When asked about the difference between R&B and Rap, Uncle Luke says Kanye West is responsible for changing Rap with his high-profile relationships.
“It used to be a difference, before Kanye West, rappers wasn’t wifin’ all these hoes,” Uncle Luke says during an interview with WatchLOUD . “Rappers would be secure with they woman. You look at Ice Cube. He’s always been with is wife. You look at Will Smith. He’s always been with her. Hip Hop was different.”
After a high-profile relationship with Amber Rose, West married Kim Kardashian in May of last year.
Ice Cube married his longtime girlfriend Kimberly Woodruff in 1992 and Will Smith married Jada Pinkett Smith in 1997. Both couples are still married with children.
“We didn’t get caught up in the Hollywood thing, where, ok rappers are now marrying Hollywood girls, leaving one, going to the next one, leaving this one,” Uncle Luke continues. “We didn’t do that. I mean, we were like real secure. We wasn’t marrying girls or wifing girls for the Internet to blow up.”
Agreed, hip hop used to be about being a creative individual, but now the game is full of followers and it’s accepted. The hip hop I remember didn’t allow their colleagues to wear dresses. I wish the game really did feel like Tupac was back. The 2 Live general made some good points.
Grandpa Luke just mad that the mighty Yeezus is tappin’ Kim Kardashian’s gorgeous ass and he ain’t. His old ass gotta use Viagra now, LMAO. Shut up and bow down. #AllHailYeezus
Nigga, you cant be serious. This nigga Luke is from Miami–home of the non-black girl with ass, only second to New York and a few other northern cities. Kim is a counterfeit Dominican or Puerto Rican. She has a fake ass and isnt as smart any Taino Queen. That nigga has probably fucked girls on Kims level with much better bodies and faces.
Luke had Miami and bomb ass stripper type chicks that had bodies which Kardashian pays money to look like in his day. Nowadays it’s Revenge of The Nerds running hip hop. Following Kanye’ instead of 2 Pacs, big difference. Straight Out Of Compton vs Started from The Bottom.
You have no idea what Luke has done, all this shit you c now Luke, with 2 Live Crew been doing this since ’85, check their first album cover, so you know down their Miami its countless chicks that Kim West cant fuck wit, and their shit real.
I agree. I think when Kanye wifed Amber, who was a stripper, that made it more acceptable for other people to wife hoes.
I agree with you man, hip hop has changed. This generation is lost, I dont get hype over any music anymore. No clue who will save hip hop, alot of cats will say the kendricks, j coles, etc will save it but i dont know. Theres still something in their music, something that lacks. No disrespect to the few talented cats out there but hip hop isnt the same. Shits all about popularity and who will be on tmz rather than the art itself.
You obviously haven’t to any Kendrick Lamar then
@Reggie: Lamar is good and all that but if he came in the 90’s nobody would have paid him attention. Lamar simply would not have reached this much fame in the biggie, pac, esco, mobb deep era. The only reason he is hailed is because all the other competing rappers are crap. That’s the truth!!!!
Agree with Luke. The hoe swapping is out of control like there’s a shortage of women!!
shot out tO uncle luke…kanye west is gay and we know it-black skinhead
what he said is tRue. but its only because rappers in the 90ies werent famous enough to get with these mainstream starlets. they probably fucked them behind the scenes but they aint have the status to wife them. but on the flip side now all the white pop stars are actin like rappers, getting all tatted, smoking weed, twerking on stage and getting arrested so…
…and using the n word like they allowed to do it
Nah, more has to do with nerds running the game today. Dudes weren’t some A&R person at the major’s wet dream back then. They were just dudes from the hood that some dude that owned an independent label, usually another hood dude, thought could spit. Now, this is the black pop division so you’ll get corny shit like people wifing video hoes and reality TV stars. Dudes back in the day didn’t even want you to know that they were tossing up white girls, case in point the people who apparently didn’t know about Pac and Madonna, and believe me, there are a lot more of those stories.
Word!!!
whats this idiot talking about. Kool G Rap wifed Superhead!
Kool G Rap had superhead Long before she became a hoe..
From making songs like goldigger marrying a pornstar kanye really fell off. I mean kim is the worst thing to happen to the female race. Fuck kanye fuck kim. They both garbage!!!
Yes Kim is hoe! lol
Kim’s a ho, but she’s worth million$. That’s the difference…these dudes ain’t wifing regular ho’s. they’re wifing ho’s with money
