MTV’s Hottest MC In The Game #9: Future

Following Meek Mill at the first entry, the number 9 spot has been given to ATLien Future:

Considering where Future was at the start of his career, the meteoric rise that he’s experienced over the past year is more than enough reason for the Astronaut Kid to keep his head in the clouds and the #9 spot on MTV News’ “Hottest MCs in the Game VIII” list.

What began as a strictly underground run began to take off in 2011 with Future’s “Tony Montana” single and its Drake-assisted remix. During 2012, however, Future sky-rocketed to new heights with high-powered pop hooks, while still keeping his hold on the streets. His mix of melodic arrangements and raspy rap bars were a sure-shot formula for some of the year’s biggest hits.

Epic ‘Pulls’ Song With Lil’ Wayne Emmett Till Lyric

et

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Epic Records is going to “great efforts” to take down a new Future remix leaked over the weekend with a vulgar Lil Wayne lyric that has offended the family of Emmett Till.

The New Orleans rapper made a sexual reference to the beating death of Till, a 14-year-old Chicago boy tortured and shot in Mississippi in 1955 for whistling at a white woman. Till’s family objected and the Rev. Jesse Jackson reached out to his management, The Blueprint Group, on the family’s behalf.

The label issued a statement Wednesday night apologizing for the release of the song.

“We regret the unauthorized remix version of Future’s ‘Karate Chop,’ which was leaked online and contained hurtful lyrics,” the statement said. “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.”

Epic will release an official version of the song that “will not include such references.”

Neither Jackson nor members of Till’s family could be reached late Wednesday. A publicist says Lil Wayne has had no comment so far.
He appears briefly on the song, alluding to the black teenager’s beating in a way too vulgar to print.

Till, a native of Chicago, was in Mississippi visiting family in 1955 when he was killed. He was beaten, had his eyes gouged out and was shot in the head before his assailants tied a cotton gin fan to his body with barbed wire and tossed his body into the Tallahatchie River. Two white men, including the woman’s husband, were acquitted of the killing by an all-white jury.

Till’s body was recovered and returned to Chicago where his mother, Mamie Till, insisted on having an open casket at his funeral. The pictures of his battered body helped push civil rights into the cultural conversation in the U.S.

Bob Dylan wrote a song about it: “The Death of Emmett Till.”

A Facebook posting on the Mamie Till Mobley Memorial Foundation page Wednesday night said Epic Records Chairman and CEO LA Reid had reached out to the family to personally apologize.

T-Pain Continues To Diss Future Over AutoTune Use

T-Pain_2012

First the Instagram dig, and now this: Future called in to Big Regg’s radio show on Hot 93.7 to speak on what he’s been up to career-wise, and definitely had some things to say about a certain colleague and his use of a certain piece of techonology (while praising his songwriting):

“I don’t think Future gets the technology… I don’t think he understands how it actually works. He’s writing great songs– he’s a great writer– as far as how he uses Auto-Tune… I think he’s thinking you just turn it on, and it happens. A lot of people don’t sing with it, they just sing and put it on after, which is a terrible mistake. There’s a lot of stuff you’ve gotta know about Auto-Tune before you can start using it, because it’s the hot thing to do. But Future’s still great, he’s doing his thing.”

Future In More Baby Mama Drama

Future-Rapper-Hip-Hop-ATL

Future might have been having way too much fun as of late…because another woman is yelling ‘baby’. From TMZ:

TMZ has learned the most recent potential baby mama filed a lawsuit against Future in Georgia earlier this month … claiming she gave birth to his son on December 4th. She also wants Future to start paying child support for the newborn STAT.

The woman makes it clear in docs, if Future disputes the paternity … she wants a judge order him to take a DNA test … and make it official.

As we previously reported … Future just settled another baby mama paternity suit back in January — and agreed to pay $1,662 a month in child support for his 10-year-old son.
