It wouldn’t be a real celebration of hip-hop history without someone taking their beef public. Following Friday’s huge Hip-Hop 50 concert at Yankee Stadium in New York City, one of the genre’s pioneers called out other artists for a perceived lack of love for Florida rap. On Saturday, 2 Live Crew founder Luther Campbell, a.k.a. Uncle Luke made his frustration known on Instagram.
“Hip-hop fans from Florida. Don’t be upset they don’t recognize your favorite Floridian artists as part of hip-hop’s 50th year celebrations,” Luke wrote. “This industry has never considered us as hip-hop from the time I started hip-hop in the south.”
