Some call him,'Uncle Luke.' But most everyone remembers him from his '2 Live Crew Days.' The scantily clad women and rump shaking videos have been over for Luther Campbell for quite sometime. As he sits in his plush Miami home reminiscent of a luxurious Miami mini mansion Campbell has a few wise words for Rick Ross.
Luther Campbell actually penned a letter to Rick Ross in hopes of altering a career which may be headed for a catastrophic demise.
Luther begins,'As someone who survived several Rap beefs, I'm going to give you some advice," the letter begins. "All this gangster bullshit is jeopardizing your career. No club or arena is going to risk people getting shot. You can forget about doing any tours or CD signings. And if you can't make money, watch how fast Warner Bros. Records turns on you. I know from experience how venues and the music industry would like to black ball you."
Luther continues,"Every gangster rapper takes on the role of a real hood legend to build up street cred. But I don't want you to fall into the trap of believing you are really a gangster. Trust me, you don't want to go out like Biggie Smalls or Tupac. It's time you squash your beefs."
"It's a shame you can't enjoy life without spending part of your earnings on heavy security or risking your freedom by purchasing an arsenal. Remember, that's what landed T.I. and Lil Wayne in prison. You don't want that to happen to you. However, those are the consequences of rapping about being something you're not."
Will Rick Ross take heed to Luther's words of caution? Perhaps he should.
