Lil Wayne Offends: "Karate Chop" Remix Pulled Over Emmett Till Reference
So, what was Lil Wayne thinking?
Epic Records apologized Wednesday and said it was looking to pull all traces off the Internet of the so-called unauthorized remix of Future's "Karate Chop," which features Lil Wayne making a degrading reference to Emmett Till, an African-American teen from Chicago who was beaten and shot to death in the Jim Crow South in 1955.
"We regret the unauthorized remix version of Future's `Karate Chop,' which was leaked online and contained hurtful lyrics," the label said in a statement. "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."

At press time, the "Karate Chop" remix can still be listened to on Epic's website with the reference to Till censored from Lil Wayne's line at the 3:14 mark in the song that was recorded as, "Beat that p--sy up like Emmett Till."

I think Epic Records is trying to avoid what they really knew.
He tried to get in a Twitter war with Dr.Anthea Butler. She let him have it.
