Future says Lil Wayne's verse using Emmett Till's name to describe rough sex on his song Karate Cop brought positive energy to a negative situation...
Future tells Power 106,
“I never thought it was going to get so much attention, but I think overall, the whole situation, he did bring light in a positive way to what happened. Even though [the family] probably thought it was negative, he brought positive energy to the situation because a lot of people don’t even know [who Emmett Till was]."
"My dad didn’t even know who Emmett was, he think I was talking about Emmett Smith. I’m talking a lot of that are people around me, credible people, that should be like, ‘Man, you don’t even know who Emmett Till is?’"
"He raised awareness to people who didn’t even know Emmett Till. The young kids that never even knew what happened to him… I don’t believe he in any way, form, or fashion did it out of disrespect toward the family.”
