Ma:" you got little tits and your face looks like Emmett Till" Kanye: "just imagine how my girl feel, scared as hell that her guy look like Emmett Till" I don't understand why there was NO CONTROVERSY WHAT SO EVER OVER REMY LINE BUT THERE IS ON WAYNE!

nobody knows who Remy Ma is

Punch line didn't even make sense

Either your retarded or reaching.

Exaggeration at it's finest

[__cas__]

lmao. The media is so fucking funny.

From "Swizzy" on Drought 3: "Beatin up ya block yeah I get my Emmett Till on".

Dude has said it before, I don't see what the difference is here. I'm white and I surely wouldn't give a fuck if a bunch of black dudes beat up a white guy I didn't know 60 years ago and a WHITE rapper used his name in a song.


edit: I know how severe the crime was I'm not talking about that.
