Luther “Uncle Luke” Campbell knows he’s a pioneer in Hip Hop and music in general. After the recent round of , the 2 Live Crew legend feels a level of disrespect by the voting committee.
“Shit another year of not getting inducted into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame,” Luke shared on Instagram Friday (May 21).
2 Live Crew released their debut album The 2 Live Crew Is What We Are in 1986, making them eligible for Hall induction. For an artist or act to be considered for the Hall, they must be 25 years removed from their first recording. The group would continue to release albums in the late ’80s and early ’90s such as As Nasty As They Wanna Be. The album, led by the lead single “Me So Horny,” would sell 2 million copies but set a precedent for vulgarity and the argument of rap lyrics in relation to the 1st Amendment. The group’s follow-up album, 1990’s Banned In The U.S.A. became the first ever to be presented with a parental advisory sticker from the Recording Industry Association of America.
Uncle Luke Thinks He Dissed Funkmaster Flex & Kool DJ Red Alert At BET Hip Hop Awards
In 2017, Uncle Luke was honored by BET at the BET Hip Hop Awards for Lifetime Achievement. In an Instagram post, he reflected on the honor while wanting to show his son the “I Am Hip Hop” Award trophy.
“Here it is Ladies and Gentlemen my iamhiphop Lifetime Achievement Award from the Entertainment Industry that I love so much but have always been snubbed,” he wrote. “I Came straight home to show my son Blake but he was sleep. I’ve been waiting 35 years for this I want to thank new boss at #bet Connie Orlando Jesse Collins Debra Lee for this Honor.”

I got respect for uncle luke, but with that being said 2 live crew was not a good group musically, quality of their music is very low, borderline terrible. I never get why rap groups and rappers push so hard and complain about being in the Rock and Roll hall of fame. If they don’t put you in or want you in why would you wanna be in?
I definitely think the group was not terrible They may have had vulgar language but they make good music, good production and the style was from a different place which was down south, even though the beats were up temple, In some tracks did have street hip hop style beats to them, lots of scratching, with deep rooted bass, not saying they were the best lyrical group out there but they definitely made some good music, but I respect everyone’s opinion because not everyone’s gonna like a certain group. and let’s be honest if it wasn’t for him, A lot of these rappers would never been able to express their self the way they did with their lyrics on certain subject matters. if it wasn’t for him fighting that most important monumental Supreme Court case, that alone should get him in the rock & roll Hall of fame
Fuck an award. Your talents awarded you money n a way to live comfortably
I have no idea why the hall of Fame is important to anybody. It’s just a boring corporate entity that’s better sniffing its own farts than it is for actually doing anything positive for music.
I speak internet… but wtf did he say?
He was never real hip hop, just a party rap junkie. I woulda left his dumazz out too. I never listened to that trash.
