The big homie Future tells Big Boy’s Neighborhood that Lil Wayne’s lyric about Emmett Till brought cultural understanding to a situation that happened a long time ago.  The lyric helped to bring about a revival of sort to the Emmett Till tragedy.  According to Future most people today don’t even know who Emmett Till is and what happened to him.

In a recent interview with Power 106, Future chatted about the remix of his song “Karate Chop,” in which Lil Wayne compares having rough sex to the murder of Emmett Till.

Although Future says the situation surrounding the lyric was unfortunate, he believes Lil Wayne’s lyric brought about a “raised awareness about Emmett Till’s horrific murder. Future tells Big Boy’s Neighborhood,

“We did the song with great intentions – I know he did the verse for the art – but speaking on the situation, I can’t speak on it,” he said. “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 [Emmett Till’s 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 thought 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.”
