Lil Wayne surely is happy because Rick Ross’ line on Rocko’s “U.E.N.O.” has taken the heat off him and his controversial Emmett Till line. The irony in both rappers’ lyrics is that they come on music from the A1 Freebandz camp. Future’s “Karate Chop” remix is where Lil Wayne dropped the Emmett Till line and Rocko’s “U.E.N.O.” also features Future.
Since the lyrics of the song were picked up, things have gone from bad to worse. Rick Ross and even his sponsor, Reebok, have been boycotted. A radio station in Michigan went as far as banning all music from Rick Ross. Feeling the pressure, Rocko decided to simply remove Rick Ross from the song and is fielding new verses.
Rocko called into Hot 97, where he talked to Ebro and K. Foxx about the situation. First, he explained his reasoning for removing Rick Ross from the song. Then, the Atlanta rapper went on to talk about some other rappers who have submitted verses to him. Young Jeezy is among the rappers he is considering for the new “U.E.N.O.”
