Lil Wayne "Karate Chop" Remix: Pulled Due to Emmett Till Reference

Posted on February 14, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Getting ejected from the Heat game is the least of Lil Wayne’s problems this week. His remix of Future’s “Karate Chop,” which features Weezy making a degrading reference to Emmett Till, has been pulled by Epic Records. Many were up in arms over the lyrics about Till, an African-American teen from Chicago who was beaten and shot to death in the South in 1955. “We regret the unauthorized remix version of Future’s `Karate Chop,’ which 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 Rev, Jesse L. Jackson, Sr., we are going through great efforts to [take it down].” The Mamie Till Mobley Memorial Foundation’s Facebook page (named after Emmett’s mother) declared that Epic CEO L.A. Reid had contacted the family to apologize: “Mr. Reid stated the song was leaked out and he had not heard the lyrics.” “He is a man of integrity that values our family’s legacy and wouldn’t allow such heinous usage of Emmett Till’s name or dishonor his memory.” “We have yet to hear from Lil Wayne’s camp and he is the one that said it! It was all I could do to hold back my tears while engaged in conversation.” “Thank you Mr. Reid for now I can exhale.” The “Karate Chop” remix can still be listened to (for now) online. At the 3:14 mark in the song, Wayne says he’ll “Beat that p–sy up like Emmett Till.” Listen to it while you can, if you even want to. Future Ft. Lil Wayne – Karate Chop Remix

Lady Gaga Cancels Tour Due to Hip Injury, Surgery

Posted on February 14, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Lady Gaga has canceled the remainder of her Born This Way Ball tour, one day after announcing that she would postpone four shows due to a hip injury. Live Nation said in a release: “After additional tests this morning to review the severity of the issue, it has been determined that Lady Gaga has a labral tear of the right hip.” “She will need surgery to repair the problem, followed by strict down time to recover. This unfortunately, will force her to cancel the tour so she can heal.” Initially, shows set for today and Thursday in Chicago, Saturday in Detroit and Sunday in Hamilton, Canada, had been the only shows canceled. Mother Monster’s injury clearly became a bigger issue than before, however, and refunds will be available for tickets purchased as of Thursday. “I’ve been hiding a show injury and chronic pain for sometime now,over the past month it has worsened,” Lady Gaga tweeted. “I’ve been praying it would heal.” “I hid it from my staff, because I didn’t want to disappoint my amazing fans. However after last night’s performance I could not walk and still can’t.” “It will hopefully heal as soon as possible, I hate this.” “I hate this so much. I love you and I’m sorry.” We hate it too. But please just get well.
