On LiL Wayne’s final song on Tha Carter III, Weezy takes a moment to direct a diss towards Rev. Al. On the Nina Simone sampled “DontGetIt,” Wayne explains why he doesn’t respect Al:
“You’re the type that gets off on gettin’ on other people,” Wayne says as he talks through the end of the song. “I much rather you talk to me first and see if you can learn an opinion before you make one Mr Sharpton and anyone like you, you don’t know me.”
“You see you are no MLK, you are no Jesse Jackson. You a nobody, to me, you’re just another Don King with a perm, just a little more political,” he continues. “And that just means you’re a little unhuman than us humans. And now, let me be human by sayin’ fuck Al Sharpton!”
Is this Crackhead serious?
Reverand Al responeded with this:
While some of the rappers don’t like the fact that Reverand Sharpton has been leading marches against the use of the N, B, H words and NAN’s stance against the degradation of women in music, a Gallup poll released last week revealed that Reverand Sharpton has a 50% approval rate among African Americans. So why dignify a response to one rap artist who doesn’t even say anything substantive.”
Wooooorrdddd
