Uncle Luke, the co-founder of the pioneering 80s rap group 2 Live Crew, is boiling that the Rock ‘N’ Roll Hall of Fame has continued to overlook the group’s career accomplishments and impact.
As the self-proclaimed “creator of Southern hip hop,” the Miami-based Uncle Luke, 60, and the rest of his group have established themselves as one of the golden-era hitmakers in the hip-hop space, particularly with the smash hits, “Me So Horney” and “Dirty Nursery Rhymes.”
Luther Campbell a.k.a. Uncle Luke of 2 Live Crew fame is speaking out about being snubbed by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The hip-hop icon took to his social media accounts to address the fact that his group was not among the 2021 class that the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame announced earlier this month. The Miami rapper wrote over the weekend, “S t another year of not getting inducted to the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame.”
Per Ace Showbiz, “to be able to be considered for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, an artist or act must be 25 years removed from their first recording,” the outlet writes. 2 Live Crew is definitely eligible as their debut album” The 2 Live Crew Is What We Are” was released in 1986.
Expressing his frustration over yet another snub, the Miami rapper writes on his Instagram account, S t another year of not getting inducted to the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.

Almost immediately after Scott s speech ended, liberals on Twitter caused the term
Uncle Tim a play on the racial slur Uncle Tom to trend for hours on the social media network until the site forcibly took it down.
However, whereas conservatives would have been raked through the hot coals in the kangaroo court of cancel culture for doing so, liberals have gotten a free pass for calling Scott multiple racial slurs.
