Stevie Wonder is not impressed with Lil' Wayne's controversial new verse equating a sexual act to the beating (and eventual murder) of Emmett Till.

In a recent interview with the Associated Press, the legendary musician let it be known he thought the verse was distasteful. "You can't equate that to Emmett Till," he said. "You just cannot do that. ... I think you got to have someone around you that — even if they are the same age or older — is wiser to say, 'Yo, that's not happening. Don't do that.'"

On a remix to rapper Future's song "Karate Chop," Wayne boasts that he'll "Beat that p--sy up like Emmett Till," referencing Till's brutal beating for allegedly whistling at a White woman in 1955. Future's record label has apologized to Till's relatives and promised to pull the verse. Wayne has not.

Wonder, a fan and friend of the 30-year-old Grammy winner, say he hopes Wayne will have more compassion the next time he pens a song. "Sometimes people have to put themselves in the place of people who they are talking about," he said. "Imagine if that happened to your mother, brother, daughter or your son. How would you feel? Have some discernment before we say certain things. That goes for me or any other (song)writer."

What a wonderful contribution to Black History Month on Wayne's behalf.

It's great that Stevie is speaking up against those lyrics. Maybe some of these clueless rappers will listen to a real legendary icon/artist like Stevie Wonder.

Exactly.

I doubt it

Wouldn't be surprise if Stevie is called a blinda$$ sellout (or worse) after this

Rappers do not like to be called out, so they get back with more insults

Oh Wayne can try and pull out the childish tactics with Stevie, but Mr. Wonder has way more clout in the "industry" than Wayne could even possibly achieve.

Let him try it and the industry will blackball him from the industry. Dissing Stevie in the music industry is like dissing God in religion.

Last night, he also said he fucked Chris Bosh's wife live on stage in Houston.

This predator-looking weasel... I swear, and people need to stop feeding that bullshit in his ear that he's some sort of legend (he's not).

My god don't sing anything about the that because yeah it's gonna cause some outburst, plus it's very disrespectful

I'm definitely with Steive on this one. Disrespectful lyrics.

Lil Wayne is a piece of garbage anyway. If Bosh's wife really did get with him, WHY? I mean why cheat with THAT?

It's probably the chick Bosh had a baby with. She tried to get on Basketball Wives but Bosh stopped it from hapenning.

Bosh just got married last year I think and had another baby with hs wife. I doubt it's her.

So Stevie's a fan and friend of someone who writes lyrics like "fags hetting AIDS in the ass"?

Apparently! I was actually more shocked about that (his lyrics about Emmett were just as bad). Stevie still trying to be the cool uncle in the music industry.

Hell, he's gutter trash. What do you expect from him?

The idiots don't listen to them when it comes to putting instruments in songs. They sure as hell aren't going to listen when it comes to lyrics.
