Epic Records Chairman and CEO LA Reid has made the decision to pull Future's "Karate Chop" Remix due to complaints from Emmett Till's family regarding offensive lyrics by Lil Wayne.
As we previously reported, Wayne makes reference to the 1955 beating death of 14-year old Till in the song.
“I pop alot of pain pills. Bout to put rims on my skateboard wheels/Beat that p*ssy up like Emmett Till.”.
Till was visiting family in Mississippi from Chicago when he was brutally murdered by two white men after he flirted with one of their wives. The killing became a significant moment in the civil rights movement
Both men were eventually acquitted in the case.
Airickca Gordon-Taylor, the Estate Heir & Founding Director of the Mamie Till Mobley Memorial Foundation wants Wayne to apologize for the lyrics.
"It was a heinous murder," Gordon-Taylor told the Associated Press Thursday from Chicago. "He was brutally beaten and tortured, and he was shot, wrapped in barbed wire and tossed in the Tallahatchie River. The images that we're fortunate to have (of his open casket) that 'Jet' published, they demonstrate the ugliness of racism. So to compare a woman's anatomy — the gateway of life — to the ugly face of death, it just destroyed me. And then I had to call the elders in my family and explain to them before they heard it from some another source."
Epic said it regretted the unauthorized remix leaking onto the internet and was employing "great efforts" to pull it down. The offensive lyrics will be removed from the song when it is re-released.
L.A. Reid
LA Reid personally reached out to Gordon-Taylor on a conference call Wednesday evening that included the Rev. Jesse Jackson to explain and apologize.

"Once he got the point he realized this was beyond the zone and he immediately pulled it," Jackson said. "And he talked with both artists, who agreed."
Gordon-Taylor said the lyrics were devastating to her family. Simeon Wright, Till's cousin who shared a bed with his relative the night he was taken by the killers, heard the lyric for the first time Wednesday night.
"And he said the Ku Klux Klan would be very proud of Lil Wayne," Gordon-Taylor said. "And as tough a man as he is, I could see the hurt and the anger in his eyes. It just demonstrates to our family just how lost are our youth."
"We want artists who have considerable power to use their power to uplift and redirect," Jackson added. "It's not a matter of free speech, it's also speech that matters. ... These artists have culturally transforming power. Either they hurt or they help."
No word on if Wayne has reached out to the family.

Oscar Pistorius was elevated to hero status in his home country of South Africa after he made sporting history by becoming the first double amputee sprinter to compete in the Olympics in 2012. Today the man known as the "blade runner" has been charged with murder after reportedly shooting his 30-year old model girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp four times in his home in Pretoria .
Steenkamp was shot in the arm and head according to police spokesperson Captain Sarah Mcirca. A 9mm pistol was recovered at the scene.

Pistorius races using carbon fiber prosthetic blades. The 26-year old won two gold medals and a silver at last year’s Paralympic Games in London. In the 2012 Olympics he reached the 400-meter semifinal and competed in the 4x400 meter relay.
Oscar Pistorius, center, left the police station in Pretoria East in South Africa to be taken into custody on Thursday after a woman was fatally shot in his home.
Early Thursday morning, the police responded to a report of gunshots in the upscale housing complex where Mr. Pistorius lives. When they arrived they found a woman being treated by paramedics. Pistorius was arrested at the scene. He is not expected to receive bail.
“A case of murder has been opened," said Col. Katlego Mogale, a police spokeswoman.
There have been some reports that the victim was mistaken for a burglar.
"We have also taken cognizance of the media reports during the morning of an alleged break in or that the young lady was mistaken to be a burglar," Brigadier Denise Beukes said. "Obviously our forensic investigation is still ongoing and we're not sure where this report came from. ... Our detectives have been on the scene, our forensic investigators have been on the scene and the investigation is ongoing."
BBC's Andrew Harding reports that neighbors heard an altercation at the house late last night before shots were fired
Police said there have been "previous incidents" of a domestic nature reported at Pistorius' home.
In 2012 he was named one of the world's 100 most influential people by Time Magazine. Pistorius has sponsorship deals with brands including Nike, Oakley and the French fashion designer Thierry Mugler.
