Luke Keeps it Real

Luther “Uncle Luke” Campbell of 2 Live Crew spoke to New Times about how he helped mainstream 2 Live Crew. He said, “I was not just their hype man; I was the hook man,” he told New Times. “I gave them hits. The brain of that operation was me. They would write their verses, but it was all based on my hooks.”
In talking about how he single handedly inked a multimillion dollar deal:
“Hell yeah, I got $5 million from Atlantic Records,” he said. “They did a deal with Luke Records, and I owned Luke Records. They were doing a record deal with me and my company. 2 Live Crew can’t blame me for where they are at in their lives. They can only blame themselves.”

Dang that’s a little harsh but I won’t knock home for being straight forward.
