Uncle Luke Recalls Fighting New York Rappers Over Southern Rap Hate
Uncle Luke recalls fighting New York rappers over their Southern rap hate. See what he said.
The 2 Live Crew frontman celebrated 40 years of Miami hip-hop by giving fans a history lesson on his Instagram account about the group’s early struggles to be taken seriously by fellow rappers from New York, specifically Run-D.M.C., Salt-N-Pepa, Kid ‘N Play, Eric B. Luke then brought up the group’s beef with Salt-N-Pepa and Kid ‘N Play over their remarks on an episode of BET’s Video Soul hosted by Donnie Simpson that the music 2 Live Crew was making wasn’t hip-hop. In 1990, 2 Live Crew addressed those comments on the interlude “ I Ain’t Bullsh—ttin’ Part 2 ” off their controversial album Banned in the U.S.A., on which they hurl homophobic insults for about six minutes.
