Boyce Watkins: Anybody who advocates for the systematic extermination of Blacks might as well be a member of the Ku Klux Klan


"Think about this. If a white cop goes out and says 'kill that nigga,'we'd be marching in the streets. We'd be protesting because it's clearly racist. But for some reason, when a black rapper says 'kill that nigga' we start dancing. We think that that's ok. And my argument is that anybody who advocates for the systematic extermination of African American people might as well be a member of the Ku Klux Klan."

That quote was one of the highlights of this video.

But he also talks about how Lil Wayne must feel very deeply about black on black homicide. He makes the argument that Wayne probably knows a lot more people in poverty than he does, a lot more people who died because of gun violence than he does, and couldn't possibly be careless about it.

As always, he challenges hip-hop to rise above what it often is -- to rise above being slaves for dollars.

Lil Wayne Trashes the Bible on "Sorry 4 The Wait 2" mixtape;Uses "Lord" 30 Times


"Find out where your parents stay tell my goons to go straight to your momma room

What's in your pockets? What's in your pocketbook?
We think the bible's a comic book"

"Hollyweezy," Lil Wayne, Sorry 4 The Wait 2

New Orleans MC Lil Wayne trashed the Holy Bible on his new "Sorry 4 The Wait 2" mixtape, calling it a "comic
book."

It wasn't the only religious reference in the song "Hollyweezy." He says "Lord" twice later in the song, rapping "Lord please don't let this car break down / H-Town! Lord, I've done went from Hollygrove to H-Town."

He also uses the word "Lord" at least 30 times on the entire mixtape. For example, he says the word five times in the last track "Dreams & Nightmares," and six times -- the most in one song -- on "Selsun Blue."

Lil Wayne Disses President Obama on "Sorry 4 The Wait 2" mixtape


"These crooked a** cops still winning
Black man family still mourning
Black president ain't do nothing
Need a real n*gga up in that office"

"Trap House" Lil Wayne, Sorry 4 The Wait 2

New Orleans MC Lil Wayne rapped the above lyrics in a song off of his new "Sorry 4 The Wait 2" mixtape. The song "Trap House" is the second track.

The lyrics were a shot at President Obama for not doing enough in response to the deaths of Eric Garner, Michael Brown, Tamir Rice and countless other black men, teens and boys who were killed at the hands of police officers in the United States.

President Obama briefly referenced the issue of police brutality directed towards African-Americans as "the events of Ferguson and New York" in his 2015 State of the Union address Monday night.

Additionally, last December the president proposed a $263 million spending package that will "increase the use of body-worn cameras, expand training for law enforcement agencies (LEAs), add more resources for police department reform, and multiply the number of cities where DOJ facilitates community and local LEA engagement," according to a White House press release.

Critics are skeptical that body cameras will work, citing the non-indictment of NYPD officer Daniel Pantaleo, the officer who put 43-year old Eric Garner in a chokehold on camera.

Lil Wayne released the mixtape Tuesday. The screenshot above is from an MTV2 article.
