Uncle Luke of the infamous 2 Live Crew is the latest of JAY-Z’s peers to speak out against his alliance with the National Football League.
During an interview with TMZ, the veteran Hip Hop artist referred to the Roc Nation head honcho as the “token black guy” and explained how it’s possible Hov is being used.
“[The NFL is] basically showing that, ‘Aye look, let me go get a token black guy, throw him out there, say we’re dealing with systemic racism and say we’re having him involved with the entertainment,” Luke says in the clip. “It specifically said that JAY-Z would be involved with the systemic racism and the entertainment. Right now, that’s an F.”
He later added, “If they did this and you were at the table… then JAY-Z should have put in his resignation at that point. If he does not resign or they don’t make this right then [the NFL] is actually using him.”
Last month, Luke penned an op-ed for the Miami New Times, criticizing Jay and the NFL’s selections of Shakira and Jennifer Lopez for the Super Bowl halftime show. He’s adamant local Miami artists such as Rick Ross, Pitbull, Trick Daddy, Flo Rida or DJ Khaled should’ve been chosen for the gig instead.
“Pitbull, AKA Mr. Worldwide, along with Flo Rida and Rick Ross, should really be the headliners of this halftime show,” he wrote in part. “J. Lo and Shakira should be Pitbull’s invited guests since he did songs with them.
“And Flo Rida should be inviting Trick Daddy, Trina, and other Miami superstars to share the spotlight. The NFL is going about this ass-backward.”
Several special guests are expected to be added to the roster — it may or may not include Pitbull.
Watch his full interview above.
Jay z is the king of hiphop sellouts.
More than Hammer, Vanilla Ice, Diddy, Black Eyed Peas, Flo-Rida and Pitbull??
Yes. Because you just named entertainers. Jayz used to be an actually great MC and hiphop artist. The names you shared were NEVER mCs. Big fucking difference… That’s like calling Michael Jackson a sellout ofr making pop music lol. Vanilla ice didn’t sell out when compared to the likes of Snoop Dogg…
Did you say Flo-Rida as being a hip-hop sellout more than jay-z??? LMAO what year was your dumbass born in?? Flo-Rida never sold out more than jay-z or any rapper and everybody will agree with that and are laughing at you clown! Flo-Rida been the lamest rapper of all time go do your research and history on his numbers and album sells and then talk
Comment was to Jayesin NOT Yup! Smh why does it say “reply to Jayesin” but it replies my comment to Yup ??
Black People: We want more successful blacks. *Jay-Z becomes a billionaire and strikes deal with NFL* Black People: …But not that black person!
White people: I don’t like Black people because I’m better than them….White people: Lebron James is my favorite player Michael Jackson is my favorite singer and Nas is my favorite rapper
Ill tell u what hurts, is ur butt! Butthurt mfer! Hahaha
U smell like a kunt I mean skunk
U maddddd bitter mfer lol
C’mon now maternalized, materialistic gooftroop. This false-prophet-for-profit, Baphomet buckdancing bucketboy don’t want nothing black but some slacks. Quit nut-hugging effeminate busters!??♂️
U sound like u think you are saying something intelligent but you are a racist moron and a low life. Science and mathematics and kangz and qweenz tho, carry on. LOL!
Guaranteed, your SoundCloud has been up for a decade and has 42 total plays
LOL @ Officer Ricky playing the halftime show! He can barely fill a 1000 seat venue.
Facts
How is he the token black guy? Jay Z is an ex crack dealer and one of the most influential rappers of all time. Gtfoh it’s a win for the black community that he is involved.
Why is it a win? From everything we know this position will lead to about 13 million in charity to select organizations in NFL cities, some concerts, Jay-z picking a halftime performer, and a clothing line. The only really helpful thing is the donations and if Jay is a billionaire he could have done that himself. This seems like the NFL’s way of trying to get less heat for how they handled player protests.
Crabs in a barrel…….
This guy is a racist moron. Miami is much more known for latino heritage than african american heritage. JLO and Shakirra are latina. He hates white people so much that anybody thats not black must be white as far as hes concerned. Get over it. Nobody besides bitter black power losers like lord jamar cares what you have to say.
white ppl are descandants of annunaki dictator enlil.. having a high RH- blood type equates to being in the earth ruling class
white nationalism stems from the aryan concept. Which is all about keeping the RH- blood type pure.. Racism is real butbits about the rich class(pure RH-) vs the poor which is anyone with normal human blood
my man dame dash bout to blow the lid off this bitch for all u plebs
Yeah yeah yeah and santa clause was really black its just us white devils distorting history! Science and mathematics, kings and qweenz, blah zay blah! Kiss my ass skunk.
Also Geaorge Zimmerman was Latino you piece of shit
When are we ever going to eradicate the black, white, brown, red, yellow skin racial lie? Having the same skin color does not make you any more related to someone as having the same eye color or the same hair color.
It absolutely astounds me how little people know about biology and how those who complain most about the government construct called race, are the ones who cling to it the most.
There’s no such thing as a “black race,” or a “white race,” etc. There is only the human SPECIES and segregationist are a viral plaguefrom what should be a historical event, but ro many people are so rooted in the past that they taint the present with their very existence.
theres humans and theres royal bloodline annunakis whis blood type is different then humans.. This is why the royal familys blood type is amongst only 2000 or so ppl on the planet. The european royal familys and the house of Saud all have RH- blood types.. The rest of us are considered peasants
so there is 99.999% of us who are humans and the rest are the unelected ruling bloodline
It’s kind of funny that half of the Black artists that he wants there aren’t even supported by the black community. I am saying this as a black man.
I agree with you 100% my black brotha.
i can see pitbull but as for the others rent you a venue or few for the night for your come up because its not gonna be at the halftime show lol trick trina was 25 years ago flo not worldwide like that and ross was never real, khalid would be a maybe but even hes lame
