The former leader of 2 Live Crew recently spoke with WatchLOUD, and Campbell had some words about Ye’s decision to tie the knot with the famous reality show star. When asked if there was a difference between R&B singers using songwriters and rappers using ghostwriters, Uncle Luke offered his opinion on why things in Hip Hop have changed.
“It used to be a difference. Before Kanye West, rappers weren’t wifing all these hoes. Rappers would be secure with their woman,” said Luke. “When you look at Ice Cube, he’s always been with his wife. You look at Will Smith – he’s always been with [Jada Pinkett Smith]. Hip Hop was different. We didn’t get caught up in the Hollywood thing.”
He added, “We weren’t marrying girls or wifing girls for the internet to blow up.”
