Do you think this is the most dickish thing Wayne has ever done?
It's not the first time he's used Emitt Till's name in a song (Swizzy) "Beat up your block, yeah I get my Emitt Till on" no one bitched back in 07
Kanye did too in 04 and that was a hit single no one said anything.
"On a plane scared as hell that her guy look like Emitt Till" - Through The Wire
It personally doesn't bother me. Ppl just look for a reason to bitch now a days. If they don't like they don't have to listen. That's just how I feel about tbh.

I am not sure much distinguishes this from all the other high shock value, nothing-is-sacred stuff in his music that would offend the uninitiated.
I personally think it was more of a dick move to yell out in public that he fucked Chris Bosh's wife because that was intended to humiliate and was like defamatory...whereas with the Emmett Till lyrics he was making another twisted cultural reference.
