Uncle Luke blasted the ongoing celebrations and events celebrating Hip-Hop’s 50th birthday for not including Florida rappers.
“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,” he captioned a post on Instagram.
“This industry has never considered us as hip-hop from the time I started hip-hop in the south. You can only imagine the names they called us. Country booty music trash, music. I can go on and on the disrespect towards Florida hip-hop. Still to this day, we fight for our respect, and you have stood behind us every step of the way. We will continue fighting. There will be a day this year where we come together and celebrate Florida hip-hop artist from the top of the state to the bottom. We love you Thank You for your support.”
Snoop Dogg appeared to agree and even made a suggestion to Luke.
“I love and respect what u did for me and my hip hop journey uncle Luke on and off the mic. Let’s do a southwest. Hip hop celebration so we can get the flowers to you and the. Other founders who mean so much to this thang called hip hop love and. Respect. O. G. Can’t spell hip hop without the south Or. The west,” he wrote.
Is Unlce Luke right?
